Official Colin Fray thread/poll

[goatboy]

Listening to the commentary today, Fray is conveying the action as Birmingham come back at us in a really clear, invigorating way, he keeps pace with much of the pinball action and that's not something often done well at Fray's level. I like him, he's good.

 

[Jonathan]

Fray's brilliant. When I listen to any other clubs' commentary when ours fails for any reason, they're nothing in comparison!

 

[Beasty]

I remember watching the highlights of the peterborough game on player, good god there is no room to complain about Fray after I heard how disastrous he was.

 

[puds1970]

Maybe another Forest commentator destined for greater things via Radio 5 live.

 

[goatboy]

I wouldn't be surprised, shame as he gets on so well with John.

 

[Benchwarmer]

I began listening to the coverage on BBC R5L Sports Extra.. and quickly turned it off because it was shocking. They only commented on the happenings of the actual game from time to time and preferred to deafen the listener with useless statistics and constant information of other scores.

Colin Fray and the team FTW!

 

[B Block Red]

used to prefer Fletcher and Birtles on Century, but Colins alright.

 

[Zeus]

I love him! Yeah okay so it can be pretty Biased and pro forest at times.............. But Im a forest fan and thats what I want to hear.......

"Milwall went ahead through *Insert name** but Kris Commons has equalised for the other lot!" haha

 

[T.B.T.]

I adore Colin Fray and formerredscaptainjohnmcgovern!

They're a fantastic companion for matchday and I wouldn't have it any other way. ;D

 

[Strummer]

...and I still get goosebumps listening to him practically explode during the last game against Yeovil when we went up:

"...AND CHELTENHAM HAVE SCORED! CHELTENHAM TWO, DONCASTER ONE!"

 

[eezzeetiger]

I liked Fletcher, and i like Fray, hope we keep him....Much Better than the Notts County twunt

 

[chib-e]

Love Fray!
Hate Birtles!
Nuff said!

 

[Baronvon]

Fray's excellent - a fact that is all the easier to appreciate after sampling certain other local commentary teams.

I heard part of Coventry - Doncaster the other week from the perspective of the away side...sounded like they were reading out the menu for a school cafeteria.

 

[tcred1]

Colins excellent he gives it to us from a fans perspective and he gets rightly excited when we are doing well. I enjoy the coverage if i cant get to the match.

Fletcher was a good commentator, but didn't like his phone-in persona at all. He's also very good at the 'evening with..' type things he does down at The Approach.

I really like Colin as a commentator, passionate with the right level of biasedness.

 

[Tnewton_1988]

I thought their would be no one better than Darren Fletcher from Century but over the seasons Fray has become more likable.

 

[Kier]

Fray is OK, nothing more. Like most things BBC he is functional and fine without being particularly entertaining.

Fletcher is a very talented commentator, reflected in his rise up the commentating world. He was an arse on his phone in show, shouting down people who disagreed with him.

 

[winnits]

That prompts an interesting thought, I think that Fletcher is better at what he does - ie, fairly unbiased commentating on teams as a neutral. It's a different job working in local radio though which is why I like Colin better. He's unashamedly Forest-biased with a hint of neutrality.

I know Fletch still live in West Bridgford but is he a Forest fan or a Man Utd fan? As he help launch MUTV.

 

[winnits]

No idea, and don't much care!

 

[Kier]

I have heard Flectcher commentate a few times on 5 Live and when Tottenham were playing, he got as many Forest references in as possible 8)

 

[RRRREDUN]

I can't hate Birtles - he was a star when he was playing. Fray/McGovern are just the job - I don't want to hear detatched neutrals commentating on Forest. I want to hear a passionate fan biasedly telling me what I want to hear.

 

[mouldy]

I enjoy listening to him but I did notice he was getting Blackstock mixed up with Wes when Blackstock was playing deep late on :S how can you get them 2 mixed up!!!!

 

[nffcforever]

Don't care.
Only thing i listen to is me and my fellow trickies bouncing around to celebrate another win/away draw!
