Ian 1,129 Posted February 23, 2021 There's no away commentary because Goreham can't travel to games and he is watching the stream like everybody else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,135 Posted February 23, 2021 Having to listen to away commentary some weeks really makes you appreciate Chris Goreham. I always had an inkling that he was pretty good based off of years of listening and the ease at how you could follow the game without seeing it, but now comparing him to every other local commentator he is a clear cut above. He's a very good, knowledgeable, fair and insightful commentator and for me matches aren't as good to watch on ifollow when opposition radio or Phil Daly is on instead 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greavsy 2,413 Posted February 23, 2021 Totally agree. Chris is great, and its really obvious when we endure others. Tonights was better than last weeks though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,534 Posted February 23, 2021 I switched on the home commentary for about 5 mins and regretted it. No commentary is the way forward 🙃 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, tonight's was alright other than the proclivity for moaning about our players getting kicked and hit in the face. If I ever hear the phrase Sky Blues again I think I might go a little bit insane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenerationA47 752 Posted February 23, 2021 I watched the no-commentary version on Ifollow. Now you mention it, it felt a bit like eating Smiths Salt n Shake.. and not adding the sachet! Seemingly all wrong but actually... nicer? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarydan23 4,060 Posted February 23, 2021 Tonight's was easily the best away commentary so far as it didn't make me want to rip my ears off. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they take time to grow into the role. Between tonights commentary and the Coventry one, I don't think I have ever heard the word "blue" quite so often.

I think they take time to grow into the role. Between tonights commentary and the Coventry one, I don't think I have ever heard the word "blue" quite so often. It will take time, which is why I don't begrudge Phil Daly getting games. He's not as good as Chris and he annoys me with how he lets the guests waffle on to much and doesn't stay with the game but Chris Goreham wasn't perfect in the early days either so he'll learn. I agree that the Brum commentators weren't that bad compared to most this year, but I'm yet to listen to one as good as our regular commentator. If I have to listen on the radio I want someone who can clearly articulate events and create excitement in their voice when things get interesting. I've never met Chris, I've never even called canary Call and I'm not a relative or anything btw but I'm a big fan of his work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crispeduk 282 Posted February 23, 2021 Yes he's a good pro who manages to show his love of the club while his detailed description of the the play allows the neutral to enjoy the day and opposition supporters to pick the bones out of it. Comparisons with most commentators around the country, including at national level, make this obvious. I've never met the guy either, but feel I know him - that's the broadcast test.

Graham Paddons Beard 2,431 Posted February 24, 2021 I’ve always been surprised that Chris Gorham hasn’t been poached by a national broadcaster . I think he is the best “local” commentator I’ve heard . With BT, Sky , Prime etc there are so many games now yet as far as I know he doesn’t get on any of these? I guess he is contracted solely to Radio Norfolk but a lot of these guys seem to work for various broadcasters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you tap the screen at the bottom there should be some icons appearing in the bottom right hand corner. Tap the cog and it gives the option of home or away commentary. Don’t forget that for the moment only the home commentary is used as the away commentators can’t travel to games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grumpy 122 Posted February 24, 2021 Yes slightly disappointing that there was no commentary,I certainly don't like watching in silence.Sorry to go off at a tangent but while we are on about TV commentators is there anyone more irritating and annoying than Martin Tyler.I b****y hate it when he is on.
