tomski Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Sad stuff but I probably haven’t listened for 20 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted August 8, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2022 Me neither really. I don't watch MOTD either though. Seems the older I get the less interested in listening to the results at a set time. I've all night, and so many opportunities to find out the results.

paulhanley Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Think this is poor. I appreciate people get info from mobile devices now in a way that wasn't available in most of James Alexander Gordon's day but you can't be on your mobile if you're driving.

Yeah good point. It'll be good to read about some of the old characters of broadcasting like Peter Jones, Bryon Butler etc. Plus some of the types who started big broadcasting careers elsewhere on Sports Report - Ian Darke, Jeff Stelling, Peter Brackley etc. I have to say I found Hall's florid match summaries irritating. When he was at Bolton there was always a faux Lancashire lobbed in at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
