I don't mind his idiosyncrasies or obsessions. Nige's catchphrases and eccentricities were part of what made him such an outstanding listen.
I just wish he'd focus a bit more on describing where the ball is and what's going on. He's growing on me, but you just find yourself lost too often when listening to the radio. That can be improved, though.

It's a bit of a radio trait to speak a bit of general nonesense every now and then. Dead air isn't an option with radio, so I get it. Think he is getting better with each game

Heās a much better listen when heās got a decent co-commentator alongside him. Pejic is truly terrible and doesnāt help him out at all.

I think you can have a bit of dead air. Heād be much better if he realised he can take a breath every now and again.

He got himself in a mess at one point when he said Burger to Burger to Burger when it was Burger to Junho to Thompson. Hes got alot better depending who is the co commentator

Pejic is a horrendous listen. He was praying for QPR to score.

Pejic would depress anyone but the commentary was really good. Some are obviously looking for things to complain about.

In 90 minutes of continuous commentary he's going to to say one or things that people think are odd, or don't like. He's not a robot. So much needless nitpicking going on. He's fine by Local Radio standards.

Definitely growing on me after a dodgy start, and of course given 90 minutes of airtime to fill, he'll occasionally talk absolute bollocks.
Ange and him were absolutely bang on for their comments during the Blackburn game. Thought he was good tonight; showing some real passion for our club - good on him...

I thought the commentary on Saturday was good, I thought Ange made a great contribution and spoke with passion. Same here Can't stand her. If I wanted to hear someone moaning about how bad we are when watching the game then I'd just listen to my own thoughts. Hearing that while you're getting annoyed our performance makes it worse. I'd rather have someone neutral commentating.

His incessant need to describe clothing/attire, etc. does my head in, but other than that, I'll give him a pass.

About the ommentary on the Stoke games.It brought a little smile to my face When he said about the sweets of the ladies in front of him And the lights being non .The roundabout getting busy.I do not like Mr Pedgic at all but thatās just me Ha Ha I know said lady who gives the Radio Stoke commentary team sweets and treats during matches, she's lovely. I've met Sohail at the Plymouth away game and he is such a likeable & commited, hardworking character. His work prep and attention to detail is second to none. Pages and pages of research, stats & facts on Stoke and whoever their opponents are. Sohail simply loves football & commentating on matches is his happy place. I know that BBC employees are by their very employed nature, 'supposed'/'meant' to remain neutral & I think we've been spoilt with Nige for so long that we just expected all our commentators to have that Stoke in the blood type aura when describing our matches. & yes I know other radio commentators covering other local teams appear more ingrained in their teams but I think this is something that just comes over time in the role. Other clubs use in-house commentary teams aswell so they can afford to get more excitable, and off the scale with their views during matches. I know that iplayer efl matches using BBC commentary always seems a different level of comms to clubs like Birmingham City, Watford, Southampton & Bristol City have. BBC commentary was always meant for radio broadcasting purposes. Sohail also works for 5Live alot still, commentating on Premier League matches when not covering Stoke matches & impartiality is always required on those occasions so it's probably in his nature to remain neutral the best he can when covering matches. He's clearly getting the Stoke bug & I'm sure it was just something that needed time behind the mic covering Stoke City matches for him to be able to loosen the reins so to speak on him appearing so impartial when it comes to things SCFC. Have read on here a few times about that he seems to get to excited when opposition teams score goals against us. It got me thinking the other night, to be fair to Sohail he just loves football & love seeing goals scored. He certainly doesnt celebrate other teams scoring but his emotions rise with goal mouth action & leads into a more higher sounding response. Again this could tie in with his 5Live action where regardless of who scores, he has to describe the action in front of him. Obviously this season we've conceded far more goals than we've scored so probably sounds like the show ends to him describing opposition goals more so than our own, but in reality, this is the way the games have gone.

I think he has got a bit better but his obsession with the clothes the manager is wearing and which players are wearing gloves does my head in. And I know I'm nitpicking but his pronunciation of Boothen, with a soft 'th' and his use of the word 'midrift', which doesn't even exist, really grates with me.

I don't listen to it any more I'm afraid but the constant 'hands down tracksuit pants' thing did my head in, as did the flags waving and the floodlight stuff. Ok if you're watching the match but useless if you're relying on his commentary. The clue to him should be that he's commentating on RADIO Stoke
