Chissy in normal life

Leave Brett alone. I like him. The fact Chissy gets a lot wrong is a problem on the radio but this idea that Brett is unprofessional? He's a bloke watching a game of football. What do you all want? Elocution lessons and him in a starched shirt?

I don't think they have access to any replays or pictures which makes the analysts job quite tough in comparison to proper TV football. I like him, he's honest enough to say 'I don't really know what happened there' and if he hasn't got a replay what's he supposed to do? When your actually at a match, you often miss stuff cos your watching a runner or conversely watching the ball and the incident is off it or whatever.

Sky coverage has really raised the expectation of what analysts do. Going back 30 years, the commentator used to throw to the analyst very occasionally for a comment on a period of play. Now people seem to expect local radio analysts to be operating multi camera multi angle replays and drawing pictures in radio waves that appear in front of them. Why? You can see the game yourself, why do you need someone else to interpret it for you.

I've always thought Sky coverage infantalises the football fan. It's like having someone cut your dinner up for you and put the food in your mouth all the different people telling you what you should think about every little nuance. It's a football match. It ain't that complex. Pick up your knife and fork and chew yer own food you lazy gets.

When I am king all TV games will have a 60 second intro and outro and be commentated on in the style of Brian Moore and Barry Davies. The odd word here and there, leaving the viewer to it. Teamsheets before the game, quick replay of the goals after it. Any panels of 4 ex pros talking about an offside for an hour will be deported to Siberia. Give me Brett and 'well, y'know, it's one of them innit, sometimes yer offside, sometimes yer not' any day over a contrived and staged rant from the sky 'characters'

Chissy is (aside from any history) increasingly terrible but I agree, there's a sort of fun in ticking off his catchphrases and digressions.

I enjoyed last night when he went on a tangent about getting letters about a penalty last week and got himself quite cross sounding about the imaginary letters that no one would possibly send to him.

Pure Partridge.
I love Brett as well but eating , drinking and slurping into the mic is unprofessional for a broadcaster, sorry but it's a fact.
 
I sometimes think he is so busy listening to the sound of his own voice, that it is hardly surprising that trivialities on the pitch pass him buy.
The other evening he seemed to develop a eulogy about a player waiting for the ball to be returned for a throw in. A simple the ball is out of play for a Wigan throw would suffice.

Beyond irritating by now.

His commentary is rubbish. They clearly have no standards on Radio Lancashire. Surely there must be a young apprentice in the building. There is absolutely no fun in listening to his commentary and I invariably end up watching with the sound down. Its bad enough having to put up with the iFollow streaming but with him talking utter drivel over the top its as amateur as you can get.
 
I’ve just had another flashback from Tuesday when talking about how good GTF was, it was good to hear an insight from Brett, “Holloway use to call him Happy Feet, ya know like the penguin in that film”... at this point Chisnall said “I know exactly what you mean and we best end that conversation there, moving on!”

Now either Chisnall has watched some seedy Happy Feet / penguin film on Pornhub or he didn’t have a clue that Brett was talking about a kids film featuring a penguin that can tap dance??

Bizarre.

Again, deserves so much more than a thumbs up like. 😂 😂 😂

Anyway more importantly how did Chizzie pronounce Dougall 😀

I mustn't have any standards, Brett's fine.

Oh, rereading it you mean Chissy. Well, yeah, but don't stress about what you can't control and all that.
 
I don’t care if he has friends or family reading the board. He’s the drizzling shits and slated the fans during the Huddersfield match. Bumspider of the highest order that should be banned from Bloomfield Road
 
By way of comparison my lad covering cods tonight
Tough gig commentating
Have a listen for a few mins and see what you think
