Footie Phone In Guest.... 26th January - DOYLER

[M4 Junction 11]

I've not been in today but heard on air about an hour ago that Kevin Doyle is confirmed. Will triple check tomorrow morning.

It's okay for some. BBC on a four day week or did you just throw a sickie?
Question: Ollie, Football referee or cricket umpire?

[Ollie]

Cheeky sod. I work every weekend, I've got to have a day off some time!

And Doyle is confirmed.
Umpire. More sun, less running.

Is dócha nach bhfuil seans ar bith ann?

We all dream of a team of Kevin Doyles, If it was possible to clone you, Do you believe a team of Kevin Doyles could realistically hold it's own in the Premiership?

Goalkeeper Kevin Doyle could be a problem

Cheeky sod.

Is 'sod' an authorised BBC word

It is not possible to compile a definitive list of offensive words. Language is fluid, with new word and phrases regularly entering the public vocabulary. Also, the power of established terms to offend may change over time... For example, racist abuse or pejorative terms relating to physical or mental illness and sexual orientation have become increasingly unacceptable to audiences. The following examples indicate the differing offensiveness of language. It is by no means definitive. If in doubt consult a senior editorial figure within your department or Editorial Policy:

The most offensive language includes terms such as oxf*rd, motherfucker and oxf*rd (which are subject to mandatory referrals); others such as cocksucker and nigger are also extremely offensive to audiences.

Moderately offensive language includes terms such as oxf*rd, pussy, bastard, etc. Care should be taken with using moderately offensive terms and they are almost certain to generate complaints if used in pre-watershed programmes.

Mildly offensive language includes crap, Jesus, Christ, knob etc. Terms such as bloody, God, prat, tart etc are all very mildly offensive terms - nonetheless they should not be used indiscriminately.

Does kevin use offensive language such as oxf*rd, motherfucker and oxf*rd (which are subject to mandatory referrals); others such as cocksucker and nigger are also extremely offensive to audiences.

You don't think Tim is going to be able to pronounce this do you (let alone Kevin understand it if he does have a go at it?)

Given my extremely shaky grasp of the gaelic (well, stay (bhfuil) whatever (bith)?) I presume the intention is asking him would he stay at Reading whatever happens?

[cheeryoleary]

I was at school with Kevin - he'll understand it. It should make him laugh. I'll not spoil the surprise.

You best spell it phonetically then so there's a chance for Tim to get it right!

[cheeryoleary]

Ollie - can you print that question out so that Tim can hand it to Kev? Ta

Kevin, You went to the same school as Irelands 5th richest businessman and billionaire, Dermot Desmond.

Questions:
- (1) Has Mr. Madejski ever asked you to call Dermot to ask if we can borrow a few quid to buy some players?
- (2) I take it that you went to a school for Ireland's privileged families. Do you know if any other Reading FC players have been to public school?

[M4 Junction 11]

Kevin, What did you think about the '380 Doyles for one Shevchenko' article in The Sun newspaper?

[Forbury Lion]

If Reading were to launch a pink away kit would you:

a. Hand in a transfer request
b. Phone in sick for away games
c. Wear it with pride
d. Ask Puma to provide you with a matching handbag (or bumbag)
