When a commentator makes mistakes, I forgive. When they are over-excited, I'm amused.
What bugs me is dishonesty. When a commentator deliberately misleads in an attempt to preserve the commentators own authority, that infuriates me. Be upfront about what you know and don't know. I admire that.
When the commentator shows a headstrong lack of knowledge of the sport, that aggravates me. A commentator should make an attempt to be informed on the sport in which he seeks to commentate on. I haven't listened to Allen in years but I don't ever remember him falling into either category for all his faults. Can't say that of some other commentators.
