No one wanted silence once we saw the picture of Motty, the clapping started, which Andre Marriner obviously realised so the only reason to blow his whistle was for it to stop and the game get started.

You won't catch me in there. Although once the 3rd went in, they were trying to get Lansdown to bounce around. Which would have been worth the ticket price alone. Was in S22.

Tomo Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) Downsy had an horrendous night at the office....

ohhhshauntaylor Posted March 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 7 hours ago, RedLionLad said: That’s happened before. Total confusion It goes back to previously mentioned comments in this thread. He isn’t a football fan/follower- so there’s probably lots of things he simply doesn’t understand/know how to manage/communicate- things like the applause last night- a prime example As others mentioned- the “bigging up” of away teams/calling them by their nicknames is very amateurish. in the nicest possible way- he’s not very good at what he does. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 He's terrible. Luckily in the Dolman you can hardly hear him anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 I can’t help but think he should be doing all the competition stuff with kids and half time draw results etc but leave all the football stuff to someone that knows what they’re talking about.

Match them to the sheet in your hand and read the names. If you’re not sure which team it is, wait until someone moves. I’ve tried giving him a chance and seeing why he might still be in a job. I can just about take cringey stuff he does before the game and at half time but the fact of the matter is he’s got zero connection to the fans and this is not the first time he’s got subs/teams wrong. Time to move him on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC1512 Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) I was really annoyed Wells missed out on what should have been a deserved standing ovation off! Instead he read out the Man City subs whist he was walking off then He read out the Pring for JD sub again!!!

exAtyeoMax Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 He’s started saying “enter the field of play” when calling out the subs. Why can’t he say “replaced by…” or something its Ashton Gate, not Ashton Gate Stadium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulton Red Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 It’s not just why we think of him. From Blue Moon forum… “And, if it hasn't been mentioned, another stadium announcer who thinks it's all about him - still reading his narrative even though the silence/applause had long started, right through to when it finished!” 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's criticised quite heavily on there, but he needs to rise above this sort of thing. I remember some silly interaction he got sucked into a while back about meeting up in the club coffee shop.. and some inappropriate sexualised objectifying comment about the rugby team (which would've rightly caused uproar if said about the women's team). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2015 Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 Bring back Tim Shires. Imagine having a stadium announcer who doesn't know the player's names from the best team in the Country. Imagine shouting Ashton Gate make some noise - it's not a pop concert you helmet. 6 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selred Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 The Motson script, why not adapt. People were clapping, why they say it'll start on the referee's whistle. Need to adapt there. And then the announcements were a shambles. Surely he knew he already announced the subs before? I felt bad that Francios didn't get the announcement he deserved. Professional club, unprofessional announcer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed the person having a pop at him with “we can see your likes” was about him liking all the negative comments made regarding his performance and not the non-football related stuff.
