It sounded like he'd had enough of all the novice crap his English colleague was churning out, and he'd left the commentary box and gone to the bar.

For all I know it was probably the Englishman's first week describing hockey games.

If they use him for the final it will be a disaster.
I feel your pain, dauls. You should hear some north americans trying to describe a football (soccer) game. In short, the commentary is usually a disaster.
