Gary Jones / poker godfather

[Karabiner]

Whom Roy kept referring to as Bernt !

Not to mention his wholesale slagging of Martin Smith, who was obviously to me , very nervous.

 

[owner]

What was it he said about Martin ? something like "Call yourself a poker professional ?  you're a disgrace" or similar.
No need for that. If he doesn't like his play say so, but in a constructive way.  No need to try and belittle him.

I thought Roy the Boy was out of order commentating on last nights Poker Million. Always goes to far in his criticism.

described Martin Smith calling himself a pro a digrace and an insult to the intelligence of genuine proffessional players.

I've said it before and I'll say it again,
WILL SOMEONE PLEASE GET BRINDLEY OFF MY TELLY?!

he's rude, opinionated and completely ruins the viewing experience. It's not like football where you can watch it with the sound of if you choose. You need to be kept up how much has been bet so you need commentary. NO MORE ROY BRINDLEY PLEASE

Entertaining tho.

Maybe, but, reading between the lines, I don't think Adam is overly keen on Roy......

on the tables, Roy is charming and pleasant company..or at least I have found it to be so

I myself prefer other "colour" commentators...Padraig is hilarious, Ulliott very funny, Gary Jones good, Barney back in the halcyon LNP episodes excellent and I could listen to Vicky Coren all night ( )

but just because you don't like his style, doesn't mean he's a bad person

Roy reminds me of Geoff Boycott, always says how HE would have played it better.  Don't get me wrong I think there is a place for critique in the commentary, we don't want to listen to some sycophantic drivel all night but we don't need to belittle players just because they play a different game to the commentator.

Boycott has mellowed dramatically since his throat cancer, and is actually much better to listen to, hugely knowledgeable without the "it was better in my day2 syndrome

Fred Trueman on TMS was the worst tho' "in my day i'd have done a shift down pit before bowling 40 overs a day never bowling a bad ball" drone drone drone.

Your point on Roy is valid in my opinion

My guess is that he's trying to market himself as the bad boy of poker. By the sounds of it, it seems to be working.

Fred never droned! He was actually named Radio Broadcaster of the Year once. Forget when.

[Splash]

I would have liked to see him commentating on his heat of the BPO

[tikay]

Fred never entered the BPO.

Yes - he played a terrible heat.

He droned, as Professional Yorkshiremen have a way of doing.
