I don’t have a problem with Nigel in fact I quite enjoy him.
But I had to smile yesterday when he said “ And that is SWANSEA’S second corner”. We were playing Huddersfield.

Wtf is it with you lot
She’s just a Stoke fan whose been invited on to the show to offer an opinion of which you may or may not agree with ....sometimes she’s bang on the money and sometimes she talks nonsense ( just like the rest of us )
Cut her some slack ffs and stop the hate when she’s done nothing wrong other than give HER opinion on SCFC

Bayern's right. He doesn't even know players names. Some people are like that. I believe that Bobby Robson often got the names of his players confused. Which is fine but when your job is to portray a game of football to people that can’t see it, it should be a basic skill.

I've never met Angela Smith; I didn't join in the thread that we shall not speak its name; I listen to Radio Stoke every time we're playing, and I don't have a problem with her connections to RS or the club. For the most part she speaks common sense in a Stokie supporter kind of way, and, because she's reasonably knowledgeable about the game, I like the way she conducts herself when she's interviewing Michael O'Neil. I also like how she's prepared to stand up for herself as in the way she replied to Jim, who was trying to attribute words to her that she hadn't said. I also think she's the type of lass who could keep Plympton Potter in check, and make sure he doesn't overcook the squirrel pie. (A bit like Monica in a similar school ma'am kind of way.) As for Jim, he's obviously bait to be used by RS to get those that bite going. I just giggled at the silly man. The clash with Angela was quite entertaining... much like Monty Python stuff as in 'The Batley Townswomens' Guild presents the Battle of Pearl Harbour'. I was still giggling at his "Bursik in the new Gordon Banks" at midnight when I was watching The West Wing series. Kevin Spacey was causing chaos and I was chuckling at Jim. If Jim has enough persence to warrant six pages on The Oatie, then he has to have something going for him. Carry on Jim. OS.

Does she. Not long ago she was convinced we were playing a back 3 not a back 4 until MON corrected her, its pretty simple stuff to understand. But as I said before I get why she's on there but she's not particually good at it. That's what I'm stumped about. I don't get why she is on there other than the fact she is the supposed "voice of the people" which we all know is bollocks. Thats the only reason I can see that she's on there tbh, if she wasn't the head of the supporters council she wouldn't have had a chance.

The same reasons I'd never be considered for job on radio as it goes

Some people on here are totally obsessed with bashing Ange. After the last thread being deleted I thought this rubbish would be done with.
If you don't like it then turn the radio down or off.

Put yourself in the public eye/ear ( ) and people are going to have an opinion which is fair enough, the same as anyone else. The other thread was deleted because of inappropriate posts that had nothing to do with her broadcasting skills and rightfully so.

Getting back to the original thread, don't agree with Jim,Bursik may be a good prospect for the future,but thought he could have done better for the first and third goals and Souttar for the other... need one of the two injured keepers back ASAP !!

It’s Ange’s opinions on HER Stoke with no others opinions warranted, before this season if any news was filtering through from Stoke who did our local radio station go to for the fans opinion Ange, praise n grumble and who’s the first caller Ange, midweek sport and you guessed it Ange. Some people crave the spotlight and love to hear their own voice, it fills them with a self importance that they could have lost being let’s say a ex-sportsperson ? Ange’s version of Stoke isn’t the version I share, has she been given grand tour of Oldham by GMP or been caged in a pen that’s within golf ball range of the locals ? Has she ever had to sacrifice going to a match because there’s no overtime or a shifts has been cut ?

Like with a lot of people these days, you're jumped on for having an opinion on a service that has gone pretty downhill over the years. Why not have a different member of the council on each week and rotate it that way. Or give fans a chance to have a guest slot. I used to enjoy the show, now it's an effort to get through BBC Stoke's version of "Dad's Army FM" every matchday.

Well I don't have a massive issue with Angela Smith she is involved with everything Stoke "Fan" related and it can leave you open to criticism. Some people crave the limelight and she's not alone in that and I think social media has created this. How many years Has Angela been so prominent as a Fan? She did seem a bit defensive with Jim on P&G yesterday.

Well paid players/managers/chairman etc which we pay to watch will always be open to criticism, understandably. Unpaid volunteers acting in what they believe is in the interest of fellow other supporters whether we like their opinions or not don’t deserve personal criticism imo. Also, it’s easy to criticise, but very difficult to do any better sometimes.

Salt of the earth are school ma'ams and the most valuable members of our society. Let's just say that I was paying Ange a sort of backhanded mischievous compliment, as I do you sometimes, even though that may, in some way, also be a putdown to our mutual mate Mr Plympton who often needs taking down a peg or two because he keeps our mountain rescue services busy. Take care out there Ma'am. And be first in the queue for the vaccine. OSx

Or give fans a chance to have a guest slot. Way back in the 70s they used to have a post-match group of 4 fans discussing the game, drawn from a large panel, each of whom went on about 2/3 times a season, chaired by Joe Hill. I thought that was a good model because they were ordinary fans but you got a variety of voices and viewpoints.

There should be a different Oatcake representative on each week.
One week we could have a heavily opinionated monologue from Bayern about how Tom Ince is still a good player at this level, which would contrast quite nicely with a danceswithclams week who proclaims that Harry Souttar's Large Thighs would make for a great 80s Glam Punk band name.

Sadly the ordinary fan has no voice these days, unless you count those morons on the YouTube fan channels like AFTV.
