If Darren Moore continues to set us like, we are doomed, unfortunately Mr Vanilla, hasn't got the balls to ask DM, about the game etc.
Let's all be like Oggy, happy clappers, cos before long we'll be playing footie in Division 1 - UTT.

I thought it was a pretty good summary It's emotional times.. Agree, it was and is, but this guy usually just says he’s “happy to wait and see”. We all have limits and maybe we are are witnessing the manifestation of the man's 'wall' Calm as anything for years and then 'snap' If anyone lives near him can they check the local news for 'falling down' type loose cannon with a town shirt on the rampage! |

Feck me, there’s “supporters” here who will even blame the match commentator for our plight!

Draylton is really pissed off cos his (our) favourite curry house in Guiseley has recently closed after many years. Truly devastating news. |

I haven't listened to Paul Ogden since the Town content shifted to DAB.
Never been able to receive it driving home from the game, or at home.
Not missed it for one second.
In latter years all that he ever seemed to do was suck up to management and never ask the kind of probing questions that he should.
Stealing a wage.

Strangely enough, in the car on Sat and it had 2 RL channels showing on DAB, turned out it was both the Bradford game and the Town game that I could get. |

He captures the good times brilliantly. The commentary for Mooys goal at Leeds is the 2nd best commentary there is (behind “and he takes that chance..!”
However, agree for the tougher times. I’d like to see him push the managers further for answers, some of the stuff him and Glennon say makes me just wonder if there’s an agenda come from the club for them.

I have fond memories of hearing the voices of Oggy and Kieran O'Regan down the airwaves when I was a kid, listening to Radio Leeds long before we had such a thing as internet streaming.
Oggy is what he is, he's a commentator, he tells us what's happening and can hardly be rocking the boat every week otherwise he wouldn't have a job.
However, in the past, he's asked pressing questions of numerous managers, and I remember the likes of Stan Ternent and Lee Clark being prickly with him. He was also challenging the likes of Jan Siewert and Carlos Corberan and even asked Neil Warnock after the Rotherham game if it was indeed true that he was leaving.
I think in bad times. fans (of any club) pick fault with everything and it seems like it's Oggy's turn this week.

It's a fair criticism I think, he often fails to ask the very obvious questions, he has to maintain a relationship though and be fair to the person he's interviewing, must be difficult. Similar to the Examiner in that they only stick the boot in once they know the end is nigh  |

It completely baffles me why people want Oggy, Glennon, Chicken, Booth, Longfellow et al to be John bloody Pilger. They are reporting on sport and a private limited company. The only time I want them to be kicking doors down is if they find evidence of corruption or wrong doing, not blowing their lid over Edwards being picked at right back. That’s our job.

It’s one thing to load the bullets and quite a different thing to fire the gun. It is indeed a great comparison to make - imagining yourself in your work environment. We all know there is a line that you can’t cross. |

I'd like it much more if someone who can't say "centre" didn't refer to the "senna circle" so many times during a commentary...he must average close to once a minute across a game!

If what you're saying was true, it baffles me why the media bother staying behind to interview club staff, or, indeed, go to the pressers. The club have their own post match interviewer, who is obviously non critical. Surely the job of the media is to try and get a different answer to the sanitised comments made on Pravda. I rarely listen to the pre match time filler, so, this may have been mentioned, but all media should make it clear whether or not they have free reign to ask questions, and, if not, explain what limitations have been placed upon them, and why. Folk can witter on all they like amongst themselves on podcasts and forums, but the onus is on the media to obtain answers, however hard the questions, on behalf of fans. Ogden et al are not doing it. If push comes to shove, they should show unity and withdraw their labour. The club would soon realise that they need to keep everyone onside to some extent. |

Never understood the criticism towards Oggy, having listened to commentary from other local stations/ifollow when Town are away, they are horrendously boring compared to the RL coverage.
Yeah he might fail to ask the hard questions but it's not difficult to understand why.

So what would be the point in getting people to listen? Baffles me why you wouldn't want/expect them to ask pressing questions. The club have their own media that can read scripted non pressing questions. |

Calling everyone "Gaffer" and doing a nervous  after every question. |

Remember KOR… you could put any amount of money on the 89th minute him saying… “all eyes on the fourth official now, Oggy..” could be 5-0 down at the time 😂 |

Just watched his YouTube prostration at the feet of DM. Stats available to him beforehand, showed that we had two shots, yet he did not gainsay DM’s comment that we got the ball into good areas. Legitimate question would be to ask how this was so, when stats showed otherwise. Throughout the afternoon, RL ask for comments, which are mainly, if not wholly, critical. An easy question would be to say ‘fans are concerned about…’ An even easier question would be to ask why he doesn’t  to and thank fans at the end of games. His editor is as spineless as Ogden, in allowing him to avoid so many direct questions. Hannah is just as bad at the pressers. Easy enough to look at the overall view of fans on here and raise those issues with him. Other than provide (by comparison, it has to be said), fairly good commentary, what service do the reporters of and station Radio Leeds provide to Town fans? Are you OK? You’re actually showing a bit of emotion. My comments of November still stand. Prior to the post match interview (and presumably during the second half, which Ogden, and the producer would have had access to), the view of the fans was highly critical of the manager. You would not have guessed this from the spineless interview conducted by Ogden. An easy question would be to ask when we might see Tom Iorpenda come onto the pitch, having been an unused sub for, however many, games., then say something along the lines of ‘our listeners have said…’. RL are taking fans for mugs, in asking for opinions, yet never passing them on to the manager. The pressers have three attendees, from media, who are just after a quote to headline their pre match build up. There should be a fans’ representative who can ask proper questions. RL coverage pre and post match is completely useless as regards interacting between fans and the club. It’s probably the same for all teams followed by local media, who don’t want to upset their cosy relationship with their local club, but if they are not going to question decisions made, what purpose do they serve? They may as well just re hash the official club blurb about pre and post match interviews. |

I’m indifferent as regards the result. I will still have a grand evening, but RL put themselves across as The Fans’ contact with the club (otherwise, why would they ask for opinions!), yet , there are far more graphic descriptions I could give, involving their analogical anal orifice and HTAFC’s analogical member, which contradict this . They should address this situation on behalf of their HTAFC listeners who actually do contact them to express their opinions about what is happening at the club. However, I am content to disagree with your view of ,y view😉 |

Completely agree
Paul Ogden doesn’t dare ask the questions the fans want to hear. Ok sick of him sugar coating everything and making every single team we play a giant
Nathan Clarke would mad co commentator today and he didn’t dare say a bad word about Moore. Like he’s been told by the club to be positive

after every question.
to and thank fans at the end of games.
