| Des "Cob-on" made a complete t*t of himself to be honest - just came across as being childish and a very sore loser - he gave us absolutely no credit whatsoever for giving them a hell of a game (which we bossed for 60 minutes) and blamed the result on Barrow not playing to their full potential!
No class whatsoever - very unsportsmanlike.
Basil was not impressed at all - I'll tell you one thing, I bet he gets the boys well fired up for the return leg in July!

| Not many teams play to their 'full potential' when the oppositions forwards bully them around the pitch.
Big girls blouse.

| Quote SRC="SRC"Des is Des. Wears his heart on his sleeve, puts his money where his mouth is and hates losing.
If the players or coaches didn't like his style they would leave the club.
How much grace did Millward show during his after match interview .... ermm ... none.
One of the posters is right. If you don't pull your weight at Barrow you don't last long. Everyone knows the score. It worked last year and there's nothing to say it won't work this.
I wish I had a pound for every time Des Johnston's name is mentioned on the Fax, Widnes and Leigh forums.'"
Priceless. Coming from the fans who have recently had a new thread about Widnes 'Rent-a-Vikings' almost daily recently.
Des Johnstone's attitude will not serve the Barrow club in the long term. He craves instant success and woe betide anyone who fails to deliver. We'll have to wait and see how this season transpires but the 'champions' are definitely not going to have things all their own way this year.

| Had wrote longer but internet went off lol.
Basically Dez has no class and doesn't join in the spirit of the game... said to have give the Ref at our match 2 weeks back an ear bashing... changing what?
Yes he's helped Barrow get to where they are but would fans admit it was SOLEY him? I guess not. Dave Clark great coach yet leaving because of how Dez has treated him?
I think he thinks he much much more important than anyone in this Sport things he is tbh!

1 excellent season, and silly Desmond is getting a little 'carried away'.

 Spot on mate, would love to see that! It's as if Dezza disrepects the league... coming top last season was a FANTASTIC achievement in a tough, tough division yet he acted like it was al down to him and a given this year too?
