Hello Sky Blues phone in
Hi I'd like to go on air and talk about the game
Did you go to the game
No
Sorry we only want people who can actually give a decent roundup, bye.
Yeah, but even though I can hear Stuart Linnell during the match and even though I can actually see him at the match by looking across at the main stand, I am still not sure he is actually there at the match.Stuart Linnell did try this about four seasons ago (the Northampton era iirc) but it collapsed around his ears.
He asked a bloke who hadn’t been to the game how he felt qualified to comment and the bloke snapped back with
“so are you saying that the CWR commentary is so poor that it doesn’t give me an accurate perception of the game it’s supposed to describe?”
At this point Linnell was faced with an unpalatable problem. Unsurprisingly he backed down completely. I don’t think he’s used the “bit you weren’t at the game” argument much since then.

And this is why it is totally pointless ringing up to comment upon the play within a game if you haven't been to the game.One thing we can all agree on on here, is that the commentary on CWR of the match is often wildly inaccurate as to what's actually going on. I don't expect them to give outstanding descriptions of what's going on every minute but I do expect them to get the name of the team we're playing right and the score!! There was one game years ago where they didn't realise the opposition had scored and we were drawing!
At the moment, on CWR commentary alone, you can't make fair conclusions on JCH vs Biamou or say Kelly vs Doyle, as both pairs routinely have their names mixed up! What must the guest commentator be thinking, I do not know...

The basic problem is that the commentators report what is happening on the ball so the listener doesn't appreciate when other players are getting in to good (or bad) positions off the ball.
Mind you, a lot of people at the game don't notice either
Hi, StuartI like Stuart, he's an honest bloke who loves the club and I think he makes a fair whack of sense as well.
I'd personally like a go at doing the commentary though. I wonder if there's any jobs going?
Hi, Stuart
I dont mind Linnell to be honest. Eakin is OK as well, it's Foster as we know who needs to be ditched, well, needed to be ditched years ago.I like Stuart, he's an honest bloke who loves the club and I think he makes a fair whack of sense as well.

At least Eakin can ask a reasonable question after the match instead of "do you like talking about yourself". Jeez!
their to busy telling us about traffic jams for the wasps game or wasps commentary can be found here after the game / tomorrow etc.... or wasps wasps wasps
getting beyond a joke now
They won’t!!! When I used to work in Northampton, @Earlsdon_Skyblue1 would regularly text into BBC Radio Northampton breakfast show ironically hosted by Stuart Linnel, and tell them that their were major delays on the A34 and A45 because of ludicrous reasons, like a plank of wood in the road!!! My Seat Sat Nav got its traffic updates from the radio so it was forever re-directing me around non existent traffic jams!! I swear he brought Northampton and Daventry to a halt on a weekly basis!!
Looks like we may possibly be signing him up.
Coventry City have moved a step closer to signing this player
Maybe good enough for League 1 and 2, but not for the Championship and Premier League in their eyes?Sounds a prospect.
I wonder why Brentford are letting him go? It sounds like he’s an integral part of their youth set up and has been on the cusp of being part of the 1st team more regularly?
