Sentences that didn't make it into the paper
A story about those guys who do Luganda commentary on British soccer matches:
- When listening to Katamba and Dumba do their commentaries, they will give enormous player profile and accurate information and statistics after a mere fowl committed, goal scored.
- Katamba attributes this to being in the soccer field for a while and the pre match preparation. They have a two-hour pre match preparation, of which this time I was part, to study the teams, players and their respective countries and the team couch.
- He’s giving the proceedings of the game on a touch-for-touch commentary. The main business is “Lampard gets the ball, gives it to Makelele, Makelele to Drogba. Oh no! Ferdinand intercepts. It’s now Paul Scholes, to Ronaldo, no he suits wide!”
