RedM Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 Why does the announcer bloke really, and I mean really, really hype up Leroy Lita's name at the beginning of the match???? He shouts out 'LEEEEERRROOOOYYYYYY LLLLLLLLIIIITTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA' Can he be truely called a 'Fans Favourite'? If so just when was this decided??? I have nothing against Leroy but I thought it was well OTT today. It probably adds more pressure to him and if I was another player, eg Roberts, I wouldn't be too impressed. I know he has scored some important goals but why does his name seem to send the announcer into hyperdrive compared to say Coles? I can understand the announcer is trying to get the crowd going, whip up some atmosphere, but why Lita? Fair enough for Doc or Tinnion as they are long standing members of the team with important roles, but Lita? Maybe it just sounds nice. Another thing, why did the announcer today do the usual 'debut' thing, you know 'give a big hand for....' Smith and Orr today and not Heffernan? I was listening, he just read his name out, pretty poor I thought. I've no gripe with the announcer, it probably isn't an easy job to do with lots going on etc. BUT treat all the players the same, ie don't decide our heros for us,or don't bother! :@ Ah, thats better!

My point is Lita gets such a build up compared to some others, just for having a name that rolls off the tongue it seems. I want him to read all the names out in a similar fashion, or not. Now some are just rushed through whilst others have a big build up and then a pause for cheers and applause after. Maybe I'm just having a bad day and it doesn't matter as much as I think it does!

Johnny Casio Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 no don't worry about it but if you wach it is usually because leroy is at the bottom of the teamsheet so he has more time to say it i seem to remember when Leapy was at the end it was a dragged on name it's just how it is.

And you are the person who wants the subbers out of the Williams Stand? Trying to get the atmosphere improved a bit?

If he can do it for Leroy, he could do it for Robbo. :@ Announcer- "The Magician who took City to the Millennium!" ALL TOGETHER NOW - "ROBBO!, ROBBO!, ROBBO!" Good to see Tinman join in too. Tim Caple commentated brilliantly on Soccer Sunday when he scored - "CHRISTIAAANN ROBBBBERRRRRTTTTTS!" Hoping (against hope) for more of the same on Tuesday.
