Why did the BBC stop doing the commentaries on ifollow? I know the 2 lads do the blog but they are not commentators .
I was also astounded at a couple of the remarks made today.
" I think most gasheads liked the idea of the club getting in young talent, developing it and sell them on".
" I dont think that there needs to many changes to the team, just one or two little tweaks"
Firstly they should be reporting on the game, not their own ideas. Secondly getting in lots of youngsters has relegated, finally we need more than a couple of tweaks.

I can't understand why we seem the only L1 club to have amateurs doing the commentary, when every other club seems to have a professional commentary team.

As the director of football said after the humiliation at Accrington: "We took to the field at Accrington Stanley with 950 plus starts in League One. They had 450."

Some people just like a moan 😅
Radio commentary is totally different than commentary for people watching the action. We don't need to be told someone has made a 5 yard pass.
I like that they offer opinions and discuss more than just what we can all see for ourselves.
As someone else replied, they're just offering their opinion - same as we all do on here.

If we all had the same opinions the world would be a boring place, you stick on the tele and every commentator of live sport has their own opinions that you may or may not agree with.
Today was quite a boring game in terms of action, so the commentators had a bit of time for some thoughts on how our season had gone, I enjoyed their take even if I might not agree with it all.
So if Max or any of the other Gascast lads are reading this, keep up the good work lads.

It’s a lot better than listening to the boring mundane commentary of Radio Bristol, but that’s not hard is it?

Nothing against the guy's commentating on ifollow, but they are pretty awful I understand it's not their profession Can't wait to not have to listen to their own life stories 😔

You must be gutted after your man assembled this awful squad 😉

it was pointed out to me by someone who listens on line that the commentators never describe the play- so you have no idea whether they are coming down the lift, the centre or how close they are to goal - all you hear is names being mentioned. The BBC commentators on Radio5 live describe the play in much more detail and only squeeze annecdotes in when play has stopped.

When I first started listening to them I thought the same as some but their style has grown on me. They don’t commentate in the normal way but I guess they’re not commentators and their way of talking about stuff more generally has grown on me. Mind you I never minded RB and the other commentators. I listen to a lot of local radio commentary on cricket and it’s fairly similar, a chatty, conversational way of doing it, full of personal views. Anyone who’s turned up at the ground, taken the time to set up all their stuff and then commentated on the rubbish we’ve produced all season gets my respect. Well done lads keep it up. Btw, I suspect had we been winning this season and we were celebrating a top half finish we wouldn’t even be talking about it, we’d be too happy talking about a real chance next season. As it is it’s just another thing to add to the list of s*** things and frustrating things this season. UTG!

I really like their commentary. A vast improvement on the Radio Bristol team when watching the match.

Yeah, it's obviously a podcast not a commentary, obviously. Yeah.

I would rather listen to the real fans comments on the team rather than than those radio Bristol twats droning on and wishing Doris from kingswood happy birthday every 5 mins . Don’t get me wrong I hope Doris has a wonderful day but I don’t want to hear about 🤣👍

I much prefer them than listening to the radio Briz attempts at commentary ,with the added insights of Keith Brookman { who sounds like a nice man } but is not good on the radio . Utg 💙

I like that they offer opinions and discuss more than just what we can all see for ourselves. As someone else replied, they're just offering their opinion - same as we all do on here. Agreed, and the comment about Radio versus TV commentary is absolutely right. You listen to Martin Tyler or Peter Drury or anyone on TV. Take the famous Aguero goal vs QPR: "City are still alive here, Balotelli, Agueroooooooooooo". Iconic commentary for those who watched it, but it wouldn't have worked on the radio. Basically the comment about them only mentioning the names of who is in possession has been made in complete ignorance of what pro sports commentary is. As a side point related to that, I have a lot of respect for radio commentators like Alan Green and John Murray on 5Live, as it must take a lot of skill to be able to describe a football match for the benefit of those who aren't watching it.
