Super bloopers
BBC Radio's Rob Nothman has got together a collection of his favourite howlers - many of which happened live on air.

The 12th in the series sees Miles Harrison become the victim of 'commentator's mouth' as he speaks to former British Lion Andy Irvine.

Commentator's mouth

A commentator is always wary of that nasty disease called "commentator's mouth".

It often occurs immediately after the commentator has offered an opinion.

As if to chide the victim for being so presumptuous, the disease ensures that exactly the opposite happens.

There are few better examples than this piece of rugby commentary. The former British Lion Andy Irvine can afford a chuckle as the unfortunate Miles Harrison becomes the latest casualty of commentator's mouth.
