Does Matt Dean ever stop talking?
He does my head in with all his statistics, colour of the football, colour of the football boots.

According to Matt Dean, Jordan Davies has just collected a Notts County cross.

I rest my case.

flipping hell if you're moaning about Matt Dean getting a player's name wrong you can't have listened to Tondeur very much.

Would you prefer a mute commentator?

God forbid he'd try and paint a picture for fans relying on the radio

Matt’s an excellent commentator & a good interviewer.

To be fair I would prefer Jordan Davies in goal to Wright...

I used to really trust Tondeur’s judgement on games until covid and the words were put together with pictures and I (and a lot of others) were seeing a different game to what he was. That said, I don’t think there’s a commentator on any sport that I watch that I don’t find annoying in their own way.

He himself almost admitted as much in one of his retirement interviews, he realised it was time to go.
A radio commentator , as mentioned elsewhere above, needs to paint a picture, give the listener the vital info so they know who has the ball, what they are doing with it,  the position of play, pace of play and outside of that any details of promise or danger or details of a turnover.
"Half away" one of JT's favourites only filled you with anxiety.
