Popular Post Tinmans Love Child Posted May 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2022 https://www.football365.com/news/farewell-quest-treated-efl-just-right-respect-colin-murray-john-nicholson Nice little story on Colin Murray’s EFL programme on Quest, and the move to EFL highlights on itv4 next season. I think Colin has done a great job, he really shows that he gives a sh*t about the lower leagues, does his homework, and I always get the impression if you met him and said who you supported, he would know what’s going on with your team. Hope he moves to ITV4 with the show! 33 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 One of my favourite broadcasters, his Blood on the Tracks, At Home With and Midnight Meets podcasts are all worth a listen, fun and informative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 They got the blend absolutely spot on with Quest. Knowledgeable and likeable host, plus a good mix of ex players plus Maxwell & Elek. Hopefully all of them head to the new show. Otherwise they’ll have to go some to better it. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Indeed. The thing with Colin Murray is that he obviously loves the game and genuinely gets that the majority of people who watch the EFL highlights aren't just interested in the "big" teams. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Does superb show on 5 live for those interested. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he knows his stuff, I was quite surprised that Andy Goldstein seems quite clued up on the lower leagues too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Knows his stuff, loves his job, and is very knowledgeable. Above all else, does a good job and is extremely likeable. They'd be stupid to not offer him the job, because the format works, and he knows what is needed to make it work. The last time ITV had EFL (or equivalent highlights) they left a lot to be desired. If it's not broke...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveller Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Colin Murray is one of those few broadcasters who can move effortlessly from lightweight topics to heavyweight ones, hardly putting a foot wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendip City Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Agree, he’s a good broadcaster. Doesn’t seem very ITV to me (unfortunately). isn’t he expected to be the next Countdown host? That and 3 nights a week on Radio 5 might rule him out anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he moves to ITV4 with the show! What a great shame. Somebody who knew what he was talking about on the lower leagues. A real pleasure to listen to. How much better than the Sky team when , for example, Tim Sherwood was saying on Saturday how Kiefer Moore scored a few goals while playing for Swansea. They simply don't believe football exists outside the Premiership. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwicolin Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 He will be missed. Colin Murray showed respect for the EFL. He cared about the EFL. Very knowledgeable. Hope to see him soon, back on the tv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Always enjoyed Colin “Average Show” Murray on Talksport who left them out of principle. He has good guests too, both the pros like Sam Parkin, and also opened up to NTT20’s George and Ali. A bold move, and a pair who I think are actually better on TV than their podcast. Hoping the standards are kept. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eardun Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 There was a nice section at the end of Saturday’s show when Colin signed off plus some highlights of the last four years. Ashton Gate popped up a couple of times. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has done it temporarily before and was excellent, he loves the show and it seemed to have a bit more life about it while he was in charge. (Maybe a bit too much for the older part of their audience?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he moves to ITV4 with the show! He came down last season or the season before with Ali Maxwell & Gary Rowett to the Gate and did a programme from there. Came into the media room and walked over for a chat with me (I've not met the guy before by the way!). Asked me who I was working for, who I supported etc and then chatted for 10-15 minutes about my team knowing a lot about them for someone with absolutely no connection to them. So in answer to your comments, yes he would. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bredwood Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 ITV4 doesn't have an HD channel on Freeview unlike Quest so the picture quality will be far worse for customers who don't have Sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bredwood Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Though on the plus side, they hopefully won't use Hollowface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite his bluster and banter you do get the impression he is a real football fan that does extend beyond just supportIng Man U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
