Commentary

[Beavers Headgear]

Does anyone know if we get the Ch 9 version today or the usual 3 blind mice cliche crap as usual ?

 

[Scott]

Just Costo, Stray Dog and Wopo i'd say.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Bugger it

Was hoping for Voss, Gould and co

 

[Scorpio30]

It was Voss, Gould and unfortunately Ikin...and FTR Gould is a Ropati fan

 

[Martli]

FTR Gould is a Ropati fan

I don't know why I find that funny, but I do...

 

[Fast Eddie]

What did they have to say about the Warriors?

 

[Dr Crane]

I wanted Ikin to come over to the Eastern side so i could tell him to STFU



And here i was thinking Gus was a good football mind. What did they think of the send off?

 

[Scorpio30]

What did they have to say about the Warriors?

They like them and they called they game from a VERY neutral standing point it was very well balanced.

As I said above they called the game from sitting on the fence and that pretty much was what they did with the send off but they leaned towards unlucky....and were thinking that it was more Witts shoulder anyhow.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Shame we missed out on a decent call then

Next time i want to hear about "fish and chip paper" would be in a report about it being shoved down Costigans throat

 

[Micistm]

Lol, was watching some old games, and I don't have one where Costigan doesn't say that somewhere!...it's kinda like listening to a commentry track from a video game...he has his preset script and sticks to it

Yeah, I've enjoyed listening to those guys when I remember to tune in for Bartercard, and before I got sky on was watching the delayed Kiwi tests on Te MTV too...the sky guys could learn a thing from 'em. I've often got fed up and listened to radio sport with the sound turned down on the TV for Warriors games. Can be a bit out of synch but does the job. Costigan is extremely hard to take when we're losing. If we're winning and I'm in a good mood you can tolerate him- Although he's still annoying. You don't think that at first, he just kinda breaks through! Like a fly that keeps landing on your leg, he drives you nuts after a while:crazy:

:lol: best description to date

 

[Micistm]

Noticed he didn't use 'fish n chip' paper today- But he did use his second fave 'get out of my way he said!' a couple of times.

Still listening to him throughout this game: Does costigan actually like the Warriors at all?! Its a fashion thing to put the boot in when they're down, but he seems to really get off on it. Even his sidekicks told him to give credit where it was due on a couple of occasions.

Halligan used it though :lol:

 

[Beavers Headgear]

There is only 1 thing worse than listening to Costigan commentate League

And that is Costigan commentating the Breakers :crazy: Bulids an entire commentary around "from the land of plenty""In with the tall timber""Here at the Breakerdome""Get that outta here"

 

[Fast Eddie]

I don't get why Sky bother to fly Costigan and Halligan over from Australia for every game. What a waste of money.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

He did pull out the 3 minutes till oranges line today.
