    Most memorable piece of commentary

    So sports fanatics, what line uttered by a commentator is permanently embedded onto your brain - no matter how hard you try to get rid of it. It can be something clever, sarcastic, stupid, inspirational - whatever tickles your fancy.

    Mine has to be:
    Simon Hill:"Aloisi, Cahill, CAHILLLLLL, Tim Cahill has done it again, What a goal by Tim Cahill, 2-1 Australia. Oh what a wonderful moment in Kaiserslautern."

    Honourable Mention:
    Dennis Cometti on Tony Liberatore: He went back into the pack optimistically, but came out looking misty optically.

    Last night, can't remember who it was:

    "..and that was a great tackle on Barry from the much smaller Dick."
    Also, Craig Foster after Aloisi slotted it home was awesome. He just went nuts.
    The one, the only CW Black
    Code:
    47.3 W Coppinger to Heads 
        Smacked the ball straight into the groin of Iwuajoku who has fallen over, 
        miraculously with the ball still caught in his scrotal area! Out!

    "Your boys took a hell of a beating...": mad Norwegian Bjørge Lillelien a bit pleased to beat England in 1981.

    "Dennis Bergkamp": great goals deserve great commentry. I love it that beating Argentina meant that much to him.

    "They think it's all over...": it is now, etc.

    "Jones! Bowden!": Benaud finds the mot juste.

    "Those three little words that mean so much": England lead Argentina, ftr.
    - As featured in The Independent.

    "This is not the time for namby-pamby promising youngsters who might just do something; not the time for building for the future. Pragmatism rules and they don't come more pragmatic than Rogers."
    - Victor Marks makes the case for stiff-legged and stiff-armed 35 year old left-handers in Ashes squads

    "And Tranmere Rovers have equalised against all the odds!" - when Ned slotted in our equaliser V Leicester @ Wembley

    "Who said this game was over? Not me!" - Andy Gray during Tranmere's fightback V Southampton (3-0 down at half-time, won 4-3) - he had said game over, or words to that effect when they went three up
    I'm just saying
    RIP Craigos. A true CW legend. You will be missed.

    "NICK DAVIS! NICK DAVIS! I DON'T BELIEVE IT! I SEE IT, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT"

    3:30 mins, and the commentary came from a Geelong supporter. Was awesome professionalism.

    Haha, was an epic scream.

    Wasn't commentary as much as cheer leading.

    I'll never forget the radio commentary when Tony Lockett kicked that point. Was insane.
