Incidentally, I had Talk Sport 2 on, before I changed to Radio Sheffield for our match. They were live from Hillsborough, and the expert summariser or whatever, said: "Every other club I have been at, has the name of the club written in the seats, or their initials. I look around here, and there's CHANSIRI written across their main stand. He's certainly not backwards in coming forwards!" Long may he reign - he's doing a sterling job.
Maybe they’ll be able to fill their stadium when the two Goliaths meet. Wednesday v Sunderland.... that’s if they can sell the £45 tickets...
That last 10 minutes of Praise or Grumble last night, was up there with the most bizarre things I've ever listened to. Andy Giddings was in a foul mood, and everyone who rang up didn't know how to speak. My favourite caller was the Wednesday fan, who managed to get a full minute of air time, despite just repeatedly saying, "IT'S ALL HIS FAULT" (referring to Chansiri) eventually Andy Giddings pointed out that they were going around in circles and cut him off. Surreal experience.
Haven’t had chance yet. But I’ll listen to it on catch up. So looking forward to it. I might put it on during my break at work. With my Wendy workmates.
What about the thicko who had his radio on quite loud so you could hear Giddings speaking on it telling him to turn it off. Response: "Hello?", repeated until Giddings said grumpily "We'll have to leave it". Don't blame him and their call screening people really should do better before they let people on air. There are some genuinely lucid and interesting people who call in but, weighed against that, some incredibly stupid ones. The ones that wind me up are those that start with "And what do you think about so and so...", in other words calling with nothing at all to say except to get the opinion about something from the RS presenters. But, as they keep telling us, it's still "the original and the best" phone in (or words to that effect). Pfffttt! I used to really enjoy Radio Five's 606 on my long journeys back down south, when Alan Green was the main man. I haven't heard it for years but it was interesting back then. Even "teams like Barnsley" got the odd mention
I was going to listen to this, but I can't, It seens there was a later kick off and whenever that happens, they pull the entire show rather than putting up the bit they can broadcast on the internet.
I used to call in regular a few years ago, but it was often frustrating when you’re making a point, get cut short, only then to listen to another caller who has basically little to say other than invite the opinions of the presenters resulting in much more air-time for them. Not listened to in in ages and not missed it either
You’re right and they still cut people off who are making good points in favour of the “I called you yesterday and said exactly what I’m going to say today/tomorrow whenever”. There’s a cliquey feel to it which grates on the nerves every time I listen in, which isn’t every day by the way. I only do it on the BBC Sounds app on the phone which is good because as soon as the numpties start droning on I hit the pause button and then FF past it, and so on.
