It was the week's biggest talking point amongst fans though The shows are delivered to attract fans, discuss the topics that are current and maximise listeners Therefore if many fans are discussing the question, if they ask the question they will get more listeners, more people will talk about the programme, and the rumour can get quashed or confirmed either way (sometimes). It makes total sense to me and I can't see anything wrong with debating it for a short while on the radio show (pretty sure it only took up like 1 or 2 minutes of a 60 minute show?) It might just be that you're very sensitive to that particular question Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 Got ya I think ultimately Football Heaven and Praise Or Grumble are topical shows meaning they discuss the topics and subjects that fans are discussing at the time I honestly don't see anything wrong with them asking the questions that you'd not have them ask To me it feels that you're oversensitive to that particular question being asked All opinions though eh?

Now the accounts have been announced even more fans believe it could be a real thing Surely presenters putting those questions to the club to put them to bed is a good thing? nothing wrong with asking if there was an injury conspiracy but he cant have expected for the club to confirm there was one .....wouldn't be much of conspiracy if they owned up to it so what was the point of asking ...... a good journalist you'd think what have got some sort of fact/proof to throw back at them once they had denied it ......if i got in touch with a journo and said the lord mayors on a backhander he wouldn't go ploughing in asking him questions he 'd want summat to back up the accusation .

Not saying he could But there's always the chance the club could just say 'that it absolutely totally not true. it's totally made up and it's definitely NOT happening here' That's what could be achieved by asking the question Puts it to bed, ends the speculation, and moves the debates onto the next topic Absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever with asking the question and I bet if you asked the Sheffield Wednesday press team, Mr Chansiri or Jos Luhukay they'd tell you the exact same thing Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g-owls Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Can anyone remember a RS presenter called Steve Houghton? 2003 time? He wasn’t backwards in coming forward when it came to giving an opinion. The best commentator during the time I’ve listened to RS is without doubt Paul Walker. A mention to Seth though, those two combined well together.

"Uurgh, they've got to be busting a gut there,Seth." .......... "Oooh, and he's down, that looked a bad one. The ball seemed to hit him in the er, lower stomach" "He's took that right in the wedding tackle,Seth . But Tthat's what players should do when they play for Sheffield Wednesday.

Staton is an Owl but he seems to have a chip on his shoulder with the club for some unknown reason. I hope its just frustration that we are underachieving, but he seems to have had the knifes out for Jos from the press conference when he was unveiled. Asking questions like what does he know about the Championship? I don't think it helps that he has to hang around with the other BBC (Blades Business Crew) reporters at Radio Sheffield who seem to encourage wild deluded criticism of Sheffield Wednesday and joyously declare they're off t'Lane on Saturday. Not that I'm bitter about the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 Those saying Staton has a chip on his shoulder or gets no info from the club make me laugh It's such a bitter inaccurate view Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
