I don't envy anybody commentating on the trash that those players are dishing up. Perhaps we should let the opposition keeper do the commentary because he has very little else to do. The commentators seem to lack any knowledge of the game. The last thing we needed as a club was all kids.

I much prefer the podcast boys to the radio bristol crew.
They are getting the hang of commentary in the respect of describing whats actually happening on the pitch which they struggled with initially.
Ok so i do roll my eyes at a fair few comments and discussions they have . I put that down to them not having enough experience of football (down to purely their age group probably ) .
Used to enjoy the comments of jimmy Armfield during bbc commentary amongst several others

The whole ifollow thing is amateurish and I hope I never watch a Rovers game on there again, the only saving grace was when Manse or Byron were giving analysis. Rather have the Radio Bristol commentary I'd sooner it be amateurish than revert back to just listening to games on R Bristol or, worse it, waiting for the scores to update on Teletext! I would rather have watched this squad on Teletext!! |

Hi All,
Thanks for the feedback on the commentary (good and bad). Probably the worst season to give it a go considering what's been served up!
We know our style isn't for everyone, but as fans we aren't going to try and copy BBCRB, we'll do it our way.
Let's hope we've got a bit more to cheer about next season UTG

The thing that made me go "Wow" was they way they were talking about being back on the Thatchers End suggests they have been told that they won't be doing it next year. I thought they did the games they have done a good service. I agree with their comments about the team. I think we needed a crunching takler in the centre of defence. A player that could take control and lead the line. Would not be scared with putting his head on it (ball or player). Midfield was the same, a quality player who could organise the midfield and tackle hard. Upfront we had that when Rodman came back from injury but the service into the front men has been pretty shocking this season. You know that if Hanlan leaves he will be a 20 plus a season striker that the people who complained about him will complain that we got Rod of him! Injuries played a big impact in our relegation and also Covid. I don't think the team has properly recovered from our covid issue. It was interesting that Barton always talks about fitness and he used JCH as an example. JCH seemed to be able to deal with that as the season went on. Why didn't our players? The only thing I can think of is Covid.Back to the commentators. It's like comparing the official programme to a fanzine. I really liked the fact that they were Rovers fans commentating like a Rovers fan. You could feel their hurt when it went wrong. Craig was the perfect example rather than JCH, didn't he play more games in Europe(!) than anyone else of his age group which suggests fitness wasn't an issue last season, plus surely Garner with his Premiership/Championship coaching history could at least deal with pre-season training, plus does getting fit 9(?) months ago really affect players ability now, using Barton's logic any player who misses pre-season may as well right the whole season off as they'll never get fit for the rest of the season. Completely agree with this. Surely what better way to get match fit than playing two matches per week? Barton is a bit of an arrogant twat to be honest. He has been manager for 40% of our games and has the worse record of all four managers this season. Yet, he says its not his fault and that this relegation shouldn't go on his cv. Yes, I appreciate that he didn't get any transfer windows. Tisdale had one and brought in one player. However, Tisdales record can be argued as being better than Bartons. |

Over the whole season, and despite the awful performances, I have seen more Rovers games than in any other season since about 1975!! So I am very grateful to iplayer for enabling that. I have really enjoyed people like Byron and Rodman giving comments - that has been really interesting. Sometimes I get irritated by the commentators (usually because they miss something obvious like why a free kick is given), but they can't please all the people all the time - and to be honest if it ever gets really irritating you can always turn the sound off and enjoy the poetic football in silence!!

Some may also forget they do not have the benefit of replays of any kind, unlike Messrs Tyler & Neville surrounded by 6 screens or more & being treated to 5 replays of every single incident. These lads are merely calling it as they see it from their vantage point. |

However, Tisdales record can be argued as being better than Bartons. I've been saying this too, I think Barton will have only managed two fewer games than Tisdale, yet a lot of fans say he isn't to blame at all - seen some calling him "a legend", very weird and almost cultist behaviour. |

Personally I don’t care what our commentators sound like that much or whether our players are wearing white shorts or blue shorts I just want to see our players play with a bit of fire in their bellies, this seasons squad has been pathetic.

Let's hope we've got a bit more to cheer about next season UTG I don't remember which was your first game, but the week before I was on here berating the radio Bristol commentators. None of them ever seemed interested in the Gas and though Brookman's got his heart in the right place, I couldn't stand his birthday shoutouts. It's been a breath of fresh air hearing you guys doing the commentary, even though the football has been shocking! It's especially good when you're able to get a current or ex pro on for the game, Byron was great and Rodders so I hope you're able to pull some strings for next season too. Keep up the good work fellas! |
