RS Jonny is at it again!

[cahill]

I've just about given up on RS football. Giddings is ok, Station is sneery, Buchan is ok but his accent is terrible as someone has already pointed out. Buchan's " what do you think TO it" instead of " what do you think OF it" is irritating, or is it my grammar that's wrong ?

The callers to Football Heaven..... well ?

I can only assume that 'pretty good' is a reference to the half-decent results he achieved at first. The quality of football was horrible. Stephen Quinn, who was rightly known as Elpiton during SemiPro's tenure, went on record as saying that his career went backwards under both he and Quickfix Mickey.

The way we play now is scarcely recognisable as the same game, thank Pele.

I agree the brand of football was awful. And it got gradually worse as Blackwell filled the squad with poorer and poorer footballers. When he first took over from Robson, he took us on a good run almost into the playoffs (similar to Clough in his first season). In Blackwell’s first full season, he still had a good squad of mostly inherited players (Tonge, Hulse, Stead and Beattie were sold during the season) but he brought in a couple of decent ones in Halford and Sunjihai and again, we performed reasonably well just missing out on 2nd. Perhaps if our January business had been better (Craig Beattie FFS) we might have made it. The football wasn’t great that season but he had the team organized and we still had some individuals who could entertain us (Speed, Cotterill, the Kyles etc.). What happened the following summer took us backwards significantly. The Kyles moving on. Speed and Ehiogu retiring, the likes of Matt Spring, Simon Walton, Lee Williamson, James Harper, Ched Evans coming in. When Killgallon went and we kept patching up with the likes of Nosworthy, Bartley, Seip, Fortune etc. we were on a hiding to nothing. Then the summer after we brought in heroes like Bogdanovic, Ertl, Simmonsen etc. to compound an atrocious squad. Quinn in that last 18 months in the championship did become “elpiton” and looked like a shell of a footballer.

Thank God, I thought it was just curmudgeonly me that got annoyed by that expression

Sadly, as well as Mark The Pitsmoor Armed Robber and Mick The Rawmarsh Phone In Bully, we have our own share of embarrassing callers, apologies to any of them who post on here, nothing personal and I'm sure you're great blokes in real life, but please don't phone in again:-

Brian the Blade, self-explanatory I'm sure
Kevin, err, erm, err, erm if you must phone in, try and formulate a sentence before you get through, I can practically hear you, err, thinking
Ian, Eckington Blade, ex-Blackpool Blade, I doubt many people are that interested in where you live, and even less in where you lived before
Sam, he tries his best, but repeating the same phrase four times before moving on to the next phrase is not entertaining or enlightening listening

Honourable exceptions are David from Bolton, who seems to have a grasp on reality and can string a sentence together and 2-1 Ken, who's funny.

I'd include Robin from Glossop who can be ok despite a bit of constant repetition ' he's like, he's like he's like err he's like' spit it out lad
I'd be terrible hate how my voice sounds
