I thought this a was thread was to share our sympathies with septic peg off the Bulls forum. Shame he never saw yesterday's game coming.

He's ok, back to his normal snidey sulky self

at one point, when talking about the "thousands" of Bradford fans that had come, he said something along the lines of "with their support they are a super league team off the pitch"
just plain embarrassing, they are in the championship because they couldn't run their club properly, and the crowds? well do they not get the same kind of crowds that are constantly used as a stick to beat the likes of Huddersfield and Wakefield with?
proper embarrassing stuff from a professional!

It wasn't until around the 75th minute mark when he begrudgingly mentioned "Wakefield have looked like a Super League club today". We absolutely blew them away in the first 20, he could have really give us a plug then but no he couldn't hide his delight when Bradford got it back to 30 - 6 and 30 - 12, he was licking his lips.

Thousands??
Thousand maybe. Max.

not according to Hemmings, Bradford fans travelled in their thousands!

Yes, to Valley Parade.

It is amazing what an editor can do with a camera angle. A lot of the Bradford fans were stood together, zoom in and it looks like they are dominating. Forget the fact the Wakefield fans are all around and have their usual preferred spots to stand.

I know our crowds are down a lot and they are nothing to be proud of. However editorial licence can give a very misleading impression depending upon what your agenda is.

Spot on, when their team came out, their fans put their arms up in the air and applauded them, they'd be lucky to hold much more than a quarter of that stand, and with those down the side of the western terrace, a maximum of 1,000.

Think Eddie will have to get his 'Just for men autostop' working overtime now Leigh have lost two in a row and Bradford have lost to Super League relegation certainties!
Next he will be wheeling out what Leigh and Bradford fans use as Plan B and C.
More funding for SL clubs and Wakey have bought a new team!

The job of commentating should be given to Phil Clarke. He is knowledgeable, pleasant and does not diss teams. Plus he has more diplomacy in his widget than Stevo or Hemmings have in their whole fatty tissue.

Can't understand why people think they have a vendetta against us. They are just trying to make the tv coverage interesting and the "interesting" angle to the Middle 8s is if one of the Championship teams beats a Super League team. They are just pushing that as much as they can, especially when the Champs are getting a beating.

They should be calling the game as it unfolds - not constantly trying to create some pathetic narrative that fits their preferred outcome and the rehed one-liners they've come up with for the occasion; it short-changes the game and its fans massively to have Eddie and Stevo as its public faces/voices - neither of them are fit for purpose and haven't been for many years.

The only person on the team currently able to call a game is Brian Carney; he must feel like Prince Charles, waiting for the Queen to shuffle off this mortal coil so he can have a go; and the excellent Jon Wells does a fine job of analysing the important plays at half time. The rest of em are a bleedin joke, on the Sky gravy train and getting money for old rope.

Sorry Pop Tart I can't agree with that at all. Do you honestly think if we were the championship team they would big us up the same way? They can't wait to get us out, the commentary team, the powers that be, even all the other middle 8 teams would rather have us down than anybody else. I've been on all the other boards and reading the comments mainly on the Leigh forum apparently the rules ought to be changed now to relegate the bottom team, promote the top team and let the other 6 play off. Before these middle 8's began apparently it was the greatest idea the RL have come up with, what a surprise now they've lost a couple some of them aren't happy and apparently we're first in the firing line.

They have always been condescending and patronising towards us. Any respect or praise we have had off them has been begrudgingly given. I'll never forget that night at Oakwell when we beat the previously unbeaten Saints, then watching the recording on Sky, listening to Eddie saying, don't adjust your sets, that really is the scoreline, little old Wakefield beating the mighty Saints etc etc.....!! Poor Eddie indeedy.....

I've spoken to Eddie and he has a complete dislike of coming to Wakefield to commentate which he hides under a very thin veneer of professional conduct. Both he and Stevo hate the walk through the crowd and the climb up to their commentary position, they see it as beneath them to be plying their trade from such poor facilities. They're both used to having a modern stadium executive box or purpose built TV gantry accompanied by dedicated green room where they can be received, have a coffee, take a break and prepare properly. Eddie in particular would give his right arm to get Wakefield out of Super League, remember his absolute elation leading up to the franchise decision where we were expected to be removed, he could'nt contain himself.

The blokes a prize knob and thinks the Super League should be moulded around his view of the game.
