Ben Ikin Tribute Thread

[madunit]

Here's a thread to post your favourite Ben Ikin f**k ups and moments of stupidity.

In the Titans game in Round 1 he said
"His lights opened up like dinner plates"

In the Round 3 game on Friday night when talking about the football he said
"He kicked the backside off it"

Feel free to abuse the living sh*t out of Ikin here too if you want.

"Watch this kid go!!"

Shut the f**k up!!!

"His lights opened up like dinner plates"

One of my favourites. He tries, Benny, but that's about it. The only bloke that is a chance of keeping him off the bottom of commentary pile is big Gordie.

How about his comment before round 3 match between Cowboys & Broncos,
"this is 2 of the best teams in QLD playing"

Not hard there is only 3 teams

 

[mepelthwack]

Any time he or anyone else for that matter talks up the 'local derby' between Broncos and Cowboys, despite the fact EVERY Sydney team is closer to Brisbane than the Cows.

Give the guy a break, I think he has improved a hell of a lot, I can actually stand him now. Glad someone tapped him on the shoulder and told him to give the 'believe you me' thing a rest.

I'd rather to listen to a crusty sh*t commentate than Tallis.

He is embarrassing.

 

[adamkungl]

I know he was sick but f**k me dead Tallis makes Ben Ikin seem world class

 

[Estoboy]

He has been known to drop the old "Its a game of two halves"

and didn't he say something along the lines of "the team that plays the stronger game will take home two points"

 

[S.R.]

Tallis is funny.
I love listening to him!

Even better is his nervous twitch / head wobble that he has going on every time he's on camera!!

 

[OuTkAsT]

Believe you me i can't stand Ikin, but he would have to be on par with joey.. he is woeful!

 

[adamkungl]

ooooh yeah. joey doesn't know what to do in front of the camera

 

[bjm8]

Tallis was on fire last night, came up with some crackey one liners, something along the lines of "muuuurr thurrssston aatrurrr faaar turre burr"

How about last year - Ikin's pick for Queensland winger? Shannon Hegarty!!! The other Sunday Footy Show panelists just looked at him in disbelief. And I think someone asked him if he was serious.

 

[BeeeeeRad]

Believe you me i can't stand Ikin, but he would have to be on par with joey.. he is woeful!

agreed completely his comments from the sideline in the parra vs newcastle game wer shocking and completely stating the obvious. On the sunday footy show he seems so awquad when asking questions, i think he seemed so much more relaxed when being interviewed rather than the other way around.
