Could not believe this, Was driving home this evening listening to this when next thing , this game is brought to you by the irish ***. Really enjoyed this over the years, have a good mind to mail them one sunday about how liverpool fans feel about the rag and see if it gets read out
I was fed up with off the ball about 2 years ago now anyway. They had a nice little niche market, but then they all started to believe their own hype. Now they spend way too much time reading out text messages from people who feed their ego's and try and out do each other with their knowledge (which is crap, they are always getting facts wrong, which wrecks my head) and "humour". Anyway, if they hadnt lost me as a listner already, well they definitely have now.
Stopped listening to off the Ball a while back although tuned in for the Cohen Interview. Ken Earley is a first class clown, he is trying to be the new Eamo Dunphy for last few years taking the the piss out of Stan and Rafa. Never listened to Sunday Premier League Show, although caught the Sunday Sports Phone In show the odd Sunday and had to stop the car to try and ring. Could not get on so sent in a text about the muppet Liverpool 'fans' calling for Rafa to go after a draw last season. Wowed never to listen to it again as its a whopperfest
A few e-mails of complaint would do no harm lads Here's the contact page: http://newstalk.ie/newstalk/contact-us.html If they think they would lose a lot of listeners, their next JNLR figures would be weaker which in turns means they will not be able to sell as much advertising, so suggest thats the best way to make your point to them
I reckon be safer going straight to Sports Editor, email address is on the same page. I have just fired him on email to say I am disappointed and that they will lose a serious amount of Liverpool fans due to their association with the rag.
Here is mine, sent Hi Jerry Just writing to let you know that as a Liverpool fan, it was really disappointing to see that your sunday sports show is now sponsored by the irish rag aka the sun. Im sure you have received more emails about this topic, as a sports fan you should know what the sun said about liverpool fans after Hillsborough. If you dont know then do a quick search for the sun hillsborough April 1989. I am really disappointed in newstalk to be honest i wont be listening to you guys anymore ill tune into five live and i will make sure to let my fellow supporters clubs and online supporter clubs know of the partnership that you now have acquired.
