Radio WM

He did a live commentary last season on a game at the same time R5 were live.

Whilst flicking from station to station - Tom is very very poor.

Yeah, I don't know how he landed that gig really.  Growing up, it always used to be a commentator (I remember Ian Crocker - the guy who is on SKY now) with Tom doing the hosting and summarising job.  Don't know if the commentary was something he wanted to do or was asked to do, but without wanting to sound unkind, he's not great in that role.

Tom Ross is more a radio show host / anchor, never a commentator really.

I'd say Paul Franks is something similar.

[damon loves JT]

'Paul Franks, radio anchor'

[N'ZMAV]

[curlytailavfc]

total ships

I listened to Tom Ross (w Ian Taylor) for the first time in years and years this week. It was awful, it hasn't moved on since the nineties. They couldn't remember the names of half our signings and just rambled on with a load of nonsense

[kippaxvilla2]

The thing is as someone has already pointed out the alternatives are relatively poor although I do like Tom. 

I find myself listening to the van gaal wankfest on the way home from holiday today on five live and I was almost thankful of getting as far as Worcester on the m5 to hear that wm twat commentating.

Listening by default I'd say.

606 (Radio MUFC) last night was hilarious.  Worth avoiding WM for any day.

Slashed budgets... BRMB/Free can't afford a commentator so Tom Ross if forced to do it. To be fair he must put in the hours over the week...

WM was on again in the car at lunchtime.  Has anyone ever heard that treasure hunt type programme with wilford.  Basically they get clues read by a poor darth Vader impersonator and have to fathom where the radio car needs to head to to get to the secret location.  It's quite hilarious listening if only for the fact that ten minutes from the end of the programme they realise they are in Smethwick and should actually have been at Sutton Park.  And also for the dimwits phoning in suggesting place names from the clues that have absolutely no link to said clues whatsoever.

I must listen to that, it sounds abosultey dreadful and very funny. Bring back Les Ross's Round the Phone Call's, that's what i say.

'Your sister is in Melbourne, Australia is'nt she Doreen'

'That's right Les'

'And you've not heard from hear for how long?'

'She rang me two wicks ago Les'

[dave.woodhall]

The best bit about Les Ross's calls were when he returned to WM and started doing than again after about twenty years, during which time the internet was invented and the price of international dialling was slashed.

Give me BRMB and Tony Butler with his shite mat and George Gavin in tow
