[Football] Rosenior and Roberts

[Herr Tubthumper]

What a brilliant and refreshing pair of pundits.

What a brilliant and refreshing pair of pundits.

Exactly. I remember his dad, Leroy Rosenior, playing for West Ham. Brilliant when he was fit but the striker's injury record ruined his career.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

What a brilliant and refreshing pair of pundits.

They're certainly far more intelligent than any of the players on the pitch

 

[Frutos]

Yep, very refreshing change from the usual dull cliche merchants.

 

[Icy Gull]

If Roberts hadn’t been one of the quality forwards Bristol Rovers had at the time we’d probably never have signed Bobby Zamora.

Comes across well as a pundit too

 

[Bodian]

Superb. My missus said 'footballers that can talk"

 

[Steve in Japan]

Very balanced, intelligent comments, informative.........more please

 

[Lush]

Looking up “Meritocracy”....

Did Roberts play for Derby? if so, they could be back again for the next round too.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Wow. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to those two and feel I’ve actually learnt a few things from them.

 

[Cozzy]

Both intelligent guys who know football & can talk in a way people understand.

Still think Liam Rosenior is slowly being groomed by the club as an eventual replacement for CH though he may have to wait quite a while.

 

[Mo Gosfield]

Agreed. Left me thinking that I could listen to more from them. Mature and well rounded.

 

[Beach Hut]

Rosenior is often on the Sky Sports Debate program and speaks very intelligently as well

It helps that the BBC decided to get in two chaps with knowledge about both clubs rather than relying on the old guard who can't be bothered to learn anything about another team and just make long, sweeping generalisations. Two very intelligent and articulate pundits were on show last night, and (like Sidwell) shows that there is intelligent life within football.

Why do you write stuff like that?

 

[Return of the Rev]

Thought they were a class act we looked on in amazement at the confidence and flow of the pundits.

And also identify, highlight and discuss things which Id not considered and which add a lot of interest and from which I’ve learnt from. Poor old [MENTION=12187]Uter[/MENTION], I’m going to be blathering on about pivots and ball-side like I’m an authority next Saturday.

 

[DFL JCL]

They were superb, along with Mark Chapman. I would take that combination over Linekar, Shearer and A.N Other hasbeen.

BBC relied on the biased old guard for the commentary of the game though.
