Now that footy season is back upon us, can SEN give the Four Diegos the flick from the 11 pm to midnight slot every weekday, bar friday ???

I don't mind if they use another couple of presenters to talk about association football/soccer, but I've had a gutful of those berks ...

Having soccer on 4 nights a week has always been ridiculous, I don't care what time of the year it is. Surely they can do Monday 11-12, talk about the weekend's games, then Thursday 11-12 and cover any midweek or Euro games, and touch on the upcoming weekends games. There is no need for soccer to take up 4 rather important weeknight timeslots.

Couldn’t agree more. And it annoys me how all the presenters are all of a sudden soccer lovers and experts. I bet they were told by management to show more interest and stop knocking it. Leech (who is passionate) and Oxx (bandwagon supporter) are the worst how they carry on in the Run Home. I remember last year a caller to Sports today on AW had a go at then re lack of soccer, and the response was simple. The station spends a fortune on all sorts of market research, and in the case of soccer, the % was way too small to warrant excess discussions, everyone only wanted to talk about was Footy. Soccer goes in cycles, way up in a World Cup period, then a rapid downward spiral towards the eve of the next one, and that’s where we are now. Look at the lack of interest in the A League at the moment. Soccer fans will flame me, fair enough as they are passionate, but the overwhelming majority just don’t care.
 
After early evening it doesn't really matter what they do in programming. An hour of soccer each night at 23:00? Meh, let 'em have it.

More interesting to hear Harford copping it yesterday on the SMS from listeners (2 of them) complaining about Harftime not covering the A-League Grand Final between midday and 1pm. Coverage was scheduled for after 1pm, but that, seemingly, wasn't good enough.

Bazzar may cop "flame" from soccer fans but his post is spot on for mine.

Under a week until real football's back!

So a dedicated 4 out of 176 hours of soccer talk is too much? What would you prefer, another 4 hours hours of people ringing up and asking the age old question "So, how do yo reckon Collingwood/Carlton/Essendon/Hawks will go this year?"

Soccer gets plenty of coverage elsewhere as well.

There is the Victory hour on once a week, Muscat is on The Run Home once a week, Ernie Merrick was on MG today.

At least once a day, there would be at least 30-60 minutes of soccer either on MG, KB, Harford, TRH or Finey. Its probably more like 90 - 120 minutes in reality.

Would easily be the 2nd most covered sport on that station - even ahead of cricket.

Not Friday night, that should be reserved for post game AFL discussion. Tuesday and Wednesday night if they must. Also, the Run Home should have soccer talk only after 6pm, when a lot of listeners turn over for the 6-7pm footy talk on 3AW.

meh, soccer on the run home (especially victory related stuff) on after 6 suits me fine.

but i dont think 3aw and sen would get together to schedule footy talk all night long

Good Grief! Did you hear Sad J Peake acting like an emotional girl on even the slightest thing that ticked him off. I can not understand why it is that we have kids like Peake-those types that refuse to grow-up and continue to exhibit the same behaviour found in irrational, emotional children- as Radio Hosts on SEN.
 
BP does a great job, but I was surprised by his lack of knowledge with regards to March Madness going on in the States for his 2hr basketball show. Not a single mention of it in the first hour, some guy called up just before to talk about it and he didn't have a clue.

We miss you Steve and Ed.

The station needs to give its listeners a spell from dare I say it [prepared to be beaten to an inch of my life] from the Footy conversation. Just a reminder only now two sleeps to go,:rolleyes:
 
No. I am not going to beat you , Paul. I find that all of this Footy talk is very monotonous, mind numbing and tedious. I remeber as a kid growing up to what 2-3 mentions of AFL per week in the season. Now it is 6 times a day. SEN are killing their listening public with footy overload.
