The Albion radio commentary recently has been excellent

[Pot noodles for everyone]

I love a biased commentator and the bloke who now does it is superbly pro-Albion. He's got a very engaging style, knows his stuff and creates the proper tension. His asides are rather good too. "Elliott Bennett doesn't do tap-ins but if he did.....".

Yesterday's commentary was the best yet. I just love this from the last-minute winner: "What a volley! It's the stuff of champions! It's the stuff of dreams!"

Now that, fellow Albion fans, is a classic line and no mistake.

I agree, I think he's very good.

And with all due respect to Hinsh and Aspinall etc, it is a lot lot better when Jonny Byrne is alongside him.

Just a shame you have to listen to the commentaries in the first place Pot ... Cant be there yourself then?.

 

[Brighton M]

Given that he's had to replace the terrific Andrew Hawes, I think he (Johnny Cantor?) is damn good.

There are plenty of good reasons why people can't be at the games

I'm sorry, but Andrew Hawes is shit. He used to get way more excited about opposition goals than Albion ones and half the time it was impossible to tell who'd scored.

This. Johnny Cantor is a far superior commentator .

Agree completely, Hawes was drab and lacked passion. Cantor is excellent.

However, South Coast Radio used to cover Albion games, and they were brilliant. Who can forget Jim Proudfoot's incredible summing up of Brighton's great escapel back in '97?

Have to say as well old Tony Millards at Hereford was superb if anyone has it...

 

[Richy_Seagull]

Andrew Hawes shit?? Are you having a laugh? Was an excellent commentator.

Agree that Jonny Canter has been good recently though, apart from the odd silly comment, usually in relation to texts that's have been sent in.

Agree. - Also much prefer John Byrne to Hinshelwood ,who is a miserable bugger.

Andrew Hawes is/was VERY FAR from being a shit commentator.

 

[Tomnorthi]

Johnny Cantors summary of sandazas late winner was also good imo.

Do you have a copy of that too? Upload it!

Generally don't hear the commentary as I'm there but the commentary at Yeovil was good.

Yesterdays game deserves youtube highlights of all the goals with commentary

Originally I would not have said AH was shit however Notters has nailed it with a factually correct summary of his performance. So if people did not think he was shit they were happy with the above service.

JC on the other hand, great phrases and has what I want from an Albion commentator, biased passionate commentary.
