AKCJ Posted 24 November 2012 Posted 24 November 2012 Stringer: "You almost got sentimental with me there" NP: "Absolutely no chance"
Nick Posted 24 November 2012 Posted 24 November 2012 I've been an advocate of Stringer since he started. I am though after listening to alternative commentary for a couple of weeks wanting him to go back to basics and do his job. I want to know what is going on the pitch - I expect him to have learnt the names and formations of the opposition and I want to know what is happening as its happening. Unfortunately I think he's got lazy and chats quite a lot of crap with Alan recently.
Richard Posted 24 November 2012 Posted 24 November 2012 I like him but Marshall's goal was a prime example of how bad his commentary is. We didn't know that Marshall had the ball or that he'd shot... Hell I didn't even know if we had the ball or not then all of a sudden it's GOAL!

Spudulike Posted 24 November 2012 Posted 24 November 2012 You can't knock his passion though and he's the best one we've had in my time listening to RL.
Boarbarian Posted 24 November 2012 Posted 24 November 2012 He's blocked me on Twitter so not his biggest fan. He was after Pearson a bit at start of season. It's great to have a proper LCFC fan on the commentary but I do think he misses things and is deliberately too controversial sometimes
Kitchandro Posted 24 November 2012 Posted 24 November 2012 I think Stringer would be a very good TV commentator, but I don't think he's suited to radio. Last week Jason Bourne painted a much better picture of what was going on on the pitch, he was professional and didn't spend too much time rambling about other things. This is something you can do if you're on TV and your audience isnt relying on you to explain what's happening. Stringer's got passion, his knowledge of the game is decent and he's good with words, but he is frustrating when you want to know what's going on.
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 24 November 2012 Posted 24 November 2012 Agreed with Kitchandro. I like Stringer's enthusiasm but I got a much better idea of what waa actually happening when Bourne took the reigns last weekend. Also, with Stringer getting really excitable every time we get half-way down the pitch, it's sort of like the boy who cried wolf. And then, like with Marshall's goal today, I had no idea we were on the attack - I think he was talking about his croutons
