Rid Skwerr Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) Colemanballs is a column in Private Eye to record the stupid things commentators and pundits say in commentary. Just heard my first ever live one on tv just now. The BBC guy doing the Shrewsbury - West Ham game had just described Shrewsbury striker, Carlton Morris as going "twelve goals without a game". Useful man to have on your bench, then! Edit to add - Thistle connection - Shrewsbury's shirt sponsor is Energy Check.

Stephen1876 Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I always find it interesting that it is suggested League 1 in England is miles ahead of the SPFL except Celtic. For the best part it probably is...but then you see guys like Carlton Morris playing for the team second top of the table. Lukas Akins also bagged hatfuls of goals in that league whilst Lyle Taylor seems to score more than he did in the SPFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianlucatoni Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Premier League The Best League in the World if you believe the bullsh*t ... arsenal, stoke - out leicester, bournemouth, west ham, swansea, chelsea - lucky to get a replay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyo Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 I know this isn't very PC and in poor taste; and please delete if necessary. But on Sportscene on Saturday I'm sure Tom English referred to the Falkirk score (vs United) as "the one that's going to take your eye out of your head". I thought it was careless.

crazy davie Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 I remember a few years ago Derek Johnstone on Clyde talking about some team having five men in their back four... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyo Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) I remember Derek Johnstone reporting team line-ups and noting that Stephen Pressley would miss the game due to a family bereavement, and saying "so he'll be a wee bit of a disappointed".

lady-isobel-barnett Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Can mind Gordon Smith commenting on a player who had damaged his arm in a tackle. The shrewd Smith suggesting that rather than immediately subbing the player he should be given time to see if he could run it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowenBoys Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 John Hartson, just now: "Swansea need to be careful here. This Liverpool team can score from anywhere, especially in the final third." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TartanC4 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Sure it's from viz Billy the fish...but classic... It's eleven players vs eleven players and the one who scores the most goals wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyo Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) There was an amazing goal in the Champions League final. About five touches between different players without the ball touching the ground, from midfield to goal. Steve McManaman described it as 'Subbuteo football' Edited January 24, 2018 by allyo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCjag Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 The Late, Great Arthur Montford commenting on THE League Cup Final noted that "With Jimmy Johnstone leaving the field, Celtic are down to twelve men! This was in the immediate aftermath of Johnstone savagely raking his shin down Ronnie Glavin's studs......well that's how I saw it then and I stand by the interpretation.

Weebaw1 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 The BBC radio commentary cut to the guy covering the Jags match. ' Such a close shave there for Thistle. Willie Gibson's drive missed the far post by the proverbial bawhair'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've reminded me of Lambini's testimonial game vs the h*ns... they subbed on a player without taking anyone off, and the guy on the PA announced "Has anyone checked the Rangers team ? They've got 12 men on the park - NOT INCLUDING the referee.!!!".... I thought that was hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
