Where was Thommo today?
Horton didn't even do the after match interviews. Hone did them. Never heard Thommo doing any aftermatch interviews.
Thommo for me. Much prefer comedy
Spot on, they do ok.Not sure I like to have to choose to be honest. Neither are bad. In terms of being a better co-commentator Mark Hone seems to be a better all round package, but Thommo is extremely knowledgable, has plenty of past experience and stories and has great dynamic with Hortin.
Listening to other BBC commentaries, I think we have it very lucky
Both Thommo and Hone offer wisdom, knowledge and enthusiasm/(dry wit) The problem is both of the commentators, one of which is a producer and probably quite talented at that but not a commentator especially as nil research is evidenced throughout the programme and he can't even identify the Lincoln players correctly. That is before his heavy breathing and answering questions before he has asked them. Makepeace is a better commentator than Sportin but his style and outlook reminds me of really bad student radio especially his Friday night debacle.Not sure the co-commentator is the problem.
A little like Dean "when I was at Carlisle" Walling in the Echo?Watching on ifollow I much prefer the opposition commentary. Apart from getting sidetracked by doing local radio bulletins today’s duo were pretty good. They knew more about our team than Radio Lincs lot do. I dont like when opposition players are identified by numbers or positions like the Lincoln left back or Lincoln’s number 23. Listening to other commentators make our lot sound shockingly bad especially when you have the pictures to highlight their mistakes and lack of player knowledge.
The annoying thing about Mark Hone is his continual self referencing such as ’ when I played I did this or that’ and in his interviews he always says ‘ I thought this and that, do you agree’. Just tries to make out he has more insight than he really has. Not keen on his southern twang on the radio either.
