Commentary Vs No Commentary?

[Brimcbhoy]

Just watched the highlights (of which there were many) of our game against Hibs on the SPFL YouTube site. Its interesting that there is never any commentary just the sound of the crowd. it got me wondering. Many, if not all, like to grumble (polite) about Andy Walker and various other commentators, even CelticTV gets flac sometimes.
So when watching on TV, commentary or no commentary just crowd noise, which do you prefer?

I'm a bit glutton for punishment I hate listening to it but like moan about it so I don't know?

Crowd noise over Sky as Walker is an idiot. Crowd noise over Celtic TV as it just sounds amateurish a lot of the time. BT sport isn’t too bad imo.

At least they've never uttered the immortal words...WHITS THE GOALIE DAIN TAM!!! But agreed.

Sensible, knowledgeable, honest commentary....Yes

Biased, soup taking commentary...No

Pro's and cons to both imo, but remember without commentary we'd would never have the memorable "whit's the goalie daien tom" nothing better than the screeching pain of a sevconian!

Haha your right.

Sky crowd noise only, BT usually not to bad. Celtic TV can be amateurish but I like the clips when Tam Boyd losses it with the Specsavers adverts ? HH

Pros and cons for both, easy solution would be a button on the remote to turn it on or off.

With commentary - gives context for how sensational and important a goal it was.
(Walker actually no half bad for once)

Without commentary - awesome crowd noise

 

[Brimcbhoy]

I prefer the English guy Crocker, to Walker. HH

The biased commentators can be enraging to listen to but don't you just love the sadness in their voices when the Celts are hammering the sevco? It tickles me to bits.
