TC has more experience than most ex rugby players at broadcasting.
I certain don't get the 'frequent' mistakes. I don't find he makes any more mistakes than the TV equivalents with far more technology to support them.

I'm happy for him to stay, but saying that, if we want to get someone more professional to do it I wouldn't have a problem, as long as TC keeps his inheritance roles if he wants to.

I like TC he’s been very good at commentating the games.
He was at his best on the radio where he was one of the most listenable and knowledgeable commentators for years.

Ian Brooke and David Wandless were arguably the best team of commentators we’ve had, they bounced off each other, had a bit of fun at each others expense but were knowledgable and had just the right amount of passionate home bias

Don't mind TC, but have to disagree with you about his mistakes.
Especially re players names in every game...
And its our players as well as the opposition ones.

I have this on VHS and love the repeats of "ADAM HUGHES !" at ever increasing volume as Hughesy gallops down the touchline around 7 minutes in. Unforgettable part of an unforgettable game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1EiBrefgyE

Just to be clear,my criticism of TC is nothing at all to do with his accent,but his very frequent mistakes in commentary.If we are appealing to a bigger and newer audience wouldn't it be better to get the product as good as we can.I watch all the the broadcasts and enjoy them, but just think they could be so much better.

I get where you're coming from I just don't think his mistakes are very important, they are part of his charm.
Mistakes aside, he is obviously close to the club and he brings that proximity to his commentary, Who else is going to know/remember or be even thoughtful enough to mention where nearly everyone on the pitch came from and who they've played for previously.
Who else is in contact with players and staff on a personal level and can relate snippets of conversations he's had with them.
Who else would hanker back in Trinity history to days gone by and shoot an anecdote or tall tale during a game.
Not gonna get non of that with mainstream, they don't have a dog in the fight, they cater for neutrals, their own bias and the quest for a controversial take on a non controversial event, its all flowery fanny with no substance.

THIS IS SPARTA

well Trinity TV at least....

Hell, I don't remember that kit, must have been a funky away strip or something.
I have a tape of Wakey Hull from 1990 or so, Brooke and Wandless were commentating.
They were doing their introductions just before the game, the girls were out with their buckets collecting donations and as they passed the commentary position the codheads chirped up with the old "get your t*ts out" chant which was actually louder on the tape than their own voices.
Completely ruined the pair of em, neither Brooke nor Wandless could say anything intelligible till 10 minutes in.
Didn't hear it at the game and I was only 50 yds to their right, but its on the tape.
Not strictly pc I know but, well...it was of its time and tbf, the codheads are still doing it 30 years later lol

22 6 I think

Think TC’s and his mistakes is he’s looking with his eyes the full length of the field whereas we are looking at a much larger image of said player through a camera lens .
