Poor bloke.

He''s miles better than Nick Bowler (which isn''t hard). Would be nice if he could distinguish between Russell and Chris a bit more often for us though.

goreham gets more excited when the opposition score - that winds me up.

this guy sounds a professional sports commentator - big difference

Does anyone know if Radio Norfolk has a messageboard or if its possible to email any of the presenters?

What a great strike by Martin. Great play by Martin as well. Very well worked goal"

[quote user="glove1"]SO SO SO much better than goreham.[/quote]ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? HE''S AWFUL!He''s depressingly boring (worth saying he''s not quite as bad as that bloke that did Swindon away in the JPT), descriptions are vague, and he is utterly devoid of any emotion. He bloody leaves the audience clueless when he returns from updates on other fixtures as to who has the ball in possession (along the lines of "Oh and he brings the up to the box... And shoots... Oooh that wasn''t far wide from Lappin" well you could of bloody told us! I was just as much expecting Nicky Barnard to get one past us for 10 seconds there!). + His lack of build up of any real emotion doesn''t give a remotely detailed portrayal of the game (at least with Goreham, when the pressure was on and the side was approaching the box you could (to an extent) tell where the ball was, given the features of his voice and his willingness to give as much description as he could in the play).This guy is truly dreadful, and bad enough for me to cancel my world subscripton if he becomes a permanent fixture.(+ i could swear he''s a Southend fan. The despondance in his voice after the Shrimpers give the ball away does leave one to assume so)

Could be worse, we could have Doc Martin playing.

BBJ, No need to worry , he is very well thought of at 5 live.

Not good enough to commentate in League 1, but is for premier league.

Still I expect you know best.

Sadly, I''m listening on BBC Essex and they can''t even pronounce half our players'' names!

I think this guy is normally the commentator for Lowestoft Town FC.

[Glenn Foy 0]

this guy is shocking! He doesnt keep up with the game at all. he sort of shouts but you dont know who has shot/scored etc.

For example, for the disallowed goal I had no idea who had scored and it paniced me so much!

He rarely refers to the relevent team, and only occupies himself with the course of play. Very irritating.Having said that i felt he improved in the second half (though by no means was he lacking of flaws).

He is one of radio 5 commentators. I doubt he does Lowe Town.

[/quote] Blimey, is he a friend/relation of yours Angel??

I thought he was awful. The only time I knew where the ball was for certain was at the start of each half and when it was on the penalty spot!!!

lay off Goreham I had the advantage over U.K followers of watching City v Carlisle on T V live and at the same time taking Radio Norfolk Commentary via Canary World. The audio was slightly ahead of the action but the description

was spot on. I have wondered how accurate the commentators are but Goreham was much better than some of the drivel we get from T.V comentators.

I thoroughly enjoy listening to Goreham & Adams.

Never heard of him, got it by googling him. Plus I''m not stalking anyone, got over Hucks a long time ago and have moved on.
