    Please can the club get some decent commentators.

    Negative, calling wrong names regularly, seem to get all the decisions wrong ie saying not a corner, then oh yes it is... Just amateur hour.

    It has to be said that their observations upon decisions are often highly, and sometimes weirdly inaccurate.

    They need to pause for breath and give our ears a rest every now and then although I guess they’re providing the radio commentary also.

    I think with having a summariser.. they talk to each other like two fans giving opinions on the game. What they want to realise is, as a listener they are your eyes and ears and should commentate on what is actually going on. With good descriptions and less of the ... two lads chatting at a match between themselves...

    I love Matt. I don’t think he’s negative at all (Adam Brammer definitely was, though, imo) and I agree with JamDrop in that he’s the voice of the club to me too, but he does get an awful lot wrong. Usually only small things and when you don’t have pictures it’s obviously unnoticeable, but I lose count of how many times he gets the wrong player name or thinks the ref has made a different call. I thought perhaps it was that their view isn’t as good as the TV gantry, but since the co-commentator has joined (forgot his name, but he’s good) he seems to get things spot on and often corrects Matt.

    I'm watching on iFollow too. Did so last week. It's a much more entertaining game than last Tuesday. Have to agree with MDG though, that anybody listening to the commentary will get a very inaccurate "view" of the game. The number of misidentified players and misinterpretation of what's happened is very large...........

    Love Matts commentary. When I’m away from home always try and listen through I follow. His passion makes it all more realistic for me, and I’m so used to him it would be odd for anyone else to be the voice of BFC. Don’t give a monkeys particularly if he calls the odd corner wrong, He gets carried away.

    Carried away might be a good idea.

    Don't mean to be too harsh on em, it must be quite difficult to do if they are doing it without monitors etc. When I said negative, it was just they kept going on about Bradford not having won on 14 or so, my pet hate inviting an upset lol..
