Radio Sheffield United

Haven't listened to this dreadful station/show at all this year, yet they told us an interview with Mansford was to be played on the show tonight so like a wally I've tuned in and had to listen to an hour of Sheffield United fans creaming themselves over losing to Hull. They haven't put the Mansford interview on.

Utter cnuts.

Never again.

 

Ohh, I thought you were the Andy White who calls in nearly every day. Not so?

I've never called in as Andy White, not this or any other season. I called in quite regularly (about 10 times) during Keith's first season under the name Whitey.

 

Apologies! He always seems to be travelling somewhere when he calls (background noise from car or train maybe) and I sort of put two and two together and decided it must be you, based on comments that you have made about travelling to and from Barnsley (or am I digging an even deeper hole of confusion here?)

He always has plenty to say anyway

 

As I say, I don't believe I've listened to it this year. I think the last time I did was in December when Danny returned. So I'm not sure who calls up anymore, although Owlstalk have a Football Heaven thread and mention Paul the Miller, Brian the Blade and Mick the Owl so I'm assuming they still call regularly. Is there a bloke calling up as a reds fan, under the name Andy White, then? Seriously?

That's quite amusing, but quite frightening too.

 

And yes, I spent a good six months last year (May to December) commuting from Bradford to Barnsley for work. Travelled myself close to insanity. It was torture. I loved it.

 

Well you've got me doubting my own ears now, but he definitely is a regular caller and comes on as "Andy". I think the name White was mentioned at some point but perhaps I am imagining it. He is bound to be there tomorrow commenting before the Charlton match. He is is as much a fixture as Brian the Blade and Brian the Miller.

Have to say he does make plenty of lucid points, unlike most of the knuckle draggers who go on there ("Narameen like....repeated ad nauseum). If I put it on I only listen with half an ear. Mind you when Kevin comes on and drones on for as long as he can get away with about nothing in particular then I mentally switch off (a Reds fan with nothing to say, only questions to ask)

 

I'll have a listen (against my best intentions) tomorrow, see if he's on.

James is my favourite fellow red who used to call. Posts on here.

 

Might be me after all...

I've met that Kevin, he's only about 50odd, sound like he's ringing from Mount Vernon nursing 'ome and is in his 80's!

 

My favourites from a couple of years ago were Mick the Owl - always sounds like he's just seconds away from a coronary, very angry chap - and Brian the Miller - the chap that never goes to games but "my son/lad went" and then gives us a break down of said game he didn't attend.

 

Ha ha ''I didnt go but my lad went and he says.....'' every week

Must be on some reyt pocket money!

 

Like fook! More chance of it been Barry White

 

'Whatchemacallit'

 

THREAD STOPPED it'll end up spoiling a WSB#4 page!

My rulz, am the guvnor rarnd ere!

 

I'm spose to be helping flog it on Saturday. Should be fun.

 

You're kidding! I was going to say something about him being an old man but thought I might get shot down by some on here for saying it. The trouble with that programme is that not enough people call in so they let the numpties get away with what they do.

If I were a presenter I would cut most calls off after a few seconds but they obviously can't do that for fear of lots of dead air!
