I liked Ed hadwin he was a genuine bloke as well as being a very adept commentator, but I understand there was a difference of opinion with the bosses at BBCRS much as there was with Vic.

Neither will return to the commentary team in the near future unfortunately.

Well, we know where we're goin'

And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out

Ed still does the sports reports for BBC Wiltshire. I thought the switch to doing commentaries in Bristol was something to do with being closer to home after the birth of a child. (Disclaimer - my memory is bloody awful and may have completely fabricated this)

That was what was said at the time yes, for family reasons and to help fill in with a shortfall in the Bristol commentary team temporarily.

He won't be returning to the match commentary team.

Who was the guy who used to say things over the tannoy at half time, years ago against Burnley made some comments about the dire referee. I was at the game, I thought he came up from Exeter each home game?

Having STFC Player a good minute behind real time in my opinion is a joke.

Normally twitter or even on here has informed me that we have scored and on my laptop the opposition are shooting or Wes has the ball!

It's a joke!

Totally agree there. The inconsistency is the worst thing, sometimes the BBC sport website already has 48+ mins on the clock, by the time the commentators come back online. When it's that delayed there's really no point in listening to commentary. And as for stream quality, get it sorted ffs, we are paying for this service... 

Apart from that, must say I am generally quite happy with the standard of commentary.

I'm still struck by this statement.

This needs a Sonic Youth gif.

Didn't he get sacked for that?  Stuart something?  I also seem to remember him making national news when he started crying on air when we were getting hammered one game - it may have been Newcastle away in the Premiership season?

99% sure he was Derby. D is close to C so I can see how you got confused.
Chesterfield. Which is near Derby and has some of the same letters even in the same order as Colchester so you both win.

Stuart Mac blubbed on the radio when we were getting stuffed.

The tannoy announcer that got fired after criticising the ref for sending McMahon off was a different guy though.

The half time announcement - referring to the dismissal of player-manager Steve McMahon - at the Swindon vs Bolton match that earned PA announcer Pete Lewis the sack:
"I've seen some crap refereeing decisions in my time, but that's the worst."

They need that Supporters club bloke from last season back as co-commentator. Nick was his name? Supplied decent analysis. I like the guy who's on today as well mind you.

Just to let everyone whose player contract has run out know, it's still crap. At least ten minutes behind atm.

Is Bury in Greater Manchester or the ceremonial county of Lancashire?

Do Buryese consider themselves Lancastrians or Mancunians?
