Brushing my teeth this morning and got sad thinking of not hearing Clive commentating again. Voice from my childhood unless I'm getting him mixed up with a prior commentator

Clive took over from Gurney in the early 00s.

Ok I am getting mixed up then as I remember being on my bed on a sunny saturday listening to radio when we played Leeds and we were 10 unbeaten or something. Would have been mid 90s

Still early 00s is still a bloody long time!

I find Gurney to be overly critical and negative these days.

I agree to an extent.

His job at the moment is to give a personal opinion on what's going on, rather than commentate and as we see on here it's very easy to spout off annoyance and criticism.

If he does go back to the commentating hopefully he'll concentrate more on describing the action and be more like he was before - he was a very good commentator before Clive took over.

I don't know if it's cos we know about his mental health issues but it feels like you can tell he is depressed and negative on the radio

Having Doug’s brother retweeting stuff about King taking care of the Clive situation for Lampard isn’t going to help stop the rumours.

Ah so clearly something has been said
Hate that

It can't be true surely?

Double bluff you think
I’d like to think not he’s so inoffensive

Just don't think King would go moaning to CWR about Clive, why would he? Doesn't seem logical.

Cant believe that has happened at all.

I mean whether it's true or not, and I don't believe it is, it's an incredibly stupid thing for his brother to put on social media.

They've had a team working on it for months.

Fucking bitch was speculating how long it took a fan who sent a text in to walk home and what route he might take.

Jeez! We know she’s pony but a bit harsh. You have a point though.

LB was asking Clive how the play-offs worked at half-time and how it’s decided who we’d play if we got in. She clearly has little to no genuine interest in football.

She was probably asking for a friend. Or the uninformed on here. Given the rapid increases in attendances at the CBS they are probably quite a lot of people who don't know how these things work, so she was asking a public service question.

Having given a fair, balanced and supportive answer I will have to spoil it by saying that I don't like female commentators for men's matches so I really ~~opulent~~ don't want Lorna to take over commentary.

Rob totally mismanaged the fans forum following the sacking of Robins. He operated like an ill Informed fan not a BBC sports journalist.

At times we love Rob for his emotional bias but when you openly question whether the owner of the club is telling the truth when you have no evidence to the contrary then it’s unlikely to end well for you.

They pushed that agenda way beyond anything reasonable. Over friendly with Robins?

Offhegoes · 2025-05-06T16:40:40+0100

I am sure Gurney's return has led to this in some way. The way Gurney laughs or makes sounds of bemusement at Clive's comments has been a continuing trend in the coverage this season. I know RG is The 'City Fan' but he's so prickly when challenged.
Clive is like family now. At times sily and irritaiting but I love his pure emotion on the mic. No filter.

What's has Clive allegedly done to upset Frank?

Made fun of his bald patch apparently. Offered some of his fringe to cover it up.

I don't like Gurney, he is permanently irritating. Far prefer Eakin

Thanks Andy.

How puerile, especially if done in private. Its not like anyone won't have noticed it. Just needs a bit of dark stain on his scalp. to tone down the contrast. Probably too late to sneak in a Russell Slide cap now. Fringe is wrong colour anyway.

God this site sometimes,u
As if it's not enough having a contretemps over Robins/,Lampard at a time to celebrate and hope this is the time we make it.
It always ends up this way like a big brother moment and ending in a ridiculous bet!🫣

Well, his brother isn't a PR guru is he? A bit gaffe prone.

The clips from Saturday start at 10:50. Love it when his voice starts to break a bit because he's shouting so hard for the first goal, been a few of them in recent years.
