Favourite bits of commentary

[stojkovic]

Any commentary that ends with the words "England nil".

its brilliant!

Who scored there?

For me - it's two bits in the same game - NRK's Arne Scheie during the Norway vs Brazil in the 1998 World Cup:

"Vi har scoret i Marseille! Vi har scoret mot Brasil. Vi har scoret ved Tore André Flo. Jeg tror det ikke! Flonaldo i Marseille og for en oppreisning for supporterne. 1-1, ikke noe er umulig i fotball. Vi har aldri tapt for Brasil!" - when Tore Andre Flo equalised


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFzAsqveT0w - Rekdal in the last minute with a penalty


And my favourite bit of radio commentary - Bryon Butler on BBC Radio during the England - Argentina match in the 86 World Cup: http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/sport/...eter_jones.ram

""Maradona... Turns like a little eel..."

[MariborKev]

Richie Kelly on BBC Radio Foyle during a Bohs v Derry game during the Treble season.

I'll try and dig out the relevant audio from somewhere.

[Pike B]

Thats the best ever!!

[Neish]

An absolute classic

[Metrostars]

Best ever was Phillip Green:

And Bohs have fuckin scored

Also, Ray Hudson is always a laugh whenever I watch Gol TV in the US:
"A gift from the Gods"


"there's gonna be some lovin going on tonight in the bedrooms of Madrid" and "braver than a matador in high heels in a pink tutu"


Starts fighting with his co-commentator when the camera goes on Tom Cruise "If he smelled a soccer jockstrap, he'd fade dead away"

[the 12 th man]

In other sports, Phil Liggett describing Stephen Roche's recovery on Alp D'huez in the 1987 Tour and Roche's victory in the 87 World Championships are all time favourites.

One of my favs,"Is that Stephen Roche,yes its STEPHEN ROCHE !!!",i believe his waxwork head from the old waxwork hall of fame in Dublin is still missing

[Seano]

- Jimmy Magee' s ' Dead Eye Dick Stapleton' on Stapos equaliser in the 3:3 draw v Spain at Lansdowne

- 'he's gonna flick one, he's gonna flick one', (cant remember commentators name) on Koemans retaken freekick in the 2 nil win by Holland V England in 93 I think,

[Den Perry]

what was that legendary Philip Greene gaffe years ago? I think Bohs equalised against the SuperHoops in the last minute and he said something like "Bohs have f...... equalised"

Anybody know exactly what he said?

Nothing could be better than this - legendary...

[Bottle of Tonic]

I dunno, them French lads shrieking is a bit much. The Dennis Bergkamp one is the best. Thats exactly the way you'd be too!

One man immediately jumped into my head. The immortal Willie Hegarty of shannonside radio.
But the co-commentator here takes the biscuit with his whooping and crying.

And this is all for an under 18's competition.

One of my favs,"Is that Stephen Roche,yes its STEPHEN ROCHE !!!"

That was at La Plagne.

[Dodge]

Yep, spot on Macy. My mistake

Dramatic stuff indeed

Not football, but Jimmy Magee again, as John Treacy came into the home straight to win a silver medal at the 1984 olympics. Jimmy listed every one of Irelands prevous silver medal winners and finished with Treacy just as he crossed the line. A sublime piece of timing.

(I remember another Magee classic during an Ireland France game at Landsdowne (could have been the 1981 encounter) He described one long haired Frenchman as having " A head like an unmade bed")

[Dodge]

Magee actually named every single Irish medal winner (of any colur) in the Olympics. Great stuff.
