Radio Leicester ans Steve Booth

He's quoted on the BBC site in the Loffreda item saying

"I don't want him at the club any more. He's given it a shot but the Tigers are not going forward,"

An opinion? To be fair, what contribution has he made to the Club?
Quite liked him as a player, but, then, he left.

Batting above stations comes to mind

Steve Booth likes to make out he has the inside track on everything but he is a complete disgrace...

He probably plays gold like he talks..*&*^%$

I don't listen to Radio Leicester, even when Tigers away games are being broadcast live as the commentary does my head in. I'm interested in listening to this rugby hour though. When is it on?

He mentioned this week that he watched the game on Saturday with Luke Abraham.

Who's leaving.

Coincidence?

It's on 6pm on Wednesdays (except for this week when it was moved to Tuesday) but as the season is over now this weeks was the last one. I imagine you could hear it on the 'listen again' feature on the BBC Radio Leicester webpage, but I warn you, it makes grim listening...

Quite a lot of tigers go to the same gym as me, Booth is pretty much the only one who comes in on his own, likes to make his presence known when he's there. The 4x4 in the car park with BOOTH 1 as a number plate says it all. I just assumed he was clinging on to past glory and didn't have much to do with the current squad. Comments on here about what he's said don't surprise me but I guess there must people at the club supporting him, seems fairly destructive. I'm off to try and find the bbc listen again.

Just found the link to BBC Radio Leicesters The Rugby hour for those who would like to listen. Be prepared...

You'll be a member at the same gym as me then?

You'll have noticed how he loves to act like a pseudo gym instructor when he's in there then? Or how his gym routine seems to revolve far more around being on the equipment where most people can see him, trying to look as impressive as possible by lifting as heavy a weight as possible. And then horseplaying with his young followers?

Honestly, you can be stood in the changing room and over the other side of the room hear a loud northern voice swearing and talking about "being off for a beer later" just so everyone can hear and the immediate thought is "ah okay... Boothy's here then."

Hopefully we'll hear less of him next year, unless RL decide to expand their provincial coverage to Lincolnshire.

Well spotted Lincoln Tiger!

Ha, ha, yep Iain, Uncanny, I've noticed all these things, even down to the loud 'Im a rugby player dont you know' conversations in the changing room. He does seem very fond of doing pull ups in the middle of the room!

I've just done the listen again, never any acknowledgement that the players have to take some responsibility for their performance. Comes across as a very bitter hasbeen. If his negative opinions are even slightly reflective of the players or the other coaches, I fear ML is doomed and the next generation of tiger will look just like the last.

Good luck in the Midland 4 East (North) championship.
