It's a way around the salary cap shhhhhhhhh.

Glad that my source was wrong and it isn't a double leg fracture. Get better soon Amos!

I told you not to mention Salary cap!

Yes he was. It was mentioned in this morning's edition of the Daily Espress[size=80o[/size

If it wasn't you have just upset his girlfriend

Subliminal messages.

Dire, Stains or the Whinos?

I must apologies, I stated last night that my source, who is my sisters friend who works for the club, text messaged my sister informing her that amos would be back in 2-3 weeks and hadn't broke his leg... She got one bit right but her timing was well out..





And there was me thinking I finally had someone on the inside who could provide me with all the latest info... Guess I will just have to keep coming on here for the latest gossip and club news!!!

We should get the same doctor for Amos that has treated Rooney to get back so soon!

Nothing short of amazing his recovery!

Get Amos sent to Man Utd, we'll have him back for the Salford game!

Beswick will be pi$$ed off it ain't broke!

Rooney was no were near fit tonight and selecting him tonight is a reason United have fell short.

Thanks for your e-mail regarding the 6 April edition of 'Beswick at Breakfast' on BBC Radio Manchester.

We understand that you felt Allan's comments about Amos Roberts' suspected broken leg were inappropriate.

Allan Beswick is very well known as a Warrington Wolves supporter, who are currently battling with Wigan Warriors for the top spot in the Super League. His comments here were in that context, with rivals Wigan Warriors having scored a very convincing win in their match against Wakefield Trinity Wildcats on 5 April 2010, thus keeping them at the top of the table.

Allan's unique brand of humour is well known to his BBC Radio Manchester listeners who will appreciate that his comments here about both Wigan and their player Amos Roberts were not intended to be taken at all seriously, but were merely humorous comment borne out of frustration at Wigan's excellent result which kept them above Warrington in the table.

His banter with sports presenter Delyth Lloyd on the subject was clearly light-hearted with Allan in reply being jokily called a "naughty man" by Delyth.

Clearly in no way was Allan actually happy that a player suffered an injury - indeed he was genuinely full of praise for Wigan's performance even though it meant his beloved Warrington were denied the top spot as a result of their win.

The sports report also went on to focus on the incident itself in some depth including commentary clips plus a description of the match and a review of the injury incident with an interview with the team's coach describing it fully.

However, we do acknowledge your concerns over his comments and we'd like to assure you that we've registered your complaint on our audience log. This is a daily report of audience feedback that's circulated to many BBC staff, including members of the BBC Executive Board, channel controllers and other senior managers.

The audience logs are seen as important documents that can help shape decisions about future programming and content.

Thanks again for taking the time to contact us.

BBC Complaints

^Exactly the same reply as I have just recieved.

Clearly the BBC think there is nothing wrong with him behaving like some loutish fan who laughs when players from other teams get stretchered off.

Oh dear - i think I have reached that age where I like nothing better than to complain

:

[iAbsolutely amazing but not particularly surprising that you could defend a
presenter making fun of a person breaking their leg as 'light hearted
banter'. How can you say that Alan was 'clearly in no way happy' when he
'clearly' stated 'you can tell from my voice that I'm smiling'?

I'm offended that you have made such a response without due regard to what
was actually broadcast. I of course expect to get no response/some token
copy and paste nonsense inline with the fob off received already.[/i

also got the exact same reply.
if my unique brand of humour includes me going around smacking people in the face with a frying pan is that ok?

Outstanding reply, im assuming you havent had a reply to that!!

[iI'm sorry but that response is unacceptable. I don't accept for one minute it was light hearted banter. Bernard Manning had a "unique brand of humour" also. That's a sop to say that Mr Beswick has an offensive brand of humour!.

Under the Freedom of Information Act I would like details of every complaint made about him in the last 12 months. I will then decide if I wish to take my complaint further[/i.




My reply. They have 30 days in which to provide me with the information

That should give them a bit of work to do to earn the licence fee.

Bitching aside, it's great news that the injury isn't as bad as feared - the game needs entertainers.

It worked for Ade Edmondson & Rik Mayall!

I see that 'Ste of the Warrington Casuals' is yet again giving us the benefit of his immensely experienced and authoritative opinion. Hopefully Magurie, Wane and Bitcon will take note, and possibly at some point put 'Ste' on staff, so that he can advise everyone else how to do their jobs properly as well.

I've just spoken to Amos in Wigan (well, said hello) near Specsavers. Didn't have any crutches or anything so (although I'm not sure if this injury constitutes them normally) maybe less than the eight weeks.

I wonder how Beswick will feel this week about Super League...

we should all ring up the show tomoz and sing Hull kr Hull kr Hull kr to him
