brizzlelou Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Ive just seen that Colin Murray is the new host of the channel 5 EFL show. Great choice I think. Apologies if already mentioned but I've been in hospital all week and not really up to speed on everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with you, Murrays' show was a breath of fresh air on Talksport and it's gone down hill since he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 I liked his radio show , the music one. The Talksport one took time to grow on me, enjoyed it eventually and thought his stand was a good one. Just hope the League show is better than the last one, always recorded it and watched it fast forwarding the chat ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full of humour and banter, in with the proper fans, just like it should be rather than the sterile crap we normally get. His stand against Newscorp was admirable and no doubt cost him a lot of money. I wish him well in his latest adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotham Brow Red Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Personally think hes a breath of fresh air both on radio and telly. Think its because hes a genuine sport fan and not an ex sports pro retired going into media. Still the best Fighting Talk host for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never liked talksport but I did occasionally listen to him on there, it was a decent programme and I think he's a good presenter who made a bit of an effort to talk about minority sports as well. Haven't listened to talksport at all since the takeover. I don't really watch the C5 highlights often but hopefully having a good presenter will improve it anyway.

Like most plastics. I don't think you can call him a "plastic" he knows the club inside out and can go through games he has attended in great detail. I think a lot of irish people have to pick a mainland team as obviously there isn't one anymore local. If you like his work though, you should try his "At Home" podcast, he is a very good interviewer and the style of interview he adopts in it makes for something a cut above the general sports interview. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08pm9sl/episodes/downloads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree that he has to pick a mainland team. And if that were the case, why not Crewe or Tranmere perhaps. The same old clubs, the same old reasons.

Linsey used to be Danny Baker`s sidekick on his show that`s on before Fighting Talk. She left to do the C5 FL show last season and Louise Pepper took over.

Goes up in my estimation then being at that gig. Grey slacks or not! He grates and annoys me for some reason, never liked him on the wireless (or the tv) whichever station he's been on, BBC or talk sport. But most people like him so it's a 'me not him' scenario I guess. And fair play to him for his stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
