What's the rumpus, Tom? [quote="Pemps":1dso5atj]I can't confirm Bennett's exact words but I believe they were along the lines of "Strewth Ian, I wouldn't touch him with yours. He's a flammin' Gala".

Carney came out with something along the lines of "Fev have had a great few years, the had a great weekend against cas. Now hopefully the will continue that with a win today"

It was toward the last 10 mins he came out with it.

You should have listened to Radio 5's commentary, Peter Roe, professional Yorkshireman, now that was mortifying !!!

Two things for me. Carney should be used as either presenter or pundit, don't Mix the two. Generally he is fine but his efforts to call Tommy's try a knock on was laughable!

Quote: Wellsy13 "Is this is Ian Hardman try that went to the video referee and was actually given as a try?
'"


No, it was the other one Hardman scored, the 400-metre dash around the entire Wigan team.

Of course it was that bloody one. You know perfectly well which one it was, and you know perfectly well that whatever the little drip in the VR box says, it was nothing like a try. You also know that Carney was talking through his ar2e claiming that it was.

I think Carney should be a pundit not a presenter, his introduction to last nights game was unbelievably wooden, it was so obvious he was reading from a script It almost felt awkward. Eddie takes a lot of stick but he is good at what he does in that sense.

I'm sorry but I switched off from Carney's comments when he stated that one of the spectators in fancy dress sat on a roof was Buzz Aldrin as opposed to Buzz Lightyear. icon_lol.gif

I thought the whole commentary team was poor - not just Carney. Very much trying to talk up a Featherstone win, especailly in the first half - it was so repetitive and irritating, I actually would have preferred Eddie and Stevo to be honest.

That was another bit of rubbish from Sky. It's bad enough that there are people who'd rather sit on the roofs of their own houses and watch for free than pay on the gate and support their local team, but do we really have to give them coverage?

Rugby league must be a great game to survive the people who run it. Never argue with an idiot. He will bring you down to his level and beat you with experience.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_4916.gif



He should stick to being Wire's travel agent for me

A purple patch inspired on his home ground by man of the match WIGAN CAPTAIN Sean O’Loughlin produced three tries in an eight-minute spell just before half-time, and the GB Lions added two more after the break to maintain Smith’s 100 per cent record as Great Britain coach. Sat 27th April 2002 St Helens 12 Wigan 21 Edinburgh - Sat 4th May 2002 Celtic 2 Rangers 3 Glasgow (Carlsberg dont do weeks, but if they did.....) //www.internationalrugbyleague.net/:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_36409.jpg



i loved watching him for Wigan, fabulous player but thats all down the pan now, what a complete creviss licker of a man i couldny believe the tripe he was coming out with and yes he speaks like he's reading from a script... signing for Warrington made it easy for me to dislike him but after last night i have no respect for the weasel whatsoever!! He's supposed to be neutral FFS!!

Rod Studd jizzing his load over what he (nobody else did) thought was a 40/20 was embarrassing.

Again, for the life in me i can't believe that spaceman Barrie Mcdermott gets paid a living wage by sky, if he does thats incredible!! This isnt a good picture for such a great sport. Terry O'Connor's a great chap but he needs to stop hanging around with IQ Mcdermott or he'll end up a spaceman too.

Sky - Rubbish!! but weve no alternative! Gimme Eddie and Stevo any day

Where was bill Arthur last night? He seems to be the only person on the sky team capable of a neutral view.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39110.jpg

seems to be alot of people knee jerking here. i was under the impression carney was one of the more highly rated on the sky team then one admittedly bizarre performance makes him the worst person since hitler.

I normally rate Carney on his commentary but was surprised he stuck with no try view for Tommy but as long he doesn't start being controversial for the sake of it (after all that's what they do in the media!) and has a reasonable argument I wont have a problem with him. Now what really angers me is the stupid, useless margin meter! Quite happy as long as that doesn't reappear.

Exactly right.

Those three were so biased my dad and I were calling for the return of Eddie and Stevo !

Carney was diabolical.

Should be on the dole the three of them IMHO.
