Gary Sinclair on the Naughty Step

[super_pig]

'Unfortunately there are only two minutes left of the first half' or similar.

i reckon after that first half it was fair comment.. humourless twats it’s only bantz ffs
remember the classic
‘you might be premier league but we are sheffield united’ from a couple of seasons back

 

[grafikhaus]

Fuck me we won 4-1 so we can’t slate the team so let’s jump on the next bandwagon. Jesus it was a little joke you melts, laugh a little.

Jesus Christ, some of you lot are miserable bastards. Best performance in ages and you start whinging about this non issue.

You need to learn to enjoy the good times in life a little more.

Agree. I think both GS and CW were caught up in the emotion of a scintillating performance. Sinclair wasn't showing 'disrespect' to Villa any more than the crowd were - who gave the team an ovation at both HT and FT. We were just being appreciative of a near-perfect performance.

 

[super_pig]

Wasn't at the game, but exactly this.

please elaborate HB
‘ok lads we’re playing crap but go out and show that PA guy who is boss’
‘yeah boss.. come on!’
.. high fives all round?

 

[super_pig]

Meh. Was a bit of fun. Some people need to stick a pad on, put on some leg warmers and watch Bridget Jones.

superb

It's ok if you're cooking Sunday dinner listening to Radio 2, it's inoffensive (mostly, that bouncing day song is wank despite the topic) but, Christ, put some pissing rock music on or summat, some punk, anything to get people going.

G-Sync doesn't play anything unless Pan's People danced to it on Top of the Pops.

GS once put as his FB status update, "It's 1 o'clock and time for lunch." I replied, "Blimey, he'll be playing Supper's Ready at Maggie May's next."

Ever since then I've been hoping he'd play a bit of Prog Rock at the Lane, but so far that's drawn a blank.

Needless to say, I had the last laugh.

 

[Whiston Blade]

So can we all agree he’s a cunt who loves the sound of his own voice?

 

[boo radley]

Good job it wasn't me ,'fortunately for that cabbage faced cunt over there and his little rent boy little pony there are only 2 minutes for you to think about your excuses and get up off the floor to do your hair'....'Actually there is one now. One more minute to laugh at that useless twat with the beard in your defence.'

Fuck off, you're never that polite.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Snowflakes everywhere.

Is GS Googleblade?

 

[Dec]

His main job should be to let the fans know the teams who are playing, he does this after the teams are out, against Norwich he didn't even read their subs out.

I am in the Lane a good half hour before kick off, and he has the team sheet, so no excuses, I did speak to him direct re this, and he said "Everyone gets them online mate"
Go to an away game, see how it is done Gary.

Everyone does get them online though mate

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Everyone does get them online though mate

David Blunkett wouldn’t.

 

[Darthblade]

Fairly innocent, barely on the twattery scale. I don't mine the bloke, every other stadium announcer I hear seem to be much worse.

Indeed ...... he may be a knob but he could be much worse ....... fair play from Tufty to apologise to Villa.

HE should have said ....... you will only have to put up with this shit, weak, star-struck referee for 2 more minutes before he goes in to get updated instructions from Trevor Brooking !!

UTB & FTP

About margins. "They're taking the piss out of you boys, on and off the pitch, now don't concede early on and once we snatch one back their notoriously fickle fans will soon get on their backs".

Tell that to Wilder then.

 

[Muttley]

Sod it being disrespectful. We are the home team. That is supposed to be an advantage.

Great, funny comment Gary. Something that just about every Blade in the stands were also thinking. Or aren't we allowed to think it as it might offend some poor bugger.

 

[Davalon]

Thought it was unnecessary and unprofessional at the time but the bottom line is that Wilder wasn't happy, which some seem to be ignoring when Having a dig at those on here criticising GS.

Rumour yesterday that United and GS aren't exactly seeing eye to eye on his remuneration.

 

[shorehamview]

Please stop using this made up nonsense word. There is absolutely no such thing as 'islamaphobia'. Having an irrational fear is a phobia, having valid fears about an ideology that has remained unchanged for 1400 years is not irrational. That word was invented to shut down perfectly valid criticism and critique of Islam, with no other religion is it considered a 'phobia' to criticise it.

Dictionaries and Wikipedia would disagree.

Islamophobia
ɪzˌlaməˈfəʊbɪə/
noun

1. dislike of or prejudice against Islam or Muslims, especially as a political force.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamophobia

It’s a word. Just because you don’t like the word doesn’t negate it’s existence.

