McAvaney gives goal review system massive bake

Post: # 1456879Post saintspremiers »

He will be fired for being anti AFL on channel 7.

But he's right.

It's a joke.

The only joke is Bruce. Cringe worthy.

A few weeks back in reference to Rioli drilling a pass (can here heavy breathing in mic): "he slides it right down his throat."

Tonight in reference to Goldsack: "he's like a dog on heat."

Not sure if srs.
He should be arrested. Or at the very least, hosed down.

What side of the fence does Bruce sit on?

hey big men (and I use that with discretion)

what has his sexuality got with anything about his calling?

Hey TSR, I make no reference to his sexuality.

As far as I know he's happily married with kids.

I do make fun of his commentary style, as others make fun of BT and many other callers over the history of TV broadcasts.

Pathetic little flog who has to go but won't is absolutely embarrassing at times

Love to shove him and that fence sitter Harley out along with "Hamish" (what a wanna be tossed he is) but as we all know it's a club and fans opinions don't really matter

The thread was about him criticising the goal review system, especially for 'touched off the boot' reviews.

Totally agree with him.

...Bruce is a legend of a caller "BUT WE KNOW THAT, DONT WE".

Agree. But I like the direction the thread went in. This is what I like about SS and must be preserved. BF is for the serious stuff.

I know, and that is why you are on (generally) my ignore list. If you really want to know, Bruce McAvaney's first marriage, to Merry, lasted from 1983 to 1991.He met his second wife Anne Johnson, a television journalist and producer, in 1993 while making the show Seasons.With her, he has two children, Sam and Alexandra.He moved his family from Melbourne back to his home town of Adelaide in 1999.

But it's all irrelevant to his views on the review system, which I don't fully agree with. We were the victim of a howler in the 2009 GF, although it seems, that of the people on the field, only Tom Hawkins knew it. My view is that we need four goal umps. Most errors (and there are very few) would be eliminated. Cost should not be an issue these days.
