Feck off............

From the Scotsman.................

Coach's wife swore at me claims BBC man Moore


By Gareth Black
THE Scottish Rugby Union has declined to comment on an allegation made by former England captain Brian Moore that he was told to 'f*** off' by the wife of Edinburgh coach Andy Robinson at the Calcutta Cup match.
Moore was at Murrayfield on Saturday to witness Scotland's 15-9 win over England as a BBC commentator, a role in which he has built a reputation as an outspoken critic. He also writes a newspaper column in the Daily Telegraph, and yesterday's article began by stating: "The most fantastic event at Murrayfield on Saturday was when the wife of former England coach Andy Robinson, after cheering as fanatically for Scotland as she used to for
England, told me to 'f*** off', adding that 'my husband is a good coach'."

The alleged incident is understood to have stemmed from Moore's criticism of Robinson when the latter was coach of England between 2004 and 2006. Robinson resigned after winning only nine of his 22 matches in charge, blaming a lack of support from the RFU.

Moore continued in his column: "Actually, I have never criticised his coaching; his record in this regard is self-evident, but he was a terrible selector."

Robinson returned to rugby last year when he was appointed head coach of Edinburgh, and he was then made joint coach of Scotland A.

After Scotland's poor performances in the first two matches of the RBS Six Nations Championship, there were calls for him to become involved with the senior squad, and last week he attended Scotland training sessions in the build up to the Calcutta Cup match.

Find it hard to believe that's the first time Moore has been told to fcuk off in his life. It's not newsworthy and he does himself a diservice to try and make a story out of it. I enjoy Moore for his forthright opinions and honesty, but if he is offended or even surprised when someone is forthright back, then he loses credibility.

I find Moore amusing; he’s outspoken, opinionated and doesn’t care what others think.

We must be related :cyclops:

I'd say he only brought this up to show it was a more entertaining incident than the match which was fairly brutal and maybe even worse than our game.Anyway I like Moore.He actually says what he thinks and doesn't worry if a few people get upset.He is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise limp BBC rugby team.Just imagine who you would like listen to-----Guscott(most boring person ever--coma inducing),Inverdale(Put you to sleep),Austin Healey(Annoying little prat),Butler(Judean People's front type splitter.Over-emphasising useless players names as if they are going to change the world e.g Jamie Noooooooooon),Davies(annoyingly shouting out things during games in his annoying voice),Wood(banal comments and only sees non-existent positives in Ireland's endless crap play),Any of the Scottish pundits who fail to see reality,All the touchline contributors are a waste of time as they just state the obvious.Still better than ITV though.
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

Keith Wood and EOS are good friends. Don't expect an objective analysis of Eddie from him.
