I haven't watched any of the footage but if this was said then this baw who was responsible should have been marched out the building.

Yeah, it just got some nervous laughter from Jesse May, at which point he repeated the punchline in case the joke's subtelty couldn't be fully understood on just one telling.

I was thinking this but then I thought maybe it's just me being sensitive.

I think Jesse May does a good job of what he's supposed to do. He isn't there to give expert analysis, but simply commentate on what's going on and add excitement to the game. As for the guest commentator, would much prefer someone like Neil Channing, James Keys, James Mitchell or Cos than Paul Marrow. Cos should get the gig next year imo, he gets mentioned on the live feed enough times!

[Karabiner]

The commentary has become totally inane in that three-way pot with two players allin.

[WarBwastard]

Paul Marrow: Surinder's calling all day long here

Irish fella: You think so?

Paul Marrow: Yeah don't you worry about that.

Paul Marrow: Oh, he's thrown them in.

Awkward silence

[mouth]

Paul Marrow is a top guy with a massive ability to laugh at and take the piss out of himself. He has a pretty dry sense of humour and I wouldn't have thought he would think he was offending anyone for a second with the karma line.

Think sometimes people on here need to look at bigger pictures. Paul gave an amazing speech about George Geary which received a massive round of applause, as it should. George's son's Keith and Paul, plus his wife and daughter were extremely touched and emotional about this. It came from the heart.

Makes me giggle at criticism from people who have never had to attempt to do live commentry - and are unlikely to ever be asked. Paul lives his life by his own rules - if you know him you'll understand that, and I personally admire that. He cares about his family and friends, but what a stranger thinks of his tongue in cheek commentary will be of zero interest to him.

Sometimes Blonde does a cracking impression of the Emperor's New Clothes.

good post imo

[redarmi]

Well Freerollin who is Asian has already admitted it offended him and I thought it was pretty close to the bone as it seems did others.  He may well be a top bloke and the stuff about George Geary was very admirable but you just can't poke fun at peoples race anymore.

I've no idea - and nor could I give a monkey's - but it seems to be all over the interwebs and I thought it was a bit funny.

Live feed seems to have got a bit laggy. Be nice to see Surinder win.

[cambridgealex]

It doesn't matter if he didn't mean to offend anyone, I'm sure he didn't. It's unacceptable to make that joke anywhere, but to say it as a commentator on a big event like this, on a live stream is absolutely outrageous imo
