David Oates and Steve Claridge. Think there was a second lead commentator but I can't remember who that was- possibly Darren Fletcher or Nigel Adderley.

You're right. I think I remember Darren Fletcher with SC and DO. I remember DF and SC talking about SC being just too young to see Hereford v Newcastle.

I think that the analyst was Ken Furfey who, in its League days, summarised on Torquay games for BBC Radio Devon.

A few extra details from yesterday:

BBC Radio Newcastle

Sunderland v Newcastle

Mick Lowes/John Anderson FM Commentary
Nick Barnes/Gary Bennett AM Commentary

Century FM

Sunderland v Newcastle

Pete Graves/Bob Moncur 101.8 FM Commentary
Chris Cooper/Gary Rowell 100.7 FM Commentary

BBC Tees

Darlington v Northampton

Ray Simpson/Craig Liddell Commentary

The other details I had have already been posted.

As Chris Cooper was commentating for Century at Sunderland (he did another game a couple of weeks ago) and Gary Weaver is commentating for Sky Football First does anyone know who XFM's commentator is for their Man Utd coverage.

To add to my earlier post, I've just thought to check 5 Live Football Daily and the reporter was Nigel Adderley, so I think the commentary team was David Oates, Nigel Adderley and Steve Claridge.

It was indeed Nigel Adderley. Aside from the actual game, it was an entertaining commentary - Steve Claridge is usually good value

I presume Ingham/Green will be in Austria on Friday
I also think Brown will do the Wales game and Murray will be at Hampden (maybe with Roddy Forsyth) with the likes of Oates/McNamara/Dennis etc at the other games

I'm guessing the Bournemouth/Franchise match (also live on Sky) was also covered on BBC Solent and/or its Dorset variant.

I'd have checked, if I was mad enough ...

I checked online and it was on 'BBC Dorset', but no Online Rights. Do you have any Ideas as to How Fire 107.6 cover Bournemouth matches? It's been a while since I last listened.
RobinCarmody
14-11-2007
No idea, sorry. I'm on Portland and we can't get Fire 107.6 here (although there may be a very faint signal from time to time).

Although not a commentary as such as anyone else heard the new Millwall show on South FM? As a Lions fan I'm well happy it's back on 107.3, I may even call in now we have won a game!

Due to a not-very-clever arrangement made some time ago, I am at a wine-tasing dinner in North London tonight so won't be able to hear any of the evening coverage. (Probably, for health reasons, it's just as well that I am not able to see or hear Scotland v Italy.)

Caught a bit of this, and Gavin Peacock was a Co-Commenator. No Idea Who the Commentator was (was Flicking between Stations quite a lot).

Enjoy the Wine Tasting. Will you be doing a 'Likely Lads' Style attempt at not knowing the Score?

Anyone know who did the Under 21's last night on Sports Extra?
Thanks for the info Ian
