As you say, though, you have to admire his decision-making skills.<BR/><BR/>Ben - Acuna = squashed dwarf.<BR/><BR/>Paul - Do you remember that time in a game against Villa, I think it was, when Fergie stormed out of a press conference? He'd said that there should've been 14 minutes of added time and the press laughed. Fergie didn't like that very much...<BR/><BR/>ST - It's interesting that Adams managed to avoid the kind of abuse Graham Le Saux got for reading the Guardian. I think he still had the old-fashioned centre-back in him somewhere.<BR/><BR/>Paul A - I quite like Andy Gray, which doesn't necessarily mean he's any good. When a player was sent off in a game a couple of seasons ago, he said "I hate to see players needlessly tugged off before half time." Neither he nor Tyler could speak for the next couple of minutes, and you could hear the faint sound of schoolboy giggling.<BR/><BR/>Sarah - never heard of him, but it's a great football story of triumph over adv"arse"ity. <BR/><BR/>Sorry.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07357389424886189542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15083755.post-1150726206115183832006-06-19T15:10:00.000+01:002006-06-19T15:10:00.000+01:00I heard the dulcet Big Ron tones somewhere recentl...I heard the dulcet Big Ron tones somewhere recently, but I cant remember where. I think UK Gold (bizarrely) are covering the World Cup also - he might be their co-commentator. It was kinda nice to hear him again, actually.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure "unless Man Utd score in which case we can go for a cup of tea" fits on those electronic boards, does it? And anyway, it's Budweiser at the Glazerdome these days, not cups of tea. And it's not "added time", it's "overtime"....LBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06234702470107953581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15083755.post-1150718504191773012006-06-19T13:01:00.000+01:002006-06-19T13:01:00.000+01:00ST: You're right - Tony Adams's "rebirth" was very...ST: You're right - Tony Adams's "rebirth" was very strange indeed.<BR/><BR/>Mike: "According to my projections, if he’d carried on co-commentating for another ten years, he would have become the most prolific wordsmith since Shakespeare" - very true. Much more entertaining than the current crop of idiots (Andy Gray included).Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03008553685046831301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15083755.post-1150653759680488952006-06-18T19:02:00.000+01:002006-06-18T19:02:00.000+01:00Nice - keep 'em coming!Nice - keep 'em coming!weeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01602950445306813601noreply@blogger.com
