He's a total tit. I used to like him on MOTD2. Something fresh at the time. He was also good on the one show but doing live footy is a big no no. He thinks he's some kind of comedian. We watch it because we like football and would prefer some decent half time punditry, not some non-funny, fake-brummy trying out old shitty jokes that weren't funny the first time round.

Being at the game you would not have heard the comment nor had the ability to have switched over - so no

Ah, but had I not been at the game I would have been watching, therefore I should be entitled. :cool:

Serves him right for being a tit though. I've never liked him since we beat the dirties back in 2002 and I called Radio 5 afterwards and all he could talk about was what a state they were in and nothing about our win. Plus he's a West Brom fan and probably wet himself over the Battle of Bramall Lane.

Funny but he's grown on me. I used to think he was a complete dick, particularly on the one show, but I really enjoyed his presentation style on Tuesday and there's nowt wrong with a bit of humour.

Horses for courses I suppose.

Vive la difference

Bloody hell, has this country gone on a complete humour bypass.

Agree completely. It was presumably (I was at the match so didn't hear it first hand) an off-the-cuff comment, having a light-hearted dig at the quality of the match, and not meant to be taken literally. Do we really have to get upset because it sounds like he might be offending our city. Let's leave that to the scousers.
 
I did wander what would happen if anyone tried to hold him to this promise as it was live on the tv. im not that bothered to get a £5 but good luck to those who are!

He's gone down the shitter since that bony Irish bird dumped him for Fat Frank.

I'm sick of people calling us Sheffield. We are not Sheffield. We are Sheffield United. Can you imagine the uproar if one of Manchester clubs were called just Manchester?

I'm happy with that.
 



Re: The commentary:

I don't mind the commentators taking the piss, but Chiles is just a bore-on (Carlise got the humour right as others have pointed out)... I am amused at how upset they get an 'how dare the game be boring when TV has actually turned up, don't you know who we are etc etc'...attitude...thats how a lot of live games are across the land...welcome to reality..
 
I like pundits to be honest about the match they are commenting on but not to be negative and sarcastic like that dick Chiles.

Dixon dropped the 'Sheffield' bomb, very disappointing...
 
As a fervent Baggie he gave it big about the Battle of Bramall Lane at the time it happened and he's never forgotten it or forgiven us. He loved trying to belittle us on ITV4 but when Roy Keane disagreed and backed us he soon backtracked.
Basically he's a worthless, cowardly bag of wind who deserves to fade into media oblivion just like:fattwat:who he's got much in common with.
 
I got the impression Roy Keane was irritated by Chile's and would have disagreed with him whatever. To be fair to Lee Dixon, he did try to say United, just forgot a couple of times.
 
Let's loghten up a bit shall we? Man's just making a joke, he would have said the same thing whoever was playing cos it was a very dull game for all except Bladesfans, and even then lets be honest, it was hardly champagne football was it?
As for comments about half time punditry the best thing about ITV showing football is not having to listen to some monotone sofa boys club droning on for 20 mins a la MOTD.
Not Adrian's number one fan or owt but all he did was try and brighten up what was a fairly dreary TV broadcast with a spontaneous remark.
Not like he bad mouthed anyone personally is it?

I've got to say, GBS has hit this particular nail on the head.

The eloquence, the articulation, the pure, unadulterated, unequivocal embracing of this country's linguistic heritage is something we would all do well to be mindful of. Pity this pithy summary doesn't reflect that.....more worryingly, what does it say about us when we all recognise what was meant? Down the shitter we go I guess :confused: vive la difference!

"Eventually, with half-seas-ed cunning and with all the nonchalance of a traffic jam, I worked my way to her side of the pool. She was describing – in words not normally written – what she thought of a producer at M.G.M. This was my first encounter with freedom of speech in the U.S.A., and it took my breath away. My brain throbbed; I almost sobered up. I was profoundly shocked. It was ripe stuff. I checked her again. There was no question about it. She was female. In America the women apparently had not only got the vote – they’d got the words to go with it.

I was somewhat puzzled and disturbed by the half-look she gave me as she uttered the enormities. Was she deliberately trying to shock me? Those huge violet-blue eyes (the biggest I’ve ever seen, outside those who have glandular trouble – thyroid, et cetera) had an odd glint in them. You couldn’t describe it as a twinkle…. Searchlights can not twinkle, they turn on and off and probe the heavens and so on.

Still I couldn’t be left out. I had to join in and say something. I didn’t reckon on the Scotch though. I didn’t reckon that it had warped my judgment and my sense of timing, my choice of occasion. With all the studied frenzy of Dutch courage I waded into the depths of those perilous eyes.

In my best chiffon-and-cut-glass Oxford accent I said: “You have a remarkable command of Olde-Englishe.”

There was a pause in which I realized with brilliant clarity the relativity of time. Aeons passed, civilizations came and went, brave men and cowards died in battles not yet fought, while those cosmic headlights examined my flawed personality. Every pockmark on my face became a crater of the moon. I reached up with a casual hand to cover up the right-cheeked evidence of my acne’d youth. Halfway up I realized my hand was just as ugly as my face and decided to leave the bloody thing and die instead. But while contemplating the various ways of suicide and having sensibly decided, since I had a good start, to drink myself to death, I was saved by her voice which said, “Don’t you use words like that at the Old Vic?”

“They do,” I said, “but I don’t. I come from a family and an attitude that believe such words are an indication of weakness in vocabulary and emptiness of mind…. Despite Jones’s writing that in times of acute shared agony and fear, as in trench warfare, obscenities repeated in certain patterns can at times become almost liturgical, almost poetic….” I ran out of gas.

There was another pause; more empires fell. Captains and kings and counsellors arrived and departed. She said three four-letter words. These were, I think, “Well! Well! Well!”

Somebody laughed uneasily. The girl had turned away. I had been dismissed. I felt as lonely as a muezzin, as a reluctant piano lesson on a Saturday afternoon, as the Last Post played on a cracked bugle"
