"Harrison Dunk is so controlled. He passes the ball like a golfer."

"It is worth noting, after 20 minutes, that the U's know which way the goal they are scoring in is."

"You would expect the trains to run on time with a player like Danny Collins in the side; but, unlike a train, he looks like he could be done for pace."

“Grimsby town have landed one on the roof of the net. That’s ‘on the net’ not ‘back of the net’. “

He sounds fantastic! At least he doesn't speak in lazy footballese cliché like the average commentator. This is on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire I'm guessing. I'll have to give it a listen some time.
He was only filling in as the usual commentator was ill, he was supposed to be doing his few minutes at a local rugby game, which went uncovered. 
I thought he was fantastic entertainment myself, that doesn't seem to be the general consensus though, especially as nobody knew which team had scored the second goal, all we knew was there was a goal!

I hope that at the end he made a fishing net related pun about Grimsby being a fishing town yet Grimsby being unable to find the net.

It would've been remiss had he not. Nominative determinism means it's only a matter of time before Conor Sammon joins Grimsby Town. Them or Fleetwood.

Fleetwood Town have a group of Scottish fans that have a flag at their games, it says something like 'McCod Army' and it always makes me wonder why they missed the most obvious pun of all time because of their loyalty to a fish.

The problem being that you never knew who was attacking or who scored. It was on ten minutes before we knew it had kicked off!

Awful commentary, tremendous fun!

The classico on Eleven Sports was an awful experience. Some commentator who never shut up, alongise Karanka whom can abrely soeak English, and Graham Hunter who wanted to do his usual "talk about how great things used to be" routine. They had another lad at pitchside to tealk about how the crowd ws reacting to goals, subs etc.

Then at halftime, instead of a presenter/studio, they had the same 3 commentators again, using basically an iPhone turned to selfie camera. Far too close up, lads didn't know which way to look.

Get La Liga back on Sky/BT pronto

Partridge was dropped for today. The main man is still injured but the nod has been given to a young lad. In other words, they opted for the tea boy!

He had some kind of rare brain bug that almost killed him 10 years ago.Not sure if that was connected to his death. He was the journalist who broke the news of Roy Keane being sent home from Saipan, that's according to the SKY Sports website?
