Much was made during the matchday thread of the quality of the commentary provided by Radio Devon last saturday. I have to say it was particularly bad even for the likes of me watching the game via iFollow. It struck me that if the public at large were trying to follow the game with commentary only, they must have been wondering whether it was a football match that they'd tuned into, since the topics being discussed alternately were the commentators days at uni in Morecambe, and various other non City related topics! The entire buildup to one of Citys goals was totally missed!
I know two people on the matchday thread said they were contacting Radio Devon re: the commentary quality. The problem with doing that though is you're lumping Graham Kirk in by association, when he wasn't the problem. Unfortunately he could only go along with how the commentator steered things. Kirky didnt stand a chance, and he's my favorite for co-commentator for away games. I do like Andrew Barge for home matches. I'm not a fan of the ex City player who's name escapes me and certainly not a fan of Simon Larkins; He just doesnt have a radio voice.
Commentators I like are: John Ayres, Dave Richardson, Dave Saunders, and Richard Green, although I think the latter might no longer be available. Sohail Sahi is much better than he was in his "throw on" and "stockings" days, and I'd have taken him over last saturdays bloke. We just need to be sure we dont get last saturdays fella again!
