[QUOTE=Saint from Bury;782518]Cummins is leaving his role at Sky:
One down, 7 or 8 or 9 to go
But the bad news is - he is being replaced by Robert Hicks.
How many times did he concede that a ref was wrong? Twice maybe? Pointless role
He was like the Iraqi Minister of Information when the Americans invaded when it came to his defence of the referees
Glad he’s leaving. Boring.
Hope the whole role in the commentating team goes, not just him
"The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It is nothing of the kind. The game is about glory, it is about doing things in style and with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom." Danny Blanchflower.
Might have been written by a footballer about football - but never a truer word............
Careful what you wish for that squeaky voiced ex Liberal Undemocrat is looking for a job.
On the Back foot looking for the front one.
Just about everyone was glad to see Eddie Hemmings go before he went, I for one would have him back tomorrow in place of what we have now. If we are to have a referee in the team, lets have one who explains what the decision should be, right or wrong, for any new viewers who might not understand the game.
Loyal and true, not a glory hunter.
He was very good at the start as was Stevo. Stevo became the same old cliches every week. and Hemmings became full of self importance. Even at the end of backchat, I thought Stevo was very good on general rugby discussions, rather than trying to comment on a live game.
I'd have him back tomorrow. He had his faults but is miles better than Arthur who is utter crap.
In relation to Cummings they don't need a former ref in the booth explaining every decision, its not the NFL. There is possibly an argument to have a section after the game with a former ref to tie up some loose ends but generally its not needed.
