Brilliant listening to ol' biscuit legs on the coverage.

Personal faves being,

I hope they cut the grass before tomorrow or we'll only see the top of Rob Burrows head, and

Gareth Hock, he's just arms, legs and tattoos running right at you

Pure class.

I couldnt agree more!!!

He's superb awesome guy!!!! Game Over COME ON!!!!!!!!

He's a great bloke is Brian.

He's very quick witted, very funny and on top of that a very good summariser and raises some good points.

Plus, to those not as familiar with the game, he looks alot more professional than Baz and Tez (as much as I, and all those who know the game, like them).

Also, he's clearly still a Wigan fan!

Great to have a couple of Wigan fans in the studio tonight. I thought he & Clarkie were having some sort of Wigan love-in competition at times. Even Stevo was joining in. Poor old Eddie. He must be fookin choked.

Great humour from the guy, we need people like him to showcase the Greatest Game.

Brian Carney should be the future of Sky's coverage for me.

I want to have his babies.................................................................................
























or at least have fun trying

Carney is educated and went to University.

O'Conner is well meaning, but oh dear McDermott is chav material.

Definitely. Barrie and Terry are embarrassing.

McDermott had me & the missus in stitches earlier.

"Big Paul Anderson, spent hours doing his hair this morning, and forgot to put it on."

SNAP!!!

Its about time McDermott woke up and smelt the camels back!

McDermott isn't that bad.

O'Connor on the other hand...

Now Now Donna !!!

I loved that, that was awesome

I like having Tez and Barrie Mac on. these two along with Carney and Phil make me chuckle No end. i especialy love it when Eddie or Stevo make some outrageous claim that has scant regards for the rules of the game, only for Phil to rip them to shreads with his Knowlage of the rules.

My fave Tezza quote was a few years ago and IIRC it was a Hull FC game.
Hutch Mavia (i think?) ran the ball in knocking someone on their backside. tez then came out with "I tell you what hes a big lad aint he, if i found him in bed with our lass i think i would tuck him in!"





If Brian was to become a more permanent fixture then it it could only be for the good of the game, He is Witty, Intelligent, has a good understanding of the game. add to this he (may) have credibility with the RA RA's wich could help with expansion in Wales and werever the RFL decide to ambush next.

I am also reliably informed that he is a bit of a hunk, and female types find this quite alluring. i reckon he looks like captain caveman though.

He was good in his role, should be used more IMO.

I agree

Loved comments - 1. about only seeing Rob Burrow's head and 2. Gaz Hock is Arms, Legs and Tattoos!

But also loved it when Hocky scored that try and he said "Long had NO chance". Such a Wigan fan I love it!

Also stuck up for Ainscough when Eddie and Stevo were coming out with their usual rubbish when Paaaat scored the try in the corner (1st half).

Yes, it doesn't sound too good when Terry says, "Them players."

Why not? It’s how he speaks. I would much prefer that than some plumy sounding fake.

Part of the appeal for me is that they are both ex pros (tough ones at that) who wore their heart on their sleeve during their playing days. They are passionate about the sport (Barrie Mac’s enthusiasm in particular) and are always humorous about their club loyalties and can take (and deliver) a joke. About their supported clubs (unlike the Blue haired one!).

They work well with Clarkey and Brian C and I enjoy listening to Dave Woods commentary also.
Those five Could be the future Sky team.

or' i fink' but Terry has gone posh these days , they don't pass the ball they promote it. Wots all that about Terry?

ya gotta love a bit of Brian....

Love Carney. Hes the sort of character we should be using more to promote the game. I like terry and barry but i think they would be better used doing other things instead of commentating, like little skitts for boots n all or something.

Get Carney, Clarke and that Bill all the time, and get rid of eddie and stevo!
