Radio Pigs

[grafikhaus]

My delight at a 'Sheffield double' was complete when I listened to Pig & Grumble yesterday.

I have occasionally be tempted to ring in, but the standard of retards that this programme attracts makes me keep well clear.

Naturally, most of the piggies want Moans out (please don't do it!) but the two stand-out examples of idiocy were the guy who suggested Waddle and Carlton Palmer as the next management team. Yeah, an embittered, fat old stiff and the worst player to ever pull on an England shirt. Sounds like a plan...

The other was an idiot who thanked Mandaric for 'saving the club'. Er, I think you'll find that was the corrupt Co-op 'Bank' who kindly waived Wendy's £20m debt. (Funny how that hasn't been mentioned in the shit storm surrounding the Chrystal Methodist. )

I'm generally always out of the house on a Saturday on route to the game, then i'm at the game and then don't get home until the evening so thankfully don't have to endure much of Radio Sheffield.

I only generally listen to football heaven in midweek if the shit has seriously hit the fan either at the lane or at one of our inferior neighbours clubs. Other than that I can't stand any of it.

At one point a good few years back it wasn't all that bad and the standard of callers were listenable at least. It seems however that the sensible, knowledgeable callers are not put off by the modern breed of idiots who frequent the show full of bravado after a pint and half of carling speaking absolute bull and making very little sense at all.

You then have the "my dads got a cavalier and yours has only got a fiesta callers". You know the types, normally the ones who "have listened to it on the radio" and phone up to argue that their team are bigger and have better attendances which makes them superior in every way, even though they have no right what so ever as armchair supporters.

I don't know id this description is still accurate but yes a load of crap.

thats a great post mste , I used to listen every night on my way home from work and enjoyed the level of debate and the fans of differing clubs phoning in to have a pop at each other

Cant put my finger on why but it went downhill quick , the last time I listened a few years sgo now it was just the same half dozen mongs phoning every night and embarrassing themselves and the clubs they support

Someone actually phoned them up on Thursday I think it was to say that the standard of the show had slipped and it was just full of idiots. Surprised they even put the call through.

 

[metalblade]

Someone rang up in the week to tell Staton he was an arrogant bore and that the phone in pandered to idiots like Brian the Blade and their like (each local team has one) the caller was cut off before he could make his point as usual.
Radio Pig's sport phone ins are nothing but a joke in much the same way as idiots and low life scum clamour to feature on the Jeremy Kyle TV shows, cheap and nasty sensationalism.

 

[Ballinpigpubs13]

You have the same callers every week/day.
There's of course Brian the Blade. There is the same Rotherham and Chesterfield callers that phone every day. Yawn.
Where people were ringing in to sing down the line to Staton was the last straw for me. Boring beyond belief.

We listen on our hour drive home. As soon as someone comes on saying they weren't at the game, they lose all credibility with me. I have to turn Dave Jones off, he does my head in!

He is doing a fine job

Wasnt the original point of P&G to offer praise or a grumble? Quick fire reasons why and move along. Nowadays they seem to give more airtime to those that haven't a clue and allow them the chance to make bigger idiots of themselves week in week out.

Yesterday was good sport though, there seemed to be a few pig fans that weren't actually pig fans... But on subtle wind ups.

If anyone thought that radio Sheffield were biased against the blades, yesterday proved this theory wrong. The guy handling the calls (dunno who he was but he was very funny) was revelling in the demise of Wednesday!

Keep up the good work Mr Mones
