Also, commentators using the full name of some players. Surname will do thanks.

Agree with both of these. Re the first, is there some magic combination of number of syllables in a first name and surname combo that entices them into using both?! Like 2:2 (Timo Werner, Marcus Rashford etc) or do we think it's entirely random?!Additionally, commentators using nicknames or first names for certain players like they're best mates (e.g. "Trent").

The worst thing is when they use brandnames like CR7. Makes them sound like complete morons.Additionally, commentators using nicknames or first names for certain players like they're best mates (e.g. "Trent").
The worst was Martin Tyler calling Roberto Firmino “Bobby”.Additionally, commentators using nicknames or first names for certain players like they're best mates (e.g. "Trent").
Not about the actual game but when accounts quote players and in order to not have to include the question they essentially 'make up' the first part of the quote as if the player responded in that way repeating the question.
Some examples (made up but based on real stuff I've seen):
Bruno - "My 100th goal? I don't think about it. The most important is the 3 points." When they could just as easily say Bruno (on his 100th goal) etc..
"A move to Bayern? I don't think about rumours only concentrating on the season."
"My relationship with the manager? It is good, we are aligned."
It fecks me off
Haha, yeah good point re Garnacho. J V of H...now there's a name I haven't heard in a while! Blast from the past.Peter Drury absolutely loves yelling "Alejandro Garnacho" and I seem to remember (as well as differences in surname pronunciation) certain commentators using "Didier Drogba" while others just did the surname.
Edit: I did wonder if there was a surname length that led to them using nicknames or first names, as "Trent" and "Ox" were two examples that came to mind, but then I remembered Jan Venegoor of Hesselink who would often get the full name treatment.

With that specific player I think the commentators and pundits genuinely get confused in the moment and think that’s his surname. I mean, the guys name is basically backwards. He should be Alexander Arnold Trent. He’d still be rubbish at defending though!Additionally, commentators using nicknames or first names for certain players like they're best mates (e.g. "Trent").
That’s because you’re shit, aaaahhhhh!I've begun to get annoyed by lower league teams doing the "wooooooooaaaaa" every time the ball comes to the keeper followed by "you're shit aahhh".
Peter Drury feeling the need to lyrically wax about every fecking goal, especially in a big game.
Players in general acting like they've been hit with a mortar round every time they are fouled (Bruno, Son, a few others come to mind immediately). Getting kicked hurts a bit but my god how fecking soft are you.
Drury has been living off that 'Manolas the Greek God' thing for too long
It's so annoying, it's almost like he writes out these diatribes the night before for potential goalscorers and it's just not needed a lot of the time.

Martin Tyler ended up in a similar situation.
He had some famous lines narrating big moments and ended up quite obviously trying to predict what the outcome of a game would be so he could use something pre-rehearsed and have some more. However, when that didn't happen he was frequently, blatantly fecked off and disinterested in what was going on.
Yeah I actually appreciated the off the cuff Martin Tyler moments far more (one of them is literally my location). But I guess it's to be expected for how long he's been doing it.
How comentators says Fernandes and Neves, even if i know its probably the correct way to say it portuguese.
No i hate itYou mean Bruno FernanCH doesn’t do it for you?
No i hate it
Not as much as Nevch thought.
The Brazillian Fred.Fredge was great though.
