Did we boycott Praise or Grumble?

[Princess Annes Dog]

Very few Blades on there tonight and I was just wondering if there had been a concerted effort not to call in anymore. I didn't hear all of it, but the one Blade I did catch on there was quite obviously not the most confident of folks. He wanted to have a grumble about the performance, not the result and got ripped straight into. He started stammering and never really got to talk about what he'd called in for because the clever little shit sat in the safety of the studio kept on at him till he dried up.

Only other I heard was that dumbo Brian the Blade, soon as he started I switched off because he's one of the most embarassing cretins ever to call a phone in so I just wondered, did we boycott at last?

I have just stopped listening to it.

Is that a boycott?

I listened in to see if it had changed. Simple answer NO. In fact it may have got worse. Just caught piggy Staton begging local fans not to chant nasty things about each other. I think this may have something to do with the fact that most local sides hate Wednesday and encourage each other to stand up whilst singing so. Dont think he likes it.

Wont be listening in next time.

Don't think so, but perhaps people ought to. We clocked last season that if they haven't received any texts, they'll just read out stuff from Twitter, even if it wasn't aimed at them. Some of our Twitter ramblings got read out on occasion... And we definitely aren't sad enough to talk to them!

Lowest common denominator broadcasting. Don't waste your time.

Pigs are currently in negotiations with Spielberg and Howard stern to take over their live commentarys
We have inquired to roni robinsons agent

Think it's more to do with Radio Owl

Just for any of RS's employees who may occasionally look this way. I haven't stopped listening out of pique/perceived Gruntery, I've stopped listening because it's absolute dross. I cannot recall the last time I learned anything from listening in, about my club or indeed any of the others and the Richard and Judy level of interviewing was what really made me switch off rather than the white noise of the callers.

Do a phone-in on a Monday and a Friday, but there simply isn't enough material to wring a one hour programme five nights a week out of it.

If you must, then do some proper work during the day and one night a week turn the hour over to a full review - incl achive comms, interviews at the time and with the same people now - of "classic" seasons in the way Sky will do for a vintage test series to show whilst it's raining.

I never listen as I no longer live in Sheffield but we've been the media darlings before when we were in the Premier League, now it's their turn. If/When we are taken over, then I suspect more coverage will be devoted to that a la the shambolic years of takeovers at Hillsborough. At the end of the day, whoever is the top team will get the most coverage and most bias. All things being equal, we'll have equal coverage, in Sheffield at least.

After that with the other south Yorkshire teams, you're into "Scotland on the weather map" territory.

 

[dingledog]

I complained to them about bias and Recieved a not very nice tweet in reply. They seem to forget we the listener pay their wages via the license fee and that perception is reality.

 

[2ndtenorblade]

I stopped tuning in months ago and life is much sweeter.

Why call it praise or grumble when they don't allow people to grumble. I have never listened unless for some strange reason I am driving to the game. I used to be a regular listener to the week day show, however when only dross are calling in like the pitsmoor owl then call the show then you know you're in trouble and we have some arsehole fans too so it's general for me.

If they are unable to debate with thick people then I think they should do what Raul says and maybe cut it down to 30 minute shows or even every other day.

As Blades I feel we need to concentrate on ourselves and leave the rest to do what the hell they like.

I've refused to listen to it since last May, when i offered Rob Staton and the rest of the plebs my congratulations on getting the conclusion of the season they wanted and their favourite team getting promoted, and i got in to a slanging match on Twitter with Staton.

Fucking knobsacks.

Did you get outwitted ?

 

[bricktop]

I'll fucking outwit you in a minute, you potty mouth, knuckle dragging scouse neanderthal.

By the way the exchange ended with me telling Staton i would be happy for him to block me, so i could follow some proper journalists instead. And he also retweeted me, resulting in a number of abusive messages from grunters.

I don't know if anyone heard the commentary on Rotherham's game but they were moaning how the pigs are disliked in Rotherham at one point. Then they were praising millers for not singing anti pig songs, then as the referee put the whistle to his lips at full time they cut straight to the pig game to join in the wank fest after an equaliser in the last minute. A really sad excuse for a local (as in ALL of S. Yorks / N. Derbyshire) radio station.

 

[sothall blade]

talk sport or 606 for me now,when you ring their phone in,they will banter and argue the toss with you and dont cut you off when you have a moan.

 

[sothall blade]

the pigs could have their own radio station !!!!!!!! oh they have .....radio sheffield

 

[metalblade]

The commentator for the Rotherham game also put forward that the reason the pigs are hated in Rotherham is ..............wait for it................... because they are massive !!!

Not because their fans are a set of arrogant deluded tossers then ???

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Praise or Grumble?

Wasn't that a cracking opinion based radio programme whereby after the matches on a Saturday, supporters could contribute without fear or favour many years ago?

I'd heard it died a death......

It died a death when Bob Jackson packed it in..........

Some of us boycotted Praise, others boycotted Grumble. It's been like that for a while.

Yup, in listening on the way home on a number of occasions we clocked them reading out our tweets and tweets sent for our attention as if people had sent them in to the show.

During the week, it's the same thing every time I happen to catch any of it, the same conversations, the same "arguments" and the same gloating. Perhaps someone should create Football Heaven Bingo?

 

[sitwell]

It died a death when Bob Jackson packed it in..........

It actually died when Paul Walker got involved ,he is now so far up his own arse he thinks hes the new Chris Evans in a morning and John Motson on Saturday nights ,the guy is a total moron ,oh no thats what he thinks we are right ?

 

[s35blade]

I am getting fed up when a fan calls In on football heaven or praise or grumble the fan seems to get half a point across when the presenters but in (and there all as bad as each other) and delivers a monologue about why there wrong. HOWEVER. it Is the only show in the entire media that gives specific attention to the south Yorkshire teams even though at the moment it Is a bit pigcentric however when they settle into a boring mid-table team that will change so i won't be boycotting any radio Sheffield football program

 

[judge]

I stopped listening when Brian Deane stopped scoring the winner during the marching band song

 

[super_pig]

haven't listened to it for years since they deliberately misquoted an email i sent to them years ago (about monty ..what a shock).. although i did catch the megson sacking one and that totally convinced me that they are Radio Pig.. although it was funny

 

[sheffielder]

Does anyone actually listen to it anymore?

 

[JohnDenver]

The concept of a boycott for Football Heaven is a strange one. By that token you could also say that I currently boycott treading in dog turds.
