Media

[S64 Blade]

I keep seeing numerous threads/comments on here and Bladesmad about the media in Sheffield, and their bias towards Wednesday.

My first question though, is, does anyone really give a sh*t? Let the Star and Radio Sheffield talk Wednesdays up. I'd just say if you're unhappy with it, then don't buy the paper or listen to the radio shows. I do neither, although it's mainly out of boredom with the same comments on Praise or Grumble.

Let's just go about our business and ignore any of what's going on elsewhere. We don't need them.

Completely agree, its a cliche, but it makes Danny Wilson's team talks simple if we're written off.

Thought the Football League Show were quite fair and balanced. They recognise the traditions of a proper football club and footballing city, it almost doesn't matter what division we're in.

I've started some of those threads and contributed to others. It doesn't bother me at one level i just wish the presenters would stop this charade about being neutral. Assuming they're local people and football fans it stretches credibility that they're not attached to one club or other.

Why don't Radio Sheffield's presenters nail their colours to the mast? I think it would be better if the bias/preference of the presenters was well known. It'd certainly make some of the discussions a bit more interesting than the usual pelicans that ring in.

The thing that's needed is a "James Whale" style cut-off button. That would live things up a bit. Seth/Andy/Paul/Trev/Horatio or whoever could interrupt callers with a beep if they were too boring, or simpletons, or Brian the Blade.

Personally I'd love the job of jazzing up the show. It'd be a lot more interesting that the usual old "Here's Stan from Barnsley, who hasn't been to a game since 1963 but is still going to bore us fucking rigid for ten minutes, like he does every fucking week, because the silly old twat has no real friends and nothing to look forward to except death."

Radio SV - "Here's Stan to talk about Barnsley. Stan?"

Stan - "Well SV, Ah din't gu"BEEEEEEEEP

Radio SV - "If you 'din't gu' then why are you ringing me up? Next, and you'd better have spent your Saturday afternoon watching football rather than masturbating in the potting shed with the wireless on only to muffle your panting."

Brian The Blade - "H"BEEEEEEEEP

Radio SV - "Fuck off ! Next please."
