• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

I'm sure he's useful to the club, and a good servant and all that, but isn't there somebody who could keep him away from match commentaries? I mean, he's probably a decent, hard working guy, but my heart sinks when I hear him speak. In the middle of some crucial action, to nobody in particular "There's that thing that WE were talking about" . . . . . No! YOU were talking about, to yourself. Just verbal diarrhea . . . . . . Maybe it's just me.
 
Take him over Wyndham every day of the week.

I'm quite enjoying Trundle's commentary. His grammar makes me cringe but he's quite insightful and just as grumpy when we're not moving the ball quickly as I am.

I didn’t hear it at the game.

Neither did I, but it was definitely him on the Extended Highlights. Why on earth would you think I wasn't there?

I got into the habit of watching with the sound turned off during lockdown.

KOL is annoying as f**k tbh, never shuts up and always starts a sentence with "Look".

On the subject of things being annoying as f*ck, I’ve heard 2 different interviewers after our games, a male and a female (I would assume. You don’t know what people identify as these days) but both of them on multiple times have used the phrase “it doesn’t get much better than that does it?”.
 
Every time I’ve heard him speak, he’s sounds very insightful, and knowledgeable. Wtf do half the muppets on here know better ?

Funnily enough, every time I see one of your post you come across as a bit of a muppet also :D
 
What O'Leary says generally does make sense, but he's very monotone and not particularly charismatic behind a microphone. He's basically a reverse Wyndham. Wyndham of course is the commentary equivalent of the drunken older bloke in the pub who you dread getting sat next to when there's a big game on the telly.

I can't stand Trundle's commentary personally. I remember watching our 4-1 loss at Huddersfield last season. That was bad enough but Trundle going on and on about the same thing did my fucking head in.

Honestly he's one of those that gets bored by silence so therefore has to keep talking just for the sake of it.

Wyndham and O'Leary are my preferred choices for different reasons.
