Moreton Posted 5 August 2008 Posted 5 August 2008 I don't think he's been properly introduced to us at FT and i think he deserves his own thread so people can get to know him BBC Radio Leicester He sounds much better than Barber.
Thracian Posted 5 August 2008 Posted 5 August 2008 One of the Smurfs would be better than Barber but I agree. The bloke has got some enthusiasm for the job and for the club. He tries to paint a picture of what's going on and, from what's been said afterwards by people who attended a particular match, he seems to have been fairly successful. With Barber you might have got a weather bulletin but you knew next to sod-all about what was happening on the field and afterwards, listeners views often suggested they'd been tuned to a totally different match to those who went. It's a sad summary to say the thing I miss most about Barber was his gaffs, particularly those that were down to his apparent lack of research and I hope it's the last time we have a non-supporter as a commentator.
Lovejoy Posted 5 August 2008 Posted 5 August 2008 Yet another arrival from MK Dons . He was their radio man before coming here.

I put it down to ignorance. A lot of Barber's mistakes were basic knowledge. I haven't heard Stringer yet, I may listen to him at the match on Saturday. At least he's a fan, he'll know his stuff and have a passion for the team. Sitting next to Walshie will help as well. I can see extreme biased commentary
DonsFan Posted 5 August 2008 Posted 5 August 2008 Yet another arrival from MK Dons . He was their radio man before coming here. I wouldn't say that. He was totally biased against us, on the rare occasion we did feature on 3CR. Hopefully we can give him a nice welcome next Saturday.
Jay Posted 5 August 2008 Posted 5 August 2008 here he is from the Apprentice website thinking he is Zoolander I got him in the office Apprentice sweepstake and he was fecking useless in that
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 9 August 2008 Posted 9 August 2008 Sounded good very pleased.................i'lld still be better
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 9 August 2008 Posted 9 August 2008 Sounded good very pleased.................i'lld still be better Yeah, I thought him and John Sinclair (?) did a decent job. His excitable "Get on the motorway MK fans" sort of rant had me smiling.
Durnerz Posted 9 August 2008 Posted 9 August 2008 Definately a breath of fresh air after the fiasco that was Barbers 'commentary'. Listening to his interview with Nigel Pearson after the game he actually comes across very well and asks the kind of questions we want to know the answers to as oppose to Barbers 'ITV say it might rain next saturday on their forecast, will this affect your plans in any way?' type of bollocks. His commentary as well is quality
MPH Posted 9 August 2008 Posted 9 August 2008 Yet another arrival from MK Dons . He was their radio man before coming here. amongst other teams - three counties radio should give that away.
bluebeau Posted 9 August 2008 Posted 9 August 2008 Yeah, I thought him and John Sinclair (?) did a decent job. His excitable "Get on the motorway MK fans" sort of rant had me smiling. Thought the new fella did an OK commentary, maybe tried a bit too hard, needs to relax a bit, but for his 1st game I was pleased with him. Seems to have good knowlwdge of footie, perhaps he could give Matt Piper ( smashing lad ) a few lessons on commentary?
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 18 August 2008 Posted 18 August 2008 Another good call from him on Saturday was very impressed, really does so enthusiasm and a bit of passion and...............................actually comentates the game Also i got a shout out during the second half of the game which was quite funny, then today i got an email from him asking if i heard the shout out and thanking me for tuning in so far away. Just thought i would let you guys know as it shows that he actually must like doing it and wants to do well.

SOCCERROO FOX Posted 18 August 2008 Posted 18 August 2008 He's biased, but quite fun about it, he's better then barber anyway!! Of course but 99.9% of listeners would be city fans so he really has to be, but his actual calling of the play does seem impartial

I heard it and i wondered if it was anyone on here Because we have a few aussie members on here. Theres your fifteen minutes of fame
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 18 August 2008 Posted 18 August 2008 Really was that you. I heard it and i wondered if it was anyone on here Because we have a few aussie members on here. Theres your fifteen minutes of fame Was probably one of the only Saturday games i was sober while i was listening
morris1234 Posted 18 August 2008 Posted 18 August 2008 hes better than barber definately but yeah he sounds like he knows what hes on about and doesnt always talk about the weather in a metaphorical manner the stockport game though, he sounded like he may hav had a drink or two the night before he kept on getting names mixed up, at one point he said matty howard! but i like him! i didnt like the one he was with on saturday though, he was so un-biased it sounded like he wanted them to score !
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 18 August 2008 Posted 18 August 2008 He actually just read this thread 5 minutes ago, i think he will be pleased he didn't see your post Morris He is still learning but in his own words he has an awesome job and enjoys doing it, where with Barber it seemed like he didn't give a fat rats clacker
