BCFC11 Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 He may not be everyone’s cup of tea but let’s put LJ in front of Gregor McGregorface, he won’t pull any punches with the questions nor will he fall for the political BS he comes out with.

Shtanley Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I was waiting for him to say it and let out a little cheer when he did. Good way of wasting a few seconds whilst he’s reading the texts and tweets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get wound up when he says 'tweet me on twitter'. 'Tweet me' Geoff, that's all you need to say. Or go the whole hog and add 'phone me on the phone' and 'email me by email'.

Phileas Fogg Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 From a broadcasting and voice presentation point of view he does speak in a very strange way sometimes. Over/under emphasises certain words unnecessarily. Likes to use ‘indeed’ too - how many times in real life do you say ‘thank you very much INDEED’ - never! Put someone on the radio and they say it constantly! Apart from that’s I think he’s a great local journalist and does a very good job at being neutral despite Rovers connections. If anything I’d say he’s slightly biased towards us at times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of forget he was erstwhile a member of the hated moustache squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OddBallJim Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 The proof is in the pudding and the pudding in this case is a football. In all seriousness I think GT is a very good broadcaster, comfortable behind the microphone and not afraid to ask the tough questions.

Nothing but a Chris Morris wannabe with a tenth of the talent if that. One of the few `presenters` that I dislike so much I would rather turn the radio off than listen to his inane drivel, how the bloke keeps stealing a living is beyond me.

Says it when someone is getting to the end of their story, and he hasn't really been listening. Heard one guest finishing a story with something about their dad having died, for 20man to come in with Brilliant, Brilliant! oh, and 'great story, well told' Still find him quite listenable though, and he has done well being respected by both sets of fans.
