    BBC Radio Leeds give City poor coverage compared to Leeds & Town who have fans doing the commentary who have been doing it for years.

    We have Jamie Raynor who prefers cricket & sounds equally as excited when the opposition score.

    Filipe Morais & Mark Bower are good but all Gary Jones does is moan & Andy Kiwomya MSC is clueless.

    Katherine Hannah yesterday said that Baldwin was out of contract in June but he has another year left. Don’t comment if you haven’t got a clue !

    It was better when they had someone like Derm Tanner doing it who knew what he was talking about.

    Hopefully if we are promoted they will make an effort to improve their coverage.

    Their coverage is much better than it was on the Pulse with Tim n Stix blaming everything on the ref. As for fans doing the commentary,Adam Pope who does commentary for Leeds Utd he’s a keen Everton fan. Agree that Morais is the best and like Bower who manages Guiseley probably isn’t always available but Raynor is very good and passionate when we score.

    I love kiwomya's commentary! You say the others have fans commentating the kiwomya celebrates is quality to hear, wish he was on every week.
    Think morais is very balanced and good to listen to aswell

    I'd rather listen to someone who can string a sentence together using proper words.

    Each to their own, but he's dreadful.

    Being enthusiastic is ok but you’re describing what’s happening on the pitch and AK just doesn’t do that.
    I could go on and be enthusiastic but it doesn’t make me a broadcaster

    If you’re listening on the radio you need more description of what’s happening.

    Grunts and screams just don’t cut it for me.

    My lasting memory of Derm Tanner is when he blurted out: "Oooh, did you see that?!" :laughing:

    I couldn’t agree less with the OP, I think Jamie Raynor and the co commentators are really good (some more so than others without slagging individuals off). But Raynor does a really good job for me, and isn’t afraid to ask the slightly more challenging questions

    At this moment in time I just don’t give a dam…just as long as we get promoted…

    Exactly.
    I know, we've moaned about the match yesterday, we've moaned about Baldwin, we've moaned about GA.
    Let's moan about the radio so posters on here can moan about me moaning.
    Jesus!!

    Kiwomya is horrendous. A commentator should be able to add pictures in the minds of listeners so that they can almost see what is going on in their heads. With Kiwomya all I get in my head is a dull ache as I try to desperately decipher the code he's speaking in.

    The point is Pope sounds like a fan where Raynor doesn’t.

    At least Kiwomya shows enthusiasm whereas Gary Jones just moans and slags the players off.

    Probably best not to share your private kinks with a football forum m8.

    Can’t be doing with Jamie Raynor. Has very little understanding of the game in my opinion a lot like Sam Matterface. I prefer to hear from someone who has played the game.

    My only grumble with Radio Leeds you can’t get the service on the way home when both Leeds and town are playing.

    That’s because Jamie Raynor is a Man U fan. But I disagree, he does get excited when we score and does a good job on the commentary.

    Let’s face it we could be stuck with Tim Steere - now he was dreadful.

    That’s what the co-commentators are there for.

    If you are criticising the generally excellent Jamie Raynor then I can't take your post seriously.
