I've been listening to a lot of televised football commentary over the years and have come to the conclusion it's all crap. Radio commentary is so much better generally (with the exception of Radio Wales).
I often turn the commentary off when watching football and usually enjoy it more, after all I don't need any commentary when I'm watching the damned thing myself. However, what do I miss? ...the crowd atmosphere! Wouldn't it just be perfect for some of us miserable old buggers whereby the television companies allow the option of watching the game with just the sound of the crowd? Bliss!
