    How can it be a rant when you posted the exact same thing in the talkSPORT thread 5 days ago?

    Rants are meant to be spontaneous.

    What? You've only just noticed.

    It's always been radio for pikeys (IMHO). :D

    Let them have what they want (within reason I wouldn't go as far as the Danish who have a Neo Nazi FM station), but you'll never find me listening to it.

    I stopped listening to Talksport once the great Mike Dickin passed away:(

    There has always been a slightly amateur feel about the station and I just cannot forget the time when they were doing football commentaries in front of a tv screen and dubbing the sound of a crowd and kidding us all that they were live from the ground.

    Shocking:eek:

    I have been a regular listener of TS since its start (Im not a pikey by the way) and as you can probably expect I strongly disagree with a lot of the criticism of the station's presenters. Adrian Durham knows a heluva lot about football. How can you say its limited to a postage stamp? That is outrageous. The guy lives and breathes the game, and hes great to listen to and I love his jokes and banter with Wrighty. Jon Gaunt, James Whale, Terry Christian, Quinny, all great presenters in their own right. Of course Galloway ruins the station and I think its utterly shameful he was given the great Dickin's slot to present his weekly Anti-Iraq/Afghanistan war "I told you so" rants we've heard a million times. Get some other lefty presenter in, anyone.

    If anything I am going off of the breakfast show a bit. I dont dislike Ronnie Irani and I think he does get a hard time too often on here, but his voice does grate on me I have to say. Its a shame hes been cursed with that Bolton patois, it really is. To be fair I dont think cricketers make good morning presenters. I suppose I should really be more supportive coming from Essex and following the county CC.

    Tomorrow morning i will finally wake up to a new radio station.

    I just cannot bear that breakfast drivel any longer and i cannot believe i allowed myself to be so forgiving for so long. I genuinely believed he would not last this long.

    Mr Ronnie Irani you are without equal.

    - the worst radio broadcaster i have ever heard
    - the most hideous false laugh
    - and where the hell does that exaggerated long a vowel sound come from (Eg laugh pronounced laaaarf. You are supposed to be from Bolton and here it is pronounced laff)
    - he knows nothing about sport and i include Cricket
    - he knows nothing about current affairs, politics, music, infact he knows absolutely nothing.
    - he has no chemistry with other presenters and does not engage
    - Stan Collymore did a breakfast show with him - he absolutely blew Irani to kingdom come.
    - he is actually getting worse but that is not my concern anymore. I cannot take any more.

    Talksport you are dying!

    Go on then; what are you listening to?
    Mr Ronnie Irani you are without equal.

    - the most hideous false laugh
    Worse than Mike Parry, Andy Jacobs, James Whale?

    Bit of a stereotype. Not everyone has a Fred Dibnah accent in Bolton.
