I can’t believe they still have a daily phone in, not that much happens in South Yorkshire football to warrant it.

It should be a Monday phone in to review the weekend football and Friday for a weekend fixture preview phone in. Then with extra shows to cover midweek football and big news stories.

It reminds me of Radio Hallam (is that shite still going?') They used to have a 'Hallam Big Six' which focussed on the most success-deprived area in football.
 

This isn't my account. But this is my grandad and I don't f#$king appreciate you spreading his address online ya melt.

GET a grip

You might suggest to him he finds another obsession beyond talking utter shyte, embarrassing our football club and it would appear risking his welfare.
Genuine post mate. Hes a fool but no one would want anything to happen to him and there are plenty of crazy stupid idiots out there.
But then you'd know that!
 
I'm not getting involved in that Vietnam........

On an almost unrelated note, speed dating night tonight at The Happy Crab....

Last time I was on the next table to Vern. “Do you want to see the back of my van” I heard him ask. Saw it the next morning with five Kosovo’s giving it a full valet.

You should have seen what happened when they asked for a tip. They ended up on one......
 

Looking for a nice clean 4x4 if you know what I mean.
Jap or eastern Europe. No worries.
 
I still can't understand why people get all frothy over him. He makes it so blatantly obvious he's on the wind up and people still fall for it.

Not sure which is worse.

There is a big difference between going say on here to wind other United fans up, and going on a platform where United fans are one element and just making us look bad.

If he’s not on the wind up, he’s a fucking idiot. If instead he’s on the wind up, he’s still a fucking idiot.

Why not blame the station for actively encouraging it? At the end of the day, he's got his radio persona now, he's not going to deviate from it...and radio Sheffield promote him.

Think you've summarised perfectly.........Brian, for all his shortcomings, for all the obvious nonsense that he speaks, is only there on a regular basis because RS encourage him. Brian often appears early in the show, and it's because he's said something outrageous, or at least controversial, that RS know that it will provide enough momentum for the next 30 minutes or so. I actually find it amusing how RS invite Brian to say his piece then quickly show him the door, simply because all it takes is one piece of nonsense from Brian to stimulate further phone calls, and thus the show justifies itself etc, etc.

The trouble with all of this is that it encourages Brian to imagine he's got something of worth to say, so what actually happens is that Brian assumes an increasingly outrageous/stupid/incorrect role as phone-in fool. Brian you're not that interesting, you just happen to have discovered a platform that gives you the celebrity you've always hungered for. Hopefully, one day someone at RS will appreciate that Brian has little to say that is genuinely interesting, thus he'll be relegated to a place where he assumes his most appropriate position of village idiot.

Because he’s an adult and sometimes adults have to take responsibility for what they say or do?

Unfortunately we now live in a world where self promotion via stupidity is rewarded in media. Only have to look at the obsession with those dumb stereotypes from Essex. Do we really believe Joey is that fucking stupid, or does he act it, because he gives him a persona that has so far made him far richer than you or I could dream of.

I’d act stupid for what he’s earned. I wouldn’t be a performing seal for a local radio phone in though.
 
Radio Sheffield often phone Mick up when they are short on calls which he himself admitted on Owlstalk. I imagine it's similar with Brian. He's playing a role and obviously gets a kick from talking shit.

Bang on.

His grandson has told me that they ring him up .I don't know Brian but I know he doesn't have access to this forum .I used to find him funny and entertaining however recently he's over stepped the mark with some of the stuff he's spouted .His grandson knows he's fair game for criticism as he puts himself out there .However he's nearly 80 so is his wife I think a little common sense is needed .Posting his address on here is idiotic ,why didn't the mods remove it ?
