How does Andy Maher get a gig?!

I have decided that this bloke is probably the most irritating opinionated nobody that I've ever come across in Football Media. Hutchy is in the Grand Final with him. I don't live in Melbourne, so where this guy has sprung from is anybody's guess.

I've listened to some of his interviews over the past few days. His voice just makes my skin crawl. For someone on air his pronunciation is just shocking. He comes out with the most spectacular drivel. Captain Obvious in the questions he asks. Who is he to comment on what the Saints do or don't do? 'Saints Kulcher'....if any of them say that again I'll scream, but particularly him. What qualifies him as an expert? I'd really like to know.

You can tell I've developed a fair dislike for him....

Fair enough. But I like to hear what Pelchen and Watters etc have to say, and this idiot is in the way. He brings Tim Watson down to his level which is a pity.

I certainly dont love Andy Maher but I never miss the Radio show. Tim Watson is a very clever man on radio. One of the quickest wits around.

he's a carlton supporter. Still coming to terms with losing BJ to us !!!

He should talk about "culture" !!!!!! barracking for the most crooked
club that's ever been in AFL.

A pain in the arse! Watson is a very funny and witty guy....and WHAT a coach!
from finals to a wooden spoon in 2 short seasons....nothing witty or funny about THAT though!

Verdun66 · Post: # 1166288Post **Verdun66** » Tue 18 Oct 2011 8:03pm

I like Tim Watson, but he starts to go down the 'controversial question' route that his cohort Maher likes to flog. Little jibing questions like ' What are you going to do about the Saints Culture'....etc etc....

Doesn't do him any favours being paired with that Pin-Head.

howlinwolf · Tue 18 Oct 2011 8:06pm

He has a syndrome what my mates and I call.... "UCO".
Short for ..... Uncontrollably Crapping On.
He has to interrupt continually with repeated,mindless, drivel.
Loves to hear his own voice, which is far more than the rest of us.

I like SEN and I have listened to it on the way to work in the am for years.
But this fool has me switching stations.

It's a sad day when you beg to hear Timmy Watson interject him.

He had one VERY embarrassing TV interview post game but I can't find it atm.

thejiggingsaint · Tue 18 Oct 2011 8:08pm

Well it DOES take any scrutiny of Carlton and Essendon of the stage

Verdun66 · Post: # 1166298Post **Verdun66** » Tue 18 Oct 2011 8:11pm

His post game stuff is usually of the type....'so how do you feel after x, y and z....?' When that doesn't get much response....'so how did it feel kicking that goal'.....

'How did it feel' seems to be the best question he can ask. Which really anybody could do....

As I said...how does he get a gig?

asaint · Post: # 1166300Post **asaint** » Tue 18 Oct 2011 8:16pm

Who is this guy related to that he gets a gig like before the game? I agree, he is a talentless twit. You think his voice is irritating, have you heard him laugh?

You've seen a few of them in your line of work Eastern! I mean gear sticks....!

Seem to have general agreement then. Good....thought it might just be me.

Yes.

Although I don't think that I would be that nice about it.
Could run the AFLPA. That good.

avid · Post: # 1166334Post **avid** » Tue 18 Oct 2011 8:55pm

I actually quite like him!
Amazing bad accent -- yes. But I like the way he likes football, so I don't ever really tire of him.
Thought he was the better half of him and Michael Christian when they did the 5th quarter, or after the game or whatever it was.
