The modern day football commentator. 05:56 - Jan 25 with 483 viewsBenters

Having just watched the highlights of a number of games when did it become so popular for the modern day commentator to shout or near enough scream the name of the person taking a shot?

It gets right on my wick.

I actually watch live games either with the sound down to marginally audible or completely off.
They've just got too much to say for themselves. I guess they get paid too much so need to justify the expense.

Two words: Jonathan Pearce.

Although tbf, he has mellowed a lot with age. When he first started he screamed everything.

It is a commentating technique in which the aim is to raise the tension by increasing pitch, tempo and volume as events reach a climax. A notable master of this being legendary horseracing commentator Peter O'Sullevan.

However, if they start too early or too fast, the person on the mic is left with nowhere to go but screaming and inarticulacy. Simply poor technique.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

There was a Leeds game in the autumn when it sounded like 'Match of the Day' had got Keith Lemon in for the highlights commentary.

It’s for the TikTok generation that just watch highlights.

If they do it for every chance, will be better for highlight reels when the get one correct, but annoying for the people that can watch a whole match.
