Mike Sheehan's football knowledge

Given that his job is to live and breath football 24/7 he has a very limited knowlwdge of the game. I would score him 1 or 2 out of ten.

he really seems out of form. He needs to work harder on his basic football knowledge. I don't like his body language on that show. Doesn't seem that he is raelly enjoying himself either. Not sure, but think his time on that show might be up.

I think he's struggling to come to grips with the way footy is played now.

He read the game well in the 90s, but I think he lacks understanding of many of the new-age fundamentals (the press, clearances, zoning etc).

That's an excellent point. He was ok in the 70s and 80s when the game was a lot simpler but the modern game has passed him by.

I prefer someone like Rohan Conolly from te Age. Seems to have a better grasp of the modern game than Mike.

Mocked Paul Roos all year for saying Saints will come good, seemed to think it was only because Ross was his buddy.

Wrong!

That's really damning SainterK. His time in the football industry is up.

If you're going to slam the bloke at least spell his name correctly. Mike Sheahan.

His football knowledge is about as good as my spelling.

He is the same as Alan jones, Deryn Hinch and Andrew Bolt, no one likes them but they sell papers, ads etc.

I like him. He's generally very fair, reasoned, and doesn't go over the top. His latest article re the pies and what he wrote about Luke Ball re the saints was rubbish, but I'm prepared to cut him some slack. His observations are generally very good. I like On The Couch better than Footy Classified for the fact that they all appear to want to discuss the game rather than create headlines.

Yeah, but Moods, he just doesn't do it often enough especially when it counts.

And I just don't like his body language at all. Somethings wrong there Moods.

I can't ever recall him having too much of a clue...at least, having any particular insight. He follows popular opinion, reinforces what the common dope believes, and moves papers as a result.

Maybe he doesn't watch the games live anymore.

Mike Sheahan is the best of a bad bunch at HeraldScum;
Sam Edmund is funny but too smartarsey, the rest are clowns and winos that struggle with rudimentary journalistic duties.

Andrew Bolt however is one of the most awful people on the planet. He is Australia's Glenn Beck/Richard Littlejohn. Using their privilege to ruin the lives millions of people.

Don't wanna turn this towards politics as some things are more important, but wanted to put my dislike of right-wing hatemonger on record.

What about the morning segment on Hungry for Sport with Pat. It goes something like this..

Kevin: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Pat: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Kevin: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Pat: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Kevin: But Pat

Pat: KEVIN.

Kevin: Pat

Pat: Kevin

Kevin: PAT

Pat: KEVIN.

Rivetting radio. KB is a stubborn old goat and Pat is a stick in the mud.

I agree to a point, Mike doesn't generally go over the top but he doesn't mind it from time to time.

He also doesn't mind contradictory whacking ie St Kilda didn't rate Luke Ball but offered him more money than Collingwood or St Kilda didn't rate him highly enough and accepted nothing at the trade table because they wanted too much for him at the trade table.

I do definitely prefer OTC rather the Footy Classified.

Please tell me you are joking.

The guy's a stooge for one agenda. How can he or anyone who 'appreciates' him possibly be taken seriously.

No one is that mentally inflexible.

He's a gimmick.
