Hagar the Horrible Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I don't want to come over as insulting to Romania but was the Hampden Park announcer Romanian? or Eastern Europoean? If he was not then he was either drunk? or speaking "pureweegbytheway"! I did not understand one word, and there was no Subtitles? Now unless this guy does have an alcohol problem then it's about time there was someone there who can either translate or be bilingual for the hard of weegie? The reading of the team sheets was a nightmare, he was clearly struggling with the Brit names? what chance did he have with the Liths? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

269miles Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 It's the only time in my life I've been in a virtually empty stadium and still couldn't understand what he was saying. As for his pronounciation of players names - we should have known it would be an embarrasment when he had 3 tries at getting Brahim Hemdani right. What a plank.

bilston angel Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 He sounded laid back, indeed it took him an eternity to read out the teams, laid back could be another word for p!ssed though. A refreshing change from the current batch of announcers who all sound if they have been cloned, their patter all sounds the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N User Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I didn't think there was a worse announcer than the Easter road one, but last night I was proved wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I didn't think there was a worse announcer than the Easter road one, but last night I was proved wrong. As the fan at the back of me said"he sounded like Jack from Still Game". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherlock Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I thought he was quite funny. Half expected him to burst into a 'club song' - Vic Reeves stylee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTidy Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I did not understand one word, and there was no Subtitles? Actually there was the big screens that showed the teams as he read them. But that's beside the point. The boy had basic problems with the English language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boy had basic problems with the English language. That didn't help him : the announcer's batting order was completely different from the one on the video screens.

During the half time 10 second shot competition the kids had taken their shot before he even got to saying "10". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Famous Hearts Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 He seemed to be unable to count either going by the score he gave for the kids shoot out a half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
