Not as much as Phil 'now you know' Clarke does week in, week out ....

still haven't warmed to this idea of having Terry and Barry on the pitch, it just seems necessary and often we miss the restart because they are still talking.

It's very amatuerish imo, especially the slightly mad look on Barry's face when the camera cuts to him and he's not sure when to start speaking

i was on the 2nd row in the south stand sat right behind barry mac, the kiwi lads all night shouting "barry, barry, barry" every time he turned round "your sh-t" very funny they were doing it to the aus players too about 4 players fell for it including their own player Blair





I wondered why Baz kept going on the pitch now i know.

I might as well ask; where is Bill Arthurs from, anyway? He doesn't sound particularly northern, unless he's had elocution lessons.

I think he is northern. I know he worked at Radio City in the 80s and was their commentator at Hillsborough on that dark day in 1989.

Goulding came up through a tough system.



The current scholarship schemes tend to sap the character out of players.

These days players in the UK are given big salaries and told by everyone around them they are amazing before they have even achieved anything. Look at Myler as the latest example.





You look at that compared to the likes of Nathan Hindmarsh or Willie Mason, who have achieved just about everything in the game, and yet because their have not performed at their best in points of their career they have been told they are rubbish.

Personally, I liked it how it used to be when a Super League coach was the guest on the Friday night game. This gave different reflections, and it was nice to get their thoughts too. Having the same coaches and past players on makes it a little repetitive, and at times a little biased.

You forgot to mention the wire fan angela powers the terry and barry thing when a try as been is scored is very cringworthey could you imagine someone doing that during the scouse v manc game today.

Jesus freaky you didnt stop taking the mick out of Goulding until recently.

Like how you change your tune as and when it suits you

Have to find a place for Angela too . . . she's been there for a while.
