leepeacock's50phead Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I can only assume there is a deal between City and the BBC to provide the co-commentator for the radio coverage but I'm not particularly impressed by his analysis and he obviously has his hands somewhat tied in what he says due to his job. If the BBC don't wish to pay for an 'expert' to fill the role, why not give fans a chance? I can't see the quality of analysis much poorer and at least they would be able to give their honest opinions on the game without having to put a spin on it because of there employer. I'm sure there would be plenty of volunteers for the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful what you wish for - it could be 90 minutes of that idiot from Stockwood (it is Stockwood isn't it?) or any other number of morons.

Kala Taro Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I would give it to Dolly. Yes, yes but what about the commentator's job? Please don't be too critical of any one,it may cost you your employment There are dark forces at work, and can I put record there is no competion between me any other person. Eh? The Phoenix rises, illuminated by the dawn of the 16th Century, the bell tolls from 12 minutes past 8 precisely and the child catcher is in the rye awaiting the morning star? Is that what you mean?

Big Red Rich Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 can I put record there is no competion between me any other person. Can I ask what this means please? It doesn't seem to make any sense. I don't listen to RB commentary very often but when I do Adam seems to do a decent job. Not sure what the fuss is about?

Nibor Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Always thought Adam did a good job on the radio too. Ex players as pundits never impress and if the phone in is anything to go by I don't want a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After years of practice I'm pretty good at decrypting your posts, usually, but I don't...

havanatopia Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I don't understand why we can't just have an ex player like they used to have on there. Baker's knowledge of Football is no better than the average fans. Most players spent all their time at school perfecting the beautiful game and not studying the finer detail of the English language. Scotty was a great player for City, for example, but he is a useless co-commentator. Few footballers turn to punditry for a very good reason.

Gillies Downs Leeds Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Don't know if it was just me, but listened on radio Bristol last night and i thought the commentator had great delight in us losing. Got very excited at both Gills goals and was almost trying to wind Adam Baker up with some of his comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there would be plenty of volunteers for the role. Because the trouble with having a fan doing it over someone who is used to being on the radio or speaking to the media is that you can't guarantee that halfway through the second half that fan's passion doesn't get the better of them and they start calling the referee (or Woeful) a useless ******* ****!!! Far more unrestrained passion on the terraces compared to in the press box! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie_Turner Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I think every city fan would love to give it to dolly! Why ? I wouldn't - as for calling for individual fans to be the spearhead on the radio because they're known or popular is ridiculous , in fact people like those in my opinion often have a swell of support regardless of what they say or do simply because they're seen as popular by the majority !
