Just who does this clown think he is ?

He talks absolute crap through every game then tonight has the
temerity to rebuke Brian Carney in public !!

Just because Carney forgot to mention that the Wire's game on Friday
is in 3D, Hemmings told him "If you're going to read the announcments
make sure you read it all"

Carney "I lost interest half way through"

Hemmings "you can't afford to lose interest if you want the top job one
of these days"

Why couldn't he have just said "you fogot to mention its in 3D too Brian"

I've had enough of this idiot, he ruins every game with his meaningless,
ignorant rantings. Sooner he's gone the better.

Some great results today !!

They talked utter C**P all through the match

Red Hair and although its for charity its wrong!!
Stevos pills!!
Carney (who is the only sane one on there) missing the 3D!!
And just to belittle two teams mentioned every game through easter then "Oh and by the way Wakey v London next week too!!"
Need replacing for next season!

The use of pills as a metaphor by Clarke was one of the great commentary moments for mine.

Do you think Eddie's comment to Carney about him wanting the top job was him letting something slip?

God we can only pray...but I feel we have more chance of Gallen wearing P&B next year than that happening!

Carney is well thought of at Sky, he's already on the Just for Men and it's clear he's the one for the future. Why Eddie had to bring it up in the middle of his rant/lecture to Carney I don't know, it felt really patronising from Hemmings. He seems like a right diva when he wants to be.

That's the word I was looking for.

There was just no need for it. A simple addition to Carney's comment would have sufficed. Imagine if somebody interrupted every omission or mistake Eddie makes with a condescending retort.

People need to get a sense of humour!! It was all tongue in cheek...

the moron even went as far as saying that leeds's pink hair was the reason for getting beat...

I absolutley love watching the Super League on sky , I look forward to it all week but for me the commentry is very poor at the moment we all agree on that. I am fed up with the biased thoughts of clarkey every game on sky Wigan Warriors practically always get mentioned he even said last week on sky Joel Monaghan scored two tries against US last year meaning wigan , Eddie is constantly getting all the players names wrong , surely this is one of the most important things he needs to get right.

The big one was last night at saints when he suggested the rhinos dying there hair for CHARITY has put them in the wrong frame of mind and is unproffesional which was totally uncalled for , Surely we should be happy that our game is getting involved in the charity.


Reckon there should be a re-shuffle on that side of things , I actually like Brian Carney he comes across very well and has actually played the game unlike eddie.

"People need to get a sense of humour!! It was all tongue in cheek..."

If you believe that you are way off beam.

It was a nasty, pernicious slap-down for Carney (obviously seen as a
major threat to his position), and it was in public.

I actually think Hemmings is quite witty and a pretty good presenter (but
not as good as Clair Balding or Carney), but he is definitley NOT a commentator.

Many of the patronising comments he has made to Stevo over the years have been
in the same vein.

Unfortunatley he is worse for the image of our game than Eddy Waring was. He
eventually found his niche in "Its a knockout".

Where next Hemmings ? To be honest I really don't care, just as long as it's
a long way from RL.

I agree. Its time for change, both Eddie and his idiotic blad friend have to go, both very dated and purely NOT entertaining anymore, they come across as very amateur and unprofessional, the hemmings dig at Carney was nasty and you could tell he meant it, I bet Carney was fuming inside.

Why is there so many of them involved these days? Do we really need Eddie, stevo, clarke and carney all in the commentating booth? Football has one commentator and one summariser and it works just fine. I'd get Bill Arthur in to do the commentary if they can't think of anyone else and let that guy of SSN (think his name is John Davies) who presented the last world cup down under have the Hemmings anchorman job. You don't need to be an authority on rugby league to be a good, enthusiastic presenter, Clare Balding proved that.

I would love to see carney replace hemmings.

On talksport the other week they asked him 'so how did sky get to create super league and the game we have today.. and eddie started his reply with something like"well i was in Australia watching wigan play the australian champions........."

yea it was all your idea eddie.. well done.

I must be ill, I find myself agreeing with you. The commentary has changed this season, instead of talking about the play there seems to be too much emphasis on referees decisions. I know you won't agree with me, but Phil Clarke should not be on when Wigan are playing, the bias shows through so much.
