One of my pet hates with commentators is when a team kicks let's say kicks five behinds, which were easy or very gettable goals.  A  commentator will then say something like, "If they kicked those goals they would be five goals ahead".  Absolute rubbish.  If the first behind was a goal then the ball goes back to the centre and the future then takes a different path.  

Anything BT does 

True. I was talking to a friend just today about the differences between a commentator from a media background and a commentator from a football background; the latter are getting more and more airtime and i believe they're lowering the professionalism of match calling.

At the end of the home and away season last year, Wayne Carey on Talking Footy showed the ladder and pointed out where Melbourne finished.  He said if Gawn kicked the goal after the siren against Geelong, the extra win would of allowed Melbourne to finish second on the ladder.  This is complete nonsense.

If Gawn kicks the goal, the future from that point onwards will take a different path.  Who knows, the win could of made the team over-confident and they lose the next few matches.  There's just too many variables.  It's a very simplistic way of looking at the things.
