Just listening to radio sheff. Alan the reds fan rang in on Saturday. He's on again saying exactly the same stuff. Nice bloke Alan, used to catch bus to work with him 30years ago, but I don't get the point in phoning in twice in 3 days and saying exactly the same stuff about the same stuff. Most of the callers are exactly the same on there. Mork is currently on repeating himself.
Aye. He's from Fitzy originally, lives in Cas. To be fair to him he speaks more sense than many of the regulars, just seems a bit pointless phoning to repeat his summary from Saturday.
'kin ell , I haven't listened to football heaven for about 10 years and Alan used to drive me ******* potty when he was on, depending on which manager we had at the time he would always start his grumble with "good evening!!, I want to talk about (insert any manager from the last 18 years) and as you know he wasn't my choice". Think I'll be giving it a miss for good few more years ;-) sithi.
He knows his stuff, used to scout for us back in the day, but he's a bit bi polar int he? Starts every call with "evening lads, yeah yeah" lol
That ***** Martin though ? Wtf “ can you get radio Sheffield in Scarborough Rob ?” I was pulling a pint when Bradshaw scored Rob “ we played brilliant on Saturday and he’s got to start Hammill on Saturday “ . How does he know ? He doesn’t go to games ever which he admits but he’s got an opinion on the games . How the fook does that work ? Can’t stand listening to him . And the usual suspects , I give you Brian the miller , not many benny ffs . Mork the pitsmoooor owl ? What’s he on ? . I’m off to sit in a dark quiet room for a bit ! UTR
I hardly ever tune in these days but when I used to Brian the Rotherham fan used to call in almost every day.
Only listened for half hour. He hadn't been on by that time. If they'd won I'm sure he'd have been first on.
People who don't go who ring it grinds my gears ... .but not as much as the Pitsmoor Owl. It's the accent.
Was it him that constantly said "watchemercallit". I had to turn it off when he came on. I still do when they phone Bri the blade. Or anyone who can't actually speak - which on a setdi is about 30% of the callers.
Was Brian the Eckington Blade, used to be Brian the Blackpool Blade after moving from Eckington but now back in Eckington so once again the Eckington Blade, on tonight? Rob Staton usually rinses him for it, not sure that Brian has caught on either.
He's got quite a few catchphrases. Not many Benny is one that stands out but yes I think he does say watchemercallit frequently. He also likes to say licked a lot.
Barely listened it in the last few years but used to do my head in when you’d get callers phoning in who’d not been to the game. Rob Staton - ‘phone in & give us your verdict on the match’ Caller - ‘Rob, I’ve not made it to game today, how did we play?’
In ‘I think’ 1979 or thereabouts, Robert Jackson was the host and Sheffield United had just been relegated to the 4th Division. An owl ‘I think’ phoned in and informed RJ that had he heard that Sheff. United were to be renamed Castletown United. Robert asked why that had happened, and the ‘owl’ replied, “it’s because they’re beyond Hope”.
No that’s Paul the miller Brian the blades is usually “what wilder should do now if he wants to win is play (insert name )
The ones who ring in and give one word answers get me, Rob and the team try their best to coax more out of them, nerves maybe, I'd have to be fairly pissed to ring in.
