Subject: RE: BS: Language Pet Peeves
I've been watching the women's football World Cup recently. Great stuff. Bring back Kenneth Wolstenholme and Motty, say I. These current strident teams of commentators are doing me brain in: "What a goal!" "What a save!" "What a miss!" "What a player!" I know that Ken and Motty used to do it too, but this lot, knocking sparks off each other, never shut up! I prefer the Brazilian-style commentary, "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"
