A true legend, I hope this was just him warming up for the season ahead though, anyone listening on the radio is hearing a different game.
I’m not sure Allen and Vrancic look that much alike, he got them confused quite a few times though.
Baath and Fletcher too, they definitely don’t look alike.
Jason Brown
I can’t remember what he called Doughty but it sounded like something you might order at a fast food restaurant.

Tymon's clearance five minutes after he'd been subbed was another real cock up. Sorry Nige but it really is time to hang up your microphone and get your slippers out.

They were slating the lino when he went off injured for a good 4 mins before they even realised. Absolute terrible both him and pej. Surely there's a young keen local Stoke fan who would love the opportunity?

I find the bashing of Nigel on here very sad. If you don't like it, dont tune in. Alternatively, go to the match.... pathetic

He and the co commentator thought we were bringing Fletcher and Powell off to rest them for Fleetwood on Tuesday. Time to retire

I must admit, despite his obvious flaws he’s a way better commentator than the others on the station. Plus I like to play Nige bingo. Jason Brown, centre cirtle, red and white stripe stockings, heads go up, inside right channel etc……😉

I think you’ll find the likes of Nige and the other folk who commentate on Stoke, Vale and Crewe are not employed by the BBC and they are paid just expenses which is a pittance when you look at the time they put in travelling,Pre match and post match and the amount they are out of their homes on matchdays! Probably works out well below minimum wage, so cut him and the others some slack, they do it for the love of their respect Clubs certainly not for any financial gain.

I love our Nige. He’s an element of the club that makes us unique.
I’ve grown up listening to him since I was a boy. It will be a sad day when he hangs up his microphone.

I'd challenge anybody to do a running commentary on a football game, it's a very very difficult skill a lot harder than t.v because you have to describe the positionson the pitch, it's hard enough just describing it but you have to offer your own thoughts and make it sound interesting even if it's dull. Then you have fast paced games like today

If you are on about the missed chance Nige called it correctly as Fletcher before Pejic started saying it was Baath and they were then waiting for a replay to see who was right

Some muppets just like to criticise at every opportunity. Think you can do a better job than him, go apply to the BBC. Paid by our Licence fees? Do me a favour, he'll be lucky to get £100, travel expenses and all the coffee he can drink.

Him and Pejic losing their shit at the stoppage in play during the 2nd half when the linesman had to go off was so, so frustrating. They assumed it was because the players wanted a drinks break!

Despite his flaws , Nige does actually paint a picture of what is going on ( eg. Powell surging through the inside left position). I get a sense of what's going on , rather than the quality of the half time butties that some of his co commentators waffle on about.

he'll be missed when gone due to his unique style. He certainly is making mistakes but can live with that. Hugh johns did it all the time on TV but regarded by so many as a great. I don't think some will appreciate him as much until replaced which hopefully is a few seasons away for me. I vaguely remember Chris Florence as a kid, loved him and like Nige had his own way of commentating. Compare them to that bloody egit with the coloured rim glasses that used to be on Radio Stoke, forget his name , George someone, Pratt perhaps. Someone above summed him up well as painting a picture, exactly what he does. Part of the furniture for me when can't be there. Lovely man as well.
