Manuuuuu manuu was o for awesome lol
Maaaaanuuuuu maaaaaaaaaaaanuuuuuuuuuuuu
sorry Fek... i agree with you most of the time...I agree with Lego Man's comments in the main forum. This try-hard stuff is nonsense, particularly on Mateo. I get what he's trying to do, which is cool, but I would have thought the first golden rule on commentary would be to find out how the player pronounces his name, and out of respect, follow it. Mateo doesn't pronounce it like a transient gimp.
Observations after one viewing:
Don't mind him
way better than McIvor
I think the 'try hard' calls are uncalled for. Everyone thinks Rabs is a dick for being a meathead and not even attempting to pronounce the island names correctly yet now people are slamming Husband for doing the opposite?
Maybe thats how Mateo pronounces his name, how do 'we' know?
It pings me off no end where people try to put their own slant on pronouncing my name... I imagine it'd be slightly infuriating on a professional level. Irrespective of how so called tradition has it, it really is a matter for how the player and his/her family wish the name to be pronounced as.
The rest of his call on the weekend seemed fairly decent. Better than that myth Costigan... amazed they kept shelling out to fly him backwards and forth across the Tasman.
McIvors a Bulldogs fan? Do you mean Halligan?
You sure??
i understand where your coming from... but if your professional you will call it how its supposed to be called.
any other way will be just confusing... what happens if another couple of Mateo's come through he system and they each pronounce there names differently....
i would actually suggest that it would be ignorant, unprofessional and just plain culturally insensitive if you knowingly mispronounce someones name.
I agree. Do you know how Mateo likes his name pronounced?You pronouce someones name how they want it pronounced, its their name.
Of course only one person came up with "Martel".
yes. and theres a couple of dickheads who are hanging on to it..:lol:
Better this than being a delusional prick who pretty everyone here regards as a troll. :roll:
I think its supposed to be maa-teh-o where the general public say muh-tay-oh. Of course only one person came up with "Martel".
