Each year I take a break from listening to the football forum over the close season. On Monday, I tuned in again looking forward to a preview of the new season and within seconds Ian had me reaching for the off button because of his insistence on playing the champions league theme.
My understanding is that a year or two back, listeners overwhelmingly voted against hearing it every week. But every week, without fail, he still references not being allowed to play it. And then on Monday he plays it regardless.
Why does he insist on persisting with it? He’s like uncle nob head at family events, always rolling out the same gags.
You can almost feel Matt Piper and guests etc rolling their eyes.
The fact that we’ve missed out on the champions league in the way we have makes this joke even less funny for me.
Calling Owynn his full name each and every time is another one which has worn thin in my opinion.
Come on Ian, you’re a great commentator and nobody can fault your passion for Leicester. I just wish you’d focus on what you do best and stop trying to be a comedian.
