I’d give him until end of October and if no improvement, sack him.

That goal could be massive in our season, the commentary of it is unusable if Radio Stoke wanted to play it back.
Like he’s never watched the game before.

He said a bit earlier that he is trying to be neutral in his commentary.. why?

He is fucking terrible. The shit he drones on about whilst the actual game is on is beyond ridiculous. Fuck him off and start again.

I actually turned the commentary off having decided that today I would give it another go. Unfortunately I'd just popped out of the room only to hear the raucous excitement in his voice and thought we'd scored! Turned out it was Bristol's first so I'm afraid that was it for me. I've talked about this on numerous other threads. I think he's awful. Said it before, there are some of us who pay the official site for this. This is how we keep connected to the Club and a 'matchday experience'. I know it's not the Club's fault that this bloke has been given the gig but I'm afraid it's doing them no favours. As I turned it off so early I can make no comment on whether he's actually improved where it comes to telling the listener what the F is happening during a match but I would like to know if he's still telling us that AN has his hands down his blue tracksuit trousers and giving flag and wind updates every three seconds or if he at least managed to get a new catchphrase or three

He started talking about seagulls flying into the woods at one point , and used the non word resilent. How is he in the job?

Luckily the stream I found had no commentary, so missed whatever shite he was coming out with. Utter cringe he is.

I don't need to know if stoke fans are sitting and standing and wearing stoke home/away tops or what it say's on the flags. I don't need to know how many tiers there are in each stand or which way the flags are blowing and what it is like in the surrounding area. All this and more when the bluddy game is being played. Tell me what's happening in the Game

Its Radio Vale that have lumbered us with him as part of the diversity (which I agree With ) quota...Seems a nice guy but not a Stoke fan.

His twice use phrase "forest of tress" was beyond random. It had me reaching for Google to see if it was a Bristolian beauty spot.
Oh, and when remaking on Lowe's debut 89th minute winner, his "I haven't been 18 for 62 years" followed quickly by "I've just given my age away" was totally hatstand too.

I’m in Cornwall this weekend. If Stoke are playing I usually pay for the Radio Stoke commentary but this time I just followed the match on my Sky app. I think Sohail would be a decent commentator on a national channel where he could remain neutral but on a local level I want some passion towards Stoke. It is supposed to be entertainment after all.

There are no words to describe how inept this guy is. He doesn’t take a moments breadth and talks so much shit, it’s unbelievable. What’s that garbage he was on about the tower block looking like Nelson Mandella house?

Don’t think he was saying it looked like it I took the impression he was saying it was it and that only fools and horses was actually filmed in Bristol. He could of course have been talking absolute bollox I’ve no idea. EDIT: Just Googled it he may well be right.

Did he just say Bournemouth players?? I'm glad I wasn't the only one thought the same. Only RS could pick Sirhale or whatever his name is, and Gabby to comment on a Stoke game. One who hardly knows where Stoke is, and one who is like an echo chamber.RS must be the only local radio station that has two non local,, no local tiea commentators commenting on local football games.

The saying he’s neutral bit was odd.
Does neutrality apply to regional programming?
Surely not.
Thought he was ok, wasn’t overly enamoured with Zakuani. Didn’t seem to add much.

Gabby comes across a bit, well very stupid. Starts his sentences with the last word the other person has just said. Overall it’s abysmal commentary, amateur at the very best and Vale/Crewe have far better who know the local game.

I've had to turn him off after 10 minutes for the second game in a row. He's dreadful. I have no idea what's going on footballwise. Sad when a 30 second update from talksport every 20 minutes is preferable to his droning dross.
