Radio Sheffield annoyances

[Eric Cartman]

What really annoys you when listening to Radio Sheffield? Be it in the commentary, football heaven, interviews or just the presenters in general?

Should get us through the international break...

For me it's when they start off the commentary with "kicking right to left" - who the f**king hell cares what way they're kicking? We don't care where you're sitting in the ground and from what direction the players are kicking in correlation to that - it doesn't paint me a picture or enhance my listening experience whatsoever.

I would disagree.
When listening to radio commentary I like to have a mental picture of the game.
It annoy me when they don't say which way we are kicking.

Got to disagree.

What they going to say next? 'Kicking north westerly, 11 degrees to the left of Bramall Lane'?

Yes it's so bloody annoying when they tell the audience accurate facts about the game

 

[Carlton Blade]

"Let's go across to John Pearson at Hillsborough"

I just don't care

[pblades]

When the ref is about to blow for the start of the game, and the mans voice appears saying something like ‘BBC Radio Sheffield is not available on this device’

 

[siblade]

Probably not meant to be this general but Toby Foster.

how on earth do you understand what is going on? genuine question

Radio Sheffield has many annoyances, but telling us that the Blades are kicking towards the Bramall Lane end in the first half isn't one of them. Radio commentators are told to give listeners a mental picture. They may also mention what the weather is like and how full the ground is. What's wrong with that?

 

[Eric Cartman]

Is it a fact that they're kicking left to right?
They'd be right to left at the other side.
If they were behind the goal they'd be kicking top to bottom or bottom to top.

It's a load of bollocks.

When they're away from home and we're kicking 'left to right' or 'right to left' what on earth is that doing to paint a mental picture?

The weather I understand. The colours of the kits. Colour fucking boots, fine. But what direction we're kicking in correlation to where they're sitting?!

 

[Eric Cartman]

"Let's go across to John Pearson at Hillsborough"

I just don't care

I don't use this word lightly, but that bloke is a cockwomble.

Andy Giddings saying "eerrr" after every 2nd or 3rd word

I don't need to know what direction they're kicking the football in Ipswich to understand what they're talking about mid game.

I was working the day we played Bolton at home in the League One fixture, it was an important game as you all know.

I finished my work and got in the car at 3.20 pm and tuned in to the live broadcast. By this time United were 1-0 up, but of course I didn't know that.
The commentary was going on and on and I was just screaming at the radio presenters to "TELL ME THE EFFING SCORE"

Then at 3.30 the commentary said "Here come United looking to extend their lead" so at least I knew we were winning, but even then I didn't know whether it was 1-0, 2-0, 2-1, 5-0, I'd no idea.

I found out it was 1-0 a couple of minutes before half time, about 22 minutes after tuning in.

Me too !

I genuinely think RS offers a brilliant football service, and by and large the presenters are excellent and professional. I really don't get all the 'radio owls' or 'Radio Blades' criticism. If both sets of fans think that they favour the other team, what does that tell you.
I have occasionally tuned in to other local radio sport, and believe me, our lot a very good in comparison.

I do agree to be fair, but there are some pretty annoying things about it

Yes, that’s my main gripe with them as well. Very frustrating.

You must watch too much telly. Commentary for Radio has to be more descriptive for obvious reasons.

Do they have live broadcasts for our home games?

Do you play "count the erms"? I do. It's ruining my life. Also, just to add to the annoyance, he says "Sheffuld". You won't unhear it now. Sorry.

 

[Topplayersleave]

They did for that one, can't remember why
