It's because Tufty and his mates prefer their Sunday Afternoon Soul Bessemer style........

Yes he did. I had forgotten what he said but knew he'd said something.

What a cock end

I like Gary Sinclair. I like it that he hates the pigs as much as a lot of us do. Unfortunately, snowflake seems to be the ever increasing order of the day now, where you can't rip the piss out of even your most hated enemy.

In a perverse sort of way, I'm actually looking forward to the day when the Lane is full of tolerant libtards, all clacking those god-awful 'clapping tubes' and taking their cues to sing jolly little inoffensive ditties, when the words are flashed up on the scoreboard. That day will be my last at the Lane and will ensure that I never feel any remorse about leaving and no yearning to go back.

Wilder wasn't being a snowflake when he pulled Sinclair up after the Villa match, it was more about respect for the game, and for the opposition manager, his staff and even players who all work their arses off week in week out. As much as we all despise that lot I think Wilder would expect the same level of professional respect on Friday too. We can rip the piss from the terraces and hopefully rip them to pieces on the pitch, but there is still a certain etiquette involved.

All that being said, it wouldn't bother me if Sinclair had a dig or two, but it ain't half tempting fate.
 
I quite liked the dedication for Alf Retons 14th Birthday:).

It's not how you portray it. You can "rip the piss", if you are a supporter, but I wouldn't. I wouldn't because I know shit can happen and ripping the piss and then taking a massive fucking fall if you fail is (a) classless and (b) giving the arrogant shits ammunition.
One thing we do have and should have is class. So shut the fuck up until you have something to rip the piss out of.

As for a club employee. FFS what are you on? Wilder himself requires respectfulness and no "crowing". Because we are class and we don't crow. See his interviews. If you want to write the Pigs half time talk you keep being an arrogant. IF you deserve the right to rip the piss at the end of the game, then do it to the best of your ability as will I. But before then, please Shut the Fuck up. Smiley Smiley Fucking Smiley.:D

As soon as the strains of F.E.A.R. rang around BDTBL last season I knew we weren't winning that match. It's never suited the Blades to be arrogant. Stick to post match piss taking please Gary. Keep "always look on the bright side of life up your sleeve", just in case our visitors need a pick me up whilst locked inside the ground.
 

Why do we need a “stadium announcer”? We never used to. And, in the age of digital displays, smartphones and instantly accessible social media, you’d have thought we’d need one even less than we ever did.

Making us cringe is the least of it, for me, with Gary Sinclair. His “Mr Sheff Utd” schtick, and his assumption that he speaks for all of us (especially when spouting cliches, platitudes and falsehoods) too often make him sound arrogant, gormless, reductive, pathetic. Which is fine if he’s speaking for himself. Not fine when he’s claiming to speak for me!

And the argument that he’s better than his occasional substitutes doesn’t stack up for me, either. It’s not a race to the feckin bottom.

Can’t we just enjoy the build-up to the game, and HT, on our own terms, maybe by talking to the people we go with, or who sit next to us, rather than having this twat impose himself on us with conversation-defying volume turned up to 11?
 
I like Sinclair personally. I like his edgy, slightly mocking, humour but I also think he does sincere and genuine well too. He’s a very competent and clear announcer and he’s an enjoyable part of the match-day experience for me.

I think it’s funny when he omits to mention the name of that other team from Sheffield, be it on derby days or when reading out the latest scores or results. It’s harmless fun and over the years I’ve had some good laughs. After years of them believing we are the dirt on their shoe, it helps to address the balance a bit. (Although the football we play does that sufficiently now and by some!).

There was an incident few years ago, after the infamous Eric Cantona incident, where Cantona whilst playing for Man U, leapt into the crowd to Kung Fu kick a Crystal Palace fan. He read out the half time scores and said, “Man Utd are playing in their new kit...all white with a black belt”. :D

Then there was the subs in the Norwich game last season where they were taking their time (!) And he slipped the word “eventually” into announcing the substitution

He’s got balls. He’s not politically correct. And in a world where we are increasingly expected to not even smile wrong for fear of upsetting someone or other he’s a breath of fresh air.

He also reminds me for all the world of “The Fat Controller” out of Thomas The Tank Engine. and I love that about him too!:D

I'm with you on this. But I do wish that for big games with a decent away following, the crowd could be trusted to build up the pre-match atmosphere.
 
I know what you mean Hodgy, but I think he just tries to do his bit to get us looking forward to each half of every game. I wouldn’t want him to turn into Delia and come on the pitch at half time and say “let’s be ‘avin you” to the crowd, through blackened teeth- that suggests years of a poor diet!:D

The solution to this is easy:

1. Get promoted to the Prem
2. Increase our capacity to 40,000
3. Introduce safe-standing
4. Give the opposition the whole of Bramall Lane end, upper and lower, on derby days, (Would also prevent all those life-threatening crushes and save on policing too)
5. Give Wilder the money to keep us in the Prem.

Number 1 is coming soon. The others may follow?

well to be clear, in France réveillé is pronounced ruveyay or revayay and means wake up,

that is what the bugle call reveille means too.



(Godric Blade pointed out the french pronunciation elsewhere on this forum)

If you are going to be po-faced about a flippant comment, I could point out that the English spelling looks more like the 'tu' form of the French imperative, which would be pronounced closer to Gary Sinclair's version than the conventional English version.
 

Aye, I just thought that no Sheffield school-kid ought to be misled into pronouncing it rivalley in an exam, as many thousands of Sheffield school-kids follow these posts I felt an obligation to make sure they didn't fail through any misunderstanding.

I couldn't really work out what form of the verb or case it was.

Highly irregular

Or am I wrong, is it some sort of past tense - and wouldn't reveillez be the imperative?

Sorry to maintain my po facedness if you know the real way the french would pronounce it, please put me out of my misery.
