Try switching to the away commentary every now and  then you might just appreciate JT a little more.

Quoted from Croxton
Stop feeding this Troll!  He reels you in times many. Like another episode of that Cornwall fishing programme.


Sorry Croxton but maybe for the first time I agree with Boris. JT’s commentary on the radio is bad enough, think a thread earlier in the season questioned whether he should be replaced, but with live tv he’s just not good enough. The time to be replaced comes to us all eventually and time for a fresh voice IMO.

Imagine if we got rid of all the negative fans. The Fishy would have about 12 hits a day and we'd struggle to take double figure away followings. Do people think it's JT's job to sugar coat Town's existence for us?

Easy to slate a guy that’s been doing radio commentary for years who has now been thrust into tv commentary all of a sudden.

It’s tough to listen to at times though, I don’t mind getting names wrong or whether it was a throw or not, I do mind hearing about the wind for 90 mins or that Barrow have won 30 seconds after we win ourselves.


He is still just a radio commentator, all IFollow do is take the BBC's radio commentary he has no idea what the TV picture is.

There's loads of games he hasn't done this season. Does anyone else think anyone else is better?

As others have said he is sat the other side of the ground from the camera looking from a completely different angle and doing radio commentary intended for people who can't see the game.

Perhaps there is a compromise and he could be sent "half away".

I like JT but he did have a bad night last night. On at least two occasions there was a break in commentary and when he “reappeared” he said the ref has given a free kick in a dangerous position but didn’t say who it was for!!
Is he doing the iFollow commentary as well? Dawned on me last night he might be doing radio commentary thinking everyone can see the game

I dont know if Tondeur is actually employed by the BBC or if he is freelance, but this is a service that is provided by BBC Humberside, the standards are not acceptable. he has to go, and go NOW!

We won... what can we moan about?

Erm... got it, 'The Commentator'!

Maybe try throwing some praise at somebody...

Heck, I'll even start: Jake Eastwood looked fairly solid last night in what were very difficult conditions.
