DJ /Sheffield Wednesday

[Santos]

So, I'll admit it, I have friends who are Sheffield Wednesday fans and unless we are at the bitter end of a promotion or relegation battle involving other teams, I will look out for their result after ours.

Anyway, after much confusion at half time, the chap next to me explained that the DJ refuses to mention the words 'Sheffield Wednesday' when reading the scores and in fact said, in this instance, on Sunday that 'Charlton are drawing' rather than 'Charlton nil, Wednesday nil'.

To me, this just makes him, a representative of Sheffield United appear bitter, small time and childish, but above all, I don't live in Sheffield and indirectly as a result of this won't know who Wednesday are playing half of the time. Can the DJ just stop playing silly beggars and just give us the scores rather than trying to be funny?

Is today April the first , fuck the pigs , there deluded fans , the shit- hole of a ground , this comes from a Blade who's parents and younger brother were afflicted with the disease , the only time I want to hear about them is when they go tits up , this from a team , who didn't pay its taxes but had the children's hospital as a sponsor on its shirt , ironic , not if your kid was sick ( god forbid ) .

I am at a stage in my life now where blind hatred and vitriol towards Wednesday no longer bothers me.

I find it a bit embarrassing when I see Wednesday/United fans bantering each other this season with both clubs underachieving as they are, in fact i'd be more inclined to give the upper hand to Wednesday fans (for now). The other season when we were both in L1 doing well, it was great to argue who was the best, but at the moment we are arguing who is the worst.

When I saw DJ had been sacked, dare I say I was happy. Happy that I won't hear his droning voice make excuses after each game and how they should be 11 pts better off if it weren't for refereeing incompetence. Perhaps I could sympathise because of what we suffered under Weir, I just long for the day when both Sheffield clubs are in the top flight and the rivalry can be justified. This might verge on obsurd for some reading this, but I wonder how Celtic fans feel without Rangers?

I no longer have the hatred for them that I had as a kid - but that said, I like them to lose every week and in all honesty, I'd like to see them go out of business, if only because it would be good for us.

When it comes to the day that I want them to do well too, I'll jack it all in and watch Match of the day for my football.

Don't worry gentlemen, the Steel City Derbies will be back next season.

On the original post, Gary Sinclair (the DJ who you're referring to Santos) never refers to Sheffield Wednesday by name. His choice but I wouldn't hammer him for it.

 

[SwissBlade]

I actually think the banter is good fun. Gary Sinclair's refusal to say the name of Wednesday is quite amusing.

I get more annoyed with people on here coming up with derogatory names for players and managers of our own club as well as calling McCabe all the names under the sun.

'DJ Sheffield Wednesday' would not inspire me if they were playing a night out. They'd boast of a massive rig pumping out140 dcb of Gabba, but when you got there it'd be Brotherhood of Man through a mobile phone.

He can play his silly little games with his mates down the pub but the only worthwhile part of his job* is to read the scores out and he doesn't do that right, and as I've said above, as a representative for the club I think it's a bit embarrassing.

* not a dig at him, but match day announcers in general.

 

[dublin 10 blade]

As I've said before mum, dad , ( the reason I follow us not them ). Younger brother all followed them , at one stage as we all do had loads of pig mates, and it was all banter and some were good boys , could never understand all the hassle from lads from Sheffield at it with each other , that all changed when on one of my trips home in the 80 s was attacked by 3 of them coming out of midland train station , don't want to rehash an old story but , ever since that day , the burning hatred towards them continues , at the moment they are better than us as they are in a league above us , other than that could not give a fuck about them .
Can I be the first to suggest a thread on attendance , followed by playing in Europe , followed by winning something In the 90 s , Blades mad here we become

Agreed. "Charlton are drawing" was childish. "Charlton are drawing against the piggy shite" would have been better.

I have friends who support them who I get on well with on a personal level - but it doesn't stop me wanting them to lose every game. If the defeat involves additional torment for their deluded fans, all the better.

By the way, Sinclair has been doing this for years and for someone to find it confusing - whether they live in Sheffield or not - is baffling.

How did you feel when Des Walker scored his OG in the play off semi final against Forest and Gary Sinclair (same DJ as now) made his announcement of "and the scorer of the fourth goal for The Blades, Des Walker!"? Poor Des cried.....

Personally, it made my night, but if you're consistent, it will have taken the edge off a wonderful victory. We get precious few of those and I think we have to take those where we can.

 

[Grecian2000]

I will look out for their result after ours.

I admit it, I do too.

But only to make sure the cunts have lost and my day is complete.
No "second" team for me as such, just happy to support their oponents on a match by match basis.

When I don't know who Wednesday are playing then yes, it is confusing. As I say, not living in the City means I don't watch/listen/read the local media so I have no idea who they are playing.

I wouldn't call anyone a cunt, but I am happy to say I want Wednesday to lose!

Blimey, I can't remember how I felt last week nevermind ten years ago, from memory I was probably too busy celebrating. Until Pagey stuck one in at the other end.

Gary Sinclair's always been embarrassing. I still cringe about the time when we played Liverpool in the League Cup in 2003 and he referred to Tonge as "the most valuable player on the pitch".

However, although he's an embarrassing twat sometimes, he's our embarrassing twat. The only thing I want him to stop doing is playing the opening bars of Annie's Song just before kick off.

 

[WhiteHawk]

I've said before in previous threads but I find it quite amusing that Gary refuses to mention Wednesday. I'd much rather have him than the boring twats they have at most other grounds. Liverpool for example.

Agree with this, it just capped off an amazing night!

Kozzy, if you're really interested in knowing how the filth are doing, and if it upsets you so much because a Blade won't mention the filthy bastards by name then simple solution, go and watch the bunch of deluded stinky tramps.

If something as trivial as this gets you all het up then maybe it's time to take up a more genteel sport such as ladies football, I understand that all their fans are really really nice to each other.
