Robbie09 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) It’s the consequences of generations of inbreeding along with decades of glue sniffing. Psychotic thoughts that one day SHA may actually play top level football again. Edited July 14, 2023 by Robbie09 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I have a feeling this year is going to be a hillarious year of viewing for us and those lot. There is just comedy driven by their misery waiting to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they’ve sold two young players, resigned a couple of released donkies, bought two players I’ve seriously never heard of and a reserve team nobody from Bournemouth. If that makes you get goosebumps and grizzle like a girlie then this season is going to be comedy gold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wurzel Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Sad to hear that Tony Butler has passed away. Another piece of my youth has gone, not many left now. RIP Tony. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lochheads twin Posted July 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) Really sad to hear about the passing of Tony Butler. Not sure if it because it was it was the first show of its type, some of the characters in the show (Acker etc) or it just coincided with a golden age for the Villa. “ Get your prayer mats out” a true legend of broadcasting. RIP Tony. Edited July 15, 2023 by Lochheads twin Typo 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi GV, he was more 70’s&80’s. He worked for both BRMB & BBC local radio over many years. He had sports shows on a Friday evening or covered all the local teams on a Saturday afternoon well before the arrival of Sky. you can find lots of tributes to him by many other broadcasters on Twitter. His audience had a range of views as wide at Villatalk () but his opinion was always the right one! The European nights involving the Villa were special, given the lack of any other coverage! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Tony. Acker sat behind me in the upper "Scottish Stand". Nice bloke and his conversations with Tone were legendry. Such sad news. Tony Butler's Sports Forum on Friday night, was a must listen and featured terrific banter between West Midlands football fans. We were reliant on those BRMB commentaries that he hosted, for those match nights that we couldn't get to in Iceland, East Germany, Russia and Japan for example, with Tone telling us to "get our prayer mats out" before/during such games. His theme tune was Hurricane Smith's "Theme From An Unmade Silent Movie" which the Villa team also ran out to back then. Tone was on the Town Hall Balcony in 1981 doing his show when the players returned with the Championship trophy. I even won a bottle of champagne from him one year, by predicting where we would finish at the end of that season. He will be remembered for his dulcet tones and for catch phrases such as "on yer bike", "it's the name of the game". 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 You must all be looking forward to the return of Daz the Spaz tonight (assuming he hasn’t been axed like everyone else) so they can all jerk off over small heath’s smooth passage to champions league football. Also put the station on in the car to see what it’s like post-Franksie. Oh dear oh dear, you’d think they could find someone who can pronounce the word “Birmingham “ correctly. Its a write off, BBC, close it down! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 It's absolutely terrible. Franksy going is the end of the end isn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villanbee Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 I stopped listening ages ago. Both to the station in general and the phone-in specifically. Rego leaving was the beginning of the end. Then Franksy stopped doing the football phone in and it was never the same again. The station used to be so good, but I wonder what their listening figures are like now. There's probably a wider debate to be had about the need for local radio in the modern era of YouTube and social media. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general, I agree but there must be a place, always for a local football phone in just with better presenters. Get Tom Ross out of retirement. Don’t think Gavin is doing much either these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also first caller tonight, a knuckledragger from the Shires? U wot mate? Can’t have that mate, too far from town to drink mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mykeyb Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Lovely entertainment last night, the noses are all wetting themselves in excitement, Wolves fans wetting themselves out of fear. Meanwhile Eddie thinks they have the 3rd best team in the division. Oh and Polly is still a mad old bat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
