Whenever a pig starts oinking

You mean Mark The Pitsmoor Armed Robber :-)

I genuinely think RS offers a brilliant football service, and by and large the presenters are excellent and professional. I really don't get all the 'radio owls' or 'Radio Blades' criticism. If both sets of fans think that they favour the other team, what does that tell you.
I have occasionally tuned in to other local radio sport, and believe me, our lot a very good in comparison.

Couldn't agree more. Radio Stoke copied the Praise or Grumble format and it was a very pale imitation of the RS version. As the RS presenters have changed over the years (and are changing again), they've maintained a consistently better level than the clayhead equivalent show, Of course there are some repetitive and annoying callers, including some Blades, but by and large, it's entertaining.
 

When they go 'round the grounds'.

You're commentating on a Sheffield United match, most of the people listening to it will be Sheffield United fans, we want to listen to the commentary of our game, not another presenter at another game telling us what has been happening.

I read this thread this morning and didn't think anything bothered me particularly but then 'round the grounds'; maybe it's my imagination but when Wednesday are the main game it seems 'round the grounds' happens at 20 minute intervals, when United are the main game you barely hear the fucking game for the number of times we are away at other grounds hearing about how it's still 0-0.

Spot on mate, it is your imagination ! :)
 
Brian The Blade. Mark The Cunt. Interrupting FH every 15 minutes to tell us the rush-hour traffic is 'busy', stopping P & G bang on time to have 'Northern Soul' or 'Eastern Air' - of interest to half a dozen people. That cunt last night who was given free rein to re-cycle the CW story where Chris was obviously talking about Villa, embargoes etc. but the pig was allowed to spout that 'United have no class.'

Non-football annoyances? Toby Fucking Foster.
 
That idiot who sounds like Keith Lemon who commentates on Chesterfield.

“Ooh, it worra a real chanth there fo tha Thpyyyryyyteth...”
Chethterfield tho clothe to an opening there Rob. But ath it thands they're thtill 3-0 down here at Billeriacay. OOOOTTTHHH!
 
Got to disagree.

What they going to say next? 'Kicking north westerly, 11 degrees to the left of Bramall Lane'?

If say we are playing Forest i do like to know which way we are kicking at the start of the game,so Giddings says,,,,,,,,,,and the Blades will start the half kicking towards the Trent End which is to our left where we are located in this dilapidated old stand.
 

When they're away from home and we're kicking 'left to right' or 'right to left' what on earth is that doing to paint a mental picture?

The weather I understand. The colours of the kits. Colour fucking boots, fine. But what direction we're kicking in correlation to where they're sitting?!
You need to get yersen a lady
 
"Sports news" at half past four. Before we are able to hear said news, why the f*ck does whichever presenter have to ask the newsreader some inane question or opinion about the days chosen non subject.

Then they ask the travel reporter the same idiotic question.

I only turned on at halfpast four for the sports news, I'm not interested what everyones favourite shoelace ever was or the first time they saw a piece of chewing gum stuck to a bus ticket.

I just want to hear the sports news.
 
Commentaries are nearly always at away games, so unless you know the ground, and where the commentators sit, "kicking left to right" is meaningless. I'm ok if they say "kicking towards the xxxxx stand" or pointing out where the Blades fans are sitting, however. I had this conversation with Andy Giddings about 5 years ago, but it had little effect. Story of my life ... nobody ever listens to me.

On a completely different note, in 1985 Jimmy Hagan paid a visit to Sheffield from his home in Portugal and attended a social evening at the Lane in the Executive Suite. JH was in demand but after some time I was able to corner him and started a conversation with my lifelong hero. Hagan was modest and really cooperative and things were just getting interesting when Bob Jackson, the self-styled 'voice of football' at Radio Sheffield, rudely barged in and virtually dragged Jimmy away to talk to one of Bob's mates. Bob Jackson had already spent some time with Hagan hosting a phone-in for Radio Sheffield listeners, so he'd already had more than his fair share of Jimmy's time. I didn't like Bob Jackson before this happened and - 33 years on - I'm still bitter!
 
What really annoys you when listening to Radio Sheffield? Be it in the commentary, football heaven, interviews or just the presenters in general?

Should get us through the international break...

For me it's when they start off the commentary with "kicking right to left" - who the f**king hell cares what way they're kicking? We don't care where you're sitting in the ground and from what direction the players are kicking in correlation to that - it doesn't paint me a picture or enhance my listening experience whatsoever.

You have to visulise the ground whether it be Bramall Lane or Lords or the flood plain in S6. so if we are on radio, kicking R>>L in 1st Half at towd lane I always see it looking from where the commo's are sat..i.e the south stand, ie we won the toss and are kicking towards BL as we like to do in 1'st half.

Have always loved listening to radio commentary on most sport, my fave blades moments off the radio are,
From the drowning field in about 92-93 (could be a couple of years earlier) on a pissy down Weds night coming back from Stocky colledge trying to find out the score in derby on radio....just got in car...switched radio on..."Blades winning 2-1 here in the second half, blades attacking..the ball goes out to John Gannon....he swings it into the penalty box...BOBBY DAVISON..with a header makes it three-one", think commo was Simon Clarke before he buggered off to Dull...

Jags's screamer..."OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH yes yes yes yes...", Paul Walker, think his co commo was a canadian who was actually very very good can't remember his name..but he went back to canada,,really good him and Walker, and Seth, Gidds is good as well, for all those who knock the Rad Sheff make the most of the footy Commentary for now they do Live...
 
Forgot to add these....Fleck....Clarke..........Duffy........Clarke.......
can't remember when that happened though ohhh well time for brain cell sleep
 
The fact they give Brian, the pitsmoor pig, the nob from Rovrum airtime every single day, I know some say Brian is experienced and also just winding pigs up but I think the joke has got to be over by now, personally I think he's a complete embarrassment to proper Blades

'Aaahm sat in my con-ser-va-torie with a bottle of red wine and - let me tell you - tomorrow, aahm going to start a pro-test...'

He doesn't need airtime. He needs help.
 
It’s absolutely fine. And we’d be lost without it.

So it’s a big praise for Radio Sheffield from me!

Mark the Pitsmoor Owl has got to be the biggest **** heard on live radio.

Armed robber from Gleadless. The guy is bi-polar when it comes to his attitude to
‘Mr Chansiri’ (fuckin hate that - desperate bastards). He was ready for giving it up 3 weeks ago the cunt.
