Barry Mac
A few years ago I went to a Black Tie Gentleman's Evening at the Manor Golf Club in Drighlington. The guest speaker was Barry Mac. The owners of the golf club are my brother-in-laws so I was seated with them at the "top table" with Barry Mac. Of course the conversation got to rugby and he asked me what team I supported. In those days Leeds & Bradford were the top teams and of course Cas were the "small town team". I told him I supported Cas and always had done, he replied "he was sorry for me". A comment which really put me off him. I wish I could meet him again and he would ask me the same question.

Re: Barry Mac
I recall being at a junior rugby club event with him as a speaker and was given the chance to speak to him. Someone remarked to him tgat I was "From Css" to which Mcdermott haf a bit of a rant about how ruff, scruffy and bad the town was and that it wasnt a nice place. He also said I looked like I was from Cas to the merriment of a few others. When he had finished I informed him that I didnt and never had lived in Cas. Made himself look a right idiot in front of a lot of people.

Re: Barry Mac
He's obviously no fan of Castleford, the team, the fans or the town. Too full of himself and enjoys belittling people.Lofthouse Tiger wrote:I recall being at a junior rugby club event with him as a speaker and was given the chance to speak to him.

Re: Barry Mac
I despise him more than I do wingy Wane. Moaning Mac has never had anything nice to say about our club or Powell.
Re: Barry Mac
Not sure how he can speak in disparaging terms about Castleford ( the town). Has anyone been to Oldham lately (where he's from I believe)? I have and I'd keep my mouth shut if I were him.

Re: Barry Mac

Re: Barry Mac
Is he really that bad in person.
Believe it or don't believe it I wouldn't be intimidated or scared of him and would have told him to F off D H. LITERALLY.

Re: Barry Mac
I just stared him in the eye, literally, and let him go off on one then let him know I wasnt from Cas and he soon shut up and looked embarrassed. What was quite amusing was that a couple of people said well done for making him look stupid but all that credit went to him. My part was minimal.

Re: Barry Mac
My residing memory of him is us thrashing Leeds down the lane and the WRE chanting "Sinbad's gonna get you!" and "Cyclops cyclops what's the score?" Cruel/non pc but the sort of bloke who deserves all the stick he gets.

Re: Barry Mac
And that sums up why I wouldn't take his comments too seriously, particularly at a 'Sportmans' type dinner where the whole point is to entertain or be entertained and part of this is to play on the rivalries between teams/players.RonnieGibbs'forearm wrote:My residing memory of him is us thrashing Leeds down the lane and the WRE chanting "Sinbad's gonna get you!" and "Cyclops cyclops what's the score?"
