I think if things do not go barrows way i would love to see Des Johnsons reaction.Think he needs to calm down calm down.Maybe he needs some scousers to control his heart rate? |

[i:5a56um9q]Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.[/i:5a56um9q]

I was in the box with Des and he was apoplectic with rage. He had a few choice words to say about some of his players too, but in saying that, he's good company to be in - I'm just glad it wasn't me who had to face his wrath.

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.

From what I overheard from a leading Barrow player it wasn't 'two bobs' that was close to decking stevos double in the dressing rooms last night but one of their forwards was

| Quote: 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!
