Even corrected Rob O'Neill that Wigan had brought Pilkington on as sub. Very eloquent and gave some insight into behind the scenes stuff. He's found his vocation after he hangs up his boots. Agreed. Seemingly very intelligent and eloquent individual. Makes a refreshing change as most footballers are pretty mince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daleblue Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) Like to hear him co - commentate on a weekly basis. Edited October 5, 2019 by daleblue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) He could try commentating while he's on the pitch. Blow by blow literally as the game progressess, bit like they do with rugby refs. I'd pay to listen to his thoughts as he's just about to make one of those tackles where he lunges in and gets booked.

I don't think so Better than Pellupessy but he probably played better than him just commentating and not even on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOwl Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Look, I know this is tantamount to sacrilege on here, but Pearson's commentary is nowhere near the standard that should be expected from a paid service. It was great to have Hutch on, who had plenty more to offer than screams that scare pets and "That's great goalkeeping" every time our keeper (whoever it may be) makes even a very routine stop or catch from a cross.

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Perhaps we could have a different player on every week, Bannan and Borner will be suspended soon, it would be great to have them on. Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heresy.... Pearson seemed very subdued doing the commentary for the Hull game, and at the end I'm sure they said Giles Coke was going to do the Wigan commentary. I put two and two together and assumed Pearson was down not only because of the Hull performance, but because he'd been dropped for Saturdays match. And then for Sam to turn up and put on a Big Ron Champions League like performance in the commentary box on Saturday... it's got to hurt. I wonder what happened to Giles Coke? As far as Sam is concerned, I'm not sure you can keep up that level of insight during every game though, and there comes a point where it could be detrimental. Nevertheless, when I watched these full match replay last night, the listen was as good as the performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Hutchinson was in the foundation lounge before the game....Roger Wylde explained that Giles Coke was booked to attend but Oldham pulled the plug on that happening even though they aren’t playing him Hutchinson stood in and was insightful.....said he still sees himself as a centre half (and he’s the best we’ve got - my words not his) and was also asked about Frank Lampard and John Terry He was very complimentary about Lampard and declined to comment on Terry....read between the lines on that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were all subdued after the Hull game..not surprised it was crap..and I bet he was cold up at the top of that stand. You should be used to Giles Coke not turning up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed 100 percent. Pearson offers nothing but base level observation, railing at referees, and coaching "attaboys!". Shocking that we have to pay for sub-pub level discourse in our commentary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson didn't do Saturday's match because he was in Portugal playing in a walking football competition. From what I saw on twitter they did alright might have even won. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazowl55 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Think what I found most interesting about it was what he calls all the players. Westy, Palms, Dom, Baz, Fletch, Reachy, Maz, Kads. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
