. .about as exiting as listening to a juggler.
even more boring than watching 
I think most sport on the radio is difficult because you really need to see it rather than listen to it, although cricket can be humorous especially when CMJ was doing it with our Henry.

I don’t know, I reckon listening to Murray Walker get excited would have been pretty good over Radio, he definetly was brilliant when watching!
To be fair the BBC have a great team now covering sport on the radio and it’s actually better to watch it on tv but listen to it on the radio simultaneously.
Last years Ryder cup was just epic on the radio. I remember being parked up in Dukinfield on a Sunday night absolutely gripped.
The Cheltenham festival is good too. Not just the races but the ambience and atmosphere from the interviews with jockeys, trainers, owners, groomers, punters and experts. I’ve no real interest in racing but it’s immensely listenable.
TMS is king though. CMJ was my favourite commentator and his passing is a big loss. But they’ll survive. I just hope he’s replaced by a journalist rather than an ex player

Totally agree,i would rather listen to footy on the radio than watch it on the box
,mainly because of all the dissection and analysis (kin ell,where did i pluck those words from?) by the so called pundits/experts.
But golf on the radio . . “Hes hit the ball . .its in the air . . .its landed” followed by a polite round of applause.
when i was a kid there used to be a ventriloquist on the radio
think his name was archie andrews (google it)
Yea I remember Archie Andrews many years ago on the B.B.C. and I thought that he would of sounded better if he had spoken a little louder. He was always sat on that blokes knee, could that of been Jimmy Savilles dad.

He wasnt that good . . you hear his lips move 
You are right about Archie Andrews on the radio. The programme was called “Educating Archie” and the ventriloquist was called Peter Brough. Also when I was a kid the radio times sent out in one of ther magazines the plan of a football field marked in squares. The comentator would say things like “Mathews picks the ball up in 15 and passes to the full back in 23” This is where the term “back to square 1 comes from”. Sometimes it is cool to be old.
