Re: Kelli Underwood as a footballer caller?

I think the reason why people dont like it is cause we arnt used to it..

Positive thinking, but I'd rather not get used to her...

Hi, thanks for having me on the forum.

I thought her commentary sucked, but in saying that I think they all suck. I would automatically put her above Dwayne Russell, who sounds like the blind pressing of buttons on a soundboard. The solution? The mute button.

I don't agree here. As I mentioned, I think certain voices work for radio/tv and some others don't. I don't think channel 10 have got it wrong trialling females, just think they have got the wrong one for commentary (even though she is clearly very knowledgeable).

That said I agree that they don't always get it right with the males either. Oh and that Foxsports bloke, my god, he sounds like he is reading (badly) from the teleprompter. I hate hearing him tdo the premier league highlights. Cringe.

Tautology.

Big shock I know I don't believe she's a 'teacher preacher' though

I normally wouldn't mention anything like that on here, I just thought it relevant when discussing a woman commentator.

Oh and I had to look that up too, I've just learnt something today

Yep that's the one. He must know someone in high places because there is no fluency in the way he talks which must be the first thing they look at in a reporter.

When I used to work in the construction industry, we had a sub contractor on our books who's business name was Ziggy Bobcats for memory.

Re: Kelli Underwood as a footballer caller?

Heard a bit of her calling - I think she needs a few more games to really get the swing of it. She calls fine but there is a bit of a lack of passion - it's why I like guys like BT callling, for all his detractors he makes even a boring game seem interesting.

I don't think she was to bad - good on her really. But I have to admin it was pretty wierd and a little off putting. It will only be a matter of time before we would get used to it.
