That product on the pitch was fantastic. That product off the pitch was dire.
For what it's worth, Talk Sport is advertising all the games being aired live on TalkSport2 this weekend. Might be worth syncing up the radio commentary with the game on the tv.
Myself included in this, very few St. Helens men can mention other peoples`accents, our pronunciation and diction leaves us with a lot to be desired. The commonly used "don`t know what fu`do fu`best" and ""I love that me I do" being a few that come to mind.
Wello was a superb player but his staccato speaking does not come across well on TV, Michael Smith is another superb darts player but is the same and Chizzy I need sub titles when he talks on Sky Sports.
When I first starting working abroad no one could understand me. That's changed with time and I can adapt my accent but I worked in Holland for some time with another St Helens lad and we could speak happily over the radio without the Dutch knowing what we were saying, usually along the lines of are we going for a fag/pint/finishing early.
I remember the teacher trying to get us all to say "her over there with the fair hair" which came out as "er oer there wi fur air". When I first went to Africa no one could understand me especially if I ordered two of anything, I always got three. It was only when I had to do a lot of public speaking that my accent changed through necessity. When I go home and speak with my brother, my wife who is not British can't understand a word we are saying.
