trueblu Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I have never been one for phoning Praise or Grumble very much and I don't want people to think I'm knocking them. But I listened yesterday after the match and the first reference to Owls was at 5 :36 when they read out some texts and 1 of them was from an owl. The next ref was at 5:51 when Carlos came on Followed by that idiot Brian The Blade and another p*g (they hadn't even played) until the end of the show Everything else was Dingles or toytown. Have we made a pledge to boycott RS? Or are we being ignored? Like I've said I don't phone much but there always seemed to be a balance, and I miss it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modboy Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 not much to say i guess, god knows why they let Brian the Blade on at the end to spout his bitter drivel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Apparently Rotherham were absolutely terrible yesterday in what was a crunch game which is why praise and grumble had loads of calls from there fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrie Madden Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Obviously i call quite often ( tho nowhere near as often as i'm sometimes accused of ) but i personally think that if i haven't seen the game live or second best on telly then i don't have anything to contribute other than it's a shame we lost or brilliant we won so shouldn't be put on air. No matter how good the Radio Commentary is ( and as i've said times plenty i think RS are brilliant easily the best i've heard much better than 5live for example ) it can only give you an idea of the way the side have played, i'm constantly amazed at how some people on here have chapter and verse on exactly how a player performed when they've heard the exact same commentary i've heard . So on PorG i think only people who have been to the games (or watched on telly at a push) should be put on air because for me the point of the show is to get the fans perspective on the live match not how winning, drawing or losing has made a listener feel.

Very true, but there's nothing more entertaining than those callers who launch into a breathless rant about their team's performance, slating player after player and calling for the manager's head, only to be met with the timeless question: 'So did you go to the game today?' . . . . . . . .

Mr Farrell Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Could you graph the percentage of Wednesday calls in terms of airtime versus the other clubs ? Something as serious and important as this needs proper data before we take it further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
