Please not Adam Dent, couldn't stand him
Telling people to 'grow up' when criticising Wasps was the only issue I've had with his coverage.
Even after they were clearly bust and on their way out he’d get defensive over them. Bit of a weird stance to takeHe hated anybody saying anything about them. Most of CWR did.

Losing out on work so in denial?
I would suggest telling callers to grow up for criticising Wasps isn’t impartial either.The BBC directive would be not to say anything negative

So just bullshit instead, standard.
He would get irritated all the time when anybody mentioned them.
It’s a difficult situation though isn’t it. BBC assigned a local commentary team and rugby slots to them - I don’t think any presenter criticised our move to Northampton from what I recall
Please not Adam Dent, couldn't stand him
I once sold my house to Adam Dent.
He's better than Oggy at the names. McNulty was playing centre half for us all the end of last season!Heard many supporters on other forums laughing at the low quality of commentary when watching there team on our I follow . Clive can't get our players name right what chance have other teams got. He's crap.
I think that’s part of the fun ofHonestly - these Cov fans are unbelievable. Clive has been consistently dogshit for many years. I have had to stop listening. He can’t even get the players’ names right for good sake! Get him out the exit door ASAP along with Boddy!
Yeah I do agree they seemed to have a love in with Wasps you couldn’t criticise them or you’d get cut offHe hated anybody saying anything about them. Most of CWR did.
Couldn't disagree more. It's part of Clive's charm that he gets players and even teams' names wrong. Oggy's almost as bad! They're a good combination. Leave them be.Honestly - these Cov fans are unbelievable. Clive has been consistently dogshit for many years. I have had to stop listening. He can’t even get the players’ names right for good sake!

Yes Gurney is a Sky Blues fan, but you can't beat Clive when City score, very passionate, I know he's a Tranmere fan but I feel he gives a much more balanced view. Don't really get the desicion with all the cuts at local BBC radio
All the time? He's not a brain surgeon or an airline pilot, so no-one's going to die."Charm"
Will tell that to my boss when I get things wrong in my job all the time.
Wait, Nicks a brain surgeon and part time pilot tooAll the time? He's not a brain surgeon or an airline pilot, so no-one's going to die.
Think Gurney had to leave as Strachan wanted him out. The whole club was in turmoil at the time.I really enjoyed Rob Gurney's commentary, but at times he seemed to be really downbeat during games - being a fan when your team is playing shit is bad at the best of times, and I don't think he was able to keep his emotions in check. I distinctly remember a game when Tony Cottee scored 2 or 3, and I thought he was going to off himself.
Wasn't he initially replaced by Geoff Foster, with Clive then coming in a year or so later? Or is my memory playing tricks?
You say that, he did think we had Gestapo Hamer for a lot of the 20/21 season.All the time? He's not a brain surgeon or an airline pilot, so no-one's going to die.

Really?It doesn't matter if people are going to "die".
I've kind of got used to listening to Clive over the years, yes he often gets the names fucked up, and Oggy's pronunciations are hilarious at times, but you only have to listen to opposition's commentary to realise they are far better than some alternatives.
The CWR stance on Wasps was disgraceful, and badly let down Cov Rugby imo.
As for cutting off callers, let's be honest 99% of those who call in are complete fucking bellends and need cutting off.
I agree CWR didn't read the room in relation to London Wasps.I've kind of got used to listening to Clive over the years, yes he often gets the names fucked up, and Oggy's pronunciations are hilarious at times, but you only have to listen to opposition's commentary to realise they are far better than some alternatives.
