We've had 'one of those' at the Amex too... not sure it went down very well to be honest.

We've had "Jamie Murray" twice so far this season. Fair enough, we've got a Jamie Murphy and a Glenn Murray and the guy might be a big fan of doubles tennis which can lead to slightly understandable confusion.

Last night was something else. How on Earth can you confuse Rohan Ince - a 6'3 black man built like an absolute tank - with Uwe Hunemeier - a blonde haired German who in a different life could've been a poster boy for the Aryan race?

The posh new bloke doing the announcing must be on a wind up as nobody with half a brain cell could get things so muddled up. It is almost Partridge-esque in its comedy

Long may it continue

It made me chuckle.
It also reminded me of a caption in a programme photo from the late 1980s, where the sub editor got Nicky Bissett and Keith Dublin mixed up

If there was an emergency it would be a major problem because he is very poor. Why cannot Richie Reynolds who is used to having a mike in hands not double up as they rarely overlap.

Where we sit in WSL we cannot understand RR either especially the half time interviews. The fault is with the PA system although I know management claim it's aok.

great when he lost it when everyone on the pitch that time. Fantastic

Theres a youtube of him losing his shit somewhere out there
That was Paul Samrah. Who in an ironic twist of fate was one of the 200 or so people who invaded the pitch four days later when we sewed up the title at Walsall

Nothing can eclipse the Bristol City announcer who once played Smokie's 'Alice' at a match against Albion.

Only he played the other version...

For those complaining to Paul B about this guy, it's worth noting that NSC's very own HB&B implied - at least that's how I read it - that he'd also applied and been turned down for this prestigious job. What I'm saying is: don't complain so much that he gets replaced, it could be worse.

This might true. But its 'public address system'. Tannoy is a brand name like Durex.

This is true, but then I hoover, not vacuum clean my carpet.
How many people use sellotape instead of sticky backed plastic? Leading brand names stick in the mind.
