But it seems fair to assume that everything that has happened in the last few weeks would've happened anyway if he had kept quiet. Only difference being that our club would've faced less potentially damaging public muckraking and his show would've recieved less publicity/ratings.
Yes he was right - hooray for Finey! But that's mainly due to him being privvy to information that most of us aren't privvy to.
So I'll admit he was right but I'm not sure I see the need to apologise.

"Finey is a passionate Saints man who goes to most games" said someone on here.
When it comes to his income stream, the thing that pays his mortgage etc, it's ratings and being out there getting ppl talking about HIM.
Dress it up as wanting what's best for the club?
No. All about ratings. Simple.

Agreed. I would have simply said - Finey can join the line behind Brereton to kiss my hairy arse.St Ick wrote:Well said Doc, mirrored what I said but much, much more articulate.Dr Spaceman wrote:It seems that what he was banging on about was very accurate.

Sorry for never listening to your show in the last two years, Finey.
Maybe if you weren't trying to be the Derryn Hinch of sports radio, I'd give you a chance. But until then, I won't ever be tuning in.

Is it possible that Mark Fine WON'T have an audience from the middle of December? !!
NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!

Listened to SEN for about half an hour today, that was all I could take.
What a complete and utter bunch of wankers, surely it doesn't pull any ratings?

Rates pretty good for the type of station it is. Like all radio stationd depends who you listen to. Plenty on the ABC and 3AW who would qualify as a bunch of wankers.

Re: Leave your apologies for Mark Fine - to be printed
Mario from Doncaster seems to be their marquee star! Daniel Harford isn't too bad, and KB can elicit a chuckle or two from the Jiggster. I never listen to Fine. I'd be interested to hear what he has to say if Richo isn't the "messiah" that HE (Fine) anointed him as! Though I hope that AR is THE coach!

Re: Leave your apologies for Mark Fine - to be printed
I have not called Mr F any names on record because as far as I recall, I have not responded to posts pertaining to his out burst...........
I do not think any one who has posted against his rantings should apologize either......
He is a supporter of a club with a microphone like Eddiepie and Powerkotchie........look what they do for their clubs using the microphone at their disposal.......what has Mr F done for STK using the power of his microphone............actually never heard of the guy until his out burst about the club and subsequent reporting of it on this site.....stuff him ..........no one should apologize to him........and as far as I am concerned he does not exist until a report here that he has done some thing good for STK using the power of his microphone......

will he apologize for having had a producer that has plead guilty to sleeping with a 14 year old and being in possession of child pornography?

No. Why would you ay that? because of the callers? Only certain types call in on any talback station. Anyway 30 minutes decides a station. Especially when there are many hosts. Sorry but id rather listen about sport all day than politics and other crap. If thats a bogan then im happy to be one. At least i dont judge others on what they listen to.

Hope that is fact because if it isnt that is a disgusting thing to say on any site.
Re: Leave your apologies for Mark Fine - to be printed
Yes, go back a couple pages in this thread. Not sure if he is still a producer at SENplugger66 wrote:defacto wrote:will he apologize for having had a producer that has plead guilty to sleeping with a 14 year old and being in possession of child pornography?

I don't consider that radio station to have any integrity at all after recent events

That's so funny Pluggs, you are the most judgemental guy on here. I actually don't mind SEN as background noise in footy season. I find some of them very tedious like Finey and the Ox and Mark show thing where they seem to be competing to be the biggest dipshit every day. KB is actually a pretty good announcer and Harford does well too.

Re: Leave your apologies for Mark Fine - to be printed
don't think i've ever heard them - unless abc or 8ha streams their calls on the radio?
but may tune in via my radio app now - just to see what the fuss is about - so well done Finey!

When do i judge people? i might disagree with their opinions but that isnt judge people. i will judge you now though. You never read what is written, you just think something is written. I will also judge you that you seem to know a bit about the announcers for someone who has it on as background noise.

Re: Leave your apologies for Mark Fine - to be printed
Well I listen when it's on but only really take notice when it's something I'm interested in. I have no interest in golf or athletics etc. but if it's Saints or AFL I obviously take notice. KB and Harford are both respectful announcers with a good rapport with people ringing in. Finey is an idiot who abuses his audience as a shock jock tactic to win ratings.plugger66 wrote:gringo wrote:plugger66 wrote:

You judge people on their jobs I remember you calling a poster a cleaner often like it was a badge of shame, you question peoples inside information etc, you always say that you think posters have no footy knowledge....should I go on?

Go on all you like. I couldnt give a rats. My mums dads brother thinks SEN is a good station. By the way im pretty sure you judge people as well. Well my best mates dad thinks so anyway.
