A few weeks ago I think I would have totally agreed with you, but despite his, er, eccentricities in his commentary, I'm beginning to warm to his 'style' (or lack thereof).
With continued exposure to his narrative, I am sure that - in time - it will all become as clear as day; and will...
John Barnes' comments after the game on ESPN about this incident made himself look a fool; he was clutching at straws trying to get something out of the game.
He has plummeted in my estimation.
I'm listening to the banal sh*te on BBC Sussex, and getting the red-hot poker glowing nicely, ready to shove up someone's jacksy should this be a wind-up.
