brady bunch Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 I don’t like to slag off Downse….. but boy is tonight’s presenter an upgrade on all fronts! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellist Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Well, she did keep calling the match a 'face off' and referred to Steve Torpay. But I guess that's not what you were referring to! Haven't watched Robins TV before, what's downsy usually like? Did enjoy seeing highlights from a 'classic match' that wasn't recent. But that might only be because we don't beat them very often. I seem to recall a 5-2 home win under pulis? Akinbiyi scored shortly before he left? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cellist Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Summariser is pretty good, knowledgeable - talking about the under 18s/21s a lot so I guess he is one of the youth coaches. They do talk a bit too much though. Don't need to fill all the silence on a televised game unlike radio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 This Presenter is more confident at half-time. Bodes well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engvall’s Splinter Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 I wouldn’t say she’s polished. Bit awkward. Challis is very good on the co-comms. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can just admit you prefer to perve on her... She seems to forget how to speak halfway through a sentence and sort of blurts something out that doesn't really make sense. I'm sure she'll get a bit more confident the more games she does. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZepperin Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Louise did well. Must have been nervous about her first gig as main presenter. Downsy is usually very good, in a "Smashie and Nicey" way. Trevor Challis was excellent and correctly predicted the score. A good night on Robins TV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Challis excellent summariser. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiltsred14 Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 I like Challis, he clearly has a good insight into the squad and like how he referenced a footballing identity being mirrored through the youth team an into the senior team. That bodes well for us in years to come. Not a critique of any summarisers, but I do wonder if they can be truly honest about what they see in matches as they’re employed by the club. When things are going right, it’s easy to be spot on if you know your stuff. However, when things aren’t going right, I hate it when the commentary doesn’t reflect what is happening on the pitch. Wonder if there’s scope for ex city players/employees to offer a more objective view alongside current employees like Challis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
