Ger Canning likes to say "back once again" several times during a hurling match. I keep waiting for him finishing the sentence with, "with the renegade master" and a 90s beat kicking in, never happens though!

Replying To blackspot91:  ""Both teams will be looking for a strong start here"
"Having a go from a huge distance out!!!!... wide"
"The next score is important/crucial or first score of the second half etc"
Surely that's a foul.. play on says the ref (especially listening on radio)
Or in general if the radio guy can't keep up and the stuff he is saying seems physically impossible."
"Surely thats a foul, play on ref" - coming to a local radio station near you, every Sunday!

Replying To Malonemagic:  "Nice one !!! But common practice is spelled -ce not -se , as it's a noun."
You must be somebody who says that "we would have did a lot of work on that" phrase when really they mean that they did a lot of work on that, as it seems to be annoying you that I picked it out that your trying so hard to find any spelling mistake i make
