Does anyone still listen to this drivel? I must admit I still tune in the night after united games, but skip the usual bores and listen to a few united callers. First up last night was Bev, who thought we'd just played West Brom and Keith Richards was co-commentating. She then said we'd still say up and was followed by Jonathan who also thought we'd stay up! Hilarious stuff, are these 2 serious or are they just on the wind up.
 

Not listened regularly for many years.

I've tuned in about twice in the last couple or three years in the car on the way home from work. Quickly turned off each time when I realised it was the same boring blokes spouting the same crap revelling in their self portrayed local fame.
 
I have not listened to radio of any kind since we got relegated at Chelsea was it 94/5, on that occasion when Stein scored winner the radio somehow developed wings and flew across the kitchen.
 
I used to love listening, get back to the car after a game and listen while stuck in traffic going home. But it got boring with the same callers each and every day. Not listening for a good few years now, not missed it. Think it started to go down hill when Seth left.

I can relate to this. I was listening in my room and in horror realised how in true blades fashion we had snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
 
I used to enjoy it, at times anyway but as said above the likes of Bennet, Walker and even Staton were much better quality than the most recent presenters. Giddings cracks me up with his pig baiting though.

All in all however, like most things football I just can't be arsed at the moment.

To be fair, it started going downhill when Bob Jackson retired.
 

Speaking of that Chelsea game, I was at that match and remember at around 4:20pm with the scores at other games we seemed to be as safe as houses with no danger of relegation. I was invited to attend by a company so I joined the prawn sandwich brigade for the afternoon.
After the game when our fate was sealed I finished up in the hospitality suite sat on a round table with me on one side and Derek Dooley opposite, just the two of us. Neither said a word to each other as we were both in total shock at what we had just witnessed.
To this day I wish I had offered my commiserations, or just said something, but I have never seen a man look so totally digected and low.

Was there on the day as well. Sat right at the top of the 3 tiered stand. I had a radio and became the information point for fellow blades on the day. The swing of emotions that day was awful and I felt shit delivering the bad news. A day of infamy occurred at Everton that day, Mr Hans Seger I do believe.

Spare a thought for me. I was there sat on the edge of their rubbish stand.

Their horrible fans celebrated as if they had won the cup final!

I listened to the Everton v Wimbledon game on 5 live that day with my dad. Clearly remember the commentator saying "Sheffield United are now safe" after we went 2-1 up. I was only really young but it stuck with me.
 
Only listen the day after pigs lose or we win, although I usually find something better elsewhere. Can’t believe they have the same 6-8 nobs that they call every single time I hear it. There must be some other opinions from some others worth listening to. Think they should just run the programme 3 days max a week.
Heard 10 mins last night and it sounded like the presenter was either folding paper or preparing his tea. Shocking for BBC
 
I stopped listening to football radio after we played Coventry at the Ricoh.

I got back in the car, switched on talksport and they were previewing the Man Utd game. With my 10 year old daughter in the passenger seat Stan Collymore was giving his tactical and team shape analysis and said "Berbatov will come into the hole of Rooney". I switched off.
 
It’s probably made up of about half a dozen regular callers. It’s shite but it’s the best thing on BBC radio Sheffield.....Not saying much really.

Didn’t go but remember the day clearly.

Was at my then girlfriend parents house. The girlfriend was of pig persuasion and had gone to their game, her parents were out so there was just me and her younger sister in the house.

The sister was on the settee in a short skirt seemingly asleep but making sure she was flashing her knickers at me.

To this day I don’t know why I didn’t have a bit of fun but was too worked up watching the scores come in.

Cheers United, kind of sums up my life with football and women in one afternoon

Hi Stegosaurus here,

I might phone in. I think my viewpoints deserve a much wider audience than this forum and my OnlyFans. I'm sure they'd value my insight.

Let us know what night your going on

Open the call with your usual handle

Then proceed to replace the normal antidotal quotes with your own
“Cricket pitch, pah, I can remember when this was tropical marshland connected to continental Africa”
“Been watching since 50million BC and never seen football as bad”
“Pulis is a dinosaur, bit personal that”

Listening figures thro the roof

I remember many years ago after we lost on BD or not long after, callers then were live no lapse in talking, and this kid reeled off a tirade of swear words in connection with Curran it was hilarious. It was after that they brought in the time lapse so couldn't swear.

To listen to other opinion would mean other people phone in which obviously doesn't happen.

On some nights they don't have many callers so the producer will contact the regular callers asking them if they want to voice their opinions.

I only listen to the show if I'm in car at the same time but I wouldn't go out of my way to listen.

Heard it mate that Bev doesn’t have a clue what she’s talking about. I have to turn the volume down when certain callers come on like Steve the Barnsley fan. What he doesn’t know about football isn’t worth knowing I tell thi.
