You seriously think he has “blue chip” backers?Aye, fair enough I don't disagree, but if these "blue chip" backers he keeps talking about has any semblance of truth, he could end up buying the club.
You do realise who it is that you are replying to there aye?Are they above discussion?
They did become his unofficial mouthpiece !I think they're canny. I mean, today I was saying that I think they should probably interview Storey if they're going to quiz him on twitter anyway, but no one agrees with everything. On the whole they seem like decent lads producing good SAFC content. Over lockdown, especially when I was furloughed, I loved the pods with ex players and things. They can crack on as far as I'm concerned. They also get stick for "loving Donald" early on. Tbf most of us were taken in by him. For a group of volunteer podcasters to get the chance to interview the owner when local journos didn't, I think we'd all have been a bit star struck. I say fair play to them for realising he wasn't right for the club and changing their stance. They could have become his unofficial mouthpiece. They're fine.

You'd have to ask them in the Roker Report WhatsApp group chat. Although in the RR WhatsApp group chat they're probably discussing pink slices, in the WhatsApp group chat.
This.I find the criticism of RR/WMS baffling.
SAFC fans giving up their own time (I imagine unpaid) to put out content for fellow SAFC fans.
You may not agree with some Of their content but that’s understandable as it’s their opinion?!
ive always found RR/WMS balanced on their opinions with all things SAFC related.
When approached sensibly on social media, they’ll always engage and discuss what they’ve put out.
Their podcasts over the lockdown were a god send.
I think they're very different in style and tone, and I enjoy that difference. Roker Rapport are a bit more polished, WMS are more gritty and like lads taking in the pub. You get good and bad with both, so they've each got a nice niche IMOI listen to and enjoy their podcasts. I’m not on Twitter so don’t see what what they’re like on there.
If I had to choose however I’d say Wise Men Say are better.
Just wondered what people’s views are of the RR fanzine? I really enjoy their podcasts but have noticed that they are growing in influence, certainly on Twitter with some of their posters being quite vocal. There’s one bloke Gav who certainly values his own opinion quite highly (bit of an arrogant sod tbh).
Undoubtedly some great content but the whole #donaldout stuff was ill thought out at the time.
views?
This.
Imagine how galling it must be to give up your time to do articles, podcasts, interviews etc and put them out to fans for nowt and then be accused by virtue of stepping onto that platform of thinking yourself "the voice of the fans" rather than just someone with a point of view.

Even worse lolA L S run this board you do kna that don't you
Thanks mate!They're alright. I tend to enjoy these types of things more when they act like fans, rather than wannabe journalists and do "deep analysis". Most of the time, they stay on the right side of that.
I don't listen to any of the lads podcasts consistently, I marginally prefer the Wise Men Say one, but that changes when Chris "check your facts or shut up" Wetherspoon is on. His disagreement with Donald seems to be a badge of honour that comes across as self indulgent.
The lad who does the What the falk podcast produces the most enjoyable material when he has former Sunderland players/managers on.
In general its good to have so much content about the lads.
Some really good articles, one or two writers that are terrible gobshites, some great podcasts and some very bad ones. Overall a good site from lads who care about the club and put good effort in with no reward. Did chuckle when I noticed the other day that they’ve purged twitter of their pro-Donald content though
The amount of conversations where I now appear to be talking into the ether is pretty impressive. I look like a f***ing loonLogon or register to see this image
Have you gone back to their YouTube videos with Stewart Donald and Charlie?The amount of conversations where I now appear to be talking into the ether is pretty impressive. I look like a f***ing loon
Aw that's pretty bad, mindHave you gone back to their YouTube videos with Stewart Donald and Charlie?
They have renamed them.
That’s the problem hiding the past on social media.The amount of conversations where I now appear to be talking into the ether is pretty impressive. I look like a f***ing loon
