Radio sheffield match commentary

[s20Blade]

This season so far I've been listening to the radio sheffield commentary while closing my eyes and imagining the action

So far I've noticed apparently every one of our players has a low centre of gravity and a cruyff turn along with many other same catchphrases I can't quite remember at the moment


My main question is did the commentator do this every season or is it new for this season?

Radio commentary is still a thing?! must be 15 years ago I listened to a game on there!

This is first season they have not bothered with a proper show and commentators. Kevin Gage better than Radio Sheffield, probably not. It's another money saving enterprise not to have proper commentary.

I have seen the Leeds match day shows and it puts our effort to shame.

They do like saying Cruyff turn a lot tho don't they.

It's the sound option provided for dodgy stick subscribers

Last night just before Donovan scored the winner, Tyrese Campbell had a shot that trickled slowly against the post.

The commentator on radio Sheffield shouted, "AND CAMPBELL HITS THE BAR!".

He may have meant a local bar near Ewood Park.

speed he was running, he would have been lucky to make last orders.

I assumed that he meant Campbell had qualified as a barrister.

He doesn't have the beans.

Blackburn's defence certainly had him over a barrel.

That was Cannon's shot.

It’s Andy Giddings, he’s a really bad commentator. Adam Oxley and Rob Staton are far better at it (and actually seem to know who our players are for a start).

I don’t know half of our players tbh

Same here, go to the page https://www.sufc.co.uk/teams on the club website, click on a player image, the player stats page has been much improved this season.

Andy Giddings as a commentator should be in the 'what winds you up thread'.
He NEVER stops talking for a second. And more often than not it's irrelevant to what's happening on the pitch. He'll go and on about how many matches this player played for his last club. How tall this player is. How many touches so and so had in his last match. Where some player went on holiday. Ad infinitum. All this while play is going on. Boils my piss.

 

[Jon P]

This is funny, because it was such a piddly shot

 

[tyke1889]

It's a radio feed, they have to talk a lot so sometimes talk bollocks.

The problem is when you're watching a stream with the RS commentary over the top, you don't need all the extra crap.

I try to find the Sky+ feed wherever possible, not always great, but it's a dedicated TV commentary.

The Sky+ feed commentary last night was atrocious.

 

[Wards]

I don't think I've ever heard Giddings do a commentary where he hasn't said "stutter-step run up".

Every-fucking-game. And he's the only person I've ever really heard say it!

Shite.

 

[tyke1889]

The Sky+ feed commentary last night was atrocious.

Agreed, but it's better than having the constant drone of the RS feed.

 

[sufc323]

Makes me laugh when I watch back our highlights with Giddings commentating, as the pattern of play is nowhere near what's described in his commentary. Often they'll be a goal or major chance whilst he's mid ramble

 

[Bert]

The Sky+ feed commentary last night was atrocious.

At least it was unbiased, unlike the Swansea commentary.

Bert thought that we were playing the greatest team ever assembled.

I think he’s really good tbh

 

[SirNibletsO'Korne]

I'm going against the grain here,but I actually enjoy the RS commentary
Matt Kilgallon co hosting last night who wasn't brilliant but he was ok.
Prefer Carl Asaba though, but I'd miss it if it wasn't there.

 

[Cheets]

I thought Matt Kilgallon sounded very similar to Hecky, only without the "Listen"s.

But he doesn't wear a back-to-front cap, so that's one mini positive!

Were you getting that annoying background noise throughout it too? Or was it only me who could hear my wife.......

 

[Roygbiv]

Giddings loves saying "tries to give him the slip" and "the ball SCREAMS across the area". I enjoy his commentary

 

[metalblade]

Strangely I never get a stream with RS commentary, I have had to suffer Brummies, Jacks and dull Blackburn commentators so far, that is if there is any sound at all.

A goal against Norwich he's midway talking about the city centre or something Partridge-esque only to interrupt himself with "...And it's been turned in!". Someone more able than me will probably be able to find the clip, it's excellent.
