BJW Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 If he's on the commentating team for the 2 CC games today, how many tries will be described as 'simple' and how many times will they be 'simple,simple' ? He does also overuse a couple of other words but, for this, keeping it simple ! My wife complains I selfishly stop her fulfilling her true ambition - she really wants to be a rich widow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLANTISMAN Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Jiffy is still our best known commentator and apart from being a lovely person he brings a lot of credibility to our game nationwide.  Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Eel Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 These increasingly frequent '(INSERT NAME OF COMMENTATOR HERE) is rubbish' and '(INSERT NAME OF REFEREE) is rubbish' type threads are all well and good, but rarely are there any tangible and realistic alternatives suggested.

17 stone giant Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 He's probably my favourite rugby (both codes) co-commentator. It helps too that he was a playing legend during my favourite era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hallucinating Goose Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Probably my favourite commentator, he played the game, its obvious he's very passionate about the game and very knowledgeable at it and he's a well known personality which as has been said, adds a lot of credibility to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Taylor Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 The coverage today from BBC commentators have been poor today. Very unprofessional IMO. I'm a big fan of Mark Chapman, bur Jon Wilkin & JJB - just make me cringe.

DavidM Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I loved the segment on Mose in the coverage  . Great for a national audience to see his inspirational story and progress . He looks really well and I hope he continues on an upward curve and gets to live as normal a life as possible . Incredibly inspiring character . He should be presenting the trophy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yipyee Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I prefer the BBC commentry team to the morons on Sky. Jiffy does use simple a lot but lets be honest most coaches will also be saying keep it simple, do the basics etc.. also being a great player in his day he might of also found skill simple to do so is underestimating some of the skill involved.. easily done and if you watch any other sports commentry and listen out for example MOTD there will be several occasions the commentators say basic and simple.
