Ian Stringer Q+A

[DennisNedry]

Strings is on £8,771, good effort.

[Haydos]

Missed this then! Good stuff again Ian, good work you're doing, well done to all those that donated as well.

[Stadt]

Same here but fantastic effort from everybody and Ian for answering oh and just running a marathon or something.

[Dan]

Stringer's given a top account of himself here. Will donate. Good luck with the run.

[Stadt]

It has shown that he doesn't know much more than we do though, obviously he'll know more about the current players on a personal level but a lot of what he said about the board and non-playing staff was his opinion.

Regardless, fair play Ian.

Promotion/Recognition for his commentary style here?

His commentary 'style' is nothing like what they usually have for reporters. Suspect it's probably convenience as much as anything 

[Heart-Shaped Fox]

For any RL listeners who don't know (probably all do as Stringer has broadcast it often enough) hes not doing the Wba or Swansea games as he's on holiday. 

 

Listening figures should go up for sure

Irritating character. Think Matty Elliott is under rated

[Mr Weller]

He's actually quite articulate, and certainly passionate about Leicester. People may not agree with everything he says and occasionally his enthusiasm leads him to say silly things e.g. he often finishes a statement of opinion with the phrase 'end of' as if to say no one is allowed to disagree, but I suspect the radio bosses think that it just shows he 'talks like a real fan and not a middle class journalist'.

 

On the whole though, he really is a fan and conveys excitement in his voice, and that's a lot better than many local radio presenters, so people are very unfair to keep criticising him.

[Fox92]

I like that he's a fan and gets excited, but he doesn't half as some stupid questions and then backs it up with "... I'm just asking what the fans want".

[Wymsey]

My respect for him had somewhat declined when he tried to indirectly wind Pearson up post-matches, as if he had no personal respect for him. He knew Pearson could say the wrong thing.

He may disagree on this but I'm not the only one with this opinion.

 

But when Ranieri was here, he softened his stance and that allowed Ranieri to answer questions effectively without awkwardness.

 

[shade]

thankfully haven’t had to hear anything from this guy since we got promoted to the premier league.

[baldeagle]

He’s dog s**t and full of self importance always looking to create a perfect sound bite 

[Tuna]

He's done five live commentary before, Derby or Forest games usually.

Thanks for that Ian
