BBC Radio Berks

[leon]

Fcuk me, this is grim reading lads. Even for the Team Board.

People with dogmatic views criticising other people with dogmatic views in an ever decreasing circle of small minded shit.

[Ascotexgunner]

Actually I would say Tim is the passionate one and rarely sits on the fence - Adi is just embarrassing with his attempts to be contraversial and his predictable sound bites... “my favourite part of the show - Tim Dellor’s stat attack” ...for a ‘sports journalist’ he should perhaps concentrate on his own stats - according to him (today) we lost 3 - 2 to Derby on the opening day of the season

And just for the record..... it’s Terry from the IOW

Cheers mate....Terry that's the one. I think its when I latch onto the " Isle of Wight" bit I get the red mist and everything in my life becomes irrelevant. He gets so much bloody airtime its unreal. I'm normally fighting the self control button when Im driving 'home on the M4.

No one willing to call up a radio phone in and talk about a game is worth listening to.

He never talks about the games though......its always stats and how those stats prove Stam or Clement could have turned it all around. I don't know if you ever watch Arsenal Fan TV which can be hilarious (and I do watch it now and again just to remind me how shallow and deluded fans can be).....there's a bloke on there called TY and even when that club is being mullered or underperforming he always tries and finds something positive about the club and come up with some crappy historical stat to back it up. They are so similar its untrue.
There is so many times I'd like to pick the phone up to BBCRB my feeling is I'd get cut off because I'm likely to swear.....or probably say the wrong thing. There must be loads of fans trying to get through but its always the same people and there are times all of them seem so bloody diplomatic about some of our horrendous performances.

[Denver Royal]

Gomes is going to prove Dim Dellor wrong,

Even if Dellor is 'proved wrong' as a fan of this club surely he will be as delighted as the rest of us?

That's not always the way it works.

[Rea Ding]

Agree Dellor's a fanboy, which is why he isn't very good. Way too emotionally invested to do his job properly. Mick's good. Adi is just playing the controversy for the ratings, which is all just a bit tragic.

Dellor is more a prime Royals Boo Boy. Uses BBCRB to wage personal campaigns against individual players and/or manager (quite vicious on occasions) then bleats like hell when listeners call/text/tweet to pick him up on it. He also goes on big time about managers after the game but then refuses to put the points he has been making to the manager himself, instead leaving it to Williams to ask the difficult/critical questions. Typical of this was when he ducked the half-time team talk issue with Clement when Clement challenged him. Public school bully boy.

Last line said it all, you have a chip on your shoulder as he went to public school.
We are lucky to have a genuine fan and 2 ex Reading players on our local station rather then just 3 boring neutral journos imo

The reason the same people always get through is because they're the only loons calling.

You have to be extremely lonely to get to the point where you feel the need to call Radio Berks post match. Don't think I've ever heard a good call post game, normally some old boy just waiting to die who hasn't even seen the game.

[Snowflake Royal]

I think schards has called in on occasion.

I think the callers fall into 3 categories usually, lonely, mad or so angry all judgement has fled.

He'll also pick favourites and worship them, blind to any short comings. CoughGuntercough.

So in other words just like half the posters on here. A fan boy.

Coming from you with your bile filled rants about Madejski and others, it's also a bit rich.

He can't be that blind, because I have heard him criticize Gunter several times this season.

I would definitely fall into the third category

No different to 606 callers. Many of whom have only ever watched their teams in the good times.

[peterroyal76]

Dim also reckons he cares more than the people who travel the country and pay to watch because he’s the one who has to interview the manager and players.

So you’re all shitter fans than Tim.

We are lucky to have a genuine fan and 2 ex Reading players on our local station rather then just 3 boring neutral journos imo

Guess what type of school I went to?

Amateur psychology fail!

A special one?

[AthleticoSpizz]

Some here need to lighten-up, and as if it even needed saying......

.....there is already whole section dedicated on hna to BBC Berks

However, amongst the criticism and chagrin here for their footballing output, what is the alternative?.....for those that recall The Royal Box or Radio 210...you already know that answer lol

RoyalBlue, that explains a lot.

[Millsy]

BBCRB is absolutely fine.

A great mix of two ex players, one of whom took us to Wembley as a manager and a commentator who is clearly an emotional and opinionated fan.

Dellor does the emotion, as a fan.
Adi also does and it's entertaining and interesting when they disagree just as all fans do (like us !)
And Gooding is the grounded one.

They all have their annoyances.

Dellor- I hate the commentary when I'm often left wondering if there is a goal. Just oxf*rd say "GOAL!!" When a goal has been scored rather than some descriptive piece of shit that goes on for ages until you figure out a goal has indeed been scored after several minutes of rambling. We can't see what you can see! It takes the excitement out of listening to football when I'm kind of half cheering because it's not clear if we've actually scored. Other than that though I thoroughly enjoy his emotion, his passion, his biases. It'd be a real shame to lose him.

Adi- has massively improved. I find it funny when he asks for an opinion from a caller he always makes sure he gives his opinion first and leads them to agree with him. "What do you think about X. I think this and this wouldn't you say that's right?". The only other thing that really pissed me off is him going on about Wolves "my former club" and how he had a great time there. I don't give a flying f**k about Wolves. We don't like them, they don't like us. STFU about Wolves we don't give a shit. You're hired because you're a Reading legend not a Wolves player. Still, a top top lad and we're lucky to have him at BBCRB.

Mick - no flaws. Absolute legend. Love the guy.

Overall they put on a great show and would rather this mix with their mini-flaws than boring neutral nonsense.

[Denver Royal]

Good post.

Dellor is alright, but goes over board sometimes. The other week, Aluko lost the ball in the middle of the park, and so then Dellor went off on Aluko for about 20 mins, mid game. He has it in for certain players. He didn't much like Vydra when he was here, either.

I recall that some felt Dellor had something to do with Rogers being fired? I was never sure whether to believe that, or whether he had that much influence(?)

[Old Man Andrews]

Not even slightly a good post. Anyone who thinks Mick Gooding is decent on the radio needs their head checking, he might as well not be there. He is a fence sitter and offers zero to the coverage.

Agreed was a decent post.
