Yoko Ono moonlighting as an Icelandic football commentator

Co-commentator: Mark LawrensonI met Lawrenson last year and he’s a lovely man, so it genuinely pains me to be part of the chorus of voices calling for the poor sod to be put out of his misery. For some time now ‘Lawro’ has given the impression of someone who simply doesn’t like football anymore, or does like it but sees commentating as a really good way to audition for the role of sarcastic team captain on a BBC Two panel show. He’s now also slipped into making really bizarre remarks, such as suggesting the Sweden defender Andreas Granqvist “went down like custard” during their 1-1 draw with the Republic of Ireland. Seriously, let’s bring him home.Rating 3/10

I mean, if you're Irish, I guess.
i found this strange too. i was thinking it was a bit fancy and we needed that extra body in the jump zone (box).

i didn't see the Ireland match so maybe they were dummying in a totally different way? :P
― Ludo, Thursday, 23 June 2016 18:31 (eight years ago) link
