Kirby Drinking game

I like Kirby. He's not as informative as the Harmon/Kelly duo (has Harmon retired?) but he is amusing and I appreciate that commentating can be difficult.

Harmon has been dropped by Eurosport.

Anyway, a new Kirbyism is 'Kudus'. Cadel Evans has been bumped in the heart of Carlton.

You need your head examining.

I am torn. Part of me cringes at his woeful gaffes but another part of me loves it because I can just imagine bikeradar forumers smashing their heads off their keyboards in frustration.

"and why not?"

Talks about his favourite rider whilst a different rider is doing something commentary worthy (i.e. making key break / winning the stage).

Laughs at own "joke".

Mentions how the scenery reminds him of Derbyshire. Down drink if the scenery actually more closely resembles a desert.

Is ignored/corrected by co-commentator.

In the final few km's "lighting it up" or when a group are up the road "breakers"

There's nothing like reasoned debate

I shout at him via my screen

Which is kind of ridiculous, however you look at it

two fingers if...

"(makes blatantly incorrect medical diagnosis of rider injury)"

Good muck up today. "And he'll be in pink at the end of today"...
Needless to say said rider would not be in pink. a) because there isn't a pink jersey for overall leader; b) because the rider wouldn't be the overall leader in any event; c) any jersey that the rider had would not be pink because there is NO PINK JERSEY available and d) because he's not commentating on the Giro, he's doing the sodding ToT!!!!

'In the pink' is an expression meaning 'doing well / being very healthy'.

It was a pre-prepared Kirby wordplay quip. He said "it's going to be the man in green who is in the pink by the end of the day".

Crankbrother

Even Carlton doesn't mess things up that badly ... Maybe we should start a petition to get mroll banned from the forum

mroli

Or get my ears syringed. He did say in THE pink. Maybe the blood had gone to my head because he had failed to note the big gap that had opened between 3 and 4 whilst he was concentrating on getting his pre-prepared quips in. Mind you, shows the lack of faith I have in him...!

Not sure what the race was be he said the other day...

"...and there is Bradley Wiggins, resplendent in his beard. Like Henry the 8th..."

Made me chuckle!

You should send that to Commentatorballs in Private eye, you'd probably get a tenner.

I think two fingers for when he says "there's such and such, can he do something today?"

It was Paris-Roubaix, it made me :roll:

Paul 8v

Blimey, I'm going to be trollied if I follow all these rules on the next race!

Richmond Racer

Do we have 'he could do a job today', or 'punches about his/their weight''?

Turfle

or "genting highlands genting highlands genting highlands genting highlands genting highlands genting highlands genting highlands "

argyllflyer

"putting the hurt down" I assume has been mentioned?

above_the_cows

Cor I might have to watch on Sporza if I'm going to have do to all this drinking. I like a drink mind you but as Paul says I'll be trollied.*

*Now there's a word that doesn't get used enough.
