But in general, I like it when announcers are quiet after a goal is scored. Especially as opposed to the sort of Mexican-style histrionics which I've always particularly detested. Let the game speak for itself, show the the crowd and the celebration on the pitch and shut up for a few seconds, announcers: it's not about you.

That said, the fact that they only did it when the away team scored when there presumably was little crowd reaction is a bit odd, I agree.
