Phone in (2 Viewers)

[Paxman II]

I never really tune in but at my desk thought I'd get it on. So far one call in 20 minutes?
At that rate we might half a dozen calls in the hour!

...I suspect there is no one calling in? How embarrassing is this?

Phone in then .

What so I can improve their pathetic radio call in? Heading for 30 minutes and still only the one call...

 

[Bob Latchford]

What so I can improve their pathetic radio call in? That would be open to debate.

Time to change the format and go for a panel like ruck and maul
Local coaches, journo's ex players etc.

Phone-ins went stale as soon as they just turned into a rant-a-thon anyway. They work when they're like Danny Baker did them, with themes and anecdotes... and a host who can fill time if no bugger has an anecdote to tell him!

But really, can't remember the last time I intentionally listened to a phone-in.

(A caller to Rob Gurney asking him why every time he heard his voice, he had to have a wank was a classic, however!)

i remember the guy on BRMB radio many years back who was blunt, had loads of calls from the regions teams (Brum, Villa, W Brom, City etc) and he kept it going great and told a caller what he thought of them if he suspected they were talking rubbish and cut them off! Highly entertaining at the time. Can anyone remember the guy?

On yer bike!

 

[Bob Latchford]

Tony Butler however , the phone in has never been the same since Rob Gurney did it. don't mention that to Linnell , it upsets him .

 

[duffer]

Loads more people call when we're losing, or if Tim says something daft (redundancy alert), or we're in court etc. Maybe fewer callers is a good thing.

 

[zuni]

nob head pete just called in

 

[Paxman II]

thanks Wingy. Tony Butler. I remember the phrase now "on yer bike"

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

Apparently there's a programme on the telly at 7 about the demise of Coventry City according to a caller. Anyone tell me which channel?

This is the weirdest babestation I have ever watched!!

 

[Nick]

What is it?

 

[wingy]

Well that they've invested £70M so of course why would they sell at the bottom
Eventually they'll strike lucky, manager, players wise and up the leagues we'll go. :'(

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

170 or something like that.

You sure it's not channel 162 as currently a programme called Extreme cheapskates is on

 

[Bob Latchford]

Well that they've invested £70M Truly can't believe anyone buys that crap . the best they've done , if they have is , keep the club ticking over from selling our assets from the day they took over. I'm sure that would be about the 70m mark . so effectively , self sufficient from day one.

no idea . if on Sky .

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

What is it?

Sky channel 117 new channel i had never seen before 'Made in Bham' and it's the 'Goalzone' with Tom Ross & Ian Taylor talking Midlands football.
Tom Ross is sat a desk getting freaked out as the set keeps creaking and Ian Taylor is sat uncomfortably on a sofa that looks like it's been picked out of a garden in Hillfields.

Never missed much watch the first 3 minutes and had to turn over. All about Graham Taylor heard the Villa mensioned so had to turn over.
