Let's not beat around the bush, he sounded like a total spanner today.

If you ask me he needs to take a long look at himself. RL should not be using him right now. Which is as damning a critique as you could get that PNE fans don't want to listen to a radio about their team being discussed by one of their own.

Sad but true. They need to use somebody else ASAP.

But you must realise that you posted your opinion only. It could be seen that your post appears arrogant in the fact that you want Steve to post your view and not his own. So whilst you are asking Steve to change to suit what you believe is correct perhaps you should be thinking he is entitled to be honest when relaying how he feels!

Why are you talking about posting? He's referring to commentating on a BBC radio program, not posting his opinions on a forum.

It's a fair point - Westley has signed an incredible amount of players considering the short amount of time he's been here. Shame they're all incredibly useless. I see we seem to have the new blindfaith position established now - anyone who has any doubts about Westley as PNE manager wants us to lose every game and is a shit fan for pointing out anything that shows up the blindfaithers' new hero in a disappointing light.

Today's win may have eased a lot of the pressure on us at the bottom of the table but it doesn't change the fact that Westley still has the worst win ratio of any PNE manager in our history and has offered nothing positive so far. If Hume and eventually Mellor join Stuckmann in keeping us safe, it doesn't make the job Westley has done so far any less dire, shambolic or pitiful.

Surely you are forgetting ur hero, Mr P Brown, his record has got to be worse.

The OP is is not a personal attack on Steve Cowell and it doesn't read as one. It is a reality check for him because frankly he sounded very silly today. He even gave Hickson ample opprtunity to go on about how 'depressed' he sounded. He would have enjoyed that!

Somebody informs us the 'pundits job is not easy'...... This may be true but Steve Cowell is not a pundit! He is a disgruntled fan who has previously been allowed to be too close the the team. I believe a fan's place is on the terrace and not behind a microphone, particularly if he is running down the manager who is OUR Club's manager whether individuals like it or not.

I have no doubt Steve Cowell is a good guy....but he is currently acting like a sulky kid on Radio Lancs.

You surprise me Joan. the post you leapt in to agree with was not representative of the O.P. In any case, feedback is like any other unsolicited gift. Steve can either take it in the spirit it was given and make use of it or just ignore it and - in this case - carry on voicing sulky negativity over the airwaves which will no doubt be hilarious for our rivals around Lancashire.

I agree

When I am not present at PNE matches I tune in for match commentary on Radio Lancs.

What I want from the commentator and summariser is for them to simply say what they see. Surely that's all anybody listening in want's, honest opinions from those that are there to be transfered through our speakers.

If it's shit, tell us it's shit. If some people don't like listening to the truth then I suggest you listen to a CD instead!

What did you think of the 3 points we won which bring us 3 points closer to safety? Are you realy happy we won?
 
Just walked in and expected to get some stick but i also got stick for defending as one guy said to me walking up to the gantry why dont you say it how it is and stop defending the man. So there you go i get stick for sticking up for up and now i gets tick for having a go at him. but the fact I am neither iv been to every game and for me considering what hes brought in his signings which in my opipoion have been poor and they havent made us any better and like i said i think its lads thats hes inherited that are pulling him though. Saying that i also said it was probably Andy procters best game up to knwo again in my opioion. I dont have anyt agends and i praised him and his players to high heavens at the end for coming back into the game like they did.

So there you go you just cant win and for the record i only help out if there short thats all and thats not Lancs fault either. The cost cutting is hitting everybody including the BBC and i think lancs are the only local radio left that still have proffesional summerizers the rest of the ocal radio station now have people like me who travel to watch their team and will step in

But if any of you guys would like to do just contact Gary and ill step down no problem, Its not easy and i dont think i was good today but it was my opiion thats all and i ahve no agenda i was bouncing at the end when we won and we had a good trip home. So sorry if i ddint come across well today and like i say if any of you guys who would all probably do a better job than me wants to step in i will gladly step down no problem.

Thanks

To me the message is simple . Very few people listen to Radio Lancs except Lancashire people. It therefore matters very little what Gary hickson or Surf says. In reality only PNE fans care about PNE ... Sorry!

I see you are continuing with your campaign to disagree with everything I say!

I really don't know where you're coming from on this?! Not stoned again are you Bob?

"Very few people listen to Radio Lancs except Lancashire people." Er, yeah. No shit!

But I would reckon those Lancashire people would therefore contain a great number of PNE fans, myself included?

I have a mind of my own and form my own opinions based on what I see at games and my knowledge of the club in general. However some people do not attend that many games and could be swayed by some gobshite (sorry Steve) spouting about how terrible we are at every given opportunity.

Therefore this could have a damaging effect on our club. Certainly not good when moral is so low.

I agree about Hickson as he is merely an impartial observer and rarely sees us play. Surf on the other hand is a die-hard North Ender, who previously used to big us up most of the time. So to see him change tack so dramatically might influence our more casual fans to think things are actually worse than the reality.

You get me?

Sorry Steve. I think you do a decent job, I couldn't or wouldn't want to do it. I thought you spoke well duing the commentary, just that your pre-match comments were a bit uncalled for and over-negative in my view.

Hickson was in hysterics at your ranting which would appear to back me up?

Not having a go pal, just constructive criticism. At the end of the day we all want the best for this football club and we all have our own opinions. Just don't get why you have turned from Mr Optimist to Mr Pessimist in such a short time? We've been on the slide for years mate, and something drastic needed to happen to stop the rot.

You've just said you don't like any of his new signings, but on commentary stated that you like Cummins. What's he done to change your mind?
 
*off Neal, u prick. U try doing commentary on live radio. Were all PNE fans here, should support each other, Jealousy is a sin, and your coming of very jealous right now. Steve is a top guy w a heat full of PNE. I get what your saying, but get a grip. you sound like a 5 year old.

Hellfire !!!!!
 
This has been a very interesting thread, however I can not help feeling that there are a group of fans who always feel they are not represented.

As a quote, saying Westley has brought nothing to the team is a pretty negative one. However, taking quotes out of context is never an acceptable way of building a case against someone. The way it has been done on this thread really shows how desperate some posters are.

If I wake up at 0400 and travel down to Exeter, play football for 90 minutes then am asked questions by people who clearly are hoping I will say something wrong then I am likely to give a short, and probably misquotable, answer.

I have often thought it would be interesting to do the summarising job, however, having commentated on a game at Deepdale between PNE supporters and Kidderminster I know it is incredibly difficult and that is when you know the players well. With the way North End have been chopping and changing of late I imagine it is hard work remembering who is who never mind what you think about them.

That style of writing, grammatical error and out-pouring of venom looks familiar.

You wouldn't happen to be an alter ego of someone else would you, cha?
