Ian Buxton's Bat Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 21 minutes ago, Crewton said: I enjoyed last night's Sport scene, particularly because it didn't have anyone from the fan panel (some of whom are great, but some of whom get away with saying things which are inaccurate or just plain wrong), though the caller who questioned whether Adams had been "found out" had me pulling my hair out. As for the Rams TV coverage, I think it's far superior to anything I've seen at this level and is probably better than most clubs at Championship level. Agree. Mainly because of the objectivity imo. I watched the Debrief on Sunday and commented to Mrs Bat that it's always good to see that @Owen87ITK and SB can be critical when they feel it's appropriate rather than it being some sort of club Pravda output.

alexxxxx Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) I like the rams daily podcast. Living far, far, away from derby its a great way of keeping up to date.. along with RamsTV. It'll be a massive shame when the BBC run out of money and they have to have one broadcast for each game. Back in the mel era when I guess the budget was a bit higher, I really enjoyed the RamsTV meets series.

Having the commentary etc on RamsTV and the daily podcasts made moving away from Derbyshire a lot easier - I'd be lost without them. It was great to hear Ed Dawes back commentating (although I liked Dom's commentary as well) and I enjoy the different personalities they have on each week. Some are arguably better than others and some more biased than others but when you listen to local coverage you expect a bit of that, its not like you're listening to a generic game on Sky this is our club!

DB83 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Question: do BBC Radio Derby have an archive?? In particular, Derby County commentaries, and specifically back to the Graham Richards era (early 80’s onwards, was it??)?? The reason I ask is that there are of course a few YouTube videos preserving the magnificent GR commentaries, but I know that there was so much more. Preserving more of his commentaries would be something I could get passionate about tbh. If anyone has any clue how to do this, I’d be very interested to know more. It would be a tragedy if the voice of one of the best football commentators ever were to be mostly lost. Let’s not wait until he dies to begin this project.

RadioactiveWaste Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 So this Saturday brings a choice, Watch cars going round and round and listening to radio Derby, or a trip abroad and listening to 5 live talking about the cars going round and round.... As yet undecided. Ram Logan Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve noted he’s been more positive in the last two matches and when he has been negative has paused and changed subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Lino Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 To be fair to Ed it must be very difficult to commentate on Derby games this season which on the whole have been dull even when we win. Ted McMinn Football Genius and archram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB83 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 It is of course totally the fault of Ed Dawes that we have lost the last two games. But, I also wore a new jumper. So, as much as I hate to say, it may well be my fault rather than Ed’s… sorry everyone 😝 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted Sunday at 12:31 Share Posted Sunday at 12:31 I'm happy for Ed Dawes. I have no problem with his commentary, his passion for derby and I am so happy he was able to sign off what has been a crazy couple of years the way he did. That was up there with anything I heard from Graham Richards, the legend. maxjam, eccles the ram, Crewton and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted Sunday at 12:46 Share Posted Sunday at 12:46 The thing with Ed Dawes, is it's easy to forget there are much much worse commentators littering local radio coverage. He's genuinely not that bad, and imo much better for the absence of the rammage banter. He cares, he does his best, he's frequently been on the end of fans venting frustrations far beyond not liking his commentary. Graham Richards, Ross Fletcher, Colin Bloomfield (who was not a natural sports commentator and really had to work at it) Owen, Dom, Colin Gibson, Radio Derby genuinely do a really good job of covering DCFC and I'm pretty sure that's because they do love the club beyond doing the job.

maxjam Posted Sunday at 12:53 Share Posted Sunday at 12:53 I had the choice to go to either the pub or the golf club yesterday to watch the match live but decided to stay home and listen on the radio - the passion and genuine feelings towards Derby made it a memorable afternoon and, for me at least, much more enjoyable than going out to watch in a pub in North Yorkshire! They have their critics, but personally speaking I have really enjoyed the matchday team on Radio Derby this season. Its been good to have Ed Dawes back and I hope he sticks around for a good while longer. RadioactiveWaste and eccles the ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
