The last 2 pages of this thread have been wild.

I love that apparently it was a Spurs fan that Dier was confronting (eventually).
10 min after he started climbing one-by-one over about 100 seats...

One of the classic Footballers Go Feral moments - everyone has obviously seen the famous photo of Cantona kicking the fan in the stands, I'd never heard the radio commentary of that moment before: https://twitter.com/footballcliches/status/824193194233593856?s=21

JP on Capital Gold was the best commentator in the country by a long way, the way he could flip from fugue-state descriptions of crisp packets being blown around the corner flag to this pitch whenever exciting things happened was unbelievable and perfectly encapsulated the actual, fundamentally bipolar, state of being a football fan. Also scousers loving hate him, so that's always a good sign.

It's so disappointing that either age, corporate fit, or much-needed medication has flattened him out to a generic BBC commentator since he moved to Match of the Day.

Well for match of the day he watches the clips beforehand and scripts it, though he denies it.

This is why he's poo poo, whenever he pipes up with something like "Player X has been quiet so far" you know he's about to score.

Robot wars broke him or something.

You can always tell how scripted match of the day commentary is because of some prescient thing the commentator will say before a big incident. Just cannot help feeding their own egos even though it makes them look like knobs.

I think his defining moment came before football was even invented when Arsenal won the league in 1989:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IafGuI0WioE

(This obviously *isn't* him commentating, but is to give all you children a quick catchup on the fairly unique circumstances, and also to remind you just how dull most British commentators - in this case Brian Moore - are).

He managed to go from a slightly somber reflection on Hillsbrough and the negative, defensive tactics of Arsenal frustrating a Liverpool team that were still one of the best in the world to "Smith knocks it through, lucky bounce AND MICKEY THOMAS HAS WON IT!" covering a wider range of volume and pitch than an entire Mariah Carey album in about one and a half seconds. Capital Gold used it for all their jingles for like five years (a big reason why scousers hate him - they licensed their commentaries of London-based games to other local radio stations so Liverpool fans had to hear that six or seven times a season, lol)

Also apparently they use his commentary for the England-San Marino game where San Marino scored in the first 8 seconds as an example in classes on commentary, because he managed to get his entire commercial spiel in before the goal went in (not mentioning the sponsors in the first minute of the commentary would have cost the station money).

In the early 2000s the channel showing english football here only had their own commentators for a few mathces and we would get some sort of international feed for the others. Sometimes it was the MOTD commentaters and they were really annoying because they would always try to be prescient and mention cetrebacks for every corner and so on. So at least back then it was live.

He apparently played with a team, they of course won the tournament, his team won 11-2 and he scored 5 goals and 2 assists. The prize was a 16kg pig.

No idea how true this is tbh but it is all fact in my heart.

Nowhere near Ronaldinho but I showed up for a 5 a side charity tournament a few years ago and the first team I played against had 2 capped US Internationals (including the keeper) and another guy who played for about a decade in MLS in their squad... of five.

To no one's surprise they won the tournament.
