This is a man who thinks we have Richard Gere playing for us in defence, are you surprised???

(He did score a very good goal against us for Carlisle at the Goldstone in 1996, tho (the game of the post-match West Stand cushion-throwing, prior to the York 'riot')

Absolute bollocks. I heard the call and he said he "didn't know anything about him". You were asking him what the deal was with him, and he said he didn't know anything about him. Not that he hadn't heard of him, or anything similar. It might be that he has no idea about what the likelihood of signing him was, or it might be that he does but can't say. Either way, you are talking shit.

You ever stopped to think why he calls GG Richard Gere? You wonder why he's not been corrected off air?

I thought he did a good job yesterday and his summarising was spot on. As for expecting him to get his info from the Argus ...

Warren Aspinal is a scout for the Albion presumably in England as i understand it this African lad plays in Europe so why should he no much about him did anyone before the Argus report.Also why would a scout be present at a trial? that is to impress management not a scout, he also said during the phone in that the club were looking at strikers but coulndnt name them, i suspect a decision will be made when the club no the outcome of these targets. One thing for sure we need goals and soon!

I think the Wazzler is an entertaining listen on SCR. Love the Gere and El Hab, but most of his comments from a footballing perspective are pretty much spot on.

He probably said he didnt know anything about him, cos he didnt want to try and pronounce his name, that would have taken him till after midnight to say that correctly

I agree, I enjoy Warrens massacring of the players names, and his insights into the game. He also spots detail that the commentator misses. I get more idea of what's happening on the pitch from his remarks than I do from the commentary.
Even the commentator was infected by it yesterday and by the end of the match was calling Greer, Richard Gere.

I suspect that Warren knows more about the goings on at the Albion than most posters on here. He certainly knew all about the Bognor player going for a trial at Newcastle and the reasons why we are not interested in him.

He corrected Johnny Cantor a couple of times yesterday over a foul that wasn't and a throw in decision.

I personally find the commentary of Albion matches depressing even when we are playing well. If you can't see what is going on you want the action to be described but they don't seem to be able to do this for more than a couple of seconds without filling in with useless information and talk about players who they can't even pronounce properly.

Forget the Albions guest commentators and get somebody who can do the job and who has as least learned to speak fluent English.
 






His malapropisms are no worse than Sir Norman Gall and he clearly reads the game very well. Anyone who heard Hinshelwood's attempts at radio commentary last season would take Aspinall any time, any day, any week. Anyway, in years to come you'll be telling your grandchildren of the fun of listening to Aspinall's mispronunciations. It's all part of the pantomime.
