Is taking a bit of a flogging on the Monday night review tonight. He presents wobbly defensive arguments at the best of times but so far tonight he's come up with a couple of gems:

1. Wigan had so many injuries - Fielden and Mossop.
2. None of the Wigan fans thought Wigan were gonna win last Saturday.

Now I am not an Alan Rooney fan but it's been fantastic to listen to Alan tearing a strip off him tonight. Muppet!

Just listening, sounds like things may have become heated off mike between Alan Roney and the Wigan bigot.
Listened last Thursday night when he "bigged up" Wigan.
Talk about backtracking!!!
He is the typical Wiganer.

Fielden has only played a couple of games all season. Surprised he didn't mention Gleeson and the 'unjust' banning of Hock.

Can we mention Pryce, Perry, Gardener etc or are those inconvenient?

Oh don't worry he really took some hammer off Rooney tonight and there was a definite tone to Alan's voice as he knew, and said, that Ted was talking tripe. Even Alan Jackson was bagging him saying the same.

I never take him seriously anyway as he does talk utter cra@p but it was hilarious to listen to him squirming tonight. I lost count of the number of times he came out with his catchphrase 'there's no dewt abewt it'.

Priceless.

hes a plank, but there again we are talking about a pie eater.

Am listening to it now.


he said Wigan had no chance to get to the final, They were never going to make it. Last week he said they would win. He's changed his tune now that they have lost.

How annoying was the voice of the woman reading the news!!!

I skipped that. lol I'm just up to Foster's interview.

'Joel Tomkins is 6 foot 5 and 17 and a half stone'



Someone give that man a shovel.

Ha ha! Buderus is better than Roby. (not)

We do have a few embarrassing fans it seems.

Every team has if we're being fair but this guy does you no favours whatsoever - he's cringeable every week on the radio. He was a whopper last night.

But he's no worse than Allan Rooney, although that doesn't make it right.

Give over - you're sounding like him already.

I am no fan of Alan Rooney on a professional level let's be clear about that. In him and Ray French we have 2 anachronisms in terms of commentating on the modern game and in that respect they do us no favours at all. What I will say about Alan is that he's as straight as a die and calls it how he sees it. If Saints get beat or play badly that's what he says. No arguments.

Ted Oliver is the exact opposite and how you can compare his inane, defensive and believist ramblings to the standards proffered by ANY of the other BBC Merseyside RL panellists is laughable. He turns every question he's asked into an answer about Wigan within 10 seconds - you could ask him about the technicalities of a lunar landing and he'd mention Michael Maguire. He's actually the type of Wigan fan that discredits Wigan fans and further promotes the view that you are all a myopic lot (although there are some notable exceptions IMHO....)

I'd say on a par with Rogues, now, that does sound right
