Problem is the game interms of the media is not that important. And generally you will get the worst ones covering our games. As for Stevo and Eddie i do really think they know what they are doing, they will know that most Wigan supporters think they are biased so will play on it. I dont think that Stevo is that bad but Eddie is defenitley covering our games lately looking to jump on us.

Quote: lefty goldblatt "De-rail tastic
I thought this thread was supposed to be about Radio Manchester's Rugby League coverage, not widge measuring over Wembley attendances.

FWIW, I can't listen to it
Jack 'verbal diarrhoea" Dearden, wont stop talking to let guests/callers have their say
Trevor Hunt will do anything EXCEPT give a commentary on the game. Instead, he's too busy talking about the upcoming phone-in, latest football scores, sports headlines etc. THERE'S A BLOODY GAME ON. COMMENTATE ON IT.
And as for Phil "it's so unfair for Wigan, all this salary cap rubbish" Kinsella , he's hardly anti Wigan. is he?

The best thing for all concerned at Radio Manchester's RL coverage, is to tear it up, and start again with new people.

Their whole coverage is cringe inducing (especially the sending in of texts for the phone in. They make some of the arguements on here, seem intellectually highbrow
As soon as the football kicks off RL is back to fill in on the GMR sports section. I am thankful for the couple of months when the sports don't collide and you can get a full afternoon of RL commentary and phone in section. Its not the best coverage but at least its available. I have heard complaints about the Leeds and Hull radio coverage so its not just a GMR issue; until something better comes along we are stuck with it.

Oh, I don't know tank123
If you've still got the game recorded, watch it back (I know it'll be painful icon_wink.gif ), and Eddie is literally praying that Wigan get back in the game, especially his half time analysis.

On the whole, I don't know why Eddie and Stevo get so much stick.

Yes, they can act like a couple of plonkers from time to time.

Stevo is biased to Leeds/Bradford, Eddie is a Wid, with a (definate) Stains leaning, when the Wids aren't in SL.

To those of you who think Eddie is a closet Wire...you couldn't be further from the truth.
I've known the fella for about 7 or 8 years, and he's NEVER had a good word to say about us, to me, especially under the Tony Smith era. All he's done recently, is acknowledge that we've improved 10 fold in the last couple of years. When we were 5h1te, he couldn't wait to "stick the knife" into us.

Apart from Eddie making the odd gaffe during commentary, these 2 are good BROADCASTERS. Yes, they may wind us all up, from time to time, but are we going to get someone better? It could be worse. We could get Dearden/Hunt on Sky eusa_wall.gif eusa_wall.gif eusa_wall.gif

I just feel that Eddie is playing the panto villan to us on occasions and he knows it. As you say Stevo is Yorkshire through and through. But when i do watch some union most of their commentators are just as bad only 1 i like is Brian Moore he will call what he sees but you can still feel the passion for England in him. Eddie seems to look for mistakes we make and miss others from the opposition. Then again i have only seen a few Wigan games on SKy this season maybe its the same for other teams.

Do you really think i watched the half time cmon i had better things to do like ironing, hoovering wash the dishes cooking chef.gif .

One thing i an thankfully i dont have Sky+ think i would be suicidal by now. a026.gif Myself. in the icon_ass.gif

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



Quote: centralparkforever "Heard some Wire fan on GMRs phone in saying they would fill Old Trafford if they get there and critisised the crowd at Wembley last week. Pure comedy, they cant even fill their own ground!'"

I remembered this geezer when I was looking at all those empty seats tonight, especially after talking to a Wire fan earlier and asking him if he was going to the match - he reckoned he couldn't get a ticket as it was a sell out and they had even filled the Huddersfield end. Rain this afternoon must have made them all decide to stay at home and watch it on tv icon_rolleyes.gif

No it was a ticketing mess up on the internet, people went to buy tickets that were 'sold out' when they were not, read our board you'll find out.

Ah right, thought it was odd as the guy I was talking to obviously believed there weren't any tickets to be had - he'll be gutted when he finds out why he couldn't get one

THE ONE AND ONLY "LATICS" , Ronnie Blair scorer of the goal that wasn't given Oldham Athletic v Man Utd 28th Dec 1975 "Nothing changes":41238.gif



Quote: partridge "He said 36,000 Not 50,000 that was the number one of your fellow Wigan fans said was going to Wembley'"

Where were the other 26,000 on Friday night then, and I still think he said 50,000.
