What does he do best though ? if you allude to making crass unthinking totally inappropriate comments then yes that could be it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Steele is very good at the commentary lark despite not having much experience at it. Itll be interesting to hear Bucko, hope he has a good game! Maybe rotating a few more former players in for when Steele can’t do it would work, they have to be cogent though, so don’t give Mr “as you say” a call! I think the departure of Ramage will ultimately prove to be a good thing for RD commentary team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustOneBiblicalKazim Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I love Bucko, but he’s not the most articulate fella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a normal bloke with super powers who isn't up himself. I reckon he'll be more interested in talking about what's happening on the pitch than he will be in talking about his past glorious efforts for Derby.

And Bucko has many many more glorious moments in a Derby shirt....more than Ramage can even dream about.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, Eric has plenty of experience - used to do games with Gibbo & the gang for Radio Derby in the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hall was a genius. His insight was amazing. Just cos he had the dialect of a coal miner, doesn't mean he was miserable! Ramage was chirpy, but never enlightened anyone. Richards was novel at best. The amount of basic mistakes in commentary he made was embarrassing, but because he was eccentric and eloquent, he's held in higher regard than he should be.

The whole "he talks a good game", was perfect for him. "Win at home, a point away". I loved listening to radio Derby, I was a teenager, couldnt afford to go to the games so was glued to the radio. One of my fave moments was Graham Richard's when we were playing West Ham and they had just signed Paul Kitson and John Hartson. Richard's described them as (words to effect) "absolutely awful, two of the worst signings West ham could have ever made"...we lost 2-0, both players scoring I think.

He was one of the reasons I and many people enjoyed listening to the commentary. The way he described events was better than most commentators I have heard.

We've all got our favourites, for various reasons. To me, Ross Fletcher is as good as it gets. But I totally understand why Graham is the King to thousands of Derby fans. I also have really fond memories of Roger Davies as summariser, probably due to him being in the chair when I started working on Sportscene.

Nishfan Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I listened to Richards, Hall & Gibson, (sounds like a 70s band) particularly enjoyed when they gave out Maxwell’s fax number? i enjoyed Mark Vesty I think his name was - not sure if he commentated but he was part of the radio Derby team. you’re missed Owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed his on-air summaries, at least until I realised he censored himself for fear of upsetting the DCFC company-line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
