Why is BBC radio Sussex so precious about Prem scores?

Stat Brother · Nov 2, 2013

When commentating on a Brighton game in the Championship, why does JC go out of his way to apologise for reading out the Premier League scores?

'Oh I know people don't want to know football scores'.
If they didn't want to know the scores why the fook are they listening to the commentary of a freakin football match?
It's not like the two aren't connected.

It's bad enough the 25,000+ fans get short changed leaving The Amex for home matches.
'We'll be back to the Albion in a while, but now over for an in depth interview with the Woking manager'.
:facepalm:

There used to be a chap who phoned in Harty nearly every week to complain that he did not want to hear the Premier League scores as it ruined Match of the Day. He also complained to BBC Sx head of sport so assume that's why they now apologise

Well someone needed to tell him to stick it up his arse, a long time ago.

Shame on you Harty.

I count Harty among my friends but, dear god, there were some muppets who used to ring in on a weekly basis.

Dave from Hayward's Heath was his name. We were doing the show from Guildford, port vale away and every time that hawsey gave out a score, the stupid sod phoned in to complain!

The radio engineer taking the calls used to wave at us in the studio every time he called in!

So speaks someone who doesn't understand how public access radio works.

Who was that other Pelican who used to ring in on his walk home from Withdean? Suresh? Never seemed to know who played for us and Didn't seem to be interested in football at all.

Odd.

I was being frivolous.

I don't expect Auntie Beeb to tell anybody to 'stick it up his arse', no matter how much Dave from HH deserves it.

Maybe but Harty's phone in was world beating entertainment compared to what we have now at 5. I just do not want to hear about Woking, Aldershot, or anything from Surrey. To have to wait until 5.45 for Brighton coverage is appalling. OK we did have Bradford Bill on in the first half hour but give me Harty any day.

Which is true.

But assuming you have an interest in football, why should the beeb apologise for telling you about other football, while listening to the football.

I thought it was Alan Golds from Burgess Hill, I forget what his NSC name was but I think he ended up flipping out and getting banned on here for some offensive posting.

At least then any other ***cough*** 'comments' wouldn't have sounded out of place.
