    "Davey's worst possible scenario would be Barnsley continuing their cup run, but then losing their Championship status."

    Not failing to continue the cup run and losing our Championship status, then? 'cos that sounds worse to me.

    Rawling is originally from Sheffield, having been educated at King Edward VII School and Manchester University. He has remained a regular contributor to BBC Radio 5 Live's Fighting Talk, a topical sports show after moving to commentate on ITV. Since Rawling's move he has occasionally plugged ITV's boxing coverage within the show, while Steve Bunce has plugged the network's own commentary. Rawling worked for BBC Radio Leicester after beginning his career at the Mansfield Chad, followed by a period working for the renowned Midlands freelance Roland Orton. Rawling has written for a number of UK Newspapers (in particular The Guardian). He has been Guardian boxing correspondent since 1997 following the retirement of John Rodda, but has also written many articles on other sports besides boxing. His interests include golf, and cars. He has owned a number of classic cars including a Jaguar E-Type, Austin Healey 3000, Triumph Stag and Mercedes SL500.</p>

    Rawling is also a self-confessed Sheffield United fan.</p>

    He's from Sheffield and we've got deedah accents? Thousands of flap caps at Oakwell these days too. Did well though - didn't mention Kes, Dickie Bird or pit heads. Cutting edge reporting from ITV.

    I think its a bit of an insult and the club should withdraw the page.

    Not for the fact we are insulted, but the fact that the reporter has clearly taken the piss.

    RE: "Educated" at Manchester University?

    Ahem, it's a fine institution, with some of the best staff in the academic world.

    4th best in the UK and in the top 50 in the world.

    This Rawlings bloke must have scraped in under the radar.

    Look at a proper source, one that uses actual results and research not student satifaction surveys!

    I agree that those rankings are more appropriate

    My alma mater number 2 in the world, so they're only one place incorrect...

    And my old drinking den at number 3.

    Shithole that it is, it did have some very good pubs and JCR's and the odd bit of nice artichoketure.

    Was your Uni actually a College of Further Education in the recent past?
