Quote ="Red John"Chill. I don't think it's any disrespect to London. With the exception of Phil Kinsella, GMR's commentaries tend to go something like this...
"Salford, on the attack...Gleeson, stopped ten yards out, second tackle....Elsewhere, Bury 0 Oldham 0 is a latest score, while Sale are in action at Harlequins and we'll be over there for an update in few minutes, Stockport's game against Halifax is off, of course....Just a quick reminder that tomorrow on Radio Manchester: full match commentary on City versus Chelsea from the Etihad - Ian Cheeseman in place from 2 o'clock, and regular updates on United's trip to QPR and Bolton away at Leeds, followed by the football phone-in, so if you've any points you want to raise arising from this weekend's matches, or any football topic up for grabs....Bury 1 Oldham 0 I'm hearing....Oh! And London could be in here...And they are in!!"
They used to use the tagline "It's just like being there" on their commentaries. As long as "being there" involved having someone in your ear for 80 minutes telling you what's happening somewhere else.'"
This is where I need one of those Facebookesque "like" buttons
