Bradwell canary 109 Posted February 9, 2015 After the Laurel & Hardy show on Saturday does anyone out there enjoy listing to one Rob Butler. So fond of the sound of his own voice. His constant ramblings as Bassong made his way to his car was the all time low point. Does he have a producer , if so he should teach him when to speak, and when to listen. Always seems ready to pick a fight with those who have a different opinion to his.....which means almost everyone.Just prove how brilliant Neil Adams was in that role.

Matt Juler 148 Posted February 9, 2015 The Bassong dialogue took us all the way from County Hall, including sitting in the queue to get out, to past what I still call "Gunny''s House" on the A146 (near Highway Garden Centre). I do wonder if they either had no callers, or some technical issue with the lines as even though I know Rob likes his own voice this took it to a new extreme.

Mr Jenkins 0 Posted February 9, 2015 Butler is as bad as some of the callers, he encourages the idiots that call in, makes the show even worse than it used to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For people with a variety of opinions, some wild, some wacky ,to come on air and put them forward. Would it not be very dull if everyone said the same thing ? Certainly would be if they were ALL of the same mindset as you, Buh. Yes, there are some negative callers on CC. But there are also some very positive ones too.I''d agree that Butler himself brings little or nothing to the party, and would hope that RN would be looking for a new presenter to freshen things up in the near future.

Matt Juler 148 Posted February 9, 2015 Was listening to the local BBC radio after the Bournemouth away game. They had a few people call in, was just the same as Canary Call with those "watching" on the wireless going on about how Bournemouth will end up out of the playoff, could be relegated etc. after one defeat to 10 men.

Buh 0 Posted February 9, 2015 Ummm I''d say I''m pretty bang on in my assessment of Canary call.Does butler bait the audience for reaction? Yes, and the more simple minded ones bite.But how can he compete with a show that once had someone call in to complain about a individual players performance (Andrew crofts) who it was revealed didn''t even play the game in question and the caller had fallen asleep in his shed during the commentary and STILL felt the need to ring in!

The Phantom 0 Posted February 9, 2015 I have phoned up a couple of times this season after unnecessary defeats I am regularly applauded afterwards for my contribution by those who know me.I find the level of debate and contribution as well as entertainment growing as the season is progressing. Just because someone has a differing opinion to you doesn''s make them an idiot. Baaaa Baaa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buh 0 Posted February 9, 2015 There seems to be lots of anger about specifically about this weeks episode. Was it especially bad? I didn''t hear it but someone said some old boy started talking about digging up a road? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoola Han Solo 448 Posted February 9, 2015 Canary Call with Morty would just be him arguing with every caller for an hour.And then LDC would call in for the ultimate Canary Call face-off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,615 Posted February 9, 2015 I quite like Butler.And to answer your question Buh, callers were kicking off at Butler and Forbes for being happy and optimistic after a 4-0 win. Apparently, according to lots of fans, you''re not allowed to, because it''s only the next game that counts, or something like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buh 0 Posted February 9, 2015 It''s like watchin David Brent do the dance in the officeHilarious but horrendous all at once.But as was said, every local radio station has a carrot call equivalent which is almost a heartening thought to know we aren''t alone.It''s hard, it''s ridiculous but endless calls about Cody McDonald and "whaaaas gorn orn in TRAYNUN neyull!" Have entered NCFC folklore so it does serve a purpose I suppose, just not the purpose it is supposed to serve... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoola Han Solo 448 Posted February 9, 2015 There''s nothing wrong with it.Some of the people are stupid. Some of them moan. However, some of it is occasionally interesting and some callers are good, and frankly Saturday''s was hilarious.Some people need to remove their heads from their a rse and just treat it as comic relief.

Jeremy gossip 0 Posted February 9, 2015 I will be completely honest, I have, in person and over Twitter, had several "debates" with rob but he is a good guy really. Some of the Canary calls are very strung out and struggle to be entertaining. I think this is down to it being a bbc product, rules have to be followed. If you met with rob down the pub, discussed the same subjects Iover a pint, it would be a lot more entertaining.What is a pile of piss though is the scrimmage! The God awful puns that the so called "expert" Chris goreham roles off his script is embarrassing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iron_stan 0 Posted February 9, 2015 im sorry but this weeks was probably one of the all time golden episodes, had me in fits of laughterbutler does a good job, however they could probably do with freshening it up a bit and binning the likes of forbes who are far too involved in the club to give anything that resembles an impartial opinion. but there does seem to be a high number of callers that get on which tend to suggest most of norfolk are seriously lacking in academic capacity, maybe a slightly higher level of vetting before theyre allowed on would be a wiser idea.

The best thing someone can do is to do their own podcast version which allows people to share their non-censored opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
