5 minutes into the 2nd half McCallum down the wing attacking the Luton goal. Clive forgets they’ve changed ends, wildly surprised that McCallum is running towards his own goal (he isn’t) and congratulated him on winning a goal kick. Then calls Luton, Shrewsbury Town.


An absolute classic

Being a cricket fan, I have to suffer listening to him all year round... You would think he would be okay with a slower paced sport... Think again!

I kind of enjoy it to be honest. Adds an extra dimension to the game.

If it was Clive... He would most likely be driving the bus that eventually runs him over!

He’s comedy gold. Shame the bbc don’t do a TalkSPORT style “clips of the week”. Clive would have his own show.

Didn't Brian Harvey of East17 run himself over with a quad bike?

My uncle died from pushing a wheelbarrow full of paving slabs. Wheel barrow tipped to one side, he pulled a muscle in his thigh. Gave up on the job, had a couple of cans, went to bed and woke up with his leg twice it's usual size. He was an alcoholic and his blood didn't clot. Died a day later because his organs had flooded with blood. Tragic at the time but increasingly hilarious as the years go by.

My grandad worked at Guinness and fell into a 4,000 gallon vat of the stuff and drowned.




He got out seven times to piss

I've said it before and repeating myself now but Clive is a really good commentator if you don't care which teams and what players are playing. Oggy also reads the game very well - he's a lot more tactically astute than I expected. I think they've a very good combo together.

I think he's a pretty good commentator and along with Oggy I quite enjoy the show. It's also nice that every so often he makes a massive gaff, it adds to the enjoyment, or is it confusion. Kind of like a small time Murray Walker.

It’s only when I have watched ifollow that you can relax a bit more listening to Clive - his excitement is mounting well out of the box on the radio and you get worried they are going to score but what you can see is Fadz about to clear it - and as for the shots on goal - must score is row Z

so it’s a much easier commentary to work with !

I've noticed this too. Maybe Marosi said he'd sign as long as Oggy was sacked!

Lets be honest he’s a bloody awful commentator.

On the radio you think City are about to score the way he always gets more excited when the opposition are on the attack!!! This is compounded when you’re watching his commentary and you realise this over excitement for opposition attacks are unfounded. Then you realise he is blind and/or has dementia when he can’t tell who is kicking the ball or who is playing. Flipping shambles.

He should do the right thing and let someone else do it. Let’s get Rob Gurney back.

I totally agree. I think Clive is great fun and actually does a really good job, when you watch the match as I have been doing this season you see how hard it is to describe the action for a radio audience. Watching the matches and listening is a very different experience. He makes a lot of mistakes which are often hilarious. The McCallum one referenced here was bewildering but marvellous. Oggy has a very good tactical understanding of the game and an incredible knowledge of every opposition, it doesn’t seem like he just does his homework on Wiki, he seems to have an in-depth knowledge. Great stuff I reckon.

Exactly.
I have “eavesdropped” on most opponents commentaries and we’re lucky to have Clive & Oggy.
