Harty - patronising and pompous

[westy]

That's because you wanted to take the match atmosphere home with you.

Ha ha, yea!

Just picked up on the extent of this thread as i've been offline for a couple of days...
I posted on page one that this was typical of the usual ridiculous over-reacting of Brighton fans about a non-event. How well this thread has exemplified that!?

It's insane to want to get rid of Harty, because quite simply he IS the phone-in. Not one of us could do a better job, and frankly not many would have the balls to either.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.. and no-one is going to convince me in a million years that the majority want him out. That is total cobblers.

The senseless persons on here seem keen to start a witch hunt. When Harty does indeed depart and the phone-in becomes as much a non-event as this debate, maybe you can congratulate yourselves by listening in to the enthralling radio that is non-league rugby reviews, because that's what'll be in it's place.

Oops, sorry about the above. I wanted to respond to JtM's post. I don't think the majority of replies are suggesting getting rid of Harty. But 8 pages on this thread does suggest that people have a view on the phone-in.

I listened to the programme and do think Harty was patronising, petulant and his snidey comments throughout his programme made him sound immature (or insecure?).

Saturday's phone-in should have been a celebration of a fantastic day for the Albion: beating Forest, a great team performance, the new signings settling in, a bumper crowd. Yet, I felt, there was too much emphasis on the Naylor article fall-out and the kids horns (thought it sounded brilliant from the South Stand!).

Harty (with DTG) does a great job with the phone-in and I hope he continues. This incident shouldn't be blown out of all proportion. Once he realised he'd been a bit of a jerk, he did apologise and offered to phone Sue. I think that takes guts.

For once I missed the Phone in on Saturday and the game actually (what a bad fan I am).

I always love the phone in, regardless, not sure what Harty did wrong here but it does seem a massive over reaction.

Ian loves the club and I would rather have him do the phone in than anyone else. He has apologised so move on. People are so over sensitive.

I agree with Jam The Mans post 100%.

Keep up the good work Harty and dont be driven out by a minority.

I thougt he was completely correct! The minute you have women talking about your football club you know you have problems. In my eyes they should be banned from watching the game completely unless they are making the tea at ht, and catch a glimpse of the second half as they bring it to you.

Well done Harty!

I think Harty is great, and would much rather have him than some non-passionate person who never said boo to a goose.

HOWEVER, in my opinion, he'll do well to try and execute some respect for his callers, who, at the end of the day, make his show what it is.

If you have never phoned in before, here is the procedure

Call in 08459 570057


When you phone in, you are asked what you would like to talk about....normally peopel say "i was at the game" or " just Brighton" or in Kaney/Leroy's case " I just want to come on and make an insulting remark about someone cos I am clever and not really a wanker, oh no siree"

Whoever takes the call will ask you for your phone number so he/she can call you back.

You are called back and are normally put on hold.

Ian then is told on the headphones by Sophia or Tim how many calls we have, if there are any texts, and where there are callers, their names ( or NSC handles) and what they want to talk about.

If you have to wait, its the BBC that pays so it costs you nowt, and you are patched through to the live feed so you can listen to what is said.

That is the only way Ian knows what peopel are going to say.

If someone says they want to talk about Brighton and then sings the coco the clown circus song, like they did at Brentford I think it was, then there is nothing whatsoever the BBC can do about it, it is up to Ian to " cut them off"

what do you do?

Good to see Mike Newell up and about so early. Still the quote of the season: "That might sound sexist - but I am sexist."

 

[El Presidente]

only on NSC could we have a four/five page thread about the phone in, and bugger all about the fact that Saturday's victory was the first for two years in which we have come from behind to win.

Quite! and the fact we're in 11th!!

 

[CHAPPERS]

I've been on the phone in a few times and if you actually have something to say then Harty will talk to you about it and try and keep you from wandering off point too much. It seems now people just ring in to either take the piss or moan, form what I've read here. If I went to more games I'd ring in but i don't and am normally doing summat else on satdi's.

Harty may be losing it a touch but if the people that moaned about him did contribute to the phone in everyone would be better off.

Does he not do it for FREE anyway?

 

[El Presidente]

Does he not do it for FREE anyway?

Are we talking sexual favours under the Palace Pier on Thursday nights?

If so my understanding is that it is only free to STH's, upon production of a Millwall JPT stub.
