Richey Edwards Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Why does he always sound fucking terrified, as if he's getting chased by a pack of hounds? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Possibly relevant; I still remember watching a game between two non-Celtgers sides, and when one of them took the lead, the very first words out of his mouth were, "AND THAT'S A MASSIVE GOAL FOR RANGERS!" It wasn't a mistake - his thoughts were just immediately with a side who weren't playing. So I take it he has massive gambling debts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 It's always a disappointment when Liam McLeod and not someone else is the main commentator on a game. He actually managed to make Charlie Mulgrew sound entertaining the other night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either that he's being chased or he's giving a live report from the scene of an unfolding catastrophe. I suppose he's been told to try and sound dramatic. But it's just fucking stupid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I actually like him and quite enjoy his dramatic tones. He conveys passion without being unprofessional (unlike screeching numpty Peter Martin) or Crocker-esque. Granted I only really listen to him commentate on Scotland games, but a highlight for me was how utterly raging he was when commentating (for the radio) on us getting humped by Russia. It was controlled and, aye, dramatic, but utterly believable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I think the problem with McLeod is that he has a habit of saying something 'sound-bitery', the "yes he can, yes.. he.. can" shout when (I think) Griffiths scored that freekick against England has been played to death. I'll tell you the person who I just cannot stand listening to is Paul Mitchell, and it's absolutely nothing to do with his commentary which, in general, is very good. It's that the man is a dyed in the wool god botherer (like full on), and I just can't honestly take him seriously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tries to make even a throw in sound like the Aguerrrrrrooooooooo moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Twitter and particularly his 'liked' list are...shall we say...a real trip into an alternate dimension. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lofarl Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 He's like a wee yapping dug. Just never shuts his mouth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
