Think yourself lucky. A couple of years ago Radio Kent decided in their infinate wisdom that the Gills commenteries were done by a girl called Jodie Fielder. Now i've nothing against the girl per se, she does the marathon for charidee etc. Problem was Jodie knew Jack shoite about football, contrary to her press profile where she claimed to be a big "footy" fan. She had absolutley no concept of tactics, she'd get excited in all the wrong moments (substitutions, ball over the roof etc). She reffered to all Gills players as "strikers" and all oppo as "defenders". She would constantly talk over the summariser, who actually knew what he was talking about, and most infuriatingly would go positively mental if EITHER team scored, which as we all know is absolutely not on in local radio. She would start the commentary in F sharp and gradually raise the pitch of her voice until only dogs could hear her. In Wales.
I understand she was transferred to BBC North West (on a Bosman). That's up your way isn't it?
