BanburyRed Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 For the 2nd day in a row, talkshite TalkSport have been referring to clubs as 'tinpot' - have they been reading OTIB for inspiration?! Tonight they referred to Aston Villa as 'tinpot', and yesterday Barnsley, Birmingham AND Millwall for having no goalline technology caused by faulty floodlights. Sadly no mention of our dear comedic friends in their famous (?) blue n white quarters.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodjias Wrist Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Mate the sags aren't even in the same bracket as tinpot, more poop pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTFiGO!?! Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 I've just listened to a bit of it in the first time in months and had to switch it off. The silence now is like cool, running water to a parched man in a desert. Lovely. I get more insightful views that are more tolerably received on otib. Migrane inducing shite.

Jacki Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 I stopped listening to it a while ago now. Hearing Darren Gough, an opinionated gobshite with no more football knowledge than anyone in here, pontificating on football is absolutely painful. The only one worth listening to was Danny Kelly but now he's on with Joey Barton he will be completely unlistenable as well. It used to be a great listen but now it's loud, attention seeking tabloid tripe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 There's a Cockney bloke on with Jim White, who seems to have fallen into the studio having enjoyed a massive all-night binge. Thought it was a one-off, but he seems to be present daily. Totally bizzare. The afternoon guys ain't bad, but I've moved on to Radio X - a decent music station - avoiding at all costs the other sports national radio channel, Radio 5 'Lenin'.

Some people don't like them It's maybe they're a desired taste? Definitely an acquired taste, as soon as they come on i switch off. Hawksbee & Jacobs on an afternoon worth listening to, as is Danny Kelly. I normally have it on as background noise rather than silence than anything else, those would the only 2 real programmes i would actively listen to. And i'll definitely be turning off when the betting legend that is Joey Barton starts talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawksee and Jacobs always gave me the feeling of a mid-week pub lunch and a few afternoon beers, while casually discussing the events of the day and any other ensuing anecdotes. They have a good chemistry about them. We'll agree to disagree on Michael and Michael. They drew me right in and I found them entertaining. Ads were always a major pisser during my TalkSport listening days. "Get it straight from Salco - it's where the trade go!" will still be ringing around my brain when I'm a 94 y/o rattling about a dementia residential place. It's cruel (TalkSport).

Carey 6 Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Hawksbee and Jacobs is the best show on there by absolute miles. Andy Jacobs opinions tend to echo mine on most things (yes I'm a miserable sod too) Goldsteins sports Bar in at a close second. Disappointed they got rid of the daily podcast in favour of a weekly one last week. It's a bit late for me to listen to in the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
