    Cliff Pike

    Could someone ask him to include some excitement in his voice. With no crowd, a good commentator can add some atmosphere. Cliff is as boring as Martin Tyler.

    If there's anything to moan about, Cliff’s commentating ain’t it. It’s Hibs TV not Sky Sports mate

    I think he’s great.

    No complaints here.

    Maybe it's because there is no excitement.

    Cliff is a class act who has been doing this for years, absolutely no complaints here.

    Nothing to get excited about to be fair.

    He used to go mental, genuinely screaming down the mic at goals.

    Wonder if he’s been told to tone it down a bit.

    He’s probably as bored as the rest of us watching that!

    Cliffs delivery is quite quiet but I prefer that to some of the more forced shouting down the mic. Of others - all about preferences.
    Glad they sorted out that rustling mic (I hope)

    Would sound a bit daft echoing round an empty stadium.

    We should give fans a chance to do it.

    To be fair, how can you get excited at that garbage.

    We are awful to watch.

    I mean we can be an incredibly boring team to watch with zero zip or pace so I can understand why he might not sound excited all the time

    No problems with him other than him thinking that was an entertaining game!

    Cliff is very good and is much more like a proper commentator than any of the other clubs' commentators that I've heard, which I'm glad about.

    I really like Cliff and he gives up his time for nothing to bring us commentary and he does a good job. Having listened to some other clubs commentators Cliff is one of the best.

    United we stand here....

    I know some clubs will have people doing it for the first time this season but he really is a cut above them all in my opinion in regards to the club commentators. I think if you were a neutral or an opposition fan you could still enjoy watching the Hibs TV coverage while also not sacrificing the bit of Hibs bias we like as well.

    Absolutely, you only have to see how bad it is when Cliff can’t make it to a game.

    I liked his Simon and Garfunkel analogy, seemed to go straight over Tam's head. Tam was probably googling what teams they played for

    I think Cliff and Tam do a great job.

    Don’t mind whispering Cliff, and Tam provides a decent analysis too.

    Cliff used to be more enthusiastic which I liked but he’s doing a decent job. Tam McManus is decent too.

    Having enjoyed Hibs tv from afar for years this is a strange post. Cliff and the team are excellent.. can we not find something more worthwhile to complain about. It's getting depressing reading the forum nowadays

    Cliff is cool

    When you are abroad and you sneak back to your Apartment in the middle of the day when it is 100 degrees outside and you switch on your laptop log in and you hear his dulcet tones you think to yourself ‘Ah that is HIBS TV’

    Only mad dogs and Hibbys !
