2008 Footy Show Chat Thread

[Brutus]

Its Back tonight with fatty, Laurie Daley, Cheif, Matty and Andrew Johns and also the Return of Sterlo

will be interesting to see if it is going to be the same old crap or whether they actually talk some league :lol:

Looking at the juvenile promos for the show i'd say we are in for the worst of the worst.

It's tragic that as a hardcore rugby league fan I will probably only be able to stomach about 15 mins of the show before turning it off. Many rugby league fans want to watch, but they just can't anymore. No wonder the ratings have been sh*te for about 4 years.

ithe footy show were going to try and LIGHTEN IT UP and add more comedy as they thought it had been TOO SERIOUS the past few years. .

The reason it doesn't rate anymore is because the comedy is NOT FUNNY. Until they work this one out things will continue to sink to the point of the show being axed.

 

[Brutus]

The last couple of years the show has smacked with effort to try and be comedic, in the old days they talked footy and the funny moments just happened and were natural....i would like the return of that!

That's when it was perfect.

 

[Caged Panther]

you'll get more sense out of the competing episode of lost than you will out of these morons.

 

[mattyg]

better than nothing

dont particularly like anyone on the panel and think they could have a few better people on it, but i'd rather it on than nothing at all. Anyone know if that SBW interview is on tonight?

 

[Blaze]

Great, i love these threads

People will "never watch again" and then give a blow by blow account of the show each week :lol:

yep, it's pathetic.

I still enjoy the show tbh

Took your time

I can't believe they bought back THATS GOLD. If there was a segment that surely had to be axed from this years show - it had to be it.

 

[McCrud]

This all sounds encouraging...

 

[Glenn]

All in the name of "comedy", still waiting for some league talk.

 

[lotti]

they might have more league talk next week.

 

[El Diablo]

they couldn't have less

 

[wittyfan]

Painful to watch so far.

 

[Karmawave]

:lol:

I was optimistic, but so far its 2007 reincarnated, except with the addition of Laurie Daley. That takes the former international footballer with nosediving credibility count from 3 to 4.

 

[Glenn]

Painful to watch so far.

It is like watching a train wreck, you know you shouldn't be watching but you can't help yourself.

 

[Karmawave]

Plus Justin Hodges looked disturbingly comfortable with another bloke sitting in his lap. :lol:

 

[lotti]

so it's absolutly not worth watching I should watch the replays on Fox Sports 2 instead?

 

[Glenn]

Hallelujah finally something football related with the player profile with Gus.

 

[El Diablo]

only took 35 minutes
