Thing is he is always truthful to how he sees the game, no skyblue glasses.
Long live Oggy.

He’s also improved a lot since he started - he’s clearly working on it unlike a lot of ex-pros who just dial it in.

Wonder what Oggy is paid for his commentary. Player, coach and very insightful on the radio. Legend continues…

Obviously met Oggie in the Burnt Post in 1987 and expects him to remember it

Clive was the same. Would usually give the referees the benefit of the doubt, even if it was at Coventry's expense

Yeah, you can tell he puts the work in. Has insights on the opposition, talks with confidence and gives his own opinion based on facts and research. Doesn't patronise callers by blindly agreeing with or waving through their opinion without challenging it.

To be fair, if Haji had have been flagged offside we would have conceded a good chance. Worked out alright though.

That's what happens when you have a fan commentating, and why Clive's relative neutrality was such an asset. Having said that, I think Rob's doing a good job. And please, please, for the love of God, find something else for Lorna to do on matchdays!

I like Gurney and Oggy. And I also liked Clive and Oggy.

As for what Oggy is paid, I reckon it’s a decent parking space, petrol money, a pre-match pie, a half-time Chunky Kit Kat and unlimited Kenco coffee.

Always maintained Oggy and Clive did their homework before going on air. They knew everything about the opposition. On the rare occasions I listen to opposing presenters, they usually know bugger all about us or talk absolute crap.

Totally agree, I've mentioned on here before about Radio Tees and the fact they have a fancaster (Dana) who puts our ones to shame. Always giving a well balanced and articulate view. There are some educated ones but most of ours just talk through sky blue tinted glasses. That guy who sounds like he smokes 50 a day does my tits in

Why did I read "arses" instead of "glasses"?

Oggy is the only reason I bother putting it on these days - From the limited amount of games I do not make and listen along, Rob is not my cup of tea and nowhere near as good as Clive

Lorna should never ever be the main host in a million years

I do feel sorry because Lorna is getting slated every week. Ultimately she's a fan like all of us but her style is a world apart from the serious personality showed by Clive.

Do think Clive is still a big miss, but I've warmed to Rob this season. Think it's because he's still a familiar voice and we've not really had many reasons to be negative so far.

Not a big fan of the fancast format though really, although I imagine the phone in just wasn't working with the same callers each week

It's rare that I listen on the radio but every time I have this year, it was better with Clive. Even when he was getting names wrong, he was far better than what we have now. Far more level headed (but still passionate) without going overboard, gushing and attempting to jinx games/this season at every opportunity.

Rob sounds like that awkward guy at the pub who over compensates but doesn't really know. With Clive, you could never be sure about which player he was actually talking about but thought he was unbiased and that's what you want when listening to a game on the radio.

It really wouldn’t be hard to take this over if we all agreed to call in afterwards. But none of us want to so we have to listen to the lemons who do. We could have basically SBT Live after every game if we got our shit together.

I do try most games and never get asked on. I assume my number has been marked down as a prankster from my first attempt.

I think it was Linnell who desperately would say it would be nice to hear from callers WHO HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN AT THE GAME.

Boosh messages used to often get read out on air. Assume it's the same Boosh from this forum as there was always a hint of a wind up in them and I think Clive could sense it

Isn't the BBC already in enough trouble? Can you imagine the language?

There's no asterisks in live broadcasting.
