I agree
Having listened to the red button guy tonight, I agree too.
They seem to have gotten significantly better as the season has progressed.
I agree, although I did laugh at the rugby analogy after 4 minutes. Might be a record for Ash to bring a comparison to another sport.
Much better than Sky you just feel its ours ,whereas Sky seem dont seem to have any depth of knowledge of us have love in with the other sides especially if there old famous sides like Forest or Derby,and we get replays.
The commentator is ok, the other guy is terrible (why does it need two of them?).
If you took a shot every time he mentions ‘the press’, you’d be drunk by half time. He constantly mentions it as if it shows he has a technical knowledge of the game.
He waffles on and on and talks, for talkings sake.
Everyone is ‘outstanding, including Flint on Saturday (who gave the goal away), and Pack tonight (who hit about three square balls all night and is a liability against any decent opposition).
Every tackle should be a free kick to us, and we should have three penalties a game.
He could put a glass eye, to sleep.
I wish there was a non commentary option with just the squad noise, or better still the fake crowd noise, like SKY.
I would listen to Radio Wales, but there’s a time delay
Thought the guy on Sky last night was dreadful.
I think the guys are great. They have gotten much better.
Some good insights and also a good history of the game / previous fixtures.
While they are not too critical of previous managers I like that they don't mind or hold back in pointing out the differences and improvements. Quite refreshing
City tv commentary is getting better. They did my head in at the beginning and any time a sub was made constantly going on about oh are they playing a 3 at the back or a 4 and will he slot into a mid field 3 etc etc, who give ****.
Agree, enjoy their commentary - nothing like that endless statistical drivel from the SKY bloke who co-hosts with Neville. Who are they ?Quote:

I like the main commentator but the other fella usually irritates me. He was better last night though and I thought the commentary was much improved. Better than that Sky/BT shit.
you really are a misery guts, everything's so negativeQuote:

I also think the CCTV commentators are very good. But would like slightly less chat between them and a little more commentary about what is happening at any particular moment. Retain the general chat to a large extent as it is like listening to mates talking about the City; but at the same time give us a little more clarity about what the team are doing throughout the game.
Wouldn’t want to spend a night at the pub with you. There is a non commentary option, the mute button!Quote:

Keep up the good work guys
Completely biased. Love it!
I’ve no complaints about them at all and the guy who does the under 23 matches is good as well, I’d also say they’ve had some interesting summarisers such as Greg Cunningham, Steve Morison and David Hughes on.
yes I enjoy the commentary for the U23s, and they seem really knowledgeable.Quote:

Not a huge fan of Steve Morison but I enjoyed the othersQuote:

Anyone know where they’re from? Trying to place their accents.
We moan about everything all our lives and then we die. It's a waste of energy when we whinge about such trivial matters.
On the other hand, I complained about the co-commentator sniffing a couple of weeks ago....
David Hughes has done 'color' commentary a few times and he gives good insight into the team/squad/culture. Also thought Cunningham was great when he was on. Maybe a job for Joe Bennet if he can get up the stairs?
Listen to these lads from Rotherham last night.

I could not imagine two worse commentators ever....ever!!
Right pair of Dungeons and Dragons types.
Absolute dirge!!
They are a bit raw but as you say, they are ours.Quote:

You know the ones that aren't very flattering, some true but some vastly exaggerated.
With these guys, we know what we are watching and if we agree with them or not, it doesn't seem as bad when they highlight our flaws.
I wasn't fussed on them initially but they are growing on me.
I have had to turn the sound down on occasion though :hehe:
I agree.Quote:

Mind you, when you see who they are, you’ll be very grateful!
Totally BA - I think they are talented commentators - some people disagree thoughQuote:
