I once made that error to doing a match report for an u7 team. I sent it round to all the parents describing how a young lad released a fierce rising sh*t that the keeper could only parry in to his own net.
Can't recall who was on co comms but the game earlier this season when the ref got injured and Phil and his on air partner (apologies to who it was) started the game "can you name 300 Wycombe players" to fill the air time. C!asked and a hilarious and something we tried to do the next home game fuelled by IPA in The vere.
I recall @bluntphil describing one opposition forward as having "a right foot like a biscuit tin"; have always enjoyed his delight when describing a perfectly weighted cross/pass for a goal as a "buffet ball".
Didn't hear it live but I believe one pre-season friendly Phil was asked to commentate whilst not disclosing the names of the trialists involved (at least ten of whom were the starting eleven with more on the bench) so assigned all the players Sopranos character names.
Also one of the best has to be Henning When's expert skewering of MK.
The strike partnership of Paulie Walnuts and Silvio Dante was pretty fearsome.
I remember getting a message from a listener who’d tuned in after kick off, missed the explainer and was really excited at the prospect of an influx of Italian signings.

I remember that one, I was walking through a park up north somewhere with the kids. I think one of them had kicked the ISDN line out in excitement.

That last sentence trumps @Kim_il_Swan in the obscurity stakes.
Sounds like it could have been @Jonny_King on co~comms.
Presumably the Wigan away game, so might have been Tim Peach who I believe is based in the north west (like all the best Wycombe fans.)
Well, it was clearly a waning gibbous
@micra No that wasn’t me. Was it Wigan where there was a lengthy delay due to a ref injury?

Today’s snack chat has been top notch.
Also todays description of Kone as being "like a rat up a drainpipe" when he scored had Jack Grimmer in stitches...
That was pure Phil - he is a genius and a one off.
Well done @bluntphil we are so lucky to have you as one of us.
I don’t have any commentary moments to add but I do need to emphasise that this is most definitely the case

Yes I remember now it was Wigan away.
Also for clasked(?) read classic. Sausage fingers or maybe too much ipa.
