I like it, listen to it all the time. They had some Hull KR players on before the quarter final. Also Adrian Durham is a Hull FC fan so he sometimes mentions Rugby League.

Rugby League should be on there as an option but it is not worth losing sleep over it

Aidrian Durham is a Hull fan and wont have a bad word said about rugby league.....right wing rubbish, how do you know so much about talk sport.

It's cack and not worth worrying about. I had the misfortune to listen to it once.. "Nah an lahne wahne it's dahve, who is a taxi driver from dagehahhm. Dahve, da yah laave faahtball?" "Ya I lahhve faatbaaal meh". Good thanks dahve, nahw on lahne twoo its wayne, Wayne da yah laave faatball as much as Dahve?" "I laave Fatball narly as mach as I lahve the Queen mathar, gawd bless her"
Utter crap. We should concentrate our venom on 5 live (real station), who as showing slow signs of improvement but still have a lot of work to do.
"Sports results: Rugby; Leicester 46 - 20 Bath. Rugby LEAGUE Leeds 36 - 4 Hull" (fictitious).
Don't get me started on the national print media.

Lock it, Talksport = Filth

I also listen to talksport it may as well be called talkfootball, all other sports are hardly covered at all.

TalkSoccer is absolutely dire. I mean, anyone that employs Ian Wright, Stan Collymore, Andy Townsend, Alan Brazil and Jason Cundy in the same company must be crap, and TalkSoccer are.

Townsend aint too bad. I agree that the rest are of a certain nether region

Brazil is so bad he is good (if you get what i mean)

Used to listen to Brazil and Parry on the way into work and H&J on the way home

Now can't be ar$ed with Brazil and Irani - anything for nothing and talentless cretins

The only thing worth listening to is Hawksbee & Jacobs - although Jacobs is a sad and bitter Chelsea fan who cannot see anything past cricket an Chelsea

Jack Bannister is a decent sort who tells it straight and had a good go at a few presenters the other week - ending up hanging up midway through his cricket report !!

I also heard this quality radio, Bannister really knows his cricket

You know that Jack is never at the cricket and does all his reports from home.

think jack bannister is a bit of a spoilt brat at times..if you dare disagree with him he goes on one like he did with mike parry...rather listen to blowers million times better

Talksport is nothing but a radio version of a tabloid newspaper. Nothing but football with the tiniest mention of other sports, and thats if they even bother.

They had Noel Gallagher and Russell Brand presenting a show a few months back that had very little to do with sport itself, in the same way a tabloid has very little to do with any actual news.

Same with Sky Sports (Football) news. it;s all crap

Whoa Whoa, behave yourself. Its one thing slagging off Talksport but Football Today??

SSNews is awesome.

Transfer deadline day, deals going through ding dong, Peter Thorne Norwich to Bradford - Undisclosed. Hayden Foxe Portsmouth - Leeds - Loan. Andy Mutch - Swindon - Hartlepool - Free.

Oh Hello, Willem Korsten Leeds - Tottenham £3.5m sneaking across the bottom there.

Amazing, compulsive viewing.

but thats all it is, football with minimal coverage of anything else. false advertising imo. And then with the football its just the same stories repeated ad infitum, is crap

Alex Hammonds tip of the day for the horse enthusiasts.

Stevo's guff, Offiahs guff for us chaps.

Lots of cricket talk.

I think it's weighted towards football, as the countries most popular sport, but the channel does a good job, with the ticker etc of reporting most sporting stories of relevance.

Nah, we used to have it constantly at work on 12 hour shifts. in my experience there was brief mentions of other sports, maybe theyll have a 15 minute slot once a week or something. Whilst they will repeat the same 5 or 6 stories every hour throughout the day and night. the most boring thing ever and used to drive me crazy at work

SSN is possibly one of the best things to come from the Murdoch 24/7 media revolution.

I'd go with that, be lost without it. It's just 'TV Heaven' for any sports nut, which I am.

I always listen to talksport these days as I can't find a decent music station to listen to. I've never heard Adrian Durham mention RL, never mind Hull FC. The only one I have heard is Ronnie Irani who is a leyther and seems to lean towards Wigan.

I find it a bit annoying that they have a spot where they talk to a Canuk about US sport-football, baseball and basketball mainly, but they can't have a spot on a game played less then 200 miles from their studios.

How do i complain to them?

There are things that can be done about this situation, though.
For some, they are getting into University and doing a Sports Journalism degree, with the intention of using that degree to infiltrate the national media somewhat and dedicate your professional life to modern, articulate and innovative coverage of RL (In a manner that doesn't just consist of a list of try scorers and half an utterance from a press conference).

For others, it may be a heartfelt email or boycott of certain media outlets, often with gentle persuasion to others in their circle of peers to do similar.

While ignorance of RL by the mass media doesn't cause death or anything, it does hurt us and is a bit insulting; do we not care as much what happens between Hull FC and Castleford as Football followers care what happens between Portsmouth and, say, Middlesborough? Of course we do; so why are we not granted the extensive coverage other sports are? I'd much rather read/see/hear about a high scoring, tense, rugby league grudge match than a 0-0 draw in the depths of winter somewhere on the south east coast. I'm sure most neutrals are the same.

If we all were to take some form of stand, perhaps, maybe, sometime down the line, we'd get somewhere. Only babysteps at first, granted, but anyone who has read To Kill A Mockingbird and followed the history of Blacks in America will understand that babysteps do sometimes lead to change.

Yes We Can!

He's gone more Victor Meldrew-ish since he's been there.

When he was doing test match cricket on the BBC, he was a lot more laid back. You have to be with Richie Benaud sitting next to you!!!

It's a question of whether people could be ar**d, but we could swamp their message board with questions about the poor coverage of RL on TS.
