I often get the impression that their 'live commentaries' are not done from grounds but in front of a TV. Crowd noise never seems natural or spontaneous, just a muffled background noise very different to Radio Manchester doing away matches. I cannot see clubs allowing them to hang around for a few hours after matches for Collymore to get people to ring him just to listen to his predictable long winded views. Whilst on way to an afternoon home match recently, some clown said if was raining like nothing else on earth. It was raining a bit in Gorton and Clayton and I got the distinct impression he was making it up....rainy City and all that.
