Let's try and devise a Carlton Kirby drinking game

I'll propose a couple of rules to start.

Turbo Durbo - take a drink
G - take a drink
Defends Sky - take drink
Dan Martin is 'in the house' - two drinks
Anyone else is 'in the house' - drink
Tipping Simon Clarke to win - finish your drink.

    “There you go”

    Chat about perfectly fine tarmac and how difficult the surface is.

    Gets corrected by co-commentator.

    Misses an attack.

    Calls someone moving up in the group an attack.

    I like to drink responsibly and listening to Carlton is bad for your health.

    After a few seconds of silence he seems to always come up with:

    "So, then, time to go....but where?"

    Which is completely meaningless but he delivers it like it's incredibly poignant.

    That's the mother load for me. You should down a pint.

    'Citadel' seems to be the featured on his word-of-the-day-toiletpaper recently.

    Mention of the barriers on a corner being dangerous.

    Segues from one nonsense statement into another that's barely related in a stream of utter drivel. Take a drink for every segue.

    Whenever a rider appears, always blindly assume they are the one rider from a team who's name he knows. And then insisting on keeping up with it despite correction from co-commentator.

    Ranting about motorbikes getting too close. Despite working in TV he doesn’t understand the concept of a zoom lens.

    One sip for every rider he tips as a possible winner. Two sips when he suggest that if so and so was riding it would be a day for them.

    Other ......... are available (snigger snigger) must be worth a drink.


    Having a go at people filming the action on their phone / device may be worth a full pint.

    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    "As you can see" must be his most repeated phrase. It's relentless.

    Followed by his instance on repeating the distance to go every hundred metres.

    Drink up on those and you'll be on your way to The Priory clinic faster than you can say "Kirby is a buffoon and an appalling commentator who ruins cycling TV coverage"

    If you threw in every time Rob Hatch rolled an "R" (e.g. Gorka Isaguirre) then you would be mullered !!

    (I love Rob btw!)

    It's a good filter. The kind of nobbers who you don't want to be associated with are the kind who get upset at correct pronunciation, so it's a win all round.

    I was about to post about his new favourite rider: friggin' 'Lennie' Kamna while watching the TTT and what do you know?
    He's just said he's "waiting on friggin 'Lennie' Kamna." "Here's Lennie!" :lol:

    The site is having yet another meltdown. The Froome thread had gone to 100 pages and is back at 99, I was looking at a 5 page thread yesterday and went to go from page 4 to 5 only to find it had gone to 3 page tabs and I have to keep logging back in. Maybe we've been to critical of the Russians!

    yeah the Milan-San Remo PTP thread keeps disappearing as well. If I don't win that this year this could be why

    Yes, probably a good thing. I was getting flashbacks.

    One of his favourite words, particularly in the latter stages of a race, is "brave".

    We lost:

    "unzipped and ready for action"

    so I will add it once more...!

    another favourite is starting sentences with 'I have to tell you' usually after coming back from an ad-break e.g. "Welcome back and I have to tell you that the breakaway has been caught..."

    no, you don't have to tell us anything.

    a shot...
