"Syuperb!"

He's got to get the message out and Johnny on the spot

All these comments about Stevos banal comments have brought back some deeply unpleasant memories of Eddie Waring.
I am afraid good old eddie would beat Stevo hands down for bizarre broadcasting comments, and that's saying something .

eee, ee's a poor pidgun fancier frum 'unslett

Aye, but you have to be of a certain age group and a long memory to remember some of the rubbish Waring came out with.

what about the knocker norton classic "norton just opened his legs and there was a beautiful ball for skerret"

Unfortunately you are right about the age group,on the plus side I got to see some superb players.
Boston, Murphy , Ashton , Bolton and the great van vollenhoven . And a lot more beside those.
I still enjoy the game and as a rhinos fan I am looking forward to the end of season games, some of which look to close to call. I am not certain there is much to choose if you play the wire, likewise with us and yourselves .
Whatever happens I don't want any game to be decided by a dumbass referees decision .

Yes, those were the days when R Dog used to make occasional appearances on televised games. You have to admit that Uncle Eddie's roots in promoting RL went back some way, as shown in the recent? BBC documentary.

Many people south of Congleton were only aware of the game because of his mannerisms.

Still miss Floodlit RL on BBC2, even though it was only the second half.

With Eddie Waring, French and 'Stevo' you cannot doubt their love for the game.

I would suggest though, that all were/are used well beyond their 'sell by dates' and hence their continual use of cliches.

Back to Stevoget the message out[/i", not to give away "[isilly[/i" penalties, he "[iutilises[/i" the dummy runner, running out of time so they will have to come up with something different "[ilike the chip over the top[/i"

Don't forget..................' the one pointer' !!!!!!!!!

And his new one: Concentrate on Micky Mcllorum, try and get him sent off

Always makes me laugh that.

Ray French commentating IIRC;

"Why does someone always bring a dog to rugby matches !"

Anyone for a game of Stevo Bingo?
