We all need to laugh a LOT more than we do! Sport has been a great source of monumental missunderestimations (thanks GW) and they have been named Colemanballs in honour of the great BBC sports commentator David Coleman who came out with many a live comment on TV to make sides split in the 60's,70's & 80's. Maybe his best was in the final of the 1976 Olympic 400 metres when he said this about
Albero Juantorena:
"The big Cuban opened his legs and showed his class!"
There were many such quotes and others followed such as Brian Johnston commenting on cricket:
"The bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey."
and
"Ray Illingworth has just relieved himself at the pavilion end."
My all time favourite was Eddie Warring commenting on a Rugby game after a little "argy bargy" (a punch-up):
"They're all enemies on the field but all good friends in the showers!"
I've got to say, TG is a loooooooooong way off that level of misscommunication!
