I guess with this thread we also have the answer why Alan Buckley retired from being co-commentator!

Sticking radio commentary over televised visuals was never going to marry up completely.

JT will always be "The voice of the Mariners" for me.

Coke and Matete made great, strong tackles and both of them were calling for yellows against them. Every time we give a free kick away its always, ooh that could be a yellow..

Thats my only criticism. I respect what JT does and has done over the years. Its a difficult job but to call for a change and in the manner its been done by BJ, is a bit strong.

Of all the other commentaries of Town games this season I think I have only really rated Cheltenham, but maybe thats because we won they were complimentary.

I like Tondeur
Says it as it is so of cause it's negative because that's the way it's been this season.
What do people want? Do they want him to jump up and down singing 'Town are going up'
Does get names wrong sometimes but don't all us old fornicators now and again.


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

What does it matter if he gets the odd name wrong , He is town and he is part of the club and has been for years  Good enough for me

I do find it interesting that JT is getting hammered for getting players wrong or mixed up, but when John Moore(?) or Roly do it on the old club footage, its seen as hilarious and their commentary is seen as absolute gold by many.

Obviously I don't know if it's the same people making these different views. But interesting/strange regardless.

i think a little self assessment by watching back would maybe prove useful, as a radio commentator you should be constantly painting a picture so your listener can be "there"......simple things like letting the listener know the position of play and whose in possession is not always clear so when someone does have a snap shot or " Penalty"  is uttered you at least half a clue who to/ against.

Identity mistakes happen and you can always correct that but that is a little detail when listening blind, where its happening is much more important to the listener.
