Quote: rossonwire "Eddy Hemmings is almost as bad for our game as Eddy Waring was.
His technical knowledge is zero, he's never played the game in his life
and his endless, irrelevant historical crap is nauseating, especially
when a superb game is being played out in front of us.
Its an insult to the players efforts and to our intelligence.
Stevo certainly has some technical knowledge and makes some
realistic comments but does also make some ludcrous statements.
The sooner Brian Carney takes over, with someone like John Wells or
Dave Woods the better..
And PLEASE, PLEASE no more of the childish "binocular challege" lunacy.
It again is reminiscent of Eddy Waring and "Its a knockout".
How can we expect outsiders to take our game seriously when we
persevere with such un-professionalism ?'"
to be fair and its only my opinion but i think everything about your post is wrong.
just because Eddie has never played the game doesnt mean he cant call it. Channel 9's Ray Warren never played the game neither did Andrew Voss.
its quite clear that the non playing Eddie has repeatedly had to explain rules to Stevo to my knowledge the reverse has never happened.
hemmings has personnally never insulted my intelligence, he hypes thing up a bit as is a Commentators job but He's never shouted for a player to "go on score a try" like Stevo has done.
Dave woods is a ridiculous Yorkshire biased tosspot in a similar vain to Stevo although his support and dislike for a team i.e last two challenge cup finals is much more subtle.
the binocular challenge what a bizzare statement is not done during a game so whats the problem.its done in a separate light hearted programme, i'm sure Soccer am and its tomfoolery is very popular.
The footy show in Aus is/was very popular with its comedy japes, some of the funniest telly ive seen with Reg Reagan in his pomp.
any programme regardless of style is welcome on TV if it can help spread the word even the superleague show with Harry Gration...!!!
i'd rather people tune in to Barrie mac and big tez d1cking around but being funny than tuninng into to Stevo being serious but actually turning out funny.
