Philly The Kid Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 Can't stand the blokes style or delivery but tbf to him he was very complimentary towards us during the cup run and even went so far as to say wouldn't it be fantastic if a club in the sw of england got to the prem. As for arrogance and smugness, he's right up there with Jeremy Vine, Gavin from auto windscreens and Brian Steele from Bateman skips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLRed Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 I appreciate he is the biggest turd in media. Complete brown nose and opinions are not based on his own morals and integrity but what suits popularity at the time to make himself look good. Interview techniques are annoying and doesn’t listen to anyone, even if explaining the truth as he’s only continues to revert back to subject title until someone agrees.

I’m not interested in Murdoch or his empire RR. As a Sky customer I have all the channels and sport I want. I’m watching test cricket right now. The coverage is superb as it is with football, darts, golf.........and I don’t mind paying the subscription.......I wish they’d cover bowls as well.................

Colin Murray was very good and he left. H and J show is tiresome. Durham show is an extreme version of its former self. Never listened to Alan Brazil.

I thought it was jointly owned by Comcast and Fox, but it seems Comcast acquired the last of the Fox shares about 18 months ago. I don't watch a lot of telly, so any subscription channel is a waste of time with me. Mrs RR pays for Netflix and Amazon, but that's her choice not mine.

Have a Netflix subscription, watch Quest for highlights, but watch and listen to YouTube the most. Far more interesting and informative than telly.

Atticus Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 Im sick of it, im sick of hearing snide remarks whenever somebody quotes anything from the express/mail/talksport/sun. I cannot stand the Guardian. The opinion pieces in that rag are laughable. And so detached from reality. Yet, I wouldn't make no snide comment if a sports piece came from that paper.

No one asks you to buy the Guardian, nor has anyone ever asked you to. I don't like TalkSport because of the tedious top-of-the-PL obsessed droning twonks they've always seemed to have on, when I've been unfortunate enough to listen. Maybe I'm missing a treat. I doubt it. I don't really like listening to commercial talk radio from anywhere. As for getting a Sky subscription, I've already outlined why it would be pointless for me.

I have the same opinion of him as I have on various others on TalkSport, which I outlined above. If you ask me what sport writer I rate most I'd tell you Henry Winter. He's on the Murdoch-owned but still quite readable Times now, but was on the Telegraph - a joke paper sadly these days - for years. That doesn't stop Henry from being an insightful journalist with excellent contacts in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
