They are very anoying. And mr Clarke gets on my nerves. Every week someone " he is propably the best player in sl at..."

I used to like both of them but just recently they have become so annoying. Having watched Carney on Thursday interviewing JP I would like to see him at anchor other than Eddie with Barrie Mc and/or Terry O as co host. Im afraid the current duo, trio if you include Clarkey have run there course.

Couldn’t agree more – Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber are long past their ‘sell by’ dates.

Time for Sky to introduce some new blood – Carney, Harris or even Paul (R) to replace Clarke, Barrie Mac for Stevo and Dave Woods for Eddie – I’d be happy with that.

Im also a fan of Dave Woods he does some of the footie on channel 5 (Liverpools Europa league games anyway ) but I hope sky can get him before he ends up doing the soccerball full time

Jon Champion all over again .... I don't follow the footie, where did he end up?

I seem to remember Clive Tyldesley commentating on rugby league on ITV & he was good too.
The issue of pundits/commentators is interesting how often do other professional people keep on doing the same jobs for such long periods of time?
Very rarely I'd guess, yet on TV & Radio the same people do the same jobs for donkey's years.
Don't start me on Andy Grey!!

ESPN doing their footie I think

Thanks. A pity for RL really, he did a good job standing in for French when he was less lucid than normal.



A Granada production wasn't it? A live match on a Saturday afternoon with a camera on rails behind each set of posts being their innovation.

I keep trying to tell people that Richard Madeley used to front RL Action and they won't believe me, they won't. It appears to have been wiped from his CV the soft Southern get.

I think it was on Granada a forerunner of Scrumdown.
Keith Macklin may have been involved as well.
I also remember when Eddie Waring used to commentate on under 16s RL in the early/mid 60s. Roger Millward was the star & he was even smaller & even faster than when he turned pro.
He was an absolute treat to watch.

I played the Ray French drinking game once, it was hilarious and we got absolutely tw*tted. Maybe we should create a Sky Sports commentary drinking game to liven up the neutral games on Sky. I'll start with rule number 1:

Rule 1. When a try is referred to the Video Ref and Stevo spells out 'T-R-Y' instead of try, You drink.

Rule 1. When a try is referred to the Video Ref and Stevo spells out 'T-R-Y' instead of try, You drink.
Rule 2. When Stevo says 'second stanza' you drink .

I commentated on a GB Lions v AIS game last year for the RFL, got the dvd somewhere.

It's much tougher than it looks to keep going for the full 80.

but he didnt chase him back all the way he was already hanging about on the half way when Burrow picked the ball up just off the Leeds 10M line

the Sky commentary was embarrasing...
