Excellent work Coddy.

Would that make you any less dense?

No?

You've got your answer then

The man is clearly a right tool!

The Doc will likely regret the ridiculously one sided view of the situation he was arguing this week, particularly in view of what he has said previously about the previous coach's exit. However he is entitled to his opinion I guess - sport is all about opinions

.

As a RL radio commentator, his main role, he is good IMO. It was a long wait to actually get someone who would describe the game in a manner which allowed the listener to understand whereabouts on the pitch the game was being played, roughly speaking who was carrying the ball, who had scored etc. The Doyle had strengths in other areas but describing the game in detail wasn't one of them.

It's not about whether he's entitled to an opinion, it's the way a supposedly professional broadcaster puts it across. Getting all shi[itt[/iy with callers because they disagree with him is a very poor show on what's supposed to be a public service station.

Local radio rarely aspires to the higher levels of professionalism, and ex-RL pros employed in Docs role aren't really professional broadcasters as such. I agree he stepped over the line in what appeared to be the heat of the moment but I found it more amusing than anything else. As Staffs FC says I imagine he'll be regretting it as most of the time he comes across as pretty level-headed both on the radio and Twitter.

I appreciate he wasn't on R2 or 5Live, or anything, but surely [isome[/i standards of professionalism ought to be expected. And when I say 'professional broadcaster' I mean that he works for RH every week and gets paid for it. It's not like he's a guest summariser or occasional contributor.

He's been mostly slated for his opinion on here. As for losing his cool he did mildly do so and I suspect, as I said, he regrets it.

Well, it is quite a stupid one, as opinions go! Doesn't mean to say he's not entitled to it.

I found it amusing and suspect that he's waved the red rag for future debates. I think people will now see him as a good wind up target. If Mrs B had reeled off a list of names of players he'd failed to improve and was able to quote the his comments after Sharps sacking it'd have been interesting. I think he'd have really lost it.

Mrs B is good, but that is the work of a master Coddy

A mere apprentice mate, who will always cede to the Mistress of the Quote.

She is more than welcome to remind him of his words, when she next gets the chance, hopefully on Sunday's Oval Ball 'cos there won't be time tonight before Hutton Cranswick gets on the air

has anyone contacted him on twitter with a list of players who didn't improve under agar? Presume tehre won't be enough characters available for all of them

Could always text him next time he's on RH, we could also play the "Guess the Quote" game

I should imagine most people will have just let it go/forgotten about it by now

I did. I also mentioned Agar not giving youth a chance and assumed that he and Agar had a special friendship which was clouding his, usually competent, views of the situation . He responded to the youth with "if they're good enough they'll get a chance", the Agar comment with "you must know something I don't as I aren't friends with Rich Agar" and "thanks for your views on my job, be sure to let me know what you do so I can give you my opinion on that. To which I replied with my occupation and I asked him why he didn't comment on the players who I suggested hadn't improved... he didn't respond to that.

I would have generally but I felt he was overly aggressive towards the caller and came across as a complete dick.

I maybe shouldn't be, but I'm quite amused by his last response about your job.

. TBF, he is generally a good commentator IMO but the way he's been over Agar is very odd.

Good man well done, he's a big favourite of mine or rather he was, but I saw a different side of him that day! Bias beyond his position although over the years thats not unusual for Blunderside is it?

Aye, was dissapointing, I agree.

I wouldnt go as far as some, but his lack of objective balance was appalling. I'm most amused that Cod'ed located his previuos quote to hopefully exacerbate the embarrassment I hope he's feelin'

Obviously, judging by the 13 page thread on it

I hope you're a gynachologist

" I spend all my day staring at c***s"

I do wear a bow-tie though

Sky have just given an interesting stat on Agar's results: Last week was his 50th win in charge, it's taken him 3 and a half seasons. For comparison, if Warrington win tonight and manage just one playoff win, by my count they'll have done it in 2.
