On Eurosport this time for me in Spain, I could either watch it with the regular commentators like Dale and Joe etc, or this guy by himself. Sometimes I only had this guy as an option, not the regular ones, it is so strange. Why bother to employ another one for a different stream if you already have the mainstays on the matches?

Any one?

he's done the second table on stream, and maybe the solo morning gig, at a couple of home nations. everyone has to start somewhere.

is it possible he was doing the world feed? or does that just take the bbc commentary.

Now I've heard the name, I think I heard him once on Discovery+

I think it was during qualifiers, or something. It was a morning match too, I think. Can't remember the exact match, but it was something the proper commentators didn't want to do, I guess. I don't remember being offered a choice between him, and regular commentators, but then I didn't check.

It may not have been him, but it was some random dude commentating on himself. Think it was a Home Nations qualifying, that was over in like an hour and a bit. I pulled a Dan then, and was asking people who he was.

I don't honestly know who it was. It was one time, for like an hour.

I'd forgotten about it until Dan mentioned.

Was he commentating when it was on the main TV channel, or on the website?

Is it possible Eurosport aren't allowed to use their regular commentary feed outside the UK?

But they mostly had both options available. Only once could I only get Valledy. The rest of the time I had the regulars as an option.

Neither Luca only performed in one event and Ronnie not performed at all. Shaun Murphy lost first round here but been consistently the best player in 2023.

Maybe it was just a mistake that time, then.
