Just a thought, but when awarding their scores, could people indicate whether they watched the game live, watched it on tv, listened to the radio commentary or (as appears from a few comments on here) based their scores on random comments from other posters  and their own existing prejudices….

The EFL will need to review our submission and then determine whether we've met their requirements  - and if there is an agenda they will take some time doing that - expect an announcement on Septmber 1st.....

Just because it’s from a doctor doesn’t mean it’s true  - plenty of doctors willing to spout complete ballcocks if it suits their personal agenda…..

No that was Nixon

You don't know that - pure supposition.....

More supposition regarding the submission of the accounts - you’re becoming an expert (though not in a good way)….

We could have the entire 23-man first team squad test positive and the EFL would still insist we played the match - anyone that fancies a run out needs to make sure they've got their boots with them on Saturday....

Quite funny that people come on here criticising people for being a little bit mean about the ‘commentator’, but there are literally 100s of threads that openly abuse the owner, manager and individual players!
 
I’d be more than happy to see all ‘abusive’ posts removed on the off-chance the individuals mentioned might see them. However, from what I’ve read on this thread, it mostly seems to be reasonable criticism of the persons work (which is in the public eye and thus open to critique).  I don’t know the man personally (I walked past him on the Cromford Canal path a few weeks ago but doubt that makes us friends) so would never comment on his personality. He might be a lovely man off air. However, it is fair to say that I find his ‘commentary’ excruciating.  That isn’t being abusive, it is merely a ‘review’ (much as I might a tv show or film). If I don’t like a tv show, I don’t watch it. As it is, I can’t listen to RD. 
 
I really don’t know where people get this ‘passion’ thing from. I assume it is from people who equate endless moaning and negativity as passion (perhaps reflecting and rationalising their own way of supporting the club?). Is it the shouting that equates to passion? Not for me. Noise is just noise.  Is it, as other people say, the way that every time the ball is in our half, the inflection in his voice makes you assume they’re about to score? I must admit that I often have the same feelings, but it isn’t passion.
My Dad can no longer go to the games due to age. However, he listens to RD and I can honestly say that when we talk about the matches, it’s like we were watching two different games. If the commentary gives you the wrong impression of what has happened, then it isn’t good commentary. But then, perhaps I’m not passionate enough?

I’ve said before on here - a good commentator should paint a picture of what’s happening - Dawes couldn’t paint a fence…..

The comments about Dawes are spot on - hasn’t got a clue how to describe what’s going on in front of him and his ‘passion’ means he frequently forgets to explain what’s just happened. Coles on commentary is several levels better….

It would be fair to summise that we'd already submitted the accounts but the EFL wanted more info which we've now sent them (possibly to do with the extra stadium sale profit that the last hearing suggested we could benefit from....)
