Re: Woeful Brian Taylor commentary
I just have the volume way down low on all games now.
But what really annoyed me last night after the game was the f****** waffling on about Watson, and how he battled on trying to lift his team. Who gives a f*** about him, his team just got smashed!!

Nothing is worse than Eddy. If I here the term "good play" from that fat head one more time I'll spew up. He can't finish a sentance without getting it in there some how.

Re: Woeful Brian Taylor commentary
[quote="Legendary"]Brian Taylor was a brilliant caller on TripleM, and had an excellent chemistry with the Triple M boys.
He was also a decent caller on Foxtel last year.
Unfortunately he is absolutely awful on Channel 7.
I don't know what sort of persona he is trying to adopt, or why he persists with some of the most inane and senseless discussion I have ever heard, but he has ruined football on Channel 7.

there is a reason BT is not with channel 9 anymore

he hasnt got suddenly bad, he hasnt changed his style,
he always was the worst commentator on the airways.

He isnt on 9 anymore because the station with the footy wanted him and he isnt with Foxtel for the same reason. He isnt with triple M anymore because another radio station wanted him.

yep we get it, you like BT
however my point is, many commentators have crossover media contracts
BT does not, he keeps needing to move to new franchises

Re: Woeful Brian Taylor commentary
Not sure what's wrong with the term 'good play.' I'd much prefer it to that idiot Taylor's constant stream of bulls***. IMO McGuire is one of the best commentators around, providing he never calls a game involving Collingwood.8856brother wrote:Nothing is worse than Eddy.

Re: Woeful Brian Taylor commentary
I'm not sure what you mean by that but he's on the only FTA channel doing the footy and he's on 3AW which is one of the three main stations doing radio.sunsaint wrote:yep we get it, you like BTplugger66 wrote:He isnt on 9 anymore because the station with the footy wanted him and he isnt with Foxtel for the same reason.

I think he appeals to the masses.

Re: Woeful Brian Taylor commentary
None of the commentators were biased last night (as none of the had an affiliation with the team that was playing us). The problem with the commentary was the fact that they forgot to mention how damn good the team that won last night was. Not once did they mention how fantastic they were and that they SMASHED Essendon to pieces. It was all about how bad Essendon played. St Kilda only won because they had Crameri out and because Scott Watters went out with a game plan to beat Essendon. WTF? Don't all teams research their opponents and compose a game structure and plan tailored to beat their direct opposition for that week..?? BJ and Stanley were pretty decent outs for us also.
Essendon played woefully because that is how we forced them to play. End of story. If Essendon had of beaten us by 71 points, they would have rocketed in to premiership favouritism and we would have heard about them non-stop all week. Serioulsy, after listening to some of the talk about the game in the media today, I am wondering whether Essendon lost to themselves last night. If it wasn't for it being Milne's 250th and Roo's outstanding game, we would not have had a mention at all!

You can listen to Bristle tell you Carlton are still a massive chance at 28 points down with two minutes to go, you can listen to him tell you all about Lorne, or you can watch a monkey on a pushbike...I know which I prefer...
Re: Woeful Brian Taylor commentary
Couldn't agree more - too many commentators seem to have their mind made up of who will win before the match starts and will the result over the line through their commentary. Lat night we were 10 goals up Taylor made the comment "That is a sad old scoreboard". He made no disclaimer that it was only sad for Essendon supporters. Unbeleivable - these guys commentate for whichever team has the biggest following - Bruce is the same.saint75 wrote:None of the commentators were biased last night (as none of the had an affiliation with the team that was playing us).

Can't stand the knob jockey!!!
Obviously hates us.
Missing channel 10 commentating on Sat nights.
This crappy team has marred our 2 best wins this year(blues/bombers).
Feel sorry for Richo and Lingy having to work with Taylor and Darcy.
The jokes about Lingy's shirt were cringeworthy.

Re: Woeful Brian Taylor commentary
Me. I agree with paulski, having to watch our good wins is not the same with the sound turned off. It would be like going to the ballet without the orchestra. If Dennis and Bruce were calling it would be much better (the footy and the ballet). I also agree that Matthew Richardson and Cameron Ling are very good. I might say that they both seem to have soft spots for the Saints - then again, they always emphasize the positive.SENsaintsational wrote:A commentary team has 'marred our 2 best wins'??

Re: Woeful Brian Taylor commentary
I don't mind BT trying to be funny, but without another caller it sounds ridiculous. He's surrounded by special comments blokes...
Mind you I can't forgive him for confusing Gwilt for Hayes the other night...
I mean, how can one actually do that?

On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

Re: Woeful Brian Taylor commentary
I think after a careful analysis of "Barge's" tone towards the other commentators and the viewers, he talks to them and us like he (in his mind) is the only one who knows and understands the rules which makes him the expert and the other commentators (in his mind) are inferior and therefore talks to everyone else with that patronising and condescending tone.
And Rohan Connelly is currently on SEN bagging the hell out of Saturday's broadcast and called it "crap"
I agree

Re: Woeful Brian Taylor commentary
McGuire is my pick of the commentators, along with Cometti and McAvaney. On the radio, my pick is the old-sounding fella on ABC who does it old school. Often calls with Alves or Healy.

Best kind of commentary would be a lot more sparse, down to business, never inane digressions or poor man's banter.

Yep, we can watch it on Fox but still get BT.
And no ad breaks siren to siren means you are paying for MORE of BT!

Re: Woeful Brian Taylor commentary
Brian Taylor is that bad.. he's good.
Talks nonsense, comes up with sayings i've never heard before, can't get enough of his own nick names and back stories.
That said, it is better that he has another commentator, a professional.. to counteract his dingbat, sooky persona.
You honestly didn't find it amusing him harping on about the goal umpire "barrel-boy" and how he has to be careful to get his chest out of the way on the goal line?
Saints fans seem like a bunch of fuddy duddy sooks. Lighten up, it's a friggin game of grown men chasing a ball around.
