Frankie and Danny - Thank You!


The Situation said:
Danny has confirmed that Frankie was overcome with emotion and unable to get his words out after Watson's goal, so seeing that he decided to step in and take over.

He wasn't the only one, I couldn't speak for about 5 minutes afterwards :lol:

Fair play to him for even trying. I couldn’t have commentated on a game of that magnitude for us 🤣
 
I think most premier league clubs have streaming and commentary for their reserve and under 18 matches, seems a good thing to keep them on for that?
 
Didn't even think about this. Gutted about it as they've been a massive part of our journey over the past 5/6 years, especially during the Covid season.

Love Frankie. Can tell he's just a massive fan and his commentary has come on loads since the beginning. He worked for the club before this so I imagine he'll continue.

As has been said, Danny Collins is an excellent summariser and pundit. Far far better than many currently on Sky and the BBC. He also comes across as a top lad. Every time I watch their commentary I feel bad for giving him stick for making a couple of mistakes in a 3-2 home defeat against Plymouth in 2006.
 
Just watched their commentary. Frankie is weirdly quiet after both goals and full time, maybe emotional but Collins just about takes over full comms for a while.

The Premier League broadcasting deal unfortunately means no more in-house live streams such as SAFSee, and as such no more Frankie and Danny during games.

Not sure that Danny will read this, but I'd imagine Frankie as a MLF probably gets on here.

Whilst they will be missed, with the best will in the world I hope we don't have their streams for many a year as it will mean we are still in the big time!

Just thought I'd create a thread to acknowledge them and say thank you. For us exiles, they've been part and parcel of our matchday experience twice a week for the last 5 years, and I for one will miss them.

Danny's insight and knowledge as a relatively recent and hugely experienced EFL player was always eye opening especially in terms of breaking down opposition that wouldn't be overly familiar to us as fans, and the passion that Frankie displays as an MLF really shone through.

IMO, Danny would be a great fit for Sky's EFL coverage, but I hope we don't lose him.

Regular viewers will be well versed in Frankie's "have you ever......Danny", and Danny's "goal" or "there it is" after an opposition goal, but I'll end this thread with their finest moment. If any SAFC fan in that stadium could have spoken during Ballard's winner, the below video is exactly what they would have said.

Thanks lads and hopefully you will be still be involved in some way, shape or form in the PL.

Love them and have enjoyed every moment of their commentary... even when Franky gets excited about us winning a corner. Top blokes. They will be a great miss from our football experience.

I get emotional everytime I hear it.

For people complaining about him, look at the main one for sky who just shouts the players name when he shoots. Or at full time or after a goal sets off on a Shakespeare esc ramble about whats just happened. Thats tedious.

Annoying that isn’t it. ‘It’s mo Salah’ just as he shoots. Think it’s Jon champion?
