Must be getting to the end of it's tenure. First 30 minutes and no caller. What do they expect when they treat callers like Ian the Blade and Eckington Blade with contempt. At least Ian tries to inject some fun into it. Yet they drool over clowns like Pitsmoor Pillock, Monotone Mick and Brian the silly Blade. At least Brian the Miller and 2-1 Ken make it some what bearable.
Also Hog Staton trying to convince everybody the Pigs "only" paid £8 million for Nogoals when it was officially £10.4million.
Come back Robert Jackson.

The 10 million doesn’t even include the loan fee from January to may
 



Listening in on the drive home Tuesday, they read a text out from a pig that went... 'Why are United fans so obsessed with Wednesday? I've just looked up their team and none of them would get in Wednesday's side...'

I kid you not.

100%, Durham and Gough must sit there in the morning and decide which side of the debate to take, they never agree, just pour fuel on the flames to get muppets to hang on the line for 30 minutes at quid a minute to get their 30 seconds of fame.
don't mind Brazil, fuck even Barton is better then these 2 clowns, EVEN fuckin loose women is more entertaining!!
 
Am I the only person who thinks Brian The Blade is actually quite funny in a pantomime kind of way?

The other night when he was worried that Billy was off to the Pigs and therefore that they might go up... nutter!
 
It is on too often so I now listen only rarely. Seems to be just a very small number of regular callers who ring every time that's keeping it going. Even if they haven't got owt to say they seem to feel a need to ring most days, OCD style, and the show relies on them to keep going.

Eckington Blade formerly Blackpool Blade here and I've been to Scunthorpe too but not for long enough to be called Scunny Blade, he really is as dull, as he sounds in person.

Did he mention his mate Shaun?

Appalling show.

Rob Staton (sp?) especially just comes across as being rude to anyone he doesn't like / disagrees with etc.

Don't get me started on BTB.

Pig Staton has caught the touch of the
Paul Walkers, it's a condition of the head, the symptoms are head enlargement, other wise known as big headed, won't be long before he loses his cool like Walker, almost did it with crazy Carlos, they spent 45 mins on Tuesdays show talking about the form of Rhodes, I quote "it's important for Wednesday that we talk about it and it's important for all the other clubs in the region we talk about it because it's the highest transfer fee paid by anyone in this region" ....Staton no one gives a flying outside the rust bucket about him.
 
I dont understand why they dont use a couple of nights a week to do long form interviews. Could be a current or former local player/manager or the owners. How about getting a couple of guests in to focus on a certain subject in depth ie; if theres a local derby coming up, have summarisers on from each side for a debate; get heads of academies in to talk about youth development in the modern era; whatever they can come up with- they are journalists after all, not chat show hosts.

No reason why they cant record a few weeks worth over a couple of days to cut down on costs. The way producing content is going, they could build a really good library up for people to download for years to come (they could even run them as repeats in future to cut down more cost).

Anybody who has heard their recent documentary on us from last season will know how good they can be when they stop phoning it in (pun intended). As others have said, reactions after the game are fine- as are a couple of others throughout the week. But the current 6 phone-ins a week with the same boring old windbags format is just lazy and boring.

They could get them in a central studio. Say somewhere like the Showroom.

They could get a guest presenter in who knows a bit about local footie too. Someone like, say, Alan Biggs?

They could give these live ones that come from Sheffield a special title too. Something like 'Sheffield Live" and then they could put in on YouTube too.
 



I'll buck the trend on here then and say that I actually enjoy listening to it. I also think it's far better than the original with Robert Jackson. (He was very controlling and didn't allow the callers to say much at all, when it first started it was just "the grumble spot" until, eventually, enough callers objected and wanted to be positive about their teams). I don't think it's biased towards any local team either.

I agree that some of the callers are cringeworthy, but that's all part of the entertainment. I think it gives a good insight into how football affects people's lives and outlook. It also provides good coverage of all the local teams and is a platform for the common man to have a say on their team.

I think we're very lucky to have such a programme tbh.
 
while crabs on Id like to apply for the post of allen key sorter in the lucrative caravan section
I dont want brag to but I have 3 Allen key key rings with 6 or 7 spare spring holders to really tidy up the tools, I think Ive still got half a tin of WD40 left so could clean one or 2 up as well .I want to get in at the bottom , according to Sean , that covers most of your levels
 
what annoying on RS just now is he lets owls say we are obsessed with them , just because we find them bulling up a 0-0 draw as a 3-0 win as weird
Dont remember them telling owls not to keep mentioning the blades being in league one for 5 8 or 11 years or whatever bullshit figure they came up with.

Owls do forget they have in this century been relegated to division 1 twice as many times as we have and have spent 5 times as long in league one as they have in the prem since 2000

since 2000 we have finished 29th on average out of the 92
wednesday have averaged 34th

Yes I do but too many of our fan base take him literally, I like you, just see him as a pantomime character.

Because I rang in two weeks ago at the same time I was debating with you and basically said the same on Football heaven! Then we signed Evans, Leonard, Holmes and Wilson and I felt the need to come on and praise McCabe! I don't often ring in, just now and again. I do like the show though, contrary to many on here. I've always had the view if you don't like it you do't have to listen!

Was listening to Jim white today (everyday is deadline day with this guy ) jumping on latest bandwagon of male bashing saying we should stop using models in Boxing between rounds and in darts because it objectifies women ,yet 6 hours later will be sat next to miss sawyers with her massive norks on display! fucking hypercritical twat .
