Stowie- couldn`t agree more about Costello-he is exceptional.
Who else was listening to the 75 Cup winners cup games on the radio? only went live for the 2nd half.
Peter Jones and Bryon Butler- one taking over from the other halfway through.

Can’t listen to football on the radio but not sure if mentioned but when boxing is on and BBC have the radio rights I do listen to Mike Costello while watching the fight on the box. Best sports commentator around for me.

The 80s and early 90s were great times to listen to football on the radio but now it’s full of squawking female commentators and shit ex professionals.

Used the love listening to Capital Gold football back in the day. Many a midweek night spent listening to our games . Jonathon Pearce was amazing before he went to the BBC and had to calm his style.

I listened the race online yesterday (usually of FiveLive Sports Extra) and mob on there are quite good and do not hype the sport at all.
If it is a dull race they will call it and have a good moan as well.

Must have listened to hundreds of our games on the wireless over the years.

Totally agree. In fact I think there are few better things in life generally than radio commentary on a Test match, particularly when there's not much happening in the game.
In contrast, I watched/listened to the F1 Grand Prix yesterday on the box. The commentator sounded as if he was having a seizure he had hyped himself up so much and was yelling so much.
Need a new Murray Walker. At least he was excitable with unique character.

He was also hilariously one-eyed towards whichever was the London based team when they were against a non-London team.
Test Match Special is my aural wallpaper of the Summer and has been since I was kid. The best radio sports commentary bar none even after all those years.

I prefer radio and usually listen to radio commentary and watch the TV with sound down. Radio tends to be less biased towards big teams and has less of an agenda. Also, they don't try to say all games are exciting and call it a stinker if it is and find other ways to entertain the listener.

Football works well and i can see the appeal of cricket on the radio, but golf ......WHY? What's the point
I actually still listen to football most games unless a mate lends me his login for streaming.

I listen to a lot of games on 5Live and Talksport and the commentaries are generally far superior to televised broadcasts.
However yesterday I was listening to the Villa game and had to turn it off cos they had some high-pitched bint commentating.

I prefer listening to radio commentary except for certain games. Jonathan Pearce is on the BBC radio 5 some times.

Are you saying that if you have the radio on and you go for a shit, you can't hear the commentary?
