初會黃興桂

上周六晚賽後節目錄映完畢,在朋友穿針引線下,首度與球壇奇人黃興桂兄碰上。
嘉豪絕少睇波,世界杯也僅看過決賽,講句實話,連黃興桂的旁述,也沒聽過幾多次,當然更無甚印象了,只是也道聽途說過那些「十二碼一係入、一係唔入。」、「門柱是守門員最佳朋友」獨門「金」句。
地點是桑拿內的休息室,大家談得份外「無牽無掛」,原來興桂兄經常星、港兩地走,幾乎每周都回來與家人朋友碰面,為ESPN工作以外,最佳娛樂便是越洋賭香港馬,還星、港彩池兩邊賭,擇賠率較高一邊落注。
勿以為興桂兄是個亂放厥詞的講波老,電視上直播著車路士的比賽,他能夠很快指出兩方對陣的部署,畢竟教練出身,懂得宏觀地看森林而非看樹木,新進的年輕旁述員,花十年八載也難培養這種火候,因為始終非紅褲子或經過認真訓練起步。
可惜香港傳媒從來不肯投資栽培人材,尤其評馬講波,根本只被視作兒戲範疇,但求人有我有,看 budget 遠比質素為緊,講得好聽是多給新人發展機會,說穿了不過是將貨就價,求其敷衍讀者或觀眾。

Mr. P 說...

Hello Tim:

I sometimes watch Mr. Peter Wong's commentaries on the Champions League. To me, 黃興桂 seems quite knowledgable on football formation, tactics, and even the culture behind them. His ability to recognize the flow of the game and even bring out the reasons behind is great. As for his jokes and "golden sayings", well, maybe he can be a more "refined" announcer, but I think he has established his own personal style, and that's more than enough for me.

Hong Kong needs more *knowledgable* announcers. Emphasis should be put more on knowledge rather than entertainment. It is the only way to maintain the quality of the media IN THE LONG RUN.

Does anyone know the email for ESPN Asia so that I can write a complaint. I have had enough with 黃興桂, he is the worst commentator ever IMO. He thinks we are all stupid and he knows football better than everyone. And please stop teaching us English, we want to watch football and not a lecture on English. Hence, we know their english names (It is on the back of their shirt). We are not kindergarden and ameture football fans to stay up early in the morning to listen to his poor commentating. My advice to him would be to watch NOW's commentators and learn how football should be commentated in the modern world. I respect him to have such a great job in doing what he enjoys but Please Please Please get updated, we are no longer kids learning English and football.