And that is exactly the point isn't it? i.e. that Wilder is unhappy about it.

It was mentioned on the TV, is mentioned in The Sunday Times match report and presumably in various other newspapers. A stadium announcer should not be anywhere near ever being the story.

Wilder will be well aware that seemingly silly little things like this can have disproportionate impact down the line, and in this instance, will add totally unnecessary spice to our visit to Villa Park in February, when we are likely to find ourselves with a tough enough assignment as it is.

Anyway, it's done now. I'll prefer to focus on other bits of The Sunday Times report, such as:

"Aston Villa were torn apart by a Sheffield United team who are gathering momentum after a slow start."

His comment that it's an ideology that hasn't changed in 1400 years is arrant sophistry too.

He gets fuckin paid ??

 

[EddieColquhoun]

He also introduced our new signing Martin Crane!!

 

[nopigfansintown]

My opinion of Sinclair is that he has the capacity to be the best in the business, but lets his ego get in the way.Things like getting players names right, and announcing the full lineups should be the basics.Yes, I still do find the lineups out in the ground. Many older people who aren't into all the latest gadgets do likewise. I don't like much of the music he plays but that's subjective so I can let it lie. What's becoming annoying, and undermining Sinclair's obvious quality, is how he puts himself in these contentious situations. Why play FEAR for the first time before the lane derby? Yes, we know the were shitting themselves but why wind them up pre match? Why say superfluous words yesterday that could be taken the wrong way? Just do the job you're very good at. If you want to be more expressive wind teams up post match.A fond example was when Sinclair played 'always look on the bright side of life' after a United victory in the derby. Wound the pig fans up something rotten. Just don't do anything that damages reputation or potentially effects the game.

 

[Muttley]

Upsetting the opponents.
Hmm. Let me think.
When I go away to lets say, The Sty. They put on Jeff Beck's worst ever creation and it makes my stomach churn. Same with Z Cars at Everton etc. All have their things for their team. Do visiting fans get their stuff played "out of respect"? No, it's down to who is visiting who's castle.
GS didn't say that comment to upset any Snowflakes that may have travelled from Birmingham, but in support and adulation of the home team.
They are always asking the crowd to be our 12th man, not be "respectful" to the visitors to make their lives more comfortable.
Are we not allowed humour in todays society?

and we’ll come back from 3 down to win.. didn’t work did it? they conceded almost immediately
seriously though.. fair point

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Why the hell can't the announcer be biased towards the home team FFS. Its all part and parcel of home advantage as far as I am concerned. I'd have no problem with the Villa announcer saying the same at their place, if the situation was reversed.

Sinclair is a blade and was as thrilled with what he had witnessed as the rest of us were. PC fucking shite every where you turn.

 

[mattbianco1]

Gary Sinclair is a nobwipe. Very dislikeable man. I wouldn’t apologise for him though, just take folks to Maggie Mays for half an hour & they would understand.

He's chringeworthy. Acts like the uncle that tells you the same shit joke every Xmas which wasn't funny the 1st six times and isn't funny now.

He also said something along the lines of "6 minutes left in this league" in the Chessie game which I found a little funny, although thats not really offensive to anyone in particular.

In regards to today let's hope it doesn't go any further he's obviously just got a little too carried away!

Considering we were playing chesterfield who we're leaving League 1 in the opposite direction the same day, the comment wasn't the best.

If he stopped with the shit jokes and side swipes he is amongst the best in the country. His voice is loud and clear, he's knowledgeable about football (not just reading a script like the 'rent a stadium announcer' that fills in).

Just cut the crap and remember it's SUFC, not the Gary Sinclair show

 

[Ball_Sup (Phil)]

As it happens. I prefer the Factual not Fatuous announcers. What Sinclair said was pretty tame really. But, I was reminded of the time I saw an announcer at an England Cricket match get sacked mid game after "making jokes about Joe Root & Monty Panesar". Is that enough ClickBait?

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

Total lack of respect for the opposition. That is not what our club is about - rightly b*llocked for it.

 

[Jermyn]

Out of interest, how long has gazza been the announcer. This is my 40th year of attending Bdtbl and can't recall any other voice . And just to add a little side note, l took my youngest to the England warm up game at Wembley just before the WC and I almost shat myself as the stadium announcer sounded exactly like our very own gazza. I would have put my house on it, it was that astonishing but glad I didn't because when I saw him on the screen he was about 35 and had a full head of hair.
