Why do Radio Wales continue to employ him? He's a terrible summariser who can't be arsed pronouncing names correctly. Apparently Romario was playing at right wing-back for City last night :sherlock:

Jobs for the boys isn't it. In fairness some of the ex welsh players are decent enough but yeah Ratcliffe just sounds like a confused old bloke walking around asda in his slippers.

He's always been like it, it isn't an age thing. He's a bit thick. I find it amusing, I'd be more ****ed off if he started getting the names right.
The local radio commentators from the opposition are usually very good. I was listening to commentary from the Tees radio guys last night who are very passionate.
But very complimentary to us on many occasions.Quote:

As a tax payer , and I want my value for my money I want him sacked , how do we go about that , anyone up for an on line petition ????
What has being a taxpayer got to do with it?Quote:

Didn't he get Shrewsbury and,
Chester relegated
Who was commentating on the game last night from a Cardiff perspective? Cockney ex player, sounded like Darren Purse maybe ?
You're the gift that keeps giving. You are in no place to be critical of Kevin Ratcliffe..Scooby Doo makes more sense than you.Quote:

Who? Why? Even what team the person in potential trouble plays for would be a welcome clue, let alone where on the pitch it happened.
I don't mind him. He can be frustrating at times though for sure. Waffles on a bit and tends to get over-excited, but heard worse over the years.
I’ve been driving along shouting SAY COLWILL NOT COLWELL at the radio before now, Jesus how hard is it
The co-commentator on City TV last season didn't endear himself to me by constantly referring to American sports and would go on to refer to "Reuben Colwell".
They've binned him off now though, seemingly.
