REDOXO Posted August 15, 2023 Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 I may be jumping the gun a bit as whatshisname has to bed in so to speak. But it was packed full of Alex Scott moments and interviews we have already heard vis a vis Pearson, Skuse and James. I’m always good with The interviews with the ladies team players and stuff, as it’s going on around the club and most of us are thrilled they are doing so well, but that was the only mildly interesting bit this week and probably went on a bit to long. I often shift my day around so I can hear it on the Monday at least, so perhaps I have just been spoiled with GT for as long as we remember, but for the love of god, Forever Bristol City makes that looks third rate (no disrespect meant to @headhunter et al at all there) Perhaps they should takeover the Monday evening slot on Radio Brizz. Anything but that garbage again! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted August 15, 2023 Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 I listened to SOTC this week and found it good. I find Ed pretty accomplished, and he knows he’ll always lack the “football authority” of Geoff-two-zero-man, but he’ll have the likes of Gary Owers alongside him I’m sure at times too (like he did the one the week before the start of the season, when he Nige on). I didn’t listen last week becayse Tony Wilkins was one of the fan-guests, and I find him a buffoon. I’m glad they’re continuing with it, we were spoiled with Geoff though. 10 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without fan input it was a load of already released sound bites , interviews and archive material. You have to actually have supporters and opinions otherwise laziness creeps in! This week it was the sound of the already broadcast, plus the girl at BCFC Women! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the self-appointed voice of Bristol City fans. Nothing against the fella as I'm sure he's lovely but as a contributor he offers very little. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of Action Man Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Yeah I thought it was pretty crap this week also. Yes, Alex Scott is a great player and will go on to become an even greater one. But the way the show was set up this week you’d think he was the messiah. Ed H - Give it a rest! Back to the normal format next week please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything but that garbage again! Let it go Geoff! I thought it was good. To be fair Twentyman often had repeated interviews too. I don’t have a problem with that as I won’t always have managed to catch them before. If you listen on BBC sounds a bit later in the evening (or even just behind live) you can always skip through the content that doesn’t float your boat. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atyeo's Love Child Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Even though they are covering our fave topic, it's pretty hard to fill a weekly hour long show with content. And I personally have zero interest in the women's team, so I do the same as Eardun.... listen another time and fast forward through the bits that don't interest me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably noticed that Ed read out my tweet re Alex. He’d actually DMd me too, asking if I’d call-in to chat about that game, but I didn’t see it til after the show. Could’ve been my debut. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to the normal format next week please! Swindon Town fan, what can you expect... Actually, EH is a pretty nice guy. And when you think about it, been in the job at Radio Bris for an aeon as well. In fact, there is remarkably little churn in that workplace. Staff arrive and rarely leave. As the OP said, it'll take a while to get going again, but I don't doubt it'll improve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 It's okay I suppose but it's certainly not what it was IMO. Still tune in on course but maybe it'll take time post Geoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephenkibby. Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Can't say i enjoyed the last episode. Definitely need some guest input for me, Gary Owers always comes across well. As i have no interest in Women's football the show was a bit boring for me . I know plenty do follow it and it's part of the coverage.

I disagree with a lot of what he says but he can be a decent listen. The host is dreadful though. Judging by Tony’s tweet, I’m not sure it’s the sort of bloke you’d wanna have a pint with..
