Sat below him last night and I could not believe some of the things he was shouting,at one point yelling to McCormack to "get it sorted now" in a very threatening way.

Can't knock his passion,but he is not someone I'd like to have as my boss.

Anybody would think hes put a lot of money in the club.

Surely this isnt very good when youve had a quadruple by pass

In the after match speech, he basically said we were lucky because they'd played e and his players wouldn't play that bad against us again at their place.

Basil said something along the lines of ...Oh well we'll not bother coming

Des Johnson is a knobber and it would not surprise me if he sacks ste mac.Players will just get ed off and with no continuity they will fail.You can have passion but it has to be controlled.Des needs to be careful otherwise he be back to hospital.

He couldnt handle his high and unbeatable team nearly losing to a team that was near to the bottom of the table last season........ in his eyes they are too good to be in this league and everyone should bow to them.
They wont win the title this season IMO and we should have beat the current champions last night.

Full of grace then

Des is Des. Wears his heart on his sleeve, puts his money where his mouth is and hates losing.

If the players or coaches didn't like his style they would leave the club.

How much grace did Millward show during his after match interview .... ermm ... none.

One of the posters is right. If you don't pull your weight at Barrow you don't last long. Everyone knows the score. It worked last year and there's nothing to say it won't work this.

I wish I had a pound for every time Des Johnston's name is mentioned on the Fax, Widnes and Leigh forums.

You'd have about a pound from this forum then!!!!!!

S.R.C has mentioned the name himself in an attempt to bump up his earnings, so he is on £4.00 now (but funding £3.00 of that himself)

He is a supporter. He is funding the club. He is entitled to his opinions.

He is impulsive and he sounds like a bully. Would Barrow have been last seasons Champs if he wasn't chairman ?

Speculate to accumulate

i think your right frank people like this dont like it when things dont go there own way they spit there dummy out & shove the ball up there jumper & usually walk away leaving a big mess behind them for barra & there supporters i hope im wrong but sadly history says this is what happens

Guys like Des Johnson, are OK, when the ball is bouncing their way, when it stops doing ,BEWARE, i remember our IMFAMOUS Keith Bell, took years forour Club to recover.

...and then go bust

I'm just about young enough, or is that old enough

I think if things do not go barrows way i would love to see Des Johnsons reaction.Think he needs to calm down calm down.Maybe he needs some scousers to control his heart rate?

I was in the box with Des and he was apoplectic with rage. He had a few choice words to say about some of his players too, but in saying that, he's good company to be in - I'm just glad it wasn't me who had to face his wrath.

i'd sooner have a chairman whose cool calm & collected when making important decisions not someone who see's everything through a red mist.even though it might be fun sat at the back of him laughing while watching him lose it.

Just picture it Des Johnson and 2 Bobs in a room having a little heated debate

i know who my money would be on

Des "Cob-on" made a complete t*t of himself to be honest - just came across as being childish and a very sore loser - he gave us absolutely no credit whatsoever for giving them a hell of a game (which we bossed for 60 minutes) and blamed the result on Barrow not playing to their full potential!

No class whatsoever - very unsportsmanlike.

Basil was not impressed at all - I'll tell you one thing, I bet he gets the boys well fired up for the return leg in July!

Not many teams play to their 'full potential' when the oppositions forwards bully them around the pitch.

Big girls blouse.

Some Des Johnson up and i say he is a knobber.Hate him to be my boss and i tell him to off.

Hope all goes wrong as i have had enough of hearing his antics.

From what I overheard from a leading Barrow player it wasn't 'two bobs' that was close to decking stevos double in the dressing rooms last night but one of their forwards was
