The Journeyman Commentator Games 81 & 82

<p>The life of a jobbing commentator isn’t glamourous, but it does lead to some interesting places and scenarios. The landscape of freelancing is affected by a lot of “blowing smoke” by eager youngsters, your age, your gender and finally you’re ability. The world is very cost orientated where at times quality is sacrificed over cost, thank goodness I am a cheap date! As the autumn, winter and spring months lay before me. I think, if you are interested, I will keep a diary of what matches I commentate on, where they are taking place and my thoughts going into a plethora of different teams and competitions. I will hopefully give you an insight as to my prep or lack of it, my concerns? Did you know that Xei in Chinese is pronounced more like Shee? And exactly what goes through your head when you must fill 90 minutes of radio airtime with description and PC commentary. USP is important, but I think I am one of a kind, how I have got here? and how I survive? I really don’t know. But while it lasts, I aim to enjoy it and in all fairness I have added other strings to my bow (the News pAPPer and Live Streaming) and continued to run a business outside of sport. But please remember I have no educational grades as I flunked at school, my grammar maybe suspect!</p>
