Poor Cav, having to listen to all that Flemish. He must have really hated Sky!
Good move by the team, not keen on the Belgian commentary though!
Can't be as bad as Hugh Porter saying "Raceface" every 2mins.
Just got back from hockey training and read this - checked out some already - excellent !
Thanks for the steer lads!
Oooh I have 30 minutes to get my bubs to bed, tidy up the toys, make lunch boxes & sort out clean uniforms..
No problem!
Thats great! Good to see a team trying new things to add a bit of positive publicity beyond the usual boring rubbish.
