[LU] Football

[John Sykes]

We in Canada, get some pretty darned good games via cable TV....some 
from Sky and others from BBC.  The play-by-play announcers as compared 
to other North American sports, are head and shoulders better.  The 
problem with the pbp guys here is, they forget they're doing TV and 
think they're during games on radio.  Non-stop...ball goes from - to, 
etc.  None of the usual banter about the price of fish and chips, or a 
player's statistics, etc.  But then, I, a former radio play-by-play 
broadcaster of football (soccer) always tried to present a picture in 
doing the broadcast....(Canadian Broadcaster of the year in 1974).  
Today,s commentators in Britain are something else.  Each goal is 
brilliant, amazing, marvelous, extraordinary....out of this world, etc.  
High-pitched and loud.  You know what?  I wouldn't have it any other 
way.  You all are very fortunate!
