Right can someone tell me how he has a job as a football commentator/ radio presenter please? He’s rude, obnoxious, speaks over people when they are talking and also gets players names mixed up on a regular basis. Anyone think the same?

What he knows about football you could fit on a postage stamp....

I've seen some comments on here about Radio Joke being happy that we were losing- what was said actually?

I’m no fan of Lee Blakeman, but I listened to the whole match and didn’t notice anything untoward or biased against Stoke at all. I was listening when George Andrews commentated on our match v Portsmouth 20 years or so ago, so I know what someome pissed off with us winning sounds like. Anyway, it was worth listening last night for Denis’ pronunciation of Martin Zinzi.
Edit : I switched it off at the final whistle, so didn’t listen to the phone in afterwards (if they did one).

I hate listening to Denis Smith...
I rarely listen to radio stoke these days, however when I have, the chap mentioned is shocking!
He is too opinionated and not impartial! Shut up, and let the fans have their say, extremely judgemental and if he doesn’t agree with you he makes it quite clear which isn’t really his role!
Radio and football club at the moment are just shite!

All useless when compare to other commentaries, and I'm sorry Stoke so called legend or not Nigel ' red and white stockings ' Johnson needs fucking off pronto. His pre match ramblings about cutting it against the blades etc were cringeworthy. Mind you his Everton with Bado will never be beaten, huge game, lots of talking points. ' what was it like playing in the snow? ' Fuck me drunk

I can take him or leave him but I do find him incredibly dismissive and rude to fans he doesn't agree with on a phone in where fans can express their opinions. Sometimes it's warranted with some of the absolute whoppers that call in with nothing to back up their arguments but when fans express legitimate concerns or opinions he can be a right rude prick.
Is there anywhere to listen to it again?

They're all wank on there - from top to bottom.
I was at the game so I didn't listen, so I don't know if they sounded happy we were losing or whatever - but it's not hard to see why is it?
They just want people to phone in and kick off for entertainment value.

Absolutely no one on that station can hold a candle to John Acres. He was fucked off because he wouldn't toe the party line. Great local broadcaster

If he is not a Port Vale fan then perhaps you could explain why on the final day of the League One season in 2017 as Port Vale drew away against Fleetwood and were relegated to League Two, Lee Blakeman who was on commentary started crying. I'm not talking a slight quiver in the voice, I'm talking full on blubbing "Port Vale are relegated...." He couldn't keep it together, he cried. Then the summariser had to step in as Blakeman carried on blarting and when he came back on air he still could hardly keep it together. Check the thread from that day that must be somewhere in the depths of this messageboard for many a chuckle at that. If you're a local football commentator who covers 2 clubs (i don't think he ever does Crewe games) and you don't have a foot in either camp. You would NOT break down emotionally like that on a relegation from League 1 to League 2. That's what Vale do, they basically live in those 2 divisions so it's really not that big a deal even to their fans Hypothetically, you're from Birmingham, you're a broadcaster and you commentate on Yam Yam FM covering both Aston Villa & Birmingham. You support neither club. Birmingham get relegated from Championship to League One and you're on the air covering it. Are you crying even though you're not a Birmingham City fan? Are you heck as like! I get that you may be slightly emotionally invested as say John Acres was after covering Stoke so much for many years as a neutral but you would not break down like Blakeman did. Nigel Johnson didn't cry on commentary when we went down last season yet he's Stoke through and through. Anyway, Blakeman's unprofessional and totally abysmal at his job ("The goalkeeper has taken a quadrillion years to take this kick") and comes across as a complete tool who needs a smack followed by the sack. I think nepotism got him to where he is, he'll get no further. So whether he's a Vale fan or not really makes no difference to his ineptitude. All I’m saying he’s not a Vale fan mate 😂

Post by coxeymcqueen on Oct 24, 2018 20:58:42 GMT
Whenever any Stoke fans rang P&G to criticise Hughes, Blakeman would just say “Three ninth place finishes, three ninth place finishes” and “Who are you going to get? Who are you going to get?”
Normally on the BBC to get balance they would get different opinions from different supporters; his approach is to just talk over the callers saying something to antagonise them. Can’t listen when it’s him doing the punditry or P&G.
