    And to think people complained about The Pulse, saying Radio Leeds was superior. Well you all got what you wanted!

    He’s irritating. But I like his passion*


    *Passion is maybe the wrong, he just genuinely likes watching football, but then, so does everyone else.

    It’s been done to death, but for me Radio Leeds is too monotonous and boring. At least The Pulse injected some excitement into the proceedings and had some excellent guest summarisers, eg Lee Duxbury, Guy Branston.

    Jason Thornton also a much better commentator than Tim Steere. And The Pulse didn’t always moan about refs (easy argument for people).

    Although on the plus side, there is now a guy in the post match run down on Radio Leeds that runs the show and does a very good job, and only goes to Steere and Kiwomya when he needs to.

    Agree, I'd suggest as an ex-professional of 18 years he will know more than the ordinary fan with regards football matters.

    Me and the brother always piss our selves when we have to listen how everytime without fail it's "Former City winger Andy Kiwomya". It's almost like his first name is Former City Winger!!

    I must have been listening to a different Pulse, the refs got it in the neck come rain or shine and some of the guest summarisers, especially in the last season, put me in a coma.

    it was literally pointless listening to the Pulse as the commentary hardly ever reflected what was happening in the game. Thornton was completely and utterly deluded and his bizzare, rose-tinted outlook left those unable to attend games woefully misinformed.

    Radio Leeds might be dull, but atleast those tuning in aren't being mislead through fictitious commentary.

    Yeah, you'd think we were a bit unlucky to go down last season based on Pulse commentary.

    We definitely weren't, and yes, the players were disgraceful at times and boos were sometimes warranted.

    That was not an honest bunch of grafters.

    Can't remember his name, but there was an Irish boxer in the early 70's who began every sentence with "like, you know what I mean".

    He tries to use big words and gets phrases and sayings wrong all the time. Sometimes its endearing and sometimes its infuriating as its simply nonsense.

    I dont mind him but think it should be mixed with gary jones and some others. John dreyer is great on the radio.

    Wayne Jacobs was superb when he was Radio Leeds summariser, he left to join Darren Moore at West Brom and Andy Kiwomya took over and has kept it since. Kiwomya is improving in my opinion and is passionate about City but does seem a bit nervous at times. Personally think Tim Steere is very good and gives a good balanced commentary.

    Can't say I'm too bothered as I'll be going to plenty of games this year. When I do listen I normally have it on low whilst watching the box anyway just to listen out for the goals going in. Sounds like I'm lucky I miss all these little annoyances. One thing I have a pet peeve with when I do catch periods of it is that you never know where the ball is, you just know who is on the ball. I end up just going onto sky bet live just so I can see where the play is.

    I listened to him on the way home after the game on Saturday and he did actually talk sense despite my previous thoughts on his commentary on some away games last season. He did you know a lot, which is annoying, but he did eventually get his point across which was valid. He does give him opinion from an ex players point of view rather than just a fans view which is what Thornton used to do on the pulse.

    Tim Steere didn't brush up on new regulations before the start of the season. Against Forest Green he couldn't understand why Vaughan was given offside in his own half and on Saturday was confused when the referee told a substituted player to leave the pitch at the nearest touchline.
    Wayne Jacobs, John Dreyer and Gary Jones gave the listener a clearer perspective of tactics and formations than Andy K but he is improving.
