The reason I posed the question is because if nobody is recording the information posted in this thread then I thought it might be a good idea to start doing so.
I can set up a web page which enables people to enter things like who the commentators, pundits and presenters were for any given game and can make it churn out some code which will allow the individual to copy and paste the output into this thread. That way, the traditions of this thread can be maintained whilst keeping a record of things that interested parties can reference at any time.
If that all sounds too complicated and too much trouble, to me it couldn't be simpler. Maybe I'll set something up as an example and a trial run?

If anyone wants a read, then I will post some mid-season and end-of-season statistics with all the commentary details highlighted.”
Hehe, don't be ashamed! Is it just live game data you have been logging?
I have been building a website about the history of live football on TV and have logged details for many of this season's games myself. That's why the framework for what I suggested above already exists, and it would be great if you guys were interested in helping out. I think it is a site that will be right up all of you folks' street.
