Big Brother's star goes into commentary.

By -
Bbc Jack McDermott, who appeared in this year's Big Brother show, is set to make his debut as a football commentator. The Plymouth Argyle fan will summarise on his favourite team on BBC Radio Devon as they face Gillingham in the League Cup on Tuesday. "I'm just so excited, it's a dream come true as I'm such a huge Argyle fan," the 23-year-old told BBC Sport. "I'm known for being opinionated, but I'll make sure that when I'm speaking it's in a manner suitable for radio." Known as 'Pieface' to his friends, he is a regular face at most of Argyle's matches both home and away. He turned down the chance to find out the club's League Two play-off semi-final result against Wycombe Wanderers while in the Big Brother house in order to add £1,000 to the winners' prize fund. McDermott won £23,900 after he finished fourth in the realty show and is now hoping for a career in the media after quitting his job at McDonald's. "Before I went into the Big Brother house I wasn't very keen to do things," McDermott added. "But when everything is stripped back and just down to you, you learn about what's important to you. "I'm just trying to enjoy life now, not necessarily out partying as such, but doing things that I enjoy." McDermott follows Bastille drummer Chris 'Woody' Wood as a celebrity summariser for Plymouth Argyle matches. "I watched most of Big Brother over the summer and it was so refreshing to have an Argyle fan on," said BBC Radio Devon's sports editor Alan Richardson, who will be alongside McDermott in the commentary box at Home Park. "His love for the Pilgrims was always apparent on the show and I thought it would be great to give him a chance to share his views with the world."

I left Machester United because Van Gaal changed my position: Dimaria

The Argentine who switched the red side of Manchester for the beautiful city of Paris, said he had to lea've Manchester because Van Gaal changed his position. "Van Gaal has his philosophy and one of the reasons I wanted to go to Manchester United is because of that factor. "However, it was difficult to adapt to Van Gaal's workings. I had a couple of run-ins with him. "It started well for me but then I got injured. When I came back, Van Gaal changed my position. When I spoke to PSG coach Laurent Blanc he said he'd play me in the position I had for Real Madrid." Maria's international team mate Lionel Messi has been publicly criticised for their failure in the Copa America and Dimaria also had this to say: “The next Copa America is our main goal now,” he added. “People didn't see the state of our dressing room after losing this summer's final – we were destroyed. “We do not want to lose another final. Messi is the most important player to our

How much can u bet on a match?

By -
  When we talk about passion for football, we know that a lot of people are ardent soccer fans and we also understand that the degree of passion varies from one fan to the other. However, this passion was elevated to the height of insanity by Henry Dhabasani and Rashid Yiga of the Iganga district of Eastern Uganda recently. Dhabasani, an arsenal fan, made a ridiculous wager by putting his house on the match and Rashid, a United fan, followed suit by betting with his wife and a car! They even formalised the deal by signing a written agreement in the presence of community leaders in the build-up to the match.Of course the match has come and gone with Dhabasani rendered homeless alongside his three wives and 5 children. United Robin Van Persie 27th minute goal neatly ensured that. Dhabasani was said to have fainted after the match that ended 1 - 0. Imagine what the United fan would have lost too if the outcome of the match had been otherwise, a car and...God have mercy, his w
