Booming Parr

[TonyParrsDodgyMic]

Does Tony still really have to shout '5 mins of injury time' in an empty stadium booming round like a grenade in an empty vessel? Wonder if it lead to our players losing momentary concentration and conceding late on. Still don't get why we have a PA man in an empty stadium!

 

[the_dog]

I noticed that - wait for a break in play - everyone can see the board! He used to do the same announcing the Man of the Match whilst an attack was taking place.

 

[rememberlesshannon]

I blame him for the Covid crisis, leaving the EU and the riots in Bristol .
Have i missed anything out ?

I would like to personally thank him for leaving the EU, however, I feel he should be held to account for the other two and for any other world problems he’s been complicit, he should not get away with!

 

[Maths]

No problem with Tony but I think we could do with an Upgrade.

 

[td53]

I love that we're possibly blaming Tony Parr for not winning that game

Why do we still have stewards on duty at every gate exit?

Can't believe that Johnson, Hancock and Patel havn't mentioned him in the daily briefings. I felt sorry for Kai Kai who would have without doubt tracked that run, if it hadn't been for that pesky Tony Parr and his mike.
Bring back national service or public floggings, we've gone way too soft on stadium announcers.

Again, not joining the Parr bashing, but why do we have a stadium announcer? Can't say I've heard one anywhere else watching iFollow?

 

[Hazi]

Nobody is left out of the blame game to the avftt mob, now the stadium announcer is costing us points.

You've not been listening very hard then M61, Oxford even had their own crowd sounds thrown in last week.
More things to worry and get excited about over the coming weeks, than why Tony's announcing.
He'd be a ball sanitizer( ooh matron , in a Kenneth Williams voice) if it meant he could get in to watch his beloved Pool.

yep, very good. Must admit I have a penchant for blaming posters for making posts which then backfire - ie just before opposition scoring. Just me being superstitious and getting nervous. Like yesterday in the last minute "we need to see this game out" and bang - the opposition score.

Boat driving job in the Middle East didn't work out as planned !

The collapse of Gold Bond?

At least he gets to see games live!

Can i just say Catcher, i think this is reply of the year si far !

 

[poolfc]

Maybe he's working from home. It always used to sound like he was when we were there.

Other grounds have them too, tbf

 

[TickTock]

I always remember when Ternent was at Burnley, their PA man boomed out the Man of the Match just as the opposition took a shot and scored (if I remember right, they'd given the MOTM to either a defender or the keeper who was partly culpable for the goal!). Stan went mad and he only just kept his job but from that moment the PA Man could only announce stuff when there was a break in play.

 

[SirHarryThomson]

All grounds have a PA man at present. Don't mind Tony but can't say I'm thrilled at having Tenpole Tudor as our run out tune

 

[clappers]

He’s awful. Was hoping the new regime would employ a professional.

 

[The Catcher in the Rye]

Your welcome but you were right to highlight Parr’s abuse of powers, I call for an immediate withdrawal of privileges. He must be punished.

 

[rememberlesshannon]

Not a fan then Clappers ?

 

[AngelBFC]

Full enquiry needed regarding his actions yesterday.

The truth needs to be exposed

As an absolute minimum the enquiry should focus on the timing of every goal we have conceded this season. These timings should then be cross referenced with the timings of Parrs announcements to see if they match.

This can't go on .

 

[FedoraExplorer]

Tony is one of the good guys and a proper stalwart. We need to keep him for another rousing Wembley speech. As Barbara Windsor once said ‘ignore the knockers’

Who’s doing the scouting?
Let’s look on the announcer free transfer list and get them in.

You got to ask questions about why this wasn't done earlier if you ask me. Is he a championship level announcer?

Lol. Surely his contract is up? He’s soooooooo lower league

 

[Sooty59]

It’s the only way we can sneak spectators in.

Good to see the site is still providing a platform for a healthy debate about the important off field issues of the day!

 

[todayistheday]

Have no problems with Tony and his PA duties, he is a doer, unlike some on here moaning that cant get out of bed and do 90 mins of work.

[ansdellmafia]

Tony can stay for me , but Ten Pole Tudor , what ?

 

[JJpool]

Boat driving job in the Middle East didn't work out as planned !

Wasn't he doing an announcement in Arabic near the suez canal when the ship went off course?

 

[AngelBFC]

All joking apart I think tony is pretty good to be honest

Don't know if he is or not as he usually sounds like he's having to do it all on a walkie-talkie out of the Tandy catalogue.

You go to some away grounds, back when we were allowed to, and it sounds like you've got Brian Blessed stood next to you announcing half time birthdays. Bloke at Rotherham was doing my head in on NYD last year, didn't help at all, but if he'd said there was a fire you'd know first.

Yes but he can only work with the equipment he is given.

Can see the headline: "Parr's Chips are cooked."

 

[SEASIDE2020]

It's only right that we give Michael Buffer a chance.

 

[Bin away for a while]

I noticed last night that one of Harry Kane's misses occurred just as the stadium announcer was announcing(to an empty stadium) that there were four additional minutes. Surely that's all the proof needed by the members of this board that all stadium announcers should have their mics muted whenever the ball is in play!!

 

[Torycorner]

Tony is a “True Seasider” known him for years.
He is a “Top Guy” as are his mates.
FFS get off his back and gives your keyboards a rest..........#88

Probably for Chissies benefit he never seems to see the board go up!

 

[Miko]

Strange how when others used it the equipment seemed fine. Remember the guy from Utd who stood in once? Chalk and cheese. Parr has no idea how to use a mic whether he's a good guy or not.

I love Tony .. probably for all the wrong reasons .. but I remember when the guy from Utd came, it did feel like we were a proper club!

 

[rememberlesshannon]

Tom Jones has a great voice and certainly knows how to use a mike. Now he's getting into the twilight of his career, maybe SS could tempt him to be the PA man. Added bonus he could belt out Sexbomb, when we score.
Awaits it's not unusual jokes !

 

[1966_and_all_that]

It's only booming out BECAUSE the ground is empty. With fans in the ground the PA is crap.

 

[Whenthepoolcomemarchingin]

Didn't he retire once?
Rather a Blackpool fan does it than anyone else.

 

[20togo]

Really don't get what the problem is here. Tonys a die hard Blackpool fan so really don't understand all the criticism he gets.

I've heard the PA man has belted a few out in his time.........not sure he'd know how to handle a Sexbomb anymore though!!
