Make some noise for the Hindmarsh announcer

Postby mcjules Wed Dec 26, 2012 11:25 pm

Don't want to deflect too much from our post game lament, but this guy has been annoying me for a number of seasons :D

Reasons:
* He can't pronounce our own players names when he's doing the starting lineups and subs. Fabio (A pronounced like the letter) Ferreira is the current one that grates me.
* He can't pronounce opposition teams player names. I'm not talking about during the champions league where there are some tongue twisters but A-league players that if he watched games on tv (I can only assume he doesn't) he'd know the accepted pronunciations.
* If I was Galekovic's sponsor, Coiltek Manufacturing I wouldn't be too happy that he keeps calling it Colitek.
* As the thread title says, all he knows how to say is "Make some noise for...<insert name>"

This thread is a little tongue in cheek. I don't think I can do a heaps better job and I go to crows games and their's are just as bad. Just think some of the above things aren't that hard to rectify and would make for a much more professional presentation.

If you haven't noticed these things (unlikely) you probably will now and I apologise in advance B)

It urks me when he says "Jeronimooooooo", but other than that he's not too bad. Could definitely get a better person in, but he's improved heaps since being there. I didn't hear last nights but his post match interviews aren't too bad.

I've picked up on 'FAbio' too, but I'm sure it'll really get to me now that you've highlighted it lol :D

It really bugs me that he calls the players who sit on the bench "substitutions".

Haha yeah that's another.

He also used to say "3 minutes of extra time" though he's fixed that up after a couple of seasons. Maybe that's how long we have to wait for other improvements :)

That has been shitting me for years.

It is one off and one on = 1 substitution

Cannot stand the way he introduces Fabian Barbiero, you swear Barbs has played in World Cup's, EPL titles and the like with the way this idiot carries on.

I get he is a crowd favourite (less so nowadays) but surely he realises what a load of wank it sounds like when he's reading his name on the bench every week?

And does he have to give the score after every goal ??? Seriously we are all watching the game - we know what the score is !!! Just tell us the scorer's name just in case it was up the other end in a crowded goal mouth scramble !

Haha I couldn't believe it when it wasn't him this week :D

The new guy seems to be a fan at least (which is my criticism of the old guy).
