LondonBristolian Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I don't have an issue with the commentators but I do think it is a reality check as to where we now are. Neutrals expect top six teams to comfortably beat us. I'd like us to prove them wrong and get to a point where people expect us to win games but I'm not going to hold it against the commentators for being honest about where we currently stand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coxy27 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Seemed desperate for us to get a red card for some reason. COD's early tackle described as "a naughty one" despite being a standard challenge you see every game, and he actually pulled out of it. Then wanted Scott sent off for again, just a fairly standard tackle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) Sky's commentators and pundits pretty much all do my head in, but for me Andy Hinchcliffe takes the biscuit. "As you can see, he's not offside" etc etc when half the time the ****** IS off. Sky, BT and BBC TV coverage all gets on my tits. Radio commentaries are far better if you can't be there, including R. Bristol's since Owers and Honor have been co-commentators. Luckily, I was there tonight as I am for all the home games. Really enjoyed it, so **** Sky and their big boys club.

ciderwithtommy Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 There was a passage in the second half where Stoke were on top, and Goodman said “this is much better” - then 6 seconds of silence before he says “for Stoke”. 100% odds on a producer was in his ear haha. That said, I don’t care - if anything I always have enjoyed supporting us v “the elite”. We are to a degree an unknown club to lots of pundits, we aren’t in a football hotspot like the NW or Midlands. They are, in the most part, as thick as whale omelettes. Long may it continue, a promotion (at some point in the future) would taste even sweeter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 The funniest bit was, as Kalas was preparing to take a long throw, Goodman saying something like "there's no getting away from it, Stoke are a better team and have better players than Bristol City" (admittedly not unfair based on the play to that point). 10 seconds later, Bakinson had the ball in the net. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie BCFC Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I remember when we had Blackburn at home last season. Despite winning 1-0, commentators were going on like we would be happy with a point at home against a team below us at the time. Said Blackburn were all over us despite the only chances they had were shots straight at Bentley and gave Harvey Elliott man of the match because he was a Liverpool player.

Supersonic Robin Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Think commentators can often get caught out by pre-game narratives. They come into a game thinking "Team X is good and Team Y is bad", or "Team X plays attractive passing football, and Team Y plays long ball", then commentate on the game in a way that suits that belief. We're likely all guilty of it at times, but commentators on the EFL can be some of the worst for it IMO. 3 hours ago, Mad Cyril said: At the end, I don't know which was most ridiculous.... referring to "Bristol" or discussing if we were now on for the play offs... And also worth remembering that many "professionals" talking about our games are pretty clueless, as illustrated above. As soon as someone refers to "Bristol" or "Sheffield" I almost immediately question their familiarity with EFL football. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Now today ahead of Sheff U v City; "If Sheffield win they'll climb to 13th in the table". The two teams are on equal points at the start of the game, so why not say "If either team wins, they'll climb to 13th". He's also mentioned several times that Sheff had a 1-0 win in mid week.
