Bairnardo Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I seriously don't understand how anyone can hate the aguerooooo moment of commentary. Presumably you didn't watch it live? It was unbelievable how that league campaign ended. Genuinely spine tingling. They were massive favourites to win the game at a canter and proceeded to f**k it up massively. Man United had all but finished and the title was theirs. It was an incredible end to a season and there was nothing fake or over-hyped in Tyler's reaction. Yeah I think it was pretty iconic. It wasnt just the Aguero bit, afterwards when he was on one about how "I swear you'll never see anything like this again". Wasnt scripted, as you couldn't really have scripted that. It was just pure amazement in his voice. Another iconic moment I always enjoy is Andy Grays "take a bow son" for a Steven Gerrard Champions League goal. Ets just perpetuated a myth there. "What a hit son" is what he says. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then went to Radio Clyde and provided surreal radio commentaries that Salvador Dali would have approved of. Nobody listening had a clue what was happening on the park. I'm pretty sure his contract was not renewed as he was accused of being too critical about Scotland's poor performance against Costa Rica. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"What a hit son" is what he says. It is iconic as even for premier league sceptics like me it was an amazing moment. The problem is sky sports turning it into a marketing piece and playing it at every given opportunity. Also although he didn’t say it on that specific occasion, Andy gray absolutely used ‘take a bow son’ as his little catchphrase. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was it PES? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PES used to have the guy who went on to to Channel 5 commentary (remember that?, is it still a thing in the UK?)

They showed a League Cup quarter final at East End against Oldco, when David Grondin scored to take it to a replay. PES used to have Peter Brackley back in the day, no? Can only remember one League Cup tie at East End shown on Channel Five - it was hosted by John Barnes the ex-footballer rather than the radio presenter IIRC - and I think we lost 1-0 to a late-ish Cannigia goal? It certainly wouldn't have been a game that ended up in a replay, since replays haven't been a thing in the League Cup for ages (ever, I think?). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
