Watched the err Catalans err Bullser game err on err the weekend err Jonathan and I err couldn't err believe howerr much err worse the always err poor Ray French now is.
He's always been high pitched and Sintelins of voice which is never good in anyone, he still emits prolonged 'Oh' and 'Ooooooooooohs' rather than actually describe the action and he loves to go on about the old days far too much even for people who were actually there. However, added to his traditional faults, he now seems to be unable to go three words without punctuating them with an "err.." (he used to manage at least five) and is losing his ability to recognise players and game state.
RL needs to project a positive image whenever it gets a foot in the national terrestrial TV door and in no way can Raymondo be said to be doing that. Thank him for his hard work and put him out to grass, we must be able to do better. If all else fails, I'm sure I can spare a few weekends a year to do it myself

To be fair, he knows which 'amateur' club that every player is a 'product' from...

I get sick of hearing the word "former" whenever Ray is commentating.

Indeed, sadly never suffixed by the words "BBC commentator Raymond French" |

Never really been a fan of Ray French's, to be honest, though he 'did' as long as there was only him around, and no one to really compare him to. As soon as Eddie Hemmings came onto the scene, it just showed up how bad and dates French's style is.
Sadly he is now past it. I do wonder, though, because Dave Woods got the more prestigious game at the weekend, if Woods is now the 'preferred' commentator at the BBC now? I hope so, in any case.

This was my take on it too. Or has Ray got to get all the perks?  |
