Ben Ikin walks from Channel Nine over ACA story

[Sam I Am]

While the principle of why he walked out shows how f**ked Nine is, I'm more than happy that I won't be hearing his mindless rubbish tonight.

Right on both counts.

 

[The Tank]

Why isn't their headline "Channel 9 disgrace" considering he's employed by Channel 9 and not the ARL or NRL.

 

[melon....]

Seriously, just saw an ad for a current affair tomorrow and the leading story was "state of origin scandal", some bullsh*t about ben ikins family business being dodgy or something.

obviously it's a nothing story, and has nothing to do with league, but that is their lead in to the state of origin coverage. what the hell are they thinking???????????

Who gives a sh*t Cant stand ikin and his Wankos bias. Worst commentator ever.

 

[Lambretta]

It's the television equivalent of Channel 9 singing "we're sh*t, and we know we are"

 

[Ladmate]

Ikin might join Fox Sports..no proof but if he loves commentating.

 

[gong_eagle]

will this see the return of the fatman vautin ?

 

[squiddy]

but if I was Benny Ikin I would be more thna alittle pisse doff that my boss was taking public shots at me , only minutes before I went on air to do my job - FMD

Well there ya go ! Didnt think he would be too happy about it

 

[Matt23]

will this see the return of the fatman vautin ?

Either him or Wally Lewis

 

[[FKN-SIK]]

Thank god.

Can't stand his constant QLD dribble and rim-licking.

Looking even more forward to tonight's game

 

[El Diablo]

Either him or Wally Lewis

Wally was going to be there anyway

 

[Blind Freddy]

Either him or Wally Lewis

I recall there recently being talks of fatty returning to the commentary box. This would make the odds even more likely.

team him up with gary freeman

 

[abpanther]

You mean I don't get to hear this stuff repeated over and over again:

"Watch this kid go...."

"The Folau's, Slater's, Inglis'..."

It's disappointing isn't it :lol:

 

[Ribs]

Ikin's dad was the removalist my parents used on the gold coast a few years back. They werent very good.

But seriously, who cares?

ACA viewers are Telegraph readers, they swallow the same sh*t with enthusiasm.

 

[big country]

I am in the process of reading the Bible, just so that I have a base for my arguments as to why it is a crock of sh*t. Not so much the stories, but the whole belief that if you pray every day you will get a motorbike (As one idiot has told me he gives the church 10 % of his pay every week and if he prays hard enough , he will get a motorbike from god).

Needless to say I laughed my arse off, and told him to stop being such a fanny.

In summary, researching the thing you want to bag out is not a bad idea.

I guarantee you will get that Harley in the afterlife if you pray real hard, from St Peter;-)

 

[Perth Red]

Can't believe Ch9 would run the sleaze on one of their own employees! Talk about looking for any angle to stiff the sport.

You mean they wrote about motorbikes in the bible?

 

[Twizzle]

gee ch 9 are making alot of friends atm

I wonder of the story would have been news worthy if it wasn't Ben Ikins dad

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

You dont have to watch it all the time to know its rubbish you f**king moron. The whole point of the show is to sensationalise stories to appeal to people who dont know better. This can be gathered by watching one episode.

Now f**k off

So, how do you know that is ALWAYS biased if you don't ALWAYS watch it?

merkin merkin merkin merkin merkin MERKIN

 

[Cloud9]

Those merkins at channel nein will do anything for ratings, including boning their employees. They achieved huge ratings when Grimshaw interview Johns and they are trying to repeat it with another gratuitous expozay.
