He should really have tossed when he best his man the first time, but he tried to beat him again, but by then it was too late, he had multiple options that were all by then closed down, his goose was cooked...... or geese rather, because there were more than one.
FFS. I'd rather listen to the two kiwi numpties.
Yeah Slater bobbed up with "and he gives it some violence" about 2 seasons back. This was lifted word for word by John Gregory (ex-Villa gaffer) who used it all the time on the Premier League telecasts.Quote:

After a bit (and no doubt being tipped off) Slater tweaked it to something else about violence.
Still just as lame though, but original and lame.
its just annoying that they go off on these tangents. How about just telling how it is and commentate the actual game and learn peoples names. FFS they get payed for the shit they produce.
anyone notice in cricket they use the word "Genuine" to explain basically everything.
