Not really a problem at all though, just an X and Y mix-up in the commentary line.

For instance "Free kick to Liverpool...Ronaldo was brought down by Torres.....yellow card for Ronaldo" for an event in which Torres was the player fouled against.

It's to do with obstruction. if Torres got the freekick for being obstructd by Ronaldo, the commentary states "Torres was clearly obstructing Ronaldo".

A common one is after a goal is scored, the players celebrate vaguely near a corner of the pitch (well within the markings) while the commentator tells us "The stewards struggle to hold them back!"

I always thought that referred to the supporters?

Im always curious when i get that random "He is you know..." from the commentary box.

I also love it when the ball trickles out of bounds and it says that "XYZ put that one into row Z"

This is the one that really annoys me, seems to come up every game as well.

When a player shoots and hits a teammate: player throws himself in front of the shot.
