I don't need commentators to tell me what's going on the pitch...I can see for myself. With radio it's different. Can't stand over excited about commentators. Would much rather listen to Pearce. I used to like Peter Allis! You’re right about them being comforting. I’m sure if the game was more exciting and City was more exciting, it would’ve been even better.

I find the best way of managing upwards is to tell them when they make a mistake, most people in senior management positions are sprinting all day and don't have time to figure out where the problems are so rely on being told - they can then make a decision about what they want to do about it. That kind of relationship is very important and it takes great character in the senior management position that's willing to accept when they make mistakes. If they turn into an omnipotent dictator type or aren't open to change then it's not going to end well for anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Hunt-Hertz Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 I know that he is City, through and through, but they were both getting on my tits. But that was probably a function of the dire offering on the pitch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one positive is that they avoided referring to us as ‘Bristol’ by the simple expedient of not referring to us at all. Literally. The female commentator did have a wobbly moment to be fair; Bristol.... Have a slurp of tea.. City...argghhhh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 I thought he was brilliant. Die hard City fan and some great insider views for people who don't know his history. Balanced as well with the Sheff Utd players he was reeling off and Tony Currie was a top player in his day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Just remembered. With about five minutes to go, Pearce stated “is there still life in this for Bristol City”. I’m betting that was intentional, and he was dying to follow in with “in by Towler...” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constantly rambling about random things Sorry I know JP is City through and through but I also thought the pair of them were awful as well. Even my missus who knows the square root of f all about football commented "were these two for real"Bet the likes of Downsy, Trego and Gilmartin loved it - talking just for the sake of talking and talking mostly crap. The linesmen wearing gloves when its -3 has taken the game to the dogs BUT the VAR decision was totally justified. One example in my opinion of them getting it totally wrong.

Nogbad the Bad Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Enjoy Pearce's references to City every time he commentates - never leaves the viewer in any doubt which club he supports - even though I sometimes feel he gets a few details wrong. Did I hear 'Taylor Moore went off to try his luck in French football', or similar, last night? Well, no, he grew up in France! What with JP growing up in the gantry filming matches with his Dad (iirc.) then going to Radio Bristol (started by commentating on Rovers games I believe) and on to London for his commentary career, both of which would naturally have impacted on his ability to regularly watch City games, plus living in Sussex, I do wonder how much he's watched City live since the '70's - the period he so often refers to. He's a great advocate for BCFC, with a boyhood history at a club he clearly loves, but how often has he had a ST, if ever? Put me right somebody - it won't have been easy with his career but has he often been seen down AG over the decades, standing in the EE or sitting in the stands as a paying supporter?

Phileas Fogg Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 I liked him. He’s got more of a ‘test match special’ old school style of commentary which is quite unique. If I was a Sheffield United fan I’d have probably found it quite irritating though. The co-commentator was ok. Wasn’t sure they had that much broad knowledge about either side - she only seemed to reference Billy Sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 JP started his broadcasting career at RB and that’s why he’s a City fan. His first commentary was Rovers v Exeter so that must why he opted to support City...................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
