LC/FC Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 This picture . 2 players wanting to kill each other. The other 2 just having a laugh. An Englishman, Irishman and Scottishman walk onto a football pitch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry_LCFC Posted 31 July 2014 Share Posted 31 July 2014 It was a pre-season game v Walsall ffs Why should that make his voice monotone and emotionless? That's just how he is. If Nugent scoring that beauty doesn't get you a little bit excited, not much will. He's not creating a good first impression when he needs to be.

reynard Posted 31 July 2014 Share Posted 31 July 2014 I've heard do it a few times before. Possibly the only man who makes Michael Owen sound interesting. Hopefully he will grow into the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakeyfox01 Posted 31 July 2014 Share Posted 31 July 2014 To be fair to him Stringer barely exhibits emotions in pre-season commentary. I'm sure he'll get a bit more 'pashun' like when games actually mean something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfcsnow Posted 2 August 2014 Share Posted 2 August 2014 Sounds like Dennis Taylor commenting on the snooker, without the wit. It doesn't help that he isn't a Leicester fan, and doesn't refer to us as 'we', etc that Muzzy, Walsh for example would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpTheLeagueFox Posted 2 August 2014 Share Posted 2 August 2014 It doesn't help that he isn't a Leicester fan, and doesn't refer to us as 'we', etc that Muzzy, Walsh for example would. What difference does it make if the commentator or summariser is or is not a fan? I want to hear professional commentary and incisive summaries - without all the pointless flim-flam - and it doesn't bother me who the commentator/summariser supports.

The fact that he isn't a Leicester fan means listeners might get a more fair description of the game and decisions rather than all the 'stone wall' penalties we should've had last season and the 'never a penalty' penalties against us.

That's all very well and good on something like 5live, but not being a fan of the club means that Taggart wont show the emotions that stringer does. To me it comes across as he couldn't give a flying filbert what happens. It needs to be a right balance between being impartial but also allowing showing passion, excitement and interest in the play, something that youngy and stringer achieved reasonably well. They managed it because they are as much of a fan as me and you and they actually care/d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's conveying some emotion and there's going stupidly OTT like a squealing banshee as some local radio commentators do - I want to hear professional broadcasting with a bit of passion. Shouldn't be too much to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
