al_bro Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I thought I'd start a new topic because there will be a few of these. I've just listened to the 1st. instalment and it was a good listen. I don't like to criticise, but why wasn't it longer? Roy butted in a few times when Andy was saying something interesting, he was keen to get on, because it seemed there was a time restraint. There could also have been more fans questions at the end. However, as a first attempt it wasn't bad and they were both giving their time up for us.

Latics_Fanatic Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Completely agree. It easily could have been double, if not triple the length and felt like everything was brushed over. Be good if another Pod, like UndrTheCosh (or maybe even the guys at the Chron) could get Stitch on for a longer pod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolatic Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I enjoyed it. I suppose it's more difficult to have that kind of interview than it is face to face. I take part in a Zoom get together every Thursday with friends from Men in Sheds and it can be quite difficult avoiding all speaking at once. However, I thought it was a good start and it can only get better, I'm sure. I don't understand why Natalie had to get involved, though. What does she know about Stitch's time at BP?

al_bro Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 Another good watch. We would hear many more good stories if it was longer. Why it is limited to 45 minutes I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Sinnott Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Whatever happened to the Les Chapman one that they were supposed to have on last week? This have the potential to be really good, but they're spoilt every single week by the interviewer (long time employee, I know) talking over the guest...

I have enjoyed them but they could have been so much better! Roy loves a tale and regardless of the interview angle tells his stories even if their not related haha. Not knocking him at all and what a servant he has been for the club but we need to evolve as a club and this is one. Some young blood to take over the mantle.

As much as I respect Roy I wish he would stop trying to show how pally he is with the players and just let them speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_bro Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 The Lemmy's most likely had it removed, thinking it would take attention away from their big story of a new head coach and their 3 signings. They don't understand that few fans are interested in a new coach with a poor record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half an hour talking to Les Chapman is hardly world shattering so it's stretching belief a bit to think it's been hooked as a peevish act. It may be that the backroom IT staff prioritised the breaking news over the canned bit. No doubt we'll get to see it at a later date, hopefully without Roy talking over the answers or plugging his book at every opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to priorities anything, it was already their waiting to be put on the web site and would only take a minute. I'm not saying it was peevish, just giving more emphasis to their news.

Lee Sinnott Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Same issue with the Ian Wood interview - just let the man speak FFS! 525 League appearances by the way - what an achievement. As with most of our records, I can't see that ever being broken... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobledgersheart Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 "I'm listening to another episode of Roy's life story and thinking what a good series this could have been if anybody else had been conducting these. He constantly talks over the ex-players, interrupting them with a rivetting repeat of the story of how the Irish lads used to babysit for him just as they are about to reveal something of real interest. Some prime examples today:- Woody - "Jack Rowley was a nightmare of a manager..............." Roy - "Yes but he got us promoted". Roy - "Did you go on the pre-season trip to Rhodesia?" Woody - "Yes................." Roy - "Yes I know I've got a photograph of you with the team here!" If anyone had done this series and approached this without a script, prompted the interviewee with a question, listened to the answer and just see where the conversation goes it would have been so much better, especially for someone with my age and memories. I realise he's given Trojan service over the years and apologies to anyone who thinks I'm a bit harsh but everyone should know when their time's up and gracefully retreat, having done their bit, and for me now's Roy's time.
