Rob staton

I get all this. Staton business.
But regards fans turning on managers, teams, owners is not solely the domain of Sheffield Wednesday.
On here in the past. comments have been slagging off all and sundrie at BFC. Been at games a plenty with ugly scenes from our fans to our own players that have been appalling. Let's just get behind our team and fekk the rest. There are those that openly slag off players by name. Calling em useless ******* (on here) whilst they are still at the club. Does absolutely nothing but destroy a players confidence.

 

Aye, I remember a shout from the Ponty back in the 80s "Cunningham, tha like 14 stone o' black puddin'".

 

You’re not wrong of course. But you have to admit, singing “You’re not fit to wear the shirt” and racially abusing the manager the game after you’d just finished on 96 points is next level stuff.

 

As unbiased as they try to remain on radio Sheffield, Staton is the one that let's the mask slip the most. He occasionally has a dig at their fans about their obsession with attendances just for balance, but then in the next breath calls Hull's support from a game 7 years ago pathetic.

 

We didn't do it after finishing with 96 points in a season

 

Does that excuse it. ?

 

I always thought Paul Walker was as bad and as annoyingly biased towards the Fowls as well. Especially when John Pearson was also screaming away in the background.
I haven't listened to these radio station since those days.

 

This. We judge our own fans by the majority and judge other teams' fans by the minority.

 

I don't like criticising people doing a job I couldn't do but Radio Sheffield was better without him.

He spends half the phone ins antagonising people and picking arguments aggressively about fine details rather than letting the caller have their point respected. "Whoa, whoa (insert name here), don't put words in my mouth. I never said (insert what he more or less said here)" is pretty much his catchphrase. It's like listening to a Twitter argument.

Giddings and Oxley are fantastic journalists on the other hand.

 

It's beyond unreal really is.

 

I’ll give him a bell on Tuesday

 

Been blocked today for calling him out on his absence of impartiality on twitter after he was gloating about winding Blades fans up.

Very, very thin skinned.
