My favourite journalist at Radio Sheffield. Always enjoy his interview style, he's not too eager to interject with his own opinions, he always allows the interviews to flow well, and he always segways between topics smoothly. And while we're on the topic of BFC interviews... I never hear any of Doug O'Kane's questions, can Whitey get him sat closer to the camera/mic? Always strain my ears then get deafened by Hecky's response :')
I prefer him to the other 2. Staton is a bit arrogant and Buchan has one of those voices you just want to slap.
He's fairly straight on Football heaven too, he's quick to call someone out if they're talking absolute nonsense.
I've not taken him seriously since he failed to grasp that Alan Lee's late equaliser for Ipswich v Leeds meant our survival in 2007. It's something he would have known if it had affected the Sheffield clubs.
He could be doing that for an hour on that programme then. Same plonkers ringing in saying the same thing over and over again. Find myself turning it off after about five minutes now. Same boring stuff every night. Derek from Donny talking about the Barcelona of South Yorkshire ( not) , Mark the Pitsmoor Owl bashing on about the "massives" , the deluded Brian the Blade pulling other Clubs to pieces and Brian "What's thar think Rob" the Millers supporter. Surely time for a change in format.!
Brian the Miller, every single night ! Derek from Donny who only ever rings when Donny are doing well and then as you say Donny Red , they're like Barcelona. Everyone should be queuing down to the Keep Float to watch this amazing team. Brian, "I've managed teams and I know what I'm talking about..." Blade boring everyone to tears because it's always all about him ! I have it on when I'm preparing the evening meal with the blowers on full to drown out the worst excesses. There can only be six callers , same old, same old...
Tuesday night's episode. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05brb5s Gary calls in at 18 minutes to talk about us...raises some good points about the season so far and implores the board to secure Hecky on a long term contract. Giddings responds. You're expecting to get Staton's take on it next. Nah....he ignores Gary's and Gidding's points and immediately begins to bang on about this Wednesday defender who hasn't got international clearance through yet to play in the game that they're covering later that night anyway. Plenty of time to discuss that later but we have to listen to them speculating for another 5 minutes on why a Wednesday player hasn't got clearance yet. Who cares? He hasn't got it yet. End of story.
Nail on head. I stopped listening about eighteen months ago but I tuned in again this week (to hear about the takeover) and it was like time had stood still.
Dat's him. I follow him on Twitter just to hear the latest garbage he's spouting on "de Owls yeah." Under quite a number of his postings it says " this Tweet is not available because it contains potentially sensitive content." He's legendary for the use of expletives so that's probably why and whilst he was not originally joining in the "Carlos out" lobby he's since been on Radio Dee Dar requesting that Chansiri sacks CC with immediate effect yeah.! Carlos has retaliated by blocking him on Twitter.! Split my sides at one particular Tweet he posted saying how he taunts his Manchester City mates ( he's a Manc born and bred) along the lines of come back and tell me what a big Club you are, when like Wednesday, you've won "the title" four times ( 'er yeah like 1902/03, 1903/04, 1928/29 and 1929/30 , when they were known as The Wednesday Football Club with a Monkey as their mascot.) Spotted a pic of him with his lad on line with a local Sheffield personality. https://www.google.co.uk/search?sou...k1j0i22i30k1.GvhZACIbSsg#imgrc=9tPm9dKiKFzr2M:
