Regardless of one’s love or hatred for all things Murdoch, how refreshing and lovely it was to NOT hear Andy Gray’s moaningdulcet tones on our match yesterday. Nothing to do with the choice of broadcaster but rather the man in charge of the 2nd lip mic.

Now I dislike 5:15 games. Marginally less than the 12:45 ones, but still its just not right. However he who pays the referee calls the kick off time, and so 5:15 it must be.

But thankfully now, due to competition within the broadcasters that float in space, we have other commentators and smooth Des and most importantly, not Andy Gray and his trying-to-sound-impressive-with-a-baritone-voice that isn’t. Even ALed Jones can make a game sound more interesting than him. I mean how many bloody times does Gray intone the word “FANTASTICCCCCC….” only for it not to be. Watch Des on Countdown repeats and get a new word Andy.

The SKY maybe still Gray, but there’s blue yonder from the Green Isle. Happy Days.

PS why does our away kit shorts look like we’ve ripped the arse out of them, baring red undies to one and all ?
