Why do you want non-biased commentators for NT games? If a Canadian is calling CMNT games i'm assuming they'll always have a slant. I get the desire for neutral commentators for club sports but I don't understand the desire for neutral commentators for NT matches.

Listen to him and you'll see what a 'homer' he is. Brutal colour commentator. When the World Cup is on, we get the 'world feed' commentators who are almost all british and when england, or scotland, wales, northern ireland are on, they are not biassed towards their 'home' nation. I find it makes the game more enjoyable.
Gamesmanship should not be a part of the game. Call it what you want. The dark arts, skullduggery. Not a good example to set for kids wanting to play the game.
I play myself and trying to trick the referee drives me nuts. In my old timers league, we get guys who are ahead with a minute to go and they drag out a throw in, kick the ball off the field deliberately into the parking lot etc, make a substitution painfully slow etc. Its' a fun/beer league and they are trying all of these time wasting activities. Its just so embarrassing.
