2015 Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 @Curr Avon Thanks for your work on these pods. I'm sorry you are constantly interrupted by Ian, especially around the 1 hour mark where he obnoxiously interrupts you for discussing City things of the past. It was totally relevant because the past is part of our present and is part of Bristol City and there was no need for that ignorance by your fellow guest. You've kept the podcast going for me the last few months.. Sadly I think this is the last straw for me as a listener and I've been listening since lockdown, Ian's abrasive and obnoxious behaviour has become totally unbarable. I would hate to be friends or talk to someone with such a rude and bulshy manner that he shows time and time again. 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 KUMB is hilarious today. On their match thread around pages 94-96, their red card was 'soft' and we should have had 5 (five) red cards. VAR blah blah blah. Tough shit cock-er-knees, it's a man's game in case you had forgotten in your Premier league bubble. According to them, we are 'crap thugs'. This from a club that had renowned hard men like Bonds and Lampard snr. They've forgotten what football is, a CONTACT sport! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical Prem fans, constantly wanting VAR scrapped (though less so when a decision goes their way) then complaining when it's not there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, there are over 1k comments under last night’s BBC match report and although there are certainly a good number along the lines you say above, I was struck by how many West Ham fans took defeat graciously, said it should be a man’s game, that City played better and fully deserved the win, and wished us all best in the next round. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, their forum is the same. I few ridiculous comments but plenty of them gave us credit and a lot of praise for our physical style. Not actually that many complaints, and even some of those complaining about the ref concede we deserved to win anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frenchred Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 @headhunteryour gonna have to try and reign him in, I've mostly enjoyed his inputs but just lately he's becoming an even more obnoxious cu next tuesday and your gonna start losing listeners which would be a pity as it's by far the best podcast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard Lerring Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 The podcast is much better with Neil or fevs on it, as it stops Ian being as outright rude to others. If one of my "mates" spoke to me in that way, we wouldn't be mates for long. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough if you think I'm being spiteful, but he is rude to the other guests, the host and various factions of our fanbase constantly.

JP Hampton Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 (edited) I’ve noticed whenever @headhunter asks Ian’s opinion there’s always a slight pause before Ian answers and rightly or wrongly it just makes me feel that it’s done for dramatic effect. Like we’re all waiting just to hear what Ian says. I do enjoy him being on the podcast and it wouldn’t be the same without him, but I’ve said it before, it’s really his arrogance that gets me. It’s not about having a difference of opinion either, that’s fine, but you really would think Ian had actually managed teams at this level when he says “ what I’d do….” I don’t think the fact that @headhunter seems to refer to Ian as if he’s the fountain of all knowledge helps either. I agree Mark keeps the programme light and friendly and he always manages to have a giggle at something along the way Allowing people to finish what they’re saying instead of this talking over each other would be better from a listening point of view too.

W-S-M Seagull Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 Bloody he'll watching Ian this morning you would not have believed that we had beaten a top 6 Premier league side the evening before! He clearly got out of the wrong side of the bed. Such a man child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to go back to 1981 for the "original" when Norway beat England 2-1. Hardly a "helluva beating" but part of commentator folklore!!

headhunter Posted January 18 Author Report Share Posted January 18 Regarding Ian and related comments from @2015 , @frenchred , @Bernard Lerring , @TomThumb84 , @luke_bristol , @The turtle , YES Ian did cross the line in his rudeness towards Mark in the latter stages of the podcast and I will have a quiet word. As you know, we do a pod after every game and I've never had a late withdrawal from Ian in the 200+ episodes we've done so on that basis he's become a permanent fixture. It is often not what Ian says but how he says it. His delivery, I acknowledge, often comes over as superior, belligerent, arrogant, aggressive or similar adjectives you might choose to describe him but for all his detractors there are many who comment that he doesn't talk *hit all the time! He is like Piers Morgan in that he generates reaction and personally I wouldn't want to lose him to a podcast equivalent of GB News 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I’d say that you can do that without resorting to those behaviours. I do think most of his detractors have actually said that they still enjoy him on the podcast, but for some (not me) the arrogance, belligerence and all the other adjectives you use, simply outweigh any value he may add to the conversation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRed Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 Ian " we're looking to bring in a striker, I know who it is but I'm not telling you his name or what country he's from but fans will be excited etc".

Sir Geoff Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 Jeez, Ian !!!!! asked what he thought of Max's save and spent 5 minutes talking about the goals we conceded at Preston. I thought I was listening to the wrong pod for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
