Such a terrible commentator. His over-pronunciation of foreign names, his repetition of completely useless statistics, his monotone articulation...

How did he get a job in television?

Yeah he used to be on SBS. He's a pretty good analyst but a terrible commentator.

Yea bring back Tommy Smyth with a 'Y'. He's the best!
 
TBH I'd rather listen to Orsatti, because at least he knows what he's talking about!

maybe Haynaldo put in a good word for him,

most aussie commentators seem to go into  a complete lather when they hit a 'latin' name


talking of Haynaldo, did you hear about his other family members

Traynaldo - works as a waiter
Greynaldo - older brother - getting on a bit now
Draynaldo - solid defender but lacks a bit of pace


(appalling, i know, but i've been resisting the urge for about 3 weeks )

That's how you pronounce his name, though..

Most people don't do it for any other 'R' name though so why bother with his.

In the semi-first leg, they seemed to go back to pronouncing it "Raynaldo"

more consistency might be good

"Haynaldo slips the ball through for Hobbie Kruse"

I think that other commentator with no hair is worse? can't remember his name AND Robbie Slater hates the phoenix, he doesn't rate us at all. We will stick it to him next year hopefully!
