bearded_red Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 The bloke never manages to go a full game without making a mistake or saying something ridiculous. How many seasons has he had that job now?

Robbored Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 I get that the ht ‘entertainment’ is funded byThatchers but it’s become dull and predictable and Downsy painfully tries to make it amusing - I can see why fans thinks that’s he’s absolutely hopeless.
