| WYCOMBE'S NUMBER ONE FANZINE RETURNS ON THE NET... | |
Mind you, at least it's not a cup match otherwise we'd be subjected to his insufferable histrionics when we score. "The first goalscorer, for Wycombe Wanderers, making FA Cup history, the first ever Wycombe player to score Wycombe's first ever goal in this round of the FA Cup, making Wanderers' history, the scorer of the Blues' first goal, in this round of the cup..." Christ's chin! Just bloody announce it will you. We all know it's Wanderers' history, we queued up to buy our tickets, we're sat here watching, we're not bloody stupid. Does this tit not realise that to ham it up like this is dangerous? The soccer gods frown on this sort of optimism. It's just tempting fate to scream like that, it's far safer to just announce the goal and leave the rest to fate.  As if that wasn't bad enough his half-time performance at the Wimbledon match was enough to make me wish Billy Bonqua would appear and sing a song on the pitch (as he did against Macclesfield a few years ago)! As the teams came out for the second half he went into overdrive screaming "This is it, this is Wycombe Wanderers' history, your team is making history, whatever happens you can be proud of them, making history in the cup...." Was he implying that at 2-0 down the match was over and we didn't have a prayer? Personally I'm glad he constantly reminded me of the fact it was Wanderer's history otherwise I would have forgotten. Watching us get through all those previous rounds, that banner on Crendon Street, Football Focus, The Bucks Free Press, South East news, none of them had driven the point home to me. I needed some self-worshipping failed school-disco DJ to remind me what I was doing here.Now we are in the Semi Finals the man has got even worse. We're one nil down at home to Rotherham, Jamie Bates is lining up a Ronald Koeman toe punt free kick and what does our man on the PA do? He starts advertising the new home shirt with details of how to buy it on line! I don't care if the club have told him to do this, if he carries on making stupid announcements during play someone's going to break into his booth and stuff his microphone up his arse. However, it isn't at just the cup and televised games that the DJ offends me. I hardly need to even mention the man's music "taste". I know we can't all like the same music but he seems to have united everyone by finding music we all hate! As for his "local radio DJ" voice, what's that all about? Extending the length of every third vowel does not add gravity to your voice. It just makes everyone think you've got some sort of weird speech impediment. Possibly his most irritating aspect is the churlish way he announces opposition goalscorers. I don't expect him to be jumping up and down when the Blues concede but the way he begrudgingly mumbles the name of the goalscorer is positively childish, not to mention unsporting. I've seen some stunning goals scored against Wycombe and every time they have been followed by the most muted of announcements. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he actually supported Manchester United (without ever having been to Old Trafford obviously). I just wish the man would realise we go to Adams Park to watch the football, not to listen to him. Maybe then Saturday afternoons down the football would be a lot more bearable and I wouldn't be such an arsey bastard all the time! Back to TAF April/May 2001 Index >>> |
