at the screen when Eddie "confirmed" that Phil Clarke was 100% impartial.Comic genius.

There was even a silence in the commentary booth......was hoping Barrie Mac would burst out laughing and stay "WTF?"

Yes indeed.Phil scuttled off not to be seen or heard from at the end.

Did think he got quite quiet later on. Watching the Thursday night game and last week he's developed quiet a love in for Cas (which isn't so bad given their play) but would love to see how much he'll change if Wigan vs Cas comes up in the playoffs.

I Doubt Cas will be so good in his opinion when/if they face the Cherry and Whites......Daryl Clark, after spending the year as such a "special talent" will deserve the rugby gods treatment no doubt.

I dropped my kebab.

Is that a euphemism?

I'm glad I went. I cant stand listening to Clarke.

He's just like any other anti Leeds fan and there are a lot of them now.I go on That other fans forum to try to get proper opinions ,but it gets harder every week.One said McGuire never changes and and someone asked him why he said that ? He said I just think he has turned in to a niggly player,Ha but you said he never changes.They never comment on the other teams faults .

barrie kept digging about clarke being a salford fan for the night. very subtle

It was brilliant when Barrie said he's gona do himself a mischief jumping up and down in his chair like a Salford fan. About time someone outed Clarke for the biased t he is. Cant stand any of the others on Sky either. But Clarke is a league above them in the w-nker stakes.

You could hear the massive disappointment in his voice post-game when he was doing his summary. It was like he was gutted we'd held on for the victory.

I must admit it was amusing to hear eddie hemmings trying to convince the viewers that clarke is not biased.
Not certain if Barrie's comments were designed to have a dig at clarke or just telling as it happened.
Anyway for me it's all good fun. I suspect if Wigan were the opposition and clarke was jumping out of his seat I may not see the funny side.

If you listen to our Grand Final wins, certainly in more recent seasons his is very vocal with his views whilst it is close but disappears once its obvious Leeds are going to win.

He is a disgrace as a commentator in my opinion with his bias, and the older he gets the more sulky and anti Leeds he gets.

I suppose the bottom line is that Clarke should uphold some semblance of professionalism and unbiasedness in his broadcasting and summerising of events but comes across as a rank amateur.This is in contrast it to the comments he makes on the sky website in general which seem to be well thought out,maybe his comments there are ghost written, who knows?

Thats a brass band instrument isnt it?
