BBc Berkshire post Fulham

[West Stand Man]

Oh what fun,and there was me thinking that he was just being deliberately provocative - silly me.

Oh no - I was right, and the half wits who couldn't tell that are still posting on here to show their shallowness!

[AthleticoSpizz]

sure made me laugh




2 ten fm do splendid coverage these days too

[Ian Royal]

BBCRB always used to be pretty good IMO, didn't hear it but given what I know of the station I fully expect Schards and co have missed the point and are overreacting.

Tim and Joel are usually pretty good.

[Ollie]

- players are paid too much
- the players have a duty to make each game as entertaining as possible
- players should only be paid if they win
- draws should be decided by shoot outs from the half way line

First two points could also apply to BBC Berks presenters, in fact the third could be linked to ratings.

Personally I'd apply the fourth one and have a shoot-out between Tim and Joel on the halfway line after each draw.

[Behindu]

Based on the post match rubbish I'd just shoot Joel...

It sounded as if he had been told to try and stir up some controversy, and he sounded very uncomfortable doing it.

It was utter nonsense (as Schards pointed out) and the station should issue an apology for insulting the intelligence of it's listeners.

For Joel to claim that becasue he had bought a ticket he was absolutely entitled to be 'entertained' was just silly. I suggest he watches out for the next circus to visit Hills Meadow - much more what he is after.

With resepct, if you didn't hear it you're not really qualified to give an opinion.

I was reminded yesterday about the bit where he compared the match to going to a Kylie Minogue concert and saying that if you didn't enjoy it you'd expect your money back.Well whatever you expect, you wouldn't bloddy get it.

Then went on to a discussion about whether it would be entertaining if Danni Minogue turned up and they had a fight over the microphone.

This is at just past 5 o clock when, presumably, they have their maximum audience as people drive home, they have texts pouring in, interviews they can play and callers wanting to give their opinion. Instead we're being served up this tripe. It may float Ian Royal's boat but not mine.

Anyone out there from BBC Berkshire got anything to say for themselves?

Not strictly true. When we have interviews ready to go after a game, you hear them - simple as that. If you're not hearing an interview, that's because it hasn't been done yet.

There are callers and one very eloquently put the opposing view to that given by Joel.

I think this needs a little context. Having listened to the game back at base I can't say I was there, but it's fair to say that second half sounded pretty dire. Joel's had to talk since one o'clock, including two 45-minute bursts punctuated only by Mick every now and then, and that second half must have been a killer. I don't blame him for running out of much to say about the game. If you look at From Despair To Where's post on the back from the game thread, I think Joel was feeling much the same about the Prem after that one.

We'll cheer him up on Monday. Get Murty to give him a good slapping.

That was the counter argument, and a very good one.

The point being that if a team turns up, plays scrappy direct football that is going to affect Reading ability to play entertaining passing football.

Let's sign Danni Minogue for the vacant midfield spot then!

If you go to a Kylie Minogue concert and didn't enjoy it then feel free never to go to another one again as the tickets will be snapped up by someone who will enjoy it. The same applies to Reading matches.

In both cases your not going to get a refund. Your buying a ticket to an event, enjoyment is not included in the price.

If refunds were permitted I will ask that they extend this to the Golden Gamble tickets as the vast majority of fans who bought Golden Gamble tickets got no enjoyment from the draw.

Perhaps the problem is we've had it so good for so long and some think football is always like that, These are the types who will bugger off if we become relegation fodder.

It should be applauded that the BBC come on here and post on this forum.

Agreed.

I like BBC Berks and like the fact things can go wrong and sometimes do.

Just a suggestion then - if he felt like that then why didn;t he say he did and talk some sense rather than resorting to spouting garbage ?
I think Joel is a good sports journo, he knows thegame and is articulate.

I heard Joel's rant after the game and I thought he was talking crap. As fans, we have no divine right to expect an entertaining game, the game has never worked like that and I hope it never will.

What I dislike about the Premiership and what inspired my rant is the hype and histeria over what is, for the most part, a very average league where there is a tacit acceptance that gamesmanship, favouritism and cheating are acceptable, and almost mandatory parts of the game. I honestly believe that as a team, we have tried to rise above the gamesmanship this season, no diving, no feigning, no crowding the referee, just honesty. I hope we can buck the trend and set the standard for others to follow but I fear that we will have to resort to the gamesmanship and cheating to survive long term and that thought sickens me. I'd rather lose fairly than win dishonestly.

[Behindu]

I pay my licence fee and expect to be provided with entertainment when I listen.

The jpurnos are highly paid professionals and should be able to talk endlessly in an informative, erudite and articulate manner.

I await with eager anticipation one of the following from Jole:

- a refund of the proportion of my licence fee representing the 20 minutes he wasted on Saturday
- front row seats to the Minogue sisters wrestling match which he advertised

[AthleticoSpizz]

End of the day, Mick Gooding knows what he is talking about and Joel Hufford knows nothing.

I will be listening to 107 from now on. I just hope the players werent listening to that cock.

something was wrong today. Didnt see him talking such rubbish in previous seasons when were losing and had loads of boring matches.

JOEL HUFFORD OUT! Any fan in the stadium today could do a better job.

no Sir, you are the cock.

Whether you or I liked what he said or not........he said it in the correct context....a place that some of you will never go.


Would you prefer TalcSport or 5 Dead?....210 are a perrenial joke


....and unfortunately 107 have became a localised clone of Two Ten FM in the past 18 months

[Turns8]

I think the Kylie Minogue Q needs to be top of the list for next Friday's footy phone in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Some people have compared recent games to watching a rubbish Kylie Concert...Discuss.....

[Turns8]

What's more entertaining

End of season Royals game or the minogue sisters mud wrestling
