Snowflake Royal Have to say, I've been a critic of Ejaria's but my God we look devoid of creativity and ideas without him. He doesn't deliver many goals, but we create more and are more interesting to watch with him in.


Yeah, cool. To be fair though you are right in that a lot of the stuff he does, doesn't actually result in goals. It's a tough one, but yeah someone like him, even if 9/10 his trickery leads to nothing it much makes the game more fun as he can make something out of nothing, and at worst ties down half the opposition to keeping an eye on him.

Was pretty boring. Pele looked good but then got a bit scrappy in yhe second half. McIntyre was my MOTM. Looked completely ready to start 46 games next season.

Thought Huddersfield made it hard for us to build any form of constant attack. They though, never looked like scoring either. If only we had some electric pace in the team to stretch a game the longer it goes on.

Seems that the Cowley Bros were very vocal throughout and a handful of referee decisions seem to be influenced by them.

traff "Dim Teller excruciating commentary"
I think you are being too kind. Has only one agenda which is his own inane opinion.
Was cautioned several times last night for my language and 90% aimed at him.


With the odd exception I have never previously listened to Dim commenting on a televised match.He is with I Follow being found out big time.To be kind is it because he is giving a radio commentary?Dont know really but it is bad.He is prattling on about hedgehogs (last night ) or his morning runs,when key moments in the game are enfolding in front of him.Very strange.I have always been very happy with Mick on the radio,but even some of his commentary is out of place ,when watching the game on I Follow.Pre the restart ,do they use the radio commentary on I Follow?

I believe they've always used the Dim commentary on iFollow. When I've listened to BBCRB games in the past it's just sounded like he doesn't really know what he's talking about, when you can see the action with your own eyes it just proves that point. And as for his insistence on not calling Pele Pele, well that's just pathetic

Nice to see more people finally seeing what an absolute shambles he is.

Hopefully this period will be the end of his job commentating on us.

He's a top man, and I won't have a bad word said about him.

The first seaaon of Ifollow you could not listen to commentary and watch at the same time. Ever since the second season of Ifollow that has been an option. One of my biggest takeaways is the disservice radio listeners are being done.

Tim frequently say "player X couldn't get on the end of it" which is too open to interpretation. He says it when a pass goes behind a player, he says it when and opposition defender does a good job blocking the player, he says it too often basically and, to me, it has a negative insinuation to the player who didnt get on the end of it even when it isnt their fault.

The talking about sparrow hawks or whatever when we are about to take a corner is fairly normal from him.

He is a Reading legend and a national treasure.

oxf*rd off Tim.

The word legend has now been devalued beyond all meaning.

He’s never been a proper football commentator in my eyes. He would be better off as a cricket commentator. Gooding is average. Whilst Ady Williams name dropping and Partridge radio style presentation is irritating he does know his stuff and says stuff about the team that makes sense.

Ady would be fine if he wasn't more interested in Newbury races and intent on shit stirring the whole time. A man who understand his gammon social media audience though.

Dellor just doesn't have a clue.

Dellor

For anyone except Puscas the cross is too high or whatever. But in Puscas’’ case it’ always Puscas failed to Jump or Puscas could’ve done better (etc)

Problem with bias like that is it gets multiplied by the Twitterati and a player becomes a scapegoat

Dellor undermines players, makes their resale value less etc

Agreed. Jnr said exactly this in his commentary of Puscas last night.

And certain players he likes can do no wrong. Good cross from Gunter there, but no one was on the end of it. Er... he overhit it by about 20 yards Dim.

Yeah, mentioned his agenda against and for certain players in another thread. Radio listeners are listening to a completely different game.

I said player X above but 100% was thinking of Puscas. He can do no right in the eyes of Tim.

Last night a square pass from Obita? went behind Puscas and Tim said he couldn't get on the end of it. Later a cross from Obita that was well over his head ilicited "but Puscas didn't jump for it".

Tiresome.

My favourite bit last night was when he suggested he did 10k in 46 minutes yesterday morning without having a drink.

yep. it was, until it quickly became my least favourite bit when he started wittering on for 10 mins about running to the Thames barrier after the Charlton game. Then i wanted to throw something at the screen
