    A one hour phone in because of David Weir getting the Blunts (league 1) job.


    Didnt do this for Paul Dickov and Donny Rovers (championship).

    Because Paul Walker isn't a Doncaster fan.

    He bleeds blunt. And he's been taking credit for getting the appointment right on twitter. Obviously thinks folk will forget the other 7 names he said were getting it.

    The Blunt lovely person.

    We fund this radio station and it's about time that this explicit bias towards the two Sheffield giants was nipped in the bud. It would be so funny if fans of all other clubs phoned in, pretended to be blunts until they were put through and once air they said, 'hi Paul you knob, I'm a Barnsley fan and I'd like to talk about the contract offer made to Steele' or 'Hi Paul you tw*t, I'm a Chesterfield fan and I want to know why we released our best striker'.

    If enough people did it we could really disrupt the sickening Blunts love-in.

    To be honest, I sacked that station off last season. Didn't listen to any commentary (I've got Player for away games I don't attend) and only the occasional football heaven.

    The Doncaster fans are annoyed on twitter. Calling Paul Walker a lovely person. Good on them. He is.

    I completely agree with them and I hope loads of them phone in and tell him.

    To be fair I think I remember Rob or Paul saying on Twitter that they don't tend to do this kind of thing with clubs outside of Sheffield because the callers just aren't there.

    Although the speed at which they cut Barnsley fans off on P&G is shocking...most of the Barnsley fans who have rung up in the last few months do seem quite intelligent but whoever is presenting never enters into a debate with them and just thanks them for calling after they've spoken for 20 seconds. This probably puts a lot of people off. There are some Utd and Wednesday fans who are right numpties who get a five minute debate.

    They actually call Brian the Blade, Mick the Owl and Brian the Miller up. Seriously.

    They used to call me during Keith's first season, if it was quiet and no reds had called in. I was having a **** once. Seriously.

    I would love it, just love it, really love it, love it if

    ( sorry for going all Keegan there)

    but it would be wonderful if all the South Yorkshire teams ( and Chesterfield) got to the Championship, and then the two Dee Dah sides drop to the second division. How good would that be.

    I can see Wednesday dropping next season.

    I predicted they would last season, and had we beaten them twice they would have done.

    They don't put you directly on air. You're on old for 30 seconds or so listening to the show on the phone. So I sunk the battleship whilst Brian the Blade was finishing off his latest rant about how nice the young lads were in his team.
