Angmering Red Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Really enjoyed listening to him today, obviously due to being Academy Manager he was able to provide great background info, particularly on the young players, need to get him on more often.

BRISTOL86 Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 I thought he was decent. Much better commentary than the end of last season IMO. At times it seemed as though the audio was maybe just a fraction of a second ahead of the video, noticed a couple of times something like ‘out for a corner’ just a half second or so before the commentator would have been in a position to say that if it was 100% in sync with the video feed.

Red Exile Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 I was impressed with him. Made sensible observations, wasn't afraid to acknowledge that things weren't always working, gave insights into the development of the younger players.

1960maaan Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Hmmm interesting, I hated it. Too often talked over moves and even when there were chances. It's bad enough with no crowds, it feels fake. But with the continued conversation it just felt like I was watching a soap or TV highlights.

I thought he was good last season on comms, but wasn’t used enough as the 3rd commentator. Better when he’s the 2nd commentator. A bit safe in some of his comments, but I get why.

Lrrr Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 3 minutes ago, markcarter said: Totally agree. Often there was no comment about a key passage of play because they were blathering on about something else. Watch the match first and fill in any gaps. I could understand for an audio pass, but if you're watching the game why do you need what's on the screen described for you? Because in reality that's generally all that commentators do rather than dig into too much tactical detail a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even worse, our second was announced as the ‘winner’ with 10 minutes to go...talk about tempting fate. Then, obviously a disciple of Roger Malone, started summing up the game with minutes left as to why Coventry would be disappointed with the result!

I actually thought Gary Probert was really insightful throughout. But yeah that 'winning goal' comment had me screaming at the telly and so nervous for the last ten minutes. What the actual **** was that guy thinking?! and is he not familiar with the term 'commentator's curse'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
