Rupal Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Every time my team is leading 1-0 at half time I seem to get the comment that 'Surely the second half can only get better'. I know that my team is very bad - East Stirlingshire who are totally dire but occasionally they haven't been quite as awful as usual and the match has looked OK. It's irritating!

IbrahimAliMaher Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Maybe the commentator supports your local rivals? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsoluteGenius Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 It is probably a reference to the entertainment value e.g. it's like watching your local pub team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cris182 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 The match will look ok to you because you are winning, but to a neutral it may be awful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DE4life Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I get this a lot, even if the game's been fairly good... guess FM has higher standards than me It also irritates me when the commentary states "GET IN!!" when your opponent scores... way to rub it in, especially if you're already beginning to think the AI is cheating... it's like a slap in the face Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DE4life Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Just makes me fume even more, specially if its a last minute winner for the opposition... the last thing I need to read on the screen, from the game itself, supposedly an impartial medium, is "GET IN!!" It amuses me outside of the game, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuboy Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Yeah I get the "second. half can only get better" a lot to, gets annoying. Also in the match reports.. "It wasn't a game for the purists" is always in there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It amuses me outside of the game, mind. I know, that makes you scream. I'm like.... NO, DONT GET IN. GET WIDE OF THE POST!!!! I just assume Andy Gray is commentating.

CaptainPlanet Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I've had 45 minutes that included 7 missed clear cut chances, a missed penalty and a sending off, and I got the commentator comment saying "it's been a drab match so far" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgreenio Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 who cares, at the end of the day you're a small club and aren't going to be able to play the fashionable expansive flowing football, i'll be happy scraping every game 1-0 (apart from fan days where all out attacking is my preferred tactic) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

el sid Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 "XXX look good value for their lead" at 2-0 at half time and then you go on to lose 2-3 when the AI switches to the 4-2-4. How irritating is that ?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
