Port Said Red Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Personal favourite of mine wasn't actually sport related. It was back in the 80's regarding an IRA member being sent to jail for a bombing. It went something like. "Of course he may not serve the total of 320 years to which he has been sentenced, because Irish law allows for up 50% remission for good behaviour" :noexpression: But congratulation's to Adam, it does surprise me that Private Eye readers are listening to Radio Bristol though...........

edson Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 My favourite is also not sport related. It was on a radio show when someone was giving advice on what to feed birds and the immortal line was uttered: "Usually bluetits like bacon rinds and great tits like coconuts."

BristolScot Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Best one I know - Scotland v. Bulgaria radio commentary, early 80s. Commentator (David Francie) asks summariser (the great Denis Law, with drink taken), off mic, who's playing no. 10 for Bulgaria. Law gives him a slurred response. Francie says "And it's Vukdivanow on the ball now for Bulgaria"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolcitysweden Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 As old as the hills, and Cricket on top of that... but still makes I laugh: 'The bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey' - Johners I'll get my coat... During the World Championships in Sweden 1958 one of the radiocommentators was Rudolph "Putte" Kock. He was not used to players from other countries and diden't care to learn their names if they where to odd. In one of the teams this black guy had a very good first half. The problem was that Mr. Kock diden't know his name and referred to him by a word that slaves once where called each time he was in possession of the ball. Swedish BBC of course disliked this and called him at half time and said "Stop it. His name is etc." The line wasen't the best so to make sure the message got through the BBC man said; "Don't use the word N----er, I'm spelling; NIGEL - ISAC - GEOFF - GEOFF - ERIC - RICHARD". The second half started and the player was still called the same but suddenly Mr. Kock got all silent. Then he said; -They are saying from Stockholm that his name is Nigel Isac Geoff but I don't believe them! Who took my coat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
