He got the boot for that if I recall correctly?I preferred Malcolm Allison’s reaction during radio commentary, not sure it was against but they scored against us. It most have been an away match as I would have been there instead of listening. Anyway, I recall Allison saying “F***ing hell” as we conceded, there was a gap in commentary, after the brief pause, it resumed sans Allison.
I hope I’m not the only person who remembers this?
Great! Someone else remembered!He got the boot for that if I recall correctly

Stoke being the prime exampleI like his commentary myself. Our commentators have always had humour and personallity, you don't half hear the difference when you listen to other clubs absolute dross.
I remember that, was funny. I think he did it more than once as well. I think it was against Newcastle when Asprilla scored, might be wrong.I preferred Malcolm Allison’s reaction during radio commentary, not sure it was against but they scored against us.

Commentating must be a tough gig. Listen to Brownlee's early ones. He changes a lot through the years. No idea how you would follow him.
100% agree. They make a decent team. I don't mind the humour and the "bantz" (cringe emoji) the only thing I would ask him to work on is differentiating his commentary when we score and when the opposition score. Because otherwise he does a decent job.Whenever you have to watch the away teams ifollow their commentary teams are absolutely atrocious. You can then hear what a good job Drury and Maddison do.
Exactly thisI would ask him to work on is differentiating his commentary when we score and when the opposition score
Or what he was drinking.The Malcolm Allison incident was Newcastle at home in the 1995/6 season. It was a big match. He was working for Century Radio. It showed he cared, but he lost his job.
Maybe Drury needs to swear more to show he cares to get people onside. Maybe even go one better and do a Ron Atkinson.The Malcolm Allison incident was Newcastle at home in the 1995/6 season. It was a big match. He was working for Century Radio. It showed he cared, but he lost his job.
