I would suggest that Rogues has forgotten more than you will ever know Mr.Lefty Goldblatt!!

H is quite old, bless him. The mind does go.

You think he has just forgotten what Bridge did at Huddersfield?

I seem to recall we were calling him a fat Bobbie Goulding, rather than a fat 80s lesbian.

Maybe, maybe not.

May I humbly suggest that you now roll over, and stop taking all the bedclothes away from Mr Gallery, there's a good chap. I think there's a bit of a "love-in" going on, eh?

during commentary Wiggy belts out that Warrington Last won at wigan in 1973 (yes he said "seventy three"icon_wink.gif and then they lost the next 17 consecutive matches until they won at the DW in 2000 and something....

Now He has obviously misread 1993 for 1973 but both cretins then go on about it as fact and Stevo says well that period was wigans best ever so its hardly suprising..

but as a proud Wire fan of the 80's we had one of if not the best record against the pie crusters at central park than anyone else and these two idiots just wipe it out...you'd think when Wigan lost two league games all year in 1987 both to us, and infact only lose at central park twice once to us and once to the Touring Aussie test side its worth getting right.

sadly they are a pair of old bum bangers [size(got it in)[/size

I picked up on that, too. The thing is, previously they've got it right - with Eddie himself saying that Wire have one of the better records against Wigan especially through the 80s.

Rule #1 of being a sports journalist, get your facts right, or you're likely to upset an entire fanbase or two (or more). I'm afraid Eddie failed big time on that one.

excellent use of bum banging there.

i would suggest you need a sense of humour!

Fascinating.

thanks

I wasnt too sure whether I'd gone a bit too far with the bum banging theme.

I have thought about setting up a Brigantes-esq type super fan gang called the Wire Boom bangers......
Ive got an Avatar and everything...

Ive left a voicemail with Lulu to see if she will become an ambassdor, what do you think, has it got legs...?

You have highlighted the fundamental flaw in Sky's structure. Hemming's role is to commentate on the games, summarising (stats, opinion, reviewing plays) is by the other party. Hemmings seemingly wants to cross both spheres, which leads to both parties talking over each other. The white noise is made worse when you factor in the additional summarisers. At best it is farcical, in reality it is rank amateur.

Id like to see Jon Wells given more of a role. Provides more insight then the rest put together, seem's to have a bit of bant as well.

That you can tell, when you watch any match he commentates.

He gets genuinely passionate, unlike the Sky muppets who just shout names, worn out slogans like T-R-Y and any 'controversial' (read: wrong) opinion to basically keep doing what they think Sky's coverage is 'renowned' for.

Sky has done so much for the game, and Eddie and Stevo I'm afraid must think they go hand in glove with all those good things. They don't.

I live in a college with 56 other lads and many don't watch RL. If I'm watching a game, casual observers just take the P155 at how idiotic the commentary is, I think it's fair to say it means a few of them don't take our sport seriously.

And don't get me started on Eddie's talent of naming players. Look at Friday, Joel goes in to score and we get 'MICHAEL MONAGHAN, MICHAEL MONAGHAAAAAN'.

End of a bell as are the rest of the 'team', with the exception of Carney and Wells really.

Banter? God forbid! Everyone is up in arms because Eddie said if you are going to read it do it properly...

i still say i'd be the ideal replacement for stevo!
