Midlandsfox Posted 1 January 2008 Posted 1 January 2008 I was unable to make the game today at Loftus Road and relieved after the lads had let us down again today. So I tuned into radio Leicester and not for the 1st time this season as I tend to listen to commentary when I am at the Walkers. And I have to say Jon Barber seems very sadistical with his commentary and is almost laughing his head off and extremely excited when the oppostion score, I think his lack of knowledge of our club and ignorance to tactics and his arrogance get a lot of peoples backs up. Am I the only one who is in the mind set that radio leicester should remove Barber from all Leicester city games, he is not exciting and not passionate about Leicester
Fox You Forest Posted 1 January 2008 Posted 1 January 2008 He is a prize tit. Thats a very kind way of putting it
Matt Posted 1 January 2008 Posted 1 January 2008 Who's the Derby fan? Is it him? Sure i've read someone who works for Radio Leicester and does the sport is a Derby fan.
Midlandsfox Posted 1 January 2008 Author Posted 1 January 2008 Can we the people not get him off the airwaves and get Neville Foulger back
Sparky Posted 1 January 2008 Posted 1 January 2008 im shocked to see how he still holds this position , he knows feck all about what he is trying to comment on and his facts are shocking today he said " we will be having a minutes silence for Ray Jones " infact it was a minutes applause for Phil O Donnell how long will he be aloud to get away with it , i shared a studio with him few years ago after a 2-1 defeat at home to QPR and in person he seems a decent chap but he just aint up to it . Id love to do his job and extremley confident id make a better job of it than that !
Midlandsfox Posted 1 January 2008 Author Posted 1 January 2008 He is just one on his own Mr Barber, he ass licks the Birch and walshy and thinks he is something he isnt. Mate of mine who works at the club reckoned mad dog couldnt stand him, and that his arrogance and aura really pissed people off. Barber shows how disrepectful he is with comments like a mins silence for Ray Jones when infact it was Phil O'Donnell. I also got annoyed with the way his voice sounds disapointed when we do something or the tone of excitement for an away goal. I did think he was disrespectful to the 2,500 people who went down to london He has no clue to any knowledge on the team and needed to refer to Matt Piper who to be honest sounded like he had been on the drugs for assistance and Piper wasnt that helpful

Corky Posted 1 January 2008 Posted 1 January 2008 I don't listen to him that much, never listen at the ground, and can't get away matches on the radio, but I sometimes listen to RL after the game, and I can't stand the bloke. I remember listening to Mad Dog's interview after the Watford match, and Barber was asking such stupid questions, and again on Saturday, don't think Ollie thinks too much of him either. People are getting annoyed with him, this is the third thread about him I've seen (there's one on 606 as well). Bring back Neville Foulger as others say.
DB11 Posted 1 January 2008 Posted 1 January 2008 I prefer him to Matt Piper. I hate listening to Matt Piper - his accent is so annoying... Also, he is too bias for Leicester. If a City player punched someone in the face he would say it wasn't intentional
Midlandsfox Posted 1 January 2008 Author Posted 1 January 2008 Barber is spread all over the net and some guy on the lcfc message boards is urging people to complain to the BBC I have backed this guy up and sent mine but we must face facts we are stuck with this **** now for eternity and he has some friends in high places like his mate the birch they make me sick listening to them praise one another "oh yes barberella" We should start campaign bring back neville foulger!!! I hear his voice in press conferences was he pushed from radio or left of own accord???

Midlandsfox Posted 1 January 2008 Author Posted 1 January 2008 Nothing gets done DB, what could we do to get rid of him, its funny when you think power of the fans can get managers sacked but not radio commentators
syston_fox Posted 1 January 2008 Posted 1 January 2008 #We should start campaign bring back neville foulger!!! I hear his voice in press conferences was he pushed from radio or left of own accord??? I was told that he was sacked by radio leics and was never given a full reason why.... this was from a guy I used to work with though so not certain how accurate it is
Midlandsfox Posted 1 January 2008 Author Posted 1 January 2008 Neville was a legend in his own rights time Barber got the sack and get the listeners back
Kilworthfox Posted 1 January 2008 Posted 1 January 2008 Nev's contract never got renewed when he became 65. Barber is a Derby fan + a Twat
Thracian Posted 1 January 2008 Posted 1 January 2008 Nev's contract never got renewed when he became 65.Barber is a Derby fan + a Twat How sodding ageist is that?
MENACE67 Posted 1 January 2008 Posted 1 January 2008 Ayyyyyye he's a derby fan.... altho the fella who does radio derbys commentry is a forest fan.....!! Dont Figure....!!
Daggers Posted 1 January 2008 Posted 1 January 2008 How sodding ageist is that? Ageist? Not employing people gone retirement age? You are going to have to help me on this one because it's flying over me.
nickm Posted 1 January 2008 Posted 1 January 2008 he just says it as he sees it-City don't have a single player now who would have got in o'neills side--even the youngsters are average-rooney, norman whiteside, ryan giggs--they could do it young-why do we think our youngsters need mollycoddling and bringing along slowly-if they're good enough they'll perform--stop going to the games like i have, when they're getting 7 and 8 thousand for a home match they'll take it seriously and start changing things from the bottom rung!
Bert Posted 1 January 2008 Posted 1 January 2008 I thought Nev said he was retiring? Before the game Barber said there was 3 changes. Which there was, but he initially said, that Kenton was starting and not Chambers. Cock.
