Tom Ross Is To Blame; Put the blame where it belongs

I'm with Bluebottle on this one Tom Ross is to blame for the demise of the blues and he shouldn't try to get out of it. Just like the bloke - cannot remember his name - who does the breakfast show was responsible for England getting knocked out of the World Cup. As for their so called sister station BRMB everyone knows it's the fault of that woman on in the afternoon for the shambles of an immigration policy of this country. As for the war in Iraq don't get me started on that one and the mess the bloke on at drive time has caused.

As someone has already said don't listen to him. We are not in China where it appears they have no choice and have to listen to him.

I`m with Bluebottle on this one **thumbup Would`nt say Tom Dross is exactly to blame though, but he`s a main cause of the problem. Steve Bruce is to blame. Different team same old same old style of negative football that got us relegated. Lots of possesion, no end product............... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I general consensus of the thread is that those who have posted no longer listen.

Your right Tom Ross is entitled to an opinion but is the purpose of a 'phone in' to listen to Tom Ross opinion or supporter opinion? I would imagine the later as apposed to the former. I think if Tom Ross commentary was fine and the' phone in' was good then there would be less comment on how bad it is? would you agree?

So if we need to improve our listening skills you may want to read a thread first.

Ok. I blame Talk Sport because I don't listen to them at all, and they must be rubbish if I don't listen to them. Makes sense, well as much as "the consensus" of this thread it does.

I think it's Jonathon Ross who is the problem or maybe its Tery Wogan. What an absolute load of ****** is written on this forum. This is the worse thread for years. Tom Ross has always supported the current manager at the Blues as do the majority of the fans.

Where do you get the majority of fans are behind Bruce from?There's a poll on KRO that 91% of posters think he should be sacked.You can tell the majority of the crowds not behind him on a match day also. :blahblah: :blahblah: :blahblah:

I think the real figure is about 50 / 50 personally. And I don't mean on a chat board. I reckon that if you properly surveyed match goers it would be a close split at the moment.

When the 15,000 hardcore fans at St Andrew's and the few thousand who travel away each week start chanting 'Bruce out' that's when you know the majority is against him. You cannot claim an internet poll as an accurate representation of opinion I'm afraid.

If you want to pin the blame on someone for Blues demise, look no further than Tom Ross.

He is as clueless as Bruce. His persistant brown-nosing to boost loyalty from local clubs to BRMB/Capital Gold is enough to make the strongest stomach throw up with excessive force.

He convinced himself and then pummelled 'negative' fans by telling them how Blues were going to escape the drop at the expense of high-flying Portsmouth. We didn't. Now he wants us all to be jumping for joy because we are 2nd in the table.

Ross knows nothing about football and shouldn't be ALLOWED to front our media representation as his coverage is biased.

He claims to not call for the head of managers but couldn't wait to stick the knife in when Glenn Hoddle, Sven-Goran Eriksson and David O'Leary failed. 

Kenny Cunningham is right - Blues are like a stiff corpse. Sunderland may be below us in the table but the buzz around the place shows they can only go up from where they are. Near on 40,000 yesterday, 18,000 at St Andrews. Says a lot for our manager and our club as a whole.

The club needs a shake up. We need a new manager with a fresh approach, a board willing to back the manager with funds and unbiased media coverage - one which we can voice our opinions without being shouted down or belittled.

The revolution starts here.

:D :D :D

is this guy for real?! blaming our clubs failings on a radio presenter??

can't see how he can Blame dear Tom Ross!

i'd like to ask a serious question.... if we did say goodbye to Steve, how much would the gates go up??? i don't think it would be that many to be honest.

in our family there are four Bluenoses, three of us want him out.... the other remains loyal and i respect that, after all football is about opinions, If i asked him now his answer would be, support when you win and show loyalty in defeat. I'm afraid my patience has worn thin over the months. I know one thing there's no way they will sack him whilst we are in the top six.

If you don't think Tom Ross is good, try listening to Paul Franks on BBC WM, (but hide all sharp, and poisonous objects first), then just go back to BRMB, block out TR's rantings, just enjoy the passion, and sometimes Kevan Broadhurst has some sensible things to say too!

At least Tom listens to Baggies and viler fans opinions as well. Paul Franks thinks BBC WM stands for bu**er Birmingham City, Wolves Mania

I was coming to work this morning and the lady on the radio said that it was going to be a lot colder today than it has been for a while.......and it is.

Maybe Blubbottle is right afterall.

Ok so we are going to blame a radio presenter for the demise of this club?

So does Tom pick the team? Did Tom buy over-rated, over the hill and over paid players for the last few seasons? Did Tom make DJ captain?

No i dont think he did.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the comments posted here concerning my diatribe against Mr Ross.

I have my opinions - unpalatable to some, evidently - and equally I have enjoyed reading the opinions of others, some of which I find ridiculous - but it is everyone's right to post what they think, of course.

I felt compelled, however, to address a couple of points raised.

Concerning Radio WM - the radio station is another example of biased broadcasting, true, and equally is not the most wonderful of listens. It would require a disaster of epic magnitude, however, to be dragged down to the level of Mr Ross and Capital Gold/BRMB.

On the topic of listening elsewhere - while it is true that Capital Gold, even the most ardent 'Rossite' must admit that this is not a popular move for most Blues fans as he is the only one to hold the rights to Birmingham City games. He is the sole media representative for our club, so why oppose what I said so vehemently?

On the subject of the PM I recieved. My income, I am full-time employed on a decent income. As to what my job is/where I live - that's my business. A public forum this may be, but do you ask anyone at Speaker's Corner where they live? All I will say is that I live in Birmingham. That'll do.

Finally, concerning the illiterates/idiots/Pro Bruce brigade that have sought to post here. Thank you. I do mean it. You have done far more to prove my point, and prove the arguments of the anti-Bruce lobby, than any vitriolic outburst of mine could possibly. Keep it up - it is because of people like you that Blues stay where they are.

Anybody would think that you actually go to some of the games the way you post.

I think all you're doing is making yourself look like a complete fool. Give it up and go and read another book.
