Murray Walker, "The lead car is absolutely unique, except for the one behind it which is identical."

Ah there are so many quote from Murray...Not one race goes by without him making at least one mistake but he is still a great commentator.

Surely that should be "was a great commentator".
He retired at the end of last season as I recall. I hate motor racing though.

No discussion of this nature can be complete without the immortal cricket commentary: "The bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey"

Here's the most common thing said by English Commentators at England international football matches. At France 98' I counted it 6 times in ONE match.

"and its JUST like 1966!"

And 10 minutes later:

"That goal could have been just like 1966"

Half time:

"A great first half, just like 1966, right?"

etc.


And of course, the one I hear most often:

"AND ITS DISASTER FOR SCOTLAND!!"

So is that: "And it's disaster for Scotland: Sixchan's back!!:eek:"

I'm off to Edinburgh for a long weekend tomorrow so I'll keep my eyes open for neds, as Curt Sibling never stops going on about.

Well on a similar note, the Russian football team Fakel Voronezh are changing their name because they have won exactly fakel.
But there are no such plans for the Spanish team Osasuna, which means something rather naughty in Russian. :D

I'm off to Edinburgh for a long weekend tomorrow so I'll keep my eyes open for neds, as Curt Sibling never stops going on about.

You'll be pretty safe in Edinburgh, most neds inhabit their territory, Glasgow, and their breeding ground, Castle Greyskull.

To see neds, buy a Scottish TV guide and look for "Chewin' the Fat". At one point there will be a sketch with two Scottish country guys doing a TV program, and the neds will do somthing to them like pee in the river they're drinking from saying somthing like:

"Ho! You're drinkin' oor pish ya couple a' fannies!"

They are neds, and must be destroyed.

Ah yes but he may still do some commentating in his spare time...

Like in that Tango advert? Yeah, that would be quite amusing if it really was a commentator commentating on everyday things rather than some bozo the ad people think has mass-market appeal for the "young people".
Over to you Murray....:
"And I'm doing my shopping, I've cleared the difficult fruit and veg section and am moving onto frozen produce while negotiating the aisles with the usual finesse. I've had some difficulty with my front left wheel but a quick pitstop after the bakery hairpin will put that right and I'll be in contention with Mrs Jones again..."

'we were second to none execpt for theother team' Kevin Kegen :lol:

I could add one from Australian Rules Football, the commentator was Jack (Captain Blood) Dyer:

"And his hands reach out for the ball like a giant pair of testicles..."


..

And a new one from last night:

Bob Costa during the Olympics opening show:
"You know Kattie, it's never good when chased by giant icicles."

This was one of many stupids sayings that evening, but this one stood out.

"Det ser mörkt ut i nigerias avbytar bås"

One of the most legendary quotes from German footballers:

i don´t know were k11 got nigeria from. the quote was about cameroon and not nigeria.

In Portugal, we have also a legendary football commentator called Gabriel Alves. Let him speak:

- There goes Juskowiak, great piece of play: the advantage of having two legs... :D

- These german players play together since they were young. After all we all Know there are lots of german players palying in Germany...

- This WC will be very hard for the players. Today, for instance, we have a humidity much higher than 100%... (in the 1994 WC)

- There goes Raducioiu... very dangerous... the goal is imminent... HE IS GOING TO SCORE... OH, NO... He lost his timing, he should hav...GOAL! (also in the 1994 WC)

- This stadium is new, beautifull and aired... ;)

- Look how the Sporting players move in geometric figures at the center of the field. Oh, isn't football a plastic art... :goodjob:

- In TV, we all could see Costinha, Sporting's keaper, preparing himself to kick the ball and his lips moving to say something like:
"C'mon you #@%* pieces of s***, play you m%#**". And Gabriel says: "That's it Costinha. Very well, encouraging his teammates."

I know many more, but I can't remember now. Following, from different sources:

- Cycling "In the last Kilometer there are more than 1000 meters of straight road."

- A journalist, making comments about Inacio, a portuguese coach: " And Inacio closes his eyes and looks at the sky"

- Portuguese player Nuno Gomes: "We, players, are human, just like persons."

- Brazilian striker Jardel: "A derby is a derby and vice-versa."

- Brazilian Bradock, shouting against Romario, because of a long pass: "Not even if I had two lungs, I could never reach that ball."

- In Brazil there is a city called Bethelem, in the north-eastern part of the country, in a state called Para. A Brazilian player arriving there and making his first statement to the press: "It is a great honour to finally accomplish this dream of mine. To play in the same town where Jesus was born!" :lol:

And finally, to my american friends: at the eve of the 1994 WC, the american public was foccused on the NBA finals between NY Knicks and Houston Rockets. A portuguese reporter covering the WC went to the Madison Square Garden and interviewed a few people about the WC. This is the dialogue he had with one of the spectators:
- Do you think the Knicks will win the NBA?
- Offcourse. The Knicks will win this game and the final.
- Do you like soccer?
- Yeah, I like soccer very much.
- So, you know about the WC here in the US?
- Yes, I do. I think the Knicks are going to win that too.
- ... Aah, so you don't like soccer... :confused:
- Oh no, I like soccer very much and I still think the Knicks will win in soccer too. :hammer:

good ones mcdread:goodjob:
i liked the ones from wc 94 best. the summer of 94 was the best summer ever.:love:

The Legend of Navjot Singh Sidhu in India is bigger than ever and here's why

1.Ganguly was looking at that ball in the air as though it were an airhostess!!
2.If this lad were to face a rattlesnake, he would take the first bite.
3.He is not making good use of the atmospheric(weather) conditions.

That is all I can remember now, but I promise 10 more next time.:crazyeyes

Okay here's the ten more I promised:cool:
1.Statistics are like mini-skirts, they reveal less than what
they hide.:D

2.Well, my friend, all I can say is that it is very difficult to kill
a man who is completely hell-bent upon committing suicide.
(On a batsman who played a very bad shot and got out).

3.It's an ill omen when a fox licks its lambs(Even I cant figure out why??):confused:

4.the <team> top order seem like bicycles in a cycle stand-one
falls down and the complete row will be down.

5.The Batsman must remember that when he is dining with
the demon he must have a long spoon. (When a batsman was up against one of the best bowlers in the world).:satan:

6.Things look very, very crooked from here, more crooked than a jalebi(A sweet snack which is very twisted and rolled). More crooked than that crooked man in that crooked house living with his crooked dog and crooked cat.

7.What am I saying? I am saying that every right thinking Indian must feel like waving a black flag and sharpening his knife, no question about it.(After an unfair decision against Indian players).
:mad:
8.Denness is a menace. Menace, the Denness. Denness, the Menace. Denness is nothing but an executioner executing the doves while leaving the vultures highly flying.(Against the match referee responsible for the incident,Mike Dennes).

9.It looks like a white hen laying a black egg.
(Again more comments about the referee)

10.we love our cricket more than we love a cake with a red cherry on top(Self Explanatory)
