THE SBS "AHEM" COMMENTARY TEAM

[BrisRecky]

Craig Foster, David Basheer and all their tiny minded little mates clearly cant read team sheets..all the commentary team at SBS go out of their way to make themselves sound exotic while ultimately pronouncing players names wrong....if nothing else its a massive case of disrespect to the players..

EXAMPLE: from the pre-amble to today's final Fossie spits out ARYAN RAWBIN...f'n what!!!!...to make it plain..its "IRON ROBIN"...AND almost every time he mentioned Bert van marwijk's name  it came out Van Merwik, van marjweek OR Van Morewak

.i'm sure if someone constantly referred to him as CROG FESTER...he'd call his lawyer

I hope we can do better when Patrick Zwaanswijk arrives.
And no I'm not defending so-called professionals who should have made sure they got it right as part of their jobs. Especially some who've actually played the game in Europe, they should have been exposed to the various pronunciations.
Of course, we WILL do better, because we can ask him how he pronounces his name. I'm sure he'll be only too happy to tell us.

On top of that, I think I'll keep calling him Crog Fester - I think it fits.
