So following your logic that means noone on this board can comment on the ability of any player? Or even have an opinion on anything unless they specialise in that subject? What is your big issue with what I have said? Everything I put he said is fact and I've said he should stop before it gets really bad. Are you also telling everyone on the numerous Shawcross threads(about he should retire)that they aren't professional footballers so they can't have an opinion on it? Players are highly paid professionals, who know that criticism comes with the territory. Nigel Johnson is a retired School teacher who only ever commentates on Stoke matches. There is no comparison between the two. The best thing you can do is wait until supporters are allowed back into stadiums and wait for Nigel Johnson to turn up so you can tell him to his face that you, the font of all knowledge, think he should retire. Or you can just spout off on this board. So, have you sent your CV off? Again I'll ask the question, what is your big issue with what I have put? Everything I put he said. So you can make up figures for what he's getting paid so nobody can comment on. I'd have no issue with telling him to his face but I don't see why he needs to retire again. I'd happily send my CV in, as going on your description of the job I can just sit there make up random things and nobody can criticise no matter what. As I'd only commentate on stoke and it not being my main profession I can literally do what I like.

Having watched on Sky on Wednesday with a generic Sky Sports robot on commentary, all I can say that Nige is miles and miles ahead, even with the greater challenge of describing a whole match instead of just chipping in with anodyne inanities every few minutes. Iām not sure about that, some sky commentary is excellent, especially with ex players joining in providing great insight. Add to that they are usually spot on with player names. Iām afraid I find it is garbage, mate. Nige is better than all of them.

It gets quite irritating tbf. I think youāve got too much time on your hands if it really keeps you up at night. I mean you have completely changed what I said. Whilst watching the matches it's irritating, but I'm not allowed to say that as this board is only for opinions on people who specialise in the profession they work in.

He's going to give it to Nigel Johnson with both barrels when fans are allowed back into the stadium. Irritating, damn right you are.

It's not great right now. He's clearly a bit of a legend and the voice of our football club but his commentaries feel in decline. People on this board have mentioned some of the stuff from today alone.
It's not unreasonable to point this out. Every other commentator I listen to on Radio Stoke and elsewhere doesn't make some of these errors.
I think there is still a role for him but its a more scripted one and not one describing a fast paced football match
