You don't like Allis, seriously? He's the best by a mile. Renton wishes he was Allis.
When there is nothing left to talk about on a sunday afternoon, waiting for the leaders to make their way up the 18th, he is the only one to listen to. The old artificer.
It has mellowed some as time has gone on, but yeah he is not one of my favorites. Maybe it has mellowed because I would be hard pressed to say which broadcaster I can listen to. They just all have different things that make them hard to listen to. Maybe it's a European thing but I can't see how someone could love to hear him picking people out of the stands and commenting on their eating habits. Silly but just how I see it. Rentons hard to listen to as well. One positive is that the coverage is early in the am here so his "low key" (boring!) coverage is good to start the day with.
In regards to Allis, I would find it hard to have a style like his try to cover a football game (American or English style!). The only one similar would be like a John Madden...and well that would not be all that flattering in my opinion! A lot of fluff and not much substance.
Again different strokes, just giving my opinion.
