Unbelievable. 18 years later and it now becomes clear that the name “Westlife” wasn’t a poorly thought through, emergency name change from “Westside” as a result of another group already having that name, it was actually a bold, defiant, visionary political statement that shrewdly anticipated “the clash of civilisations” and made clear that Islamist terrorists would not change the west’s 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 - that’s 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 - he’s 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 “and here comes Brian Moore with his tuppenorth, and that’s about all it’s worth”

Brian Moore commentates for the BBC now while Bill McLaren is dead.

Not difficult to see whose “tuppenorth” is worth more.

surely worth Moore would have been more puntastic.

Just because he commentates for the beeb doesn’t mean his opinion is worth anything, look at mark lawrenson

You shouldn’t 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 Moore’s Twitter in 2017.

the principle holds true, moore’s thoughts are only worth tuppence

Moore actually played international rugby and very successfully too. McLaren didn’t. So if you think Moore’s thoughts are worth tuppence, McLaren’s would have to be worth considerably less.

playing rugby is one thing, commentating is another. They aren’t 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 don’t. Oh well.

Go and worship at the altar of a dead commentator. :relaxed:

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?
