Adrian Durham - TalkSport

[SCIAG]

Radio shock jock exaggerates a point for laughs.

In other news, I got caught in the rain today and the water was wet.

[TiagoIlori]

We’ve been getting this for years I don’t know why people still get wound up by people making silly comments. Far bigger issues both within football and in general to worry about than what one tosser thinks.

[CountryRoyal]

I genuinely couldn't give less of a shit what people think about us.

[Sutekh]

Anyone really care what one guy on the radio says about a club to wind up its fans and get a reaction when that is actually the nature of his job on the station anyway? Well used to Reading being written off and/or ignored by the mainstream media, and given their track record that can only be a good thing overall. Long may it continue.

Not sure where to post this, but wanted to bring it to everyone's attention.

I don't listen to Talkcrap, but I have been forwarded a piece from some cnut called Adrian Durham that absolutely rips us (RFC) to shreds.
Again, as someone that doesn't listen to this dreadful station, I am advised that Adrian Bellend is a very much "look at me, look at me" anus
that says stuff to wind folks up.

Talkbollox is an awful station if I recall, and they rely on antagonistic comments to try and raise their listener numbers into double figures.

So, Adrian Durham, remember the name.....a twat of the highest degree.

Mods - please move to wherever appropriate. I just get hacked off when someone that knows nothing about our club, slags us off.

LOL looks like he has succeeded

Isn't Goughy a Barnsley fan? Surely we were in his thoughts a bit?

Anyway, if Durham could see this he'd be cock-a-hoop

Part time Barnsley fan, and also a Spurs fan, which says all you need to know really. Adrian Durham aka the self styled “Ginger Numpty”, has become a parody of himself in recent years. As previously said, he will take a polar opposite view to someone, not necessarily because he really believes in the point he is making, but to froth up his mainly cab driving audience in to a frenzy of high cholesterol and blood pressure so they phone in to the “show” which is the radio equivalent of The Sun newspaper.

I love Adrian Durham. I believe that's who Ian's character is based on.

He was more or less 100% correct though. It might hurt your feelings but he is factually accurate.

I didn't even know Talksport covered anything outside the Prem. TBH I would rather not have serial nob heads spout anything about Reading - good or bad. Happy the irrelevant to the media.
Even the local media are usually quiet about Reading as well however if someone done a big fart near Fratton Park they would be the main sports story on Meridian

[South Coast Royal]

One thing for those with a hang-up about recognition of our club-I reckon that when the blue and white hoops are seen it is Reading rather than QPR that other clubs' fans think of whereas go back 20 years and it was firmly the other way round.

Reading are usually a good answer to any league football questions on Pointless

What is Talksport?

I think it's a radio station where they have talks half the time and the rest of the time they discuss port wines or towns with harbours.

Quite funny the other day actually, the contestants were asked to name any city in the UK with an odd number of letters, one woman said Reading.

Zeebrugge that.

Perfect PR storm for Durham where he's played a blinder. You really think he cares if he winds up Reading fans? Tbf he has a point, we probably are an irrelevant club to anyone who doesn't support us - but why should we care!? But it has bothered people more than it should have and just given them the PR they need to promote the show within football fans.

The more people that talk about him and TS the more relevant they become. The Club official Twitter account tweeting about it too just adds to it - no idea why they had to do that. Basics.

What is Talksport?

It's a radio station that broadcasts adverts for building suppliers interspersed with calls from Clive in Southend who can't believe that Ronaldo was given offside last night.

Corrected for you

[From Despair To Where?]

What is Talksport?

It's a retirement home for washed up Sky Sports pundits who can't get work anywhere else.
