What I think is evident, is that he's very used to being a radio commentator not a tv commentator. He describes twice as much as a regular TV commentator would and there's very little 'dead air' (I mean silence, not what comes out of his arse). I think that is part of the reason he makes mistakes on players names as well as years of being able to get away with the odd mistake when it's just CWR radio coverage.I totally agree. I think Clive is great fun and actually does a really good job, when you watch the match as I have been doing this season you see how hard it is to describe the action for a radio audience. Watching the matches and listening is a very different experience. He makes a lot of mistakes which are often hilarious. The McCallum one referenced here was bewildering but marvellous. Oggy has a very good tactical understanding of the game and an incredible knowledge of every opposition, it doesn’t seem like he just does his homework on Wiki, he seems to have an in-depth knowledge. Great stuff I reckon.

Lets be honest he’s a bloody awful commentator.
On the radio you think City are about to score the way he always gets more excited when the opposition are on the attack!!! This is compounded when you’re watching his commentary and you realise this over excitement for opposition attacks are unfounded. Then you realise he is blind and/or has dementia when he can’t tell who is kicking the ball or who is playing. Flipping shambles.
He should do the right thing and let someone else do it. Let’s get Rob Gurney back.
Not as bad as trying to figure out where fans would sitHave any of you noticed his obsession with corner-count for both teams, the minutes for injury time and in the last match he couldn't stop talking about the yellow card count for the season and number of games before suspension?

He once said that if fans were here we would be kicking left to right or right to left if you were sitting on the other side.Not as bad as trying to figure out where fans would sit
Is he a CIty fan?

No it’s a new oneis that an owl joke?
as it stands.....We should have a Clive bingo to add to the match thread one:
'Aaaaaaaand it's scrambled away.'
'Stops and checks, now.'
'Let's get your reaction to the action.'
Incorporate a drinking game into it and you'll need an ambulance by half time.

Whenever we concede: "Ohhh, and it's gone in...."
Also "and we have Nick from Birmingham on the line"
After reading this thread I both want a Clive bingo, and also want someone to try and do their own live commentary so we can see how good it is. Anyone up for SBT alternative commentary?
If we did it, it would be an absolute disaster.
Think of the schizophrenic match thread and that game of bingo that goes on there.
90 minutes of pure meltdown. It might be good entertainment though!

Hahaha I'd be willing to do it if someone provided the tech know-how
