Deucalion Posted 21 February 2014 Author Posted 21 February 2014 To be fair, on the other nights phone in Bourne was talking about the days of Kisnorbo with real knowledge. I think he is genuinely a Leicester fan. I think he's maybe tried to be too professional. Stringer always bangs on about how he's "not allowed" to be a fan now he's a commentator and I think Bourne has taken that a little too literally. He seems like a much nicer human being than Stringer and I think you can tell Young likes him more than Stringer who he quite clearly hates. Do you think so? I've not picked up on that, they seem like yampy mates. Personally, I think I'd rather get stuck in a lift with Bourne than Stringer, who can be over the top. But in an entertainment industry, over the top can be good. I also agree with whoever said Bourne did a better interview with Pearson. Pearson seemed more relaxed and there was none of the faux banter between the two.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 21 February 2014 Posted 21 February 2014 Jason can probably count the number of LCFC commentaries he's done on two hands. He's still learning his trade.Very truePerhaps this isn't the time to give Bourne an ultimatum. He needs to show his true identity before his supremacy shows through
Collymore Posted 21 February 2014 Posted 21 February 2014 Oh and Jason if you read this thread (we know you're a member) take the feedback on board and improve. Give it another shot!
Larry_LCFC Posted 21 February 2014 Posted 21 February 2014 I honestly hope Jason has read the feedback and puts it into practice tomorrow. He has the basics, just needs to show some fvckin pashunnn!
Guest Col city fan Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 I think its Stringer's daft little phrases that make him what he is. He comes out with some shite, yes, but he's passionate on the radio, has that banter going on with Young and I've warmed to him.
demon_dog Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 Stringer for me. No emotion from Jason. Didn't even know when we scored. Stringer would have been going manic when Mahrez put the ball away. Goooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal............................ We're Leicester City, we're top of the league!
CupidStunt Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 Jason should stick to what he does best, and thats making secret agent movies pls dont tell me his character isnt real?
Bert Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 Good luck to Jason today. He'll be doing his best.
Tuna Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 Was Bourne any better today? A little bit although at one point Ipswich had 2 keepers playing (Loach and Gerken) and we were also playing Reading but apart from that not too shabby.

DennisNedry Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 I was at the game today so didn't listen to commentary, but driving home BBCRL replayed the goal commentary, it sounded so forced from Bourne to desperately try and sound passionate
Langston Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 I enjoyed Bourne's commentary today, he's paid to describe the action not scream like an irritable child; unfair to level that criticism at him. Refreshing to know what was actually going on rather than what the ballboy's haircut looked like. Last Saturday in the office for a while though so I'll have to listen to neither for the foreseeable.
Matt Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 Come back Stringer all is forgiven! Is it me or does Jason Bourne sound like he's took a big intake of hellium?

Overall Stringer is by far a better commentator but this is from experience. However, like you mentioned, with Bourne you get to hear a lot commentary about the football and less pointless conversations with Youngy. And let's be honest it's nice to have a break from that, from time to time.

I also agree with whoever said Bourne did a better interview with Pearson. Pearson seemed more relaxed and there was none of the faux banter between the two. Young told me he's wanted to punch Stringer seconds before going on air. He can't stand the bloke.
Strokes Posted 23 February 2014 Posted 23 February 2014 I genuinely like Jason Bourne's commentary, he describes the play in a way that's easy to follow and doesn't get distracted halfway through. Stringer has irritated me since he came on the scene and I wish the change was permanent.
ADK Posted 23 February 2014 Posted 23 February 2014 It's funny but Bourne is getting lots of stick from FT and yet I've always preferred his commentary. I find Bourne describes the play where as Stringer uses inflection more. I find it more possible to visualise what is really happening with Bourne commentating.
Deucalion Posted 23 February 2014 Author Posted 23 February 2014 When I started the thread, I didn't intend or expect the flak for Bourne. Feel sorry for him now.
Deucalion Posted 23 February 2014 Author Posted 23 February 2014 I'm just amazed it's a 90-10 split. I got the impression people didn't like Stringer. While there are a few who don't, the majority seem to like him.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 23 February 2014 Posted 23 February 2014 The problem with Stringer is you don't get to hear much of what is actually going on in the game, at least with Bourne you get a better picture, he may not show his emotions so much but he does describe the game better.
shilton_fox Posted 23 February 2014 Posted 23 February 2014 Stringer hands down.. Only heard bournes commentary from the goals, on the way home from forest, and it was dreadful.. So little enthusiasm
