When did Oggy start getting his clothes from Frank Boughs wardrobe?

I just can't see Oggie as the cocaine and prostitutes type myself though

He looks like death warmed up. Has he been kept in a cupboard since the end of last season?

If you’re missing Clive he’s commentating on the Warwickshire match today, currently talking about socks

Think you have to remember her background is not as a sports reporter. She's basically got the job because she's a fan and BBC local radio budgets have been cut to below what they need to effectively operate. They can't afford to pay someone just to be the football presenter. Give her time and hopefully she'll settle in to the role.

We've been lucky over the years with how high quality the coverage on CWR has been, if you've ever had the misfortune the listen to other teams coverage there's some horrific stuff out there.

Yep I really hope she grows into the role as she is a fan. On reflection she just needs time and practice.

You can tell he's sick of her already. She's spouting absolute drivel.

I watched the game online and they had the cwr comms. I appreciate she's kinda new to this but she doesn't half waffle on. It was funny when Gurney asked her is there an end to this story when she was bringing up some vague statistic about the team winning when Simms plays.

Listened in the car on the way back from the ground and couldn’t stand 10 minutes of it. In that time she covered

- thinking she just saw a spider
- pantomime at the Belgrade
- saying jinx to Oggy and that they should link fingers

Was excruciating to listen to.

For post-match interviews walking / driving back usually.

Woke fucking nonsense. Lorna Bailey isn’t fit to cover the Longford community news. Poor Oggy looks like he’s just been told he has to car share with Lorna for the drive to Preston midweek. I’d be driving the CWR Focus into a ditch.

I really hope Clive has stepped away rather than been pushed for this.

Have any of you thought about getting together and emailing in mass complaining that she’s not good?

If you all emailed with your criticism surely it would help?

How much of a fan is she exactly? She wasn’t even sure who the 1st game was against at the fans forum last Monday. Used the excuse she’d been on holiday but the fixtures came out in June!!!

Anyway fan or not, she’s hopeless.

Think we’re seeing that a neutral (Clive) who gets more attached to the club over time is the way to go. Fans will always struggle to maintain objectivity and balance.

I hope this thread doesn't descend further into misogyny. It's easy enough to criticise someone who is underperforming and/or in the wrong role without bringing their gender into it.

The real shame for me is Rob Gurney. I remember him first time round and he seemed to have more about him then. I think he fell out with Strachan.

Now he’s fan boying to Oggy or asking irrelevant questions to Frank.

Last night was a classic …. The Vardy rumours were in overdrive, our best player Rudi rumoured to be a target for a rival, etc etc …. As fans we wanted Frank to be asked about both, even if just to see how Frank reacted. What did we get “ how do you think Bidwell played at centre half ?” Fuck me we bid £7n last week for a CH we all know that Frank doesn’t see Bidwell as the answer !

He’s always been a suck up. Him and Adam Dent were such a nauseating duo.

Yes we did want to hear that but it's possible that the subject was off limits.. And until we bring in another CB then Bidwell will have to be the answer so it makes sense to give him some exposure
