    A real shame, think he’s great and his dad jokes with goal scorer’s names crack me up. A very hard act to follow. 
  • Impossible act to follow - Havent watched Soccer Saturday for a good few years now, even when Charlton arent playing.

    Hasn't been the same since they got rid of Charlie, Matt and Phil.  Now it's just on in the background while I get on with other stuff (mainly spamming F5 on the matchday thread)

    Real shame, Jeff supports a lower league side an appreciates the football world doesn’t cease to exist outside of the top 10 in the Premier League. Almost certain to be replaced with someone who hasn’t a clue, but fits the modern view of who should be given the job. Be like when they replaced Danny Baker with David Mellor, who knew nothing about anything football related outside of bloody Chelsea.

    Don’t blame him. The new panel he has been lumbered with are bloody awful. He’s best off out of it!

    Replace Jeff with Danny, sorted!

    Used to love Soccer Saturday but lost all interest with all the changes they made. Michael Dawson is beyond painful to listen to

    Always liked Jeff though hopefully he gets a decent gig somewhere 
  • Has he been cancelled or leaving on his own accord?

    Why would he be “cancelled”?

    Not cancelled. It's his decision.
    And he said he's not retiring. So if Minto ever decides to bugger off........

    Give it to Clinton Morrison. He's the only real candidate.
    They’ll hopefully give it someone who can speak English.

    Get back to LBC where you made your name Jeff. Sky is a busted flush anyway.

    Will be sorry to see Jeff Stelling go, he does a brilliant job.  Julian Warren would be the obvious replacement.

    Interesting. Somethings obviously jarred him off, if it is in fact his decision. Not buying the whole want to let someone else have a go line.

    Time to bin the format and think of something new.  He’s a true pro but it’s had its time

    It's been obvious he's just been going through the motions since Thompson, Nicholas and Le Tiss were binned for a "younger, more diverse panel". And he said at the time he wasn't happy with the changes.

    They'll get your man Julian Walters to replace him

    Dion Dublin - He's on everything else I switch on, might as well give him that n all

    He is the gold standard of live score reporting. 
    He wasn’t happy when Sky replaced the oldies with the newbies, and now they will pay the price. 
    New job already lined up I bet.

    If she's not prime minister by then of course.

    The guy that does the midweek scores is brilliant and a ready replacement.

    Geoff is a massive part of my growing up watching football just like someone like Motson. Absolute legend.

    Julian Walters, yeah he 100% deserves to get it
