Don't always listen to the Oval Ball, but I thought the "interview" with Craig Hall was appalling. The gist of it was that it was a replay of the Danny Tickle one, where Matt Dean (I think) basically grilled Hall for 5 minutes, asking him the same question, ie are you staying at FC, in a pretty uncalled for way. Hall said at the start that FC haven't started talks with him yet, but Dean proceeded to ask him why he thought that was, whether he wanted to stay at FC (more than once), whether he thought his form warranted selection, what he planned to do about it, whether he thought talks would start, whether he was going to Rovers (even though Hall said he'd not spoken to anyone yet), and best of all then asked him whether he was sick of people asking him about it and what he thought of the HDM article.

As said already, this was exactly like their harrassing of Danny Tickle, after which they smugly concluded he was as good as gone.

Does anyone know whether they've interviewed Chev Walker, Liam Colbon, Chas I'Anson, David Mills or Scott Wheeldon with the same one question subject matter, as they are all in the same position as Tickle and Hall? Thanks.

Are they rumoured to be signing for FC? get over it.

You're missing the point. They did the same to Tickle. Can you confirm that they have interviewed any, some or all of the OOC Rovers players in the same way?

They have interviewed Cooke and Morgan in the same way in the past, so get over the bias, just cos SpinFM wouldnt dare ask questions people want to hear

I heard the interview and to be honest it was bordering on harassment. I wouldn't have been so patient with him. It was almost akin to Hall being quizzed by the prosecution.

Don't agree - they've done the same to Agar before as well. Point is that in the last 2 months they've grilled OOC FC players on contracts. If they've done the same to OOC KR players, then fair enough, just want to know which ones? I'm not a fan of the sycophantic approach of KCFM either.

I do agree, he did answer the same question about 4 times. He's a good liar though is Hall

lol

I heard it....typical interview from a Rovers biased pathetic radio station!!

Fortunately it's not easy to get Humberside in Sheffield.

I thought the station was Radio Roverside anyway

Who gives a toss.

In a nutshell. If they dont want to answer they wont. Just Mrs B feeling maternal with her cub. A cub mind that weeks ago was in threat of being thrown out the pack.

Still haven't said when a Rovers player was interviewed in the same manner...

I'll repeat for the hard of hearing if a Rovers player was hotly rumoured to be signing for FC he would have had the same questions.

You reckon?

I do remember a rovers fan calling in fairly recently and giving Gwillum a royal roasting over his interview technique being more Ross style fawning than Paxmanesqe grilling when it came to Morgan & rovers.

Nothing to do with protecting Hall, I'm hardly his biggest cheerleader. Both teams have players OOC. Why pick out Tickle and Hall for the third degree treatment? How many of Rovers OOC players have received the same grilling? Chev Walker's out for the season, why not ask him where he is with his negotiations for Rovers, if they've not started, why not? Does he think he's been treated fairly after such a terrible injury? etc. Maybe they have done and I've missed it.

Which has what to do with Danny Tickle getting the same treatment?

You know for definate it would be different? Like Hutchie said get over it, it isnt even important.

There is a thing called a "off" button...its a marvelous invention...you press it and off goes the sound.

You really are paranoid arent you.,having a go about someone doing thier job.

In the great scheme of things, maybe not. But has Chev Walker been grilled on his contract position? Simple yes or no answer will do.

How the feck should I know? jesus are they so precious they cant do an interview now without being bullied in your opinion.

Oh ffs....go and look at companys house or something.......who gives a flying FOOK about it......your not keen on Hall so why you bothering.

Quite ironic given your avatar.

Is Tickle getting over a career threatening injury? stop now before you lose anymore credibility.

I'm not paranoid. Both teams have OOC players. So why not interview players from both teams who are in the same position?
