As pre-meditated as they were his "observations" came of the back of hard work, he does a full match visualisation session before every game in much the same way race callers rehearse the call using a phantom race.
The likes of Taylor do not have that sort of work ethic or commitment, they think they did all the hard work during their playing careers and calling is some sort of right or entitlement.
I think that's right LP. Most of the ex-footballers calling games rely on their experiences rather than putting in the hard preparatory work that the likes of Cometti, McAvaney, Lane, Whately, Hansen and Underwood do.
