| LAWRO How long has Mark Lawrensen been in the chair? As long as we can remember and that is far too long. Lawrenseno is old and tired now. His efforts to be enthusiastic about a subject on which he was once enthusiastic sound like just that; efforts. Big efforts, and it really is time the poor old boy was given a regular spot on Songs of Praise. But what keeps Lawrensono’s pacemaker ticking. Why, those fantastic quips. ON GARY SPEED’S OVERHEAD KICK Wait till you see this from Gary Speed. Acrobatics and he is 48! ON CZECH REPUBLIC GOING 3-0 UP AGAINST DENMARK EURO 2004 You’d better take Peter Schmeichel’s belt and shoelaces off him before things get any worse. ON THE REFEREE ‘CELEBRATING’ WITH PORTSMOUTH PLAYER I think he had a spread bet. A spread for 2-1. AFTER A FOUL ON MATHEW ETHERINGTON It was more ‘take aim’ than Benayoun AND THE INFAMOUS That’s a half-pound of bacon shot. Commentator: Huh? Lean back! No more Lawrenseno. Too dull. |
