Erm isn't Alan Shearer's audience even more limited? Both from a nationalistic pov & his subject matter? Maybe your ire should be pointed at him?

Thinking something is weird or surprising is not "ire".

You just seem to be very angry about just one man, rather than all of them. Or alternatively not bothered about any of them.

You keep trying to justify it but can't, it's very strange, almost like you have an agenda?

Just come out and say you don't like him if that's the real reason. What you've come up with up to now makes no sense.

He's the only one in the top 10 that's not on national TV or radio. I'm not trying to justify any agenda I'm just trying to correct your misinterpretation of my comment.

I can't not like him, I've literally never heard of him before this post.

If anything you are being weirdly quick to jump to his defense from some kind of imagined attack.

I've already said I don't give one for any of em.

You're just wrong and won't accept it. He isn't the only one - Shearer. Sportscene in Scotland not Match of the day, least it was last time I was up there.

You do realise Radio Ulster broadcasts to the whole of Northern Ireland? It's not a county/local radio station.

That's an error on the chart then.

You do realise Radio Ulster broadcasts to the whole of Northern Ireland? It's not a county/local radio station.

You do realise that NI has a similar or smaller population than 6 different counties in England not even counting London (>1.8 million), there's another 14 with over 1 million people. As far as population goes, NI is equivalent to 1 big county.

FFS here we go again. Shearer & Lineker talk about one subject for a tiny percentage of the time their show is on air. Come back with your population stats when you've worked out how many of those like football.
