Huge point raised here I think and that's what the difference is between commentary and punditry . I wouldn't mind one person relating what is happening on the pitch as regards passing, shots, misses, goals etc. What I do hate is two gibbering idiots feeling it's their responsibility to fill every second of the game with inane comments, stupid jokes and unnecessary statistics.

I would quite like hearing the live crowd noises together with someone simply describing the action we are seeing on the pitch and saying fuck all when the ball is not in play. I'm not expecting them to hide their emotions and have a robotic voice devoid of all feeling but to just tell us what is happening rather than add unwanted opinions/comments.
Cool story, bro
