E.G.Red Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 Agree. Nice balance between banter and keeping up with what was happening on the pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 I thought she was largely good. If she happened to be reading this for some constructive comments then I felt she could have used players names more instead of Norwich this , Norwich that 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's learnt her trade covering Yeovil and now she's got the chance to cover a City game. Suspect she will be back to Yeovil on Saturday, but I think she took her opportunity well, and I would listen to her covering a City game again (whereas some commentators I'd gladly turn off - which is OK on TV as you can watch without sound, but a bit difficult if you are listening on the radio) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 Don't see what the problem is, she reports regularly on Radio Somerset's Yeovil games. Not keen myself.....she really squeaks when someone scores, that's all . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin_unreliant Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 I found it hard to follow the play from her commentary on RB. My pet hate - she didn't tell us which way teams were kicking. Maybe in a minority here but I like to picture it in my head. Also found she went quiet quite often and I had no idea what was happening. Not great imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Tottle was one of the worst culprits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norn Iron Posted August 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 As a former radio presenter and training officer specialising in interview techniques (and now podcaster) what I liked was how Sheridan seemed more measured and relaxed in her commentary style. Like we would all be in our first few months of commentating, Sheridan has lost that high treble excitedness and relied instead of using decent words to paint the action on the pitch. She clearly demonstrated to me that she loves the game and knew her stuff about our players (and theirs). Sheridan also kept her opinions to a minimum as opposed to others who think they've played at the highest level and know more about the game than say Gary Owers. If you're reading this Sheridan, well done. Hope to hear you again soon when BCFC are playing. 15 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreedyHarry Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 Thought she did a decent job. Less excitable than when she covers Yeovil and explained what was happening pretty well. Minor criticism could be that there needs to give more names of players with the ball and where they are on the pitch but it is minor and there are far far worse than her that have covered City. Finally, thought she connected with Gary Owers really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t_b Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) She was on Radio 5 Saturday covering the Southampton game - or at least the updates that get piped in to Chappers - so clearly she wasn’t on last night for just local radio “box ticking” and is regarded within BBC Sport. No issue with her being used on commentary or summaries for us or anyone else. Sometimes people just take a side for other reasons than actual spoken content… Edited August 30, 2023 by t_b Clarity 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
