The BBC as an organisation is on its backside with other priorites instead of quality content. It has long been a gravy train for overpaid executives, quota filling employees and a few vastly overpaid celebrity type presenters.

Think JT did the commentary for Radio Berkshire when we played Slough in the replay. One might imagine a few Slough fans thinking he might be a bit biased and the quality a touch below par It's not too long ago when we were watching the teleprinter at 4:45 to find out what the score was on away days so I'm not getting too upset about the commentator being average. It was FGR v Grimsby for goodness sake, not England v Germany

I felt a bit sorry for him in the end, he must’ve known he was cocking the whole thing up. He didn’t seem to have a bloody clue though, JT cocks things up often like never knowing if it’s a corner/free kick/penalty but this guy couldn’t even get players names right.
The icing on the cake being him saying it was much better wearing this kit as he could see players names, god forbid if we’d worn black & white, he’d have been complementing Kevin Donovan on his 2 goals.

I was watching the video of the match at the same time as listening to the commentary so I can support what someone else said about the commentator mixing up players' names. I can only assume he just didn't know the Town team very well. He said Rogers gave away the penalty when it was clearly Maher, he mentioned Green in the second half when he had been substituted at half time, and he confused Rose and Pyke at least twice in the first half. On the other hand, the commentary was matched to the pictures with no time lag, as has happened at times in the past, his voice was fine, and he did at least get some of it right, so there's that. To be fair, live match commentary for radio is something that most people would find very difficult, so I'm not casting too many stones here.

The good news was RH provided a service. The bad news was the bottom of the barrel was empty, so they looked underneath it and found somebody doing nothing with no information about Town.

In JTs defence, the view from the Main Stand press box is poor. There are two seats in there where you have a clear, unobstructed view of both goals. It's relatively low down too, which doesn't lend itself well to reporting on events in real-time.

I’ve done a bit of commentating over the years and it’s a little more difficult to get right than you think. You need to speak coherently in and accurately in an instant, and that’s not easy to do when you’re trying your best to familiarise yourself with the players. It’s likely the guy didn’t know he was covering until quite late on.
I didn’t think he was bad. Understandably, he wasn’t seamless with identifying the right players. The only gripe I had was that he’d talk through a passage of play for quite a while without naming any names, and I’d have no idea whether we were on the front foot or the back foot. I’d be getting excited by his excitement and then he’d say Cartwright made a great save!

I like Alex Rodman as a summariser, he speaks well and is knowledgeable

They should get a couple of then fans to do the commentary.. give them free access. Saves money and that'd be brilliant to listen to especially when we score
