Room 101: Phil Eggleshaw – Doncaster forward

Phil Eggleshaw1. One born every minute – TV show
This programme is so bad for several reasons. At the end of the day what's there to like about an hour-long programme featuring women screaming, moaning and shouting. Most men with a partner don't need this sort of thing televised, especially when they're the ones at the receiving end half of the time! Also, not wishing to sound squeamish or anything, it's quite graphic and can put you right off your tea. Last, but not least, it prompts the comment from my wife that I fear most of all: ‘I want a baby'.
TRP verdict:  When push comes to shove we agree with you. You're in.
2. Pointless Facebook status updates
Like my first choice for this irritant can get to me on several levels. Why do people feel compelled to tell their ‘friends' that ‘they've just finished eating their lunch' or ‘arrived at work early today – keen bean, LOL.'  There is no need for it and the worst thing is they think people care. The other is the ‘fishing' for a response status update. This is where the accused throws a status out there, such as ‘really upset now', or ‘worst day ever', with no other info included, in a pathetic attempt to draw people in and make a comment about their little sad lives.
TRP verdict:  Well done, a deserved ‘poke' in the eye for FB addicts.
3. Scrum re-sets
I know this is a favourite of the players for inclusion in Room 101 but I bet most of them have been backs. Speaking as a forward, even I'm tired of scrum re-sets which take up so much time and are just so tedious. Plus, I'm sure we'd all rather not hear Brian Moore going on another rant about the subject on the BBC. Referees seem to be guessing on the third or fourth reset and giving free kicks or penalties. So why not just cut to the chase and guess who's at fault the first time it goes down rather than waste everyone's time?
TRP verdict:  Moore of the same pleas; that's 3 from 3!
