After watching the game I got into the car and switched on RC. Caught the tail-end of John Goodwin defending himself for something he had said.
Anyone know what it was?

Be awful whatever he said.
Can't listen to the man me.

He speaks sense.

Unable to be in Barrow last night so listened to the radio. Clear description by Adam Johnston and thoughtful analysis by John Goodwin. Appreciated. Last night, however, they ultimately made for difficult listening.

Think basically he was saying that Barrow fans might just think he was being negative but he wasn’t he was just summing the game up as he saw it which is his job

Absolutely! He tells it like it is.

Uncomfortable listening for some no doubt but the truth hurts.

John 'that's why he's playing at this level' Goodwin

I like his analysis though - he tends to tell it as it is. Got him in trouble with IE last year!

Goodwin is excellent but tells the truth which some supporters find uncomfortable.

I’ve always found John very good to listen to and always says it as it is! Some commentators just praise there own team all the time! What’s wrong with saying negative things about your team? End of the day if there shite , there shite and need telling!

I think he does a good job. If he makes negative comments it’s because most of the home performances have been pretty dire lately.

If you look at the last 3 seasons we don’t even come close to winning 50% of our home games in the league. Don’t know what’s happened to Fortress Holker Street.

It's not a fortress these days; it's a sandcastle on the beach at Biggar Bank.

Not many teams will have a 50% win record over three seasons, unless they have consistently finished top 7.

I know. I’m talking specifically about our home games. You’ve got to be winning most of your home games to get anywhere. We don’t.

I'm talking about home games too - you have to be in and around the playoffs to register a 50% home win record - it rarely happens for anyone outside the top 7/8. The Fortress Holker Street thing is probably a myth anyway - aside from the promotion season, I bet our record has always been at best about 8-10 wins at home per season for the past decade.
