Did anyone ever hear that Gah commentary from a club game in Tipperary or some place like that from about 10 years ago. Read about it. Apparently the commentator went mental with the referee, everyone and impartiality went out the door.
It was supposed - like that infamous Mr. Brennan advert (which I have on tape) - to be doing the rounds.

I remember years ago watching a Rory Bremner sketch where he was pretending to be Des Lynam:

"I was chatting up some birds on the gantry at last year's cup final when Motty suddenly came running up to say he had just gotten Ryan Giggs' autograph; put a bit of a damp towel on things ..."

I remember a Channel 4 horseracing commentator making a huge gaff when commentating on a prize giving ceremony, it was a mother and daughter doing the presentation. He said something like "and there is Miss xxxxxxxx presenting the award. She is very pretty woman isn't she? And by her side is her mother who is not quite so............"
Then he makes a tortureous attempt to dig himself out of the hole he has dug for himself.
It then switches across to another commentator who say something like
"(comentators name) renegotiating his contract with Channel 4 racing"
It was hillarious!!
