He hasn't really got a point when he's comparing female anchors to serial killers though, has he? Do you really think he genuinley thinks that? It's not a good way to make his point. If he thinks woman shouldn't be presenting men's football, that's his opinion, and he is capable of making it articulately and respectfully. Unfortunately he seems to have realised he'll get more attention by just being a prick, and is now just having a go at women for being women.

Driving through Blacon. Eurgh. Can’t believe people choose to live there Better driving than walking, especially down the wingies What’s the deal with this fabled Wingies place? Not familiar with it as a non-Blaconite, but I’ve heard people from other parts of Blacon talk about it as if it’s Mordor.

“There is a player in there somewhere” You wouldn't get an electrician to do work at your house if you were told, "there's an electrician in there somewhere!"

The recent trend of commentators to refer to a foot race. They're not racing on motorbikes are they, not even Norton.

Bugs me when commentators refer to a player as "the Swiss" or "the Portuguese" etc You wouldn't say "the English" or "the Irish". Sort it out.

Those are the correct demonyms for those countries. Same with "The Japanese". It's gramatically OK to refer to 'the Portuguese team', 'the Japanese team', 'the Swiss player', 'the Swiss defender', but I don't think it's correct to use them as a standalone to describe an individual. You can add 'man', thus Irishman but you'd never say 'the Irish' to describe an individual (i.e as a noun). You might argue, using 'the Norwegian' or 'the Belgian' is the same as 'the Japanese' but anything ending in 'an' has been shortened from the original 'Norwegian man' or woman (so that's fine!).

A person from Portugal is called "a Portuguese", from Japan "a Japanese", and from Switzerland "a Swiss". It does sound a bit odd that the nouns are the same as the adjectives, but the commentators are referring to them correctly.

OK I may have to accept that, not for the first time on here, I'm spouting bollox. Still sounds weird, mind! And I'm still not having "delicious" to describe a great cross🤣

The whole of the ball has to cross the line for a goal to be scored, yet the ball only partially crosses the line for a thrown in.
Corners, goal kicks, throw ins and free kicks not being taken from the correct spot
