Brian Moore - The Legend of Rugby

[el punal]

I could listen to this bloke for hours. His opinions, views and rants are second to none and, like the way he played, totally uncompromising.

For me, one of his best comments was when England were playing Scotland a few seasons back in the Six-Nations. An England player was penalised for punching a Scot.

Pitbull's comment : " Call that a punch - that was just a gay slap." Priceless.

Carry on Brian regardless.

He's an absolute knob.

As a player - legend, yes.
As a broadcaster - utterly dreadful.

 

[Beach Hut]

Reminds me of Botham when talking cricket - cannot accept perhaps the game is better now and players have achieved more than they have.

 

[vegster]

He always reminds me of Darren Gough ..... until he opens his mouth and starts talking sense,

with you..he's like a little baby when partnering edie butler for a England v Wales game

Brian Moore is an excellant summariser. A lot of people tend to criticise on here but they don't really follow rugby.

 

[pasty]

Not a great rugby fan admittedly, but gave up reading anything written by him as there just seemed to a recurring theme of slagging off football.

There is hope for us who have a speech impediment. and yes I do have one

 

[Scampi]

I used to work with a rugby referee. He thought Moore was stuck in the past and had a terrible understanding of how the laws of the game had moved on since he played. Apparently his analysis is often wrong because he doesn't know how the rules have changed and how referees will interpret them.

 

[El Presidente]

Saw him do a sportsman's speech in Manchester a few months ago. He was pissed throughout, kept forgetting his lines/anecdotes, boorish in the extreme, but trousered £10k for the event.

Good work if you can get it.

I played rugby for years and follow it and I would have to say Moore is a total **** and unwatchable in fact he's so bad I have to turn the tv commentary off when hes on

 

[getofftheropes]

i like the posh chap Barnes,allways enjoy his musings like

 

[nwgull]

I like him. He gets very frustrated with players when commenting on poor play or silly errors, but that makes him more enjoyable for me.

I lived in Wales for 4 years. To say they slightly resent their license fee money contributing to them having to listen to his one-sided commentary against their nation is a bit of an understatement.

They have a red button for alternative commentary and it wouldn't be like they're waiting for the first opportunity to lay into anything English would it. He played at a time when Welsh rugby was laughable and they find it irksome that he was on the winning side overwhelmingly against them. That they should still feel this way and be concerned about him when they have such a successful side, would seem to indicate that they have a chip on their shoulders that they were not born English.

 

[Buckley's Mad Eye]

I'd rather Brian Moore than the bland bollocks football serves us up.

And you don't hear many of the English license payers, of which there are about 15x as many, whinging about Eddie Butler being welsh and, understandably, having a slight bias towards them.

Is the correct answer , find his commentery annoying ..

 

[lawros left foot]

Used to like him on The Big Match on a Sunday afternoon, didn't know he played rugby though
