Commentators for the Phoenix

Commentators for the Phoenix

Does anybody have any idea who will be commentating the Phoenix games? I really hope it isn't Fred de Jong. They need someone with a dry sense of humour who can make puns (like some English Premier League commentators) but then is able to refrain from explaining the joke to us, because then it just gets pathetic.

GREEATT TOPIC!!!! HEll no please do not have Freddy i swear he ruins it when ur watching there games. If u watch the knights last year play in Australia they were soo much more exciting to watch because of the commentating. Do not have a kiwi commentate. Either Australian or English. Maby try get a guest commentator for the opening game perhaps or something like that. Tommy Smyth. Sportscentre always talk about the a league im sure he would appreciate being the first to commentate the phoenix opening match especially against melbourne.

Gordon Irving... used to do the Kingz games until SKY were to cheap to pay his arifares.  Good Wellington lad.  

kwii accent?

Id love a English accent, makes the game sound fluid and less boring.

Not Fred do one tone jong. PLEASE. And no Mark Onehunga Sports Elrich, hes crap! Dennis Kostanos is OK I suppose, maybe Miles Davis off Radio Sport?

Derek Walker.

Is he in Wellington these days or would they have to fly him from Auckland Jam, and do you think his intro music would be acceptable ?

Perhaps the cover of the Batman theme ?

Yeah Gordon Irving would be perfect he is very intelligent and calls a spade a spade.

Graeme Hughes!!

Dont like Irving, he's Mr Negative.

i heard jessica alba was looking for a job in commentating

get Miles Davis...hes the man

Damn. I liked Freddy de Jong. I don't know why. As long as Fox Sports don't decide to do it themselves and send over Simon Hill...

Mike Cockerill!

Tommy Smyth - with a Y

gordon irving any day. well trained in broadcasting. 

I agree, great topic.  Let's hope SKY reads it huh?

Katsarnos is good at presenting would not suit to be commentator and as James Dean above states De Jong would be a very good comments man but leave it at that.

Can't be Tommy Smyth - no no no no!!!!!!!!

I'd be all for Miles Davis - he can be a crack up, a gobsh*te, has the passion and isn't afraid to tell it how he sees it.  Footballs in his blood and there'll be more than a few Mexisms coming out too.....

Assuming radio sport do commentaries who will they use? 

Iriving with Ngata and Davis (sideline)...

You'd need an anchor to work with Miles - someone straight he can bounce off.

I'd personally rather someone who didn't have a clue what they were talking about as opposed to de Jong. Maybe thats a bit, unfair but it shows how much I don't like his monotonous commentating.

What Tommy Smyth?!

jason costigan!!!!! the greatest commentater the warriors have ever seen. witty as hell. some of you may hate him but he's pretty on to it. doubt he can handle warriors, breakers and phoenix all together though and not too sure whether he knows too much about the game of football.

Martin Devlin & Miles Davis.... both football nuts and funny as hell!!

If nothing else it would give us the chance to finally assassinate him

He's an idiot.

Doesn't know sh*t from clay.

While we're at it why don't you add those wallies McIvor and Ropati.

Great call Coolian2

I vote Miles Davis. A character with passion, brutle honesty and the English accent which somehow makes it seem valid.

I would have Fred De Jong over Miles Davis as he is a clown.

De Jong is last resort. I rather don vito from viva la bam over him. We just need to get an english and ausrtalian commentator

elrick is a twat, De Jong always stuffs up his calls even with replays.... but how about Noah... he needs a job, honest, passionate and liekable. he'd be good with ngata.

Yeah - still need an Irving type - straight man and professional. Give former players/clowns someone to bounce off.
