Boring commentators

Just on the subject of commentators, I wish Gary Neville would just for once get Malacia’s name right
It’s not Malicia Gary, it’s Malacia, I know this shouldn’t bother me but it does because it’s basic

The simple basics.

On this note, I listened to the end of the cricket yesterday and the commentator made it sound like England had just wrapped up a comfortable friendly win.

Cricket is more gentlemanly...unless you are a gloating Aussie. But I do love their intensity.

Cricket commentators are really professional, unlike some of the nobs we get doing football.

Any answer not saying Martin Tyler is wrong

Thank you

It irritates me that the “professional” commentators can’t be bothered - nor do they get told apparently - to learn how to pronounce player’s names.
It’s Firmino, not Firminho.
Is Fabinho, not Fabino.
Every. Bloody. Game.

Also this.

I don’t think David Pleat ever pronounced a single players name correctly - Chimbomba was my favourite

Mark Lawrenson with Leroy Primus, not even close
