Not sure if there has been a thread on this already? .Was just wondering if any of you have text in after a match to a sport radio station and actually have had your text read out.I must have text in about 20 times never seem to get read out .
I remember once a bit pissed (there's a theme here) I rang in Setanta Sports's version of "you're on sky sports" or whatever it is. Dean Kiely was the guest and next thing i know I was called back and I'm on the phone chatting to Deano.
I was sat in the hallway and I could hear Ian yelling in the front room "he's smiling he's smiling" as i bigged him up.
Loads read out on 5 Live. Not just football but other sports, current affairs and on Radio2 as well. I am a serial texter to the BBC. Probably most of my successful ones have been on Wake up to Money on 5 Live. I love to pick up mistakes made by their so called experts on there who seem to know nothing of the workings of the financial markets. Worst offender Mickey Clarke. Also I am constanly texting 5Live regarding deal old Alan Green but they seem to ignore those. Had to pick up that old fool David Pleat the other night as he was talking about Spurs and how they lost to Manchester and then moments late spoke about Balatelli also playing for this ambiguous team Manchester. No mention of Utd or City, just Manchester. He's always doing it, idiot. Have had 3 or 4 contributions to The Chain on Radcliffe and Maconie accepted, been on Ken Bruce's Pop Master and won Stuart Maconie's retro quiz on his old Saturday show on 2. Many years ago, circa 1985 I was on Graham Deane's breakfast show on Capital Radio for a week and won Minute to Win It, £306, a lot of dough then.
I've been on the Guardian Football Weekly podcast 3 times.
One of those times was when there were apparently a couple of Arabic businessman interested in buying the club and I wrote in saying something along the lines of "I'd rather go down to League One than be taken over by people with no real interest in the club or its history, then will get bored and leave us in big trouble."
Rafael Honigstein completely shot me down, but what did he know?!
Not texts but ..... Phoned up 606 last Saturday night , was so disgusted that they'd not mentioned our New Shiny extended Away wins for the sequence ... gave them a piece of my mind .... at the end of the programme for about 20 seconds ... Dang that Robbie Savage.... :-0
Never had one read out but one of the best Charlton related one I heard was an Addick who called Talkshite. The odious Adrian Durham was the presenter (Durham has red hair), we had just been relegated from the Prem. The caller was about to make a valid point I am sure, however Durham introduced him sarcasticallly, 'We have ..... who is a Charlton supporter, whats it like being a Charlton fan now then?'. Our hero replies, 'Well its better than being Ginger'!
Collymore was having a discussion on the cost of going to watch Football the Saturday we played Exeter at home last season(Football for a fiver) on Talksport. I tweeted him saying we had a crowd of around 14k the previous home game and 24k today because the tickets were a fiver and that this was indication that fans even in League one can't always afford to go.
No texts read out as never sent any but I did get 1 hour of my musical choices played on Planetrock on their Rockblock hour.Played daily between 1 pm and 2pm. It was over a year ago now but it made me smile and the music was perfect for 1 hour.:))
