Hi Steve, This isn't something we're able to make available at the moment, due to the way these commentaries are entered into the content management system.
However, I will forward the idea over the BBC Sport website for them to have a look at.

I could then put soemthing together that would trigger a popup when it finds words like "Goal" and "Booking" in the description field. I'd then think about writing something that takes the descriptions and turns them into a pitch representation of the match, but ultimately decide to just watch the telly instead.
