DoubleD Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 He seems to be commentating in a greater number of matches this season. Whilst I wasn't initially impressed with him, I do think he's improving to be quite a good commentator. Certainly better than Bill Arthur but not as good as Dave Woods in my opinion. I wonder if Sky are lining him up to take over from Eddie eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man of Kent Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Yes, and Rod Studd seems to have been binned off. A shame, as Studd could've been a good replacement for Hemmings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapski Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Studd is doing a lot more darts. And if the fixtures were reversed for the tv companies i.e. Wire/Wigan Hull/Cas had been on Sky, Proe would have been nowhere to be heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auntie Linzi Morris Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Ben Proe. "Celebrates his nth birthday on insert any day within a fortnight or so of the match being commentated upon." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leaguefan13 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I don't think he's too bad and like someone has allready said, he's a better commentator than Bill Arthur. Nothing against the women but how is Angela powers still working for sky. Her aftermatch interviews are cringe worthy and every time she speaks on air it sounds like her first time.

Just Browny Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Isn't it just because Eddie really hates the 'distraction' of the Challenge Cup and won't go anywhere near it? I think Ben is ok - he certainly doesn't try to be deliberately 'challenging' like Studd, or moan endlessly about inconsequential things like Eddie. Proe and Arthur just describe the game with a minimum of fuss and flourish, which is fine by me. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

OMEGA Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Don't like Studd as a commentator he talks over everything in a constant barrage of bull tish. I often have to turn off the volume to give my ears a rest and just get to appreciate the match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolford6 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Bill Arthur is a bgood commentator and engages with his colour commentators. I really like him. There's nothing wrong with Angela Powers, either. Under Scrutiny by the Right-On Thought Police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
