Football Commentator Sacked After Falling Asleep During Champions League Match B by olatade(m): 9:06pm On Nov 06, 2015
A football commentator has lost his job after a hilarious incident which saw him fall asleep and snore on live television while giving his thoughts on a UEFA Champions League group stage match this week.

Dong Lu, the veteran Chinese pundit, was acting as co-commentator for LeTV’s coverage of the Real Madrid versus Paris Saint-Germain match early Wednesday morning Beijing time, when he dozed off.

The 46-year-old had to stay up until 3:45am for kick-off at the Santiago Bernabeu, and fatigue got the better of him in the final 20 minutes.

In footage of the match from LeTV, Dong can be heard snoring at around the 79-minute mark, in an incident that had football fans across China chuckling.

However, his employers at LeTV did not take the incident lightly, as the man with 20 years of experience analysing football matches was fired from his post soon after.
