Unbelievable. 18 years later and it now becomes clear that the name âWestlifeâ wasnât a poorly thought through, emergency name change from âWestsideâ as a result of another group already having that name, it was actually a bold, defiant, visionary political statement that shrewdly anticipated âthe clash of civilisationsâ and made clear that Islamist terrorists would not change the westâs way of life, no matter what.
Was that not boyzone? Certainly if ISIS was in control, westlife would be flying without wings off a tall building.
That was Janet Jackson.
Brian Moore has been great value on Twitter of late - thatâs Brian Moore the former England rugby international and current BBC analyst, not the late ITV football commentator.
Seems to be positioning himself as the rugby equivalent of Gary Lineker - heâs fiercely anti-Tory and anti-Trump and appears to have quite a sneaking regard for Jeremy Corbyn. He thus joins Jim Telfer and Trevor Hogan in the small club of rugby socialists.
the late great Bill McClaren summed up Brian Moore while commentating on a 6N match when Moore joined in a row on the pitch âand here comes Brian Moore with his tuppenorth, and thatâs about all itâs worthâ
Brian Moore commentates for the BBC now while Bill McLaren is dead.
Not difficult to see whose âtuppenorthâ is worth more.
surely worth Moore would have been more puntastic.
Just because he commentates for the beeb doesnât mean his opinion is worth anything, look at mark lawrenson
You shouldnât have quoted Bill McLaren then.
McLaren was bang on
But unfortunately for you he was talking about a bout of fisticuffs in a Five Nations match in 1992 rather than on Brian Mooreâs Twitter in 2017.
the principle holds true, mooreâs thoughts are only worth tuppence
Moore actually played international rugby and very successfully too. McLaren didnât. So if you think Mooreâs thoughts are worth tuppence, McLarenâs would have to be worth considerably less.
playing rugby is one thing, commentating is another. They arenât the same skillset
but off you go and worship at the altar of Brian Moore
The decision makers at BBC Sport clearly deem that Moore has that ability.
I referenced his Twitter page because I think his views are interesting and generally on the mark.
You donât. Oh well.
Go and worship at the altar of a dead commentator.
Bill McLaren was a cunt mate
Agreed, and who better to spot a cunt like Brian Moore than bill mcclaren
Is this argument really happening?
