Tondeur is the voice of GTFC whenever he’s off duty for whatever reason the commentary is excrement, you’ve only got to think back to the Compass FM days to realise how good we have it. No he has to stay for me best commentator since Roly Godfrey.

How old is John Tonduer anyway? Could he decide himself to call it a day one day.

I’m not sure I’ve ever heard him say anything truly engaging to be honest.

Mr Tondeur has celebrated 16 or 17 birthdays on his birthday if that helps

That would make him 64 or 68 then!

I assume he was born on 29th April!

Of all the things we have to complain about.......John Tondeur would be far from the top of my list! Proper town fan, ok he might make a mistake now and then but I don't know why it would bother people so much. Hope he carries on for many more years.

It’s rude to ask a football commentator their age 😌

Quoted from Boris Johnson
Last night was appalling, again not able to recognise players, ridiculous awareness of positional play, time for change.


Does he go?

I think he’s more likely to go inside here to Hoban who hits it...

Ethereal, atmospheric, and cinematic, are just some of the words that Icelandic dream rockers Sigur Rós used to describe John Tondeur’s commentary when supporting him at Wembley in May 2016.

Quoted from Boris Johnson



his commentary is not of a required standard he is lazy, and does not have  enough knowledge. He has plenty of time to do research, and he does not do it. Whatever he is earning for a living, its tantamount to theft.  Out and Out Now!


94th minute

Knackered

Riddled with nerves and the pain of play-off finals past

JT spits out the sort of alliterative weapons that make him Lincolnshire’s Barry Davies....

“Town want a free kick, they don’t get it but they’ve got the ball to Nolan”

Sounds simple but the staccato rhythm of his delivery could grace any rap album.

Even Sir Alan agrees he is in the presence of greatness...

Don’t you mean February? We have a 29th April every year.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
