The Five Live commentator (Alan Green for this specific example)

said, as I was switching on the radio in the second half "That's the fourth clear dive by Joe Cole this match". So it's not *all* the BBC.

By no means should this post be taken as an endorsement of Alan Green's commentary. I can't stand the sneering opinionated t**t. The thing that annoys me most about his commentary (apart from his opinion, which I don't want) is his habit of talking to the players as if he knows them: "No, Thierry, that isn't going to work, you're a better player than that."
