torres Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Booked day off today to prepare (go to pub) before going tonight Watched SSN and read a couple of national papers and not a great deal has been mentioned about tonight. I know the premier league gets flogged to death, so if a Liverpool player sneezes it’s going to be huge news, but the Derby Forest game had a lot more coverage than ours despite it not even being a Derby!!! Despite being a massive football city I do think we are always overlooked on a national basis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dronowl66 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Why would you care what anyone else thinks outside the city its the shiittee Monday morning from lads in the shop that bothers me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Might be a good thing if we are overlooked with how things might pan out tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree completely Goes back to our 150th year - no one but us has a clue. Most other clubs we’d be sick of hearing about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Showing off is a bit uncouth , so it's now surprise the mob up the M1 do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidioso Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 But we're live on SKY for the fifth time this year! In fact more than clubs like Villa and Forest, both ex European champions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkstar Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 It's only of interest to us. Nobody else gives a poo. If there's any coverage at all outside the city it's only cos Sky are showing it anyway. The only time it was ever any different was when we were both in the Premier League, other than that it's just another game no bigger than Norwich Ipswich or the Bristol derby nationally.

robowl4life Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Who gives a f00k, we all know what it means and that’s all that matters. Nobody will ever understand what it’s like that’s never lived in the city. F00k them and f00k the media. I do agree though, Sheffield on a whole seems to get overlooked and it’s always L##ds that gets attention but f00k them too. Can you tell me anyone outside of L##ds who really gives a f00k about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough he slagged Carlos off and got a reply; CC: I will always try my best and do things correct and I can’t do more than this.

ChinaOwl Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Two clubs woefully out of form drifting towards mid table mediocrity in the Championship. I can see why the interest in this one outside supporters of the two clubs is low. I can't think it will be capturing the imagination at a national level.

hodgybysea Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 My lad was listening to talkpremonly yesterday and they were proudly mentioning the 'steel derby' but kept saying Colin was them other lots manager,prats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarn owl Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 2 championship teams who are never in the PL together except 25 years ago. Except in Sheffield this game isn't going to be attractive. If we were both in the top league at the top end with more internationals and recognisable players I'm sure sky would have a giant build-up and call it 'Steel Friday'. Until then it will just be another game for the nation to put a cheeky bet on if they are bored or addicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrewsburyowl Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Talk sport has mentioned the game (in between droning on and on about the Sanchez transfer) and they have live commentary. Alan Brazil kept referring to the game as the 'steel derby'. some other presenter read out the form guide and concluded "it should be a very even contest" Ive heard two interviews with Chav Wilder and one interview with Wednesday err legend wee pipe from wee pipe and Dom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
