Let Clive do the good gigs and Tam can tell us who scored a double in 1971 with a second half double away to which team this time that year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would I waste my time and money going to games when you get top class camera work nowadays on your television. That wasn't my point though, my point was the fans won't be allowed in the next home game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respect your opinion but couldn't disagree more Fed up with jobs for the boys tbh For the club to move forward we need the best employees we can afford, not choosing someone because he supported us. Obviously there are exceptions and I'm willing to admit this role is perhaps more of a grey area, because like you there will be fans wanting to hear what a fan has to say. Obviously if there's a conflict of interest, ie a scum fan applying for a job then the rule doesn't apply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously. The professionalism of the broadcasts with the lineups is night and day. Clive will no doubt be doing more and more homework before his next broadcast. It was an absolute coup to get one of the most recognised voices on comms. I know Tom Miller is a bear etc but it was night and day having Clive at the microphone.

Not expecting him to belt the Sash out before kick off but don't cheapen the product my inferring it's substandard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not wrong, but I think that's what The Dude is alluding to. There was a few times I've heard him say "at this level" when talking about our player's abilities. But, let me put it this way, would you be happy for a new player to come in and do such a good job on the pitch as what Clive did commentating on his first couple of Rangers games? I'm sure he'll get some feedback from the club, and I'm sure he'll adjust accordingly. If anything he's just being honest, so if the club ask him to talk up our players and league, then he's kind of being asked to massage the truth a little.

I don’t actually care, as I said in the post you quoted, mate. He’s not wrong, but I understand @The Dude’s point about not cheapening the product, as well.

Just let the game happen. Last season Tom Miller was doing the RTV commentary plus the audio commentary, silence wouldn't have been too good over the radio. So far this season Tom Miller & Steven Smith are doing the audio while Clive Tyldesley does the TV. I watched the Bayern vs Barca game on CBS (channel here in the USA) and Clive Tyldesley was the commentator. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
