I felt he lost his footballing mojo a bit when Kitson left. It's been good to hear him get excited about Reading on the radio again.

Maguire Pleased for Tim - I know he gets a bit of stick and some of it is deserved but the bloke absolutely loves RFC and is, IMHO, a key part of the experience of being a Reading fan (media wise at least)

Hope he enjoyed last night



Royal Lady ^ agreed with Mags!

I hold him in part, accountable for us getting McD - so for that I will always be grateful to him! :wink:

Proper fan, proper emotion - love him!


Agreed with both points! Pushing Rodgers to the breaking point ushered in the McDermott era. Well done Tim!

I am a massive fan of Tim. I love how excited he gets. Tim if you are reading this, top top job this season.

Love
Just about all Reading fans abroad.

Some people moan about Tim's passionate (alright slightly biaised as well!) commentary. But if they want neutral and dead, listen to a different station not the club's local radio station.

As far as I'm concerned it's great to hear that passion and listening to his highlights after games brings the memories and excitement flooding back. That's particularly the case with games like the away leg of the Cardiff playoff game last season (who can ever forget how he greeted Shane Long's goal?) and yesterday's clinching of promotion against Forest.

Keep up the good work Tim - and Mick, you do a great job as the counter-balance/straight man/voice of reason. e.g. Tim talking of the PL next season and you pointing out that there is still 11 minutes to go!

+1 for the Dellor camp. I don't get to hear him too often as I'm usually at games but as stated above he clearly comes across as a fan. People need to get over his accent. So, he's posh? Really? I'd rather have Dellor articulating in his "plummy" voice than listening to some illiterate tongue tied scrote trying to describe the action to me. He's local, he's a fan. What's not to like about the bloke?

Mick Gooding is another gem.

I'd also rather listen to Dellor, who at least has some idea what he's talking about, than the risible "Peachy". Really, feck off. You've no idea what you're on about when it comes to football. Let's have Nikki Whiteman on talking about what Jason Roberts has in his washbag. Oh... he doesn't have one. Great radio that! Washbag.. btw... wtf?

Love to hear from you Peachy!

Clearly BBC Berkshire programming needs more input from RL. The only woman that knows everything about RFC.

Gonna delete this one too love?

As I've said before, I love The Dellor.

He's like welcoming a silly Uncle into your lounge. His enthusiasm draws you in like you are watching the game.

And I don’t understand the criticism of his bias –
IT’S READING LOCAL RADIO, YOU F.KING REACH-AROUND.

Exactly, I want totally biased Reading point of view cencentration with perhaps grudging admiration for the oppo if they really are that good.

If the team are serving up Watford or Stevebage-esque performances then I want him getting upset and telling us how bad it is

If I want something conciliatory then I would go to national radio where that is expected.

Cant beat a bit of Tim 'n' Mick hearing Kevin dillion for West Ham updates on tuesday night showed how lucky we are to have that double act! Dillon always sounds like he would rather be somewhere else when i hear him....

Must be some other busybody then. No anger from me m8, Just like to have a little dig at you and your doppelganger from the Nags every now and again. One of you knows everything about RFC and the other knows everything. Thanks for the chin up quote. Sums you up really.

not sure what this bitch-fest has anything to do with Tim Dellor.............nevertheless, Para you should be honoured to have been engaged in such a scintilating encounter with the lady oh so royal.

Really looking forward to hearing Tim & Mick on BBC Berks next season...and none of those traitorous Jonny (cum lately) Saunders types who gatecrashed the BBC (locally and nationally) during our last sojourn in the Prem.....then dropped us like a stone

Back over to you Woodcote.

Still no idea what you're on about - feel free to PM me to explain.

Anyway, I've always supported Tim - glad a few more have come around to my way of thinking!

You can add me too RL.

I was never really a fan of Dellor's commentaries (Cardiff playoff 2nd leg aside) but in the last 2 months of the season to me he sounded better than ever.

Loved the Rodgers interviews as well...

Absolutely praying when Liverpool come down that we have "Dellor & Rodgers - The Reunion". So good they should put them on CD, a bit like the Ricky Gervais thing

If only we hadn't played Swansea 3 times in one season after Rodgers left, eh?

I like his voice, and his commentary is pretty decent as far as local radio stations go.

His punditry/journalistic 'prowess' however are dreadful. I loved his article about how McDermott is absolutely 100% dead on guaranteed to leave for Wolves, even though it was never going to happen in a million years. Dellor comes across an alright guy, he just knows absolutely sod all about football.
