This boy has had a shocker today . First off he said caton was playing which ok , maybe wasn't his fault . He got numerous numbers of players wrong . Then at the end he said replacing number 3 demetriou is number 3 Ben burton!! The bloke has lost the plot . He's useless . How many times he thanked and payed tribute to watfords fans I don't know! Nobody ever thanks is us at away games !! (The only one I can remember is Lincoln ) . God knows what time he's going to have to start announcing the team against Blackpool by the time he's given every single one of them one of his nice big Shropshire welcome !! Maybe if he starts mid afternoon he might be done! Although he will probably be paying tribute to black pools state at the moment ! Jervis out !!

The guy ought to at least do his homework so he can pronounce the players names right!! He even got Lewis McGugan wrong and he's English!! ... He later couldn't pronounce ARH (goal sponsor) correctly... ?

I'm a frayed I have to disagree with you there, Bobby. He might have had a Mayor today, but I find him one of the better announcers on the whole. Impeccable manners to thank the Watford fans for making their way up to Shropshire for a friendly.
Thank you for showing our club in such a good light Ryan. I'm sure the Watford fans would have been impressed with that.

If you have been a fan for very long you would know that "Jervis" is employed by the club as a Master of Ceremonies so must be doing a lot more right then you allege that he is doing wrong. Besides Italian names arent the easiest to pronounce at the best of times. Perhaps he should hand the microphone to you, no doubt you would be 100% perfect.

Rather disrespectful to someone who has in a voluntary capacity been the club announcer for many years and has represented our club with great esteem all that time outside match days. To be fair to him the players did not have squad numbers and the team sheets were probably late in finding their way to the pa box. I am pleased that he shows common courtesy to the supporters of the away teams who have made such an effort to make the journey to the GM from whatever part of the country they come from. Hopefully it helps to portray Shrewsbury in a good light. I make no apology for supporting Ryan, someone I have immense respect for from working with him at the club and in numerous other events. Try and get chance to speak to him personally, I think you will enjoy the experience.

Did you hear him say at the start he would give us the team news as soon as he had the team sheet. Well he did that. There were 4 people sat behind me with the same sheet and to be fair it bore no resemblance to who was on the park. So not his fault at all

There's a lot worse than dear old Ryan doing the rounds. I find his welcoming the away supporters a nice touch and quite amusing when it's met with boos from the home crowd when the likes of Walsall or vale visit.
I do recall the whole of the riverside wanting Ryan's head on a stick when he congratulated Grazioli on a hat trick when he was playing for brizzle rovers who were tonking us at home one year.

Murray Walker used to make a lot of mistakes as a commentator but had passion for what he was doing like Ryan Jervis dose.

Ryan is a part of the club that goes back many many years and deserves a bit more respect than he's being shown on here. May be a useful and fun exercise to let some of you have a go at doing the announcing. I'm sure it must be easy peasy!

I can only assume that when Bobby went for his half-time wazz, he caught his old man in his zip.

I was lucky to have Mr Jervis as my history teacher back in the early 70s, and he was with Shrewsbury then, he did us proud at Wembley with the "on the pitch build up" against Bristol Rovers and he regularly contributes an entertaining article for the match programme. He just needs a pre season warm up as well and when he is back in his stride there won't be any better league two announcers, a true gent and professional.

Anyone that's been away a lot over the years will tell you Ryan Jervis is 1 of the better 1s. The Guy at Walsall always springs to my mind back in the 90s. In his defence today it must of been difficult with the chopping and changing with 30 or so players with a new squad of our own as well as a team full of foreigners.

Pre season must be pretty difficult there are suddenly lots of new players, different numbers every game, mass substitutions etc
It's hardly the end of the world if he gets a few wrong.

Love how it's come to picking up on Ryan's mistakes! (always know him as Mr Jervis)
I was fortunate enough to have him as a head teacher a few years back and his passion for everything he does is admirable.
I would love to see fellow Salop fans do the task he had to do today. Was unbelievably hard knowing who's who especially considering the teams sheets arrived at about 10 to 3!
Keep up the good work Ryan (Y)

I always think of him as a pretty good ambassador for our club and certainly one of the better match day announcers I have encountered. Hope he gives us his time for as long as he possibly feels it worth it.

Here's an idea. At half-time, Ryan could hand over to some fans who have offered their services. They could give their thoughts on the first half over the PA system, giving their ratings for each player whilst Ryan rests his tonsils. They could contribute to the commentary in the second half as it can't be easy commentating for that length of time...
