Oggy on the radio (1 Viewer)

Orca · Aug 16, 2019

My view is that I listened with a little trepidation to start with, as having met him a couple of times, I wasn't really sure he'd really be any good for radio. However, credit where it's due, he knows what he's talking about and whilst he's not particularly excitable, the knowledge he has, particularly of the players he's been working with, is refreshing

Crikey, give him a month or two. I would imagine being a new presenter behind a live mic can be stressful even with the knowledge he has. Maybe a stepping stone into a new career.

Or maybe careering into a previously unseen (new) stepping stone?

What did he say about Brown?

He said how well he thought he played against Southend and him being a young player. He clearly was thinking of Brandon Mason and a slip I'd have expected from Eakin, but given he was part of the coaching set up only a few months ago and would known both players it just seemed like an error I wouldn't have expected him to make.

He contrasts Clive perfectly: Clive is very excitable and has a perfect radio voice, Oggy has a lot of football knowledge and knows who all our players are.

Clive knows who all our players are. He just struggles matching names to faces

Lee Burge would do better. He would finish each game with a mic drop.

Can't wait for the next defeat to be blamed on Oggy.

I do go to the matches (season ticket), plug in my radio and listen to the commentary. Missed the first game as was on holiday, on got back Tuesday evening. Is that OK with you?

Yep. I do the same. At the game, but have the radio on too. Didn't know you were only supposed to do one or the other.

They’d just been talking about Brown basically - I think it was just a slip but I’ve not heard him do any others?

I think Oggy is okay. He puts over his point of view well and knows what he is talking about. Sometimes it is difficult to listen to footballers on the radio or TV as they either talk in cliches, won’t say how things really are for fear of getting into bother or just find it hard to talk coherently with a mic under their nose (I have to say I have some sympathy with the latter as the one and only time I was interviewed for the radio I found it difficult).
Of the former players who are worth listening too, I like Chris Cattlin, Andy Blair and Noel Whelan, all have got something fresh to say. The most insightful Ex player they have had on I think has been Stuart Giddings. He seems to watch the team regularly and knows his stuff.

I've been doing that for years.

Didn't the ex-players association change their stance on going to St. Andrews?

Dave Bennett and a couple of other members were sitting next to me at the Southend match

I thought they'd been talking about McCallum, then Oggy just mentioned how well Brown had done previous game. He clearly meant Mason and was just saying how there was another promising young left back at the club who was ahead in the pecking order, but for some reason he said Junior Brown.

To be fair, he hasn't made any other slip ups I've noted and it's something we've all done before and said the wrong persons name. At least he did actually choose a left back!

I haven't minded him so far. Apart from the bit where he revealed we spent £350k on Bakayoko.

Hardly spent that?

I think he's been okay so far, look beyond the boring drone that is his voice and he offers something a little different from the usual experts

Is he your insider Mr panda?

That's what he said after the Southend game. No word of a lie, said we paid £350 to 400k for Baka.

That was the figure I remember seeing at the time

Yeah that was said when he moved here?
