Don't understand why adults feel the need to hoof footballs around at kids training. Idiotic. Glad your kid is ok. I only heard the post match stuff when I got in to my car. linell interviewing Robins was better than usual. Foster interviewing Cock Piss-Partridge was some of the worst radio I've ever.

It was Dave Bennet.... and his mike that clearly wasn’t turned off and CWR were blissfully unaware. It was comedy gold!!! He would be giving his insights all very well spoken and worked out to Martin Winch... then“off air” he would be like.... for fucks sake how had he missed that

Or Fucking hell this is bad!!!!

Stuart linell must of been completely unaware as well as it wasn’t sorted so Benno once he wasn’t on the official mike was basically saying what all Cov fans were thinking but didn’t realise he was on a different mike as clear as day. If they did know I have no idea why it wasn’t sorted because it went on all game....but I loved Benno saying it how it was

If nobody else confirms this then I’m really worried as I am now hearing voices in my head telling me how shite City are ... and it’s Dave Bennet. My son will no longer be my other half’s main concern !!!!

He's always terrible. Somehow he's still employed.

Stuart Linnell at one point said 'And now we go over the Brian Alford, who is covering Stratford Town away at Flylde.'

Brian: 'Erm.. It's Leamington at home to Hartlepool, Stuart and I'm at the Windmill.'

It's actually funny that the CWR crew only seem to get shit from the fans when we're playing badly.

Grow up gentlemen.

Think you will find, if you look back at the posting history, they get shit whatever the result because they are so poor at times.

Clive Eakin is a pretty good commentator actually, but he does get so many names wrong. Players and teams.

I hear other commentators do it and then correct themselves. Unfortunately, I don't think Clive realises he's done it half the time and he'll make the same mistake a number of times on occasion.

Really? Only when were playing shit? They're dreadful, win, lose or draw. Every one of them to a man is dreadful at their job. When Clive Eakin is commentating he gets more excited when the other team are on the attack and you get no idea of how play is going. He regularly commentates while sucking a boiled sweet. Gets names wrong more than my Father in Law (who used to refer to McSheffery as McAllister and continually calls Jodi Jones, Cobi Jones).

They're all dreadful at their jobs.

Glad your lads okay reminds me of a similar incident years ago, I went to a semi-final took my then five year old, quite a large crowd round the pitch with a couple of minutes to go at 0-0 the little bleeder slipped my hand and ran diagonally across the corner of the pitch just as a clearance smacked him clean on the head and rebounded across the penalty area perfectly for the centre-forward to smack home the winner amongst all sorts of jubilation from one team and outcry from the other I very sheepishly slipped away with my confused and upset nipper in tow

The referee has had a shocker there! That would be “an outside agent” and the game would be stopped and the restart would be a drop ball.

I’m not sure that many saw it or realised exactly what happened it was in an instant you can imagine the celebrations going on players and supporters jumping about all over the place. My mate who was with me still laughs about it on reflection it was funny
