Damn you 2GB

[skeepe]

Why why why why why why why did they cover the first 25 minutes of the Raiders vs Roosters game and then cut the coverage to go to the Panthers vs Eels game? I am so pissed off it's not funny. Damn you 2GB. If you call a game, stick with it! @#$@$@!@$%@#$!@$@%!#$^%#!%

i know how u feel mate! i dont have a clue what is going on!

 

[skeepe]

It's strange.. not covering either game properly, just bits and pieces here and there... 60 seconds of Panthers vs Eels followed by 60 seconds of Raiders vs Roosters followed by... and I just don't really understand it. This is where the NRL have really screwed up with the exclusive radio deal. They could have all 3 games being called by different stations today.

 

[Steven Gerrard]

its half time at the panthers game...do they go cover the raiders vs roosters...nah just for 2min and then go to a fkn ad break while they r still playing! :evil:

I find that no matter who does it, the ABC or 2GB it looks very unprofessional and choppy. Its like trying new things because its probably been done overseas (e.g. USA) so it must be good........its not an innovation - frankly its budget and a bad move........either call all the games or give them to someone else who will do them more than 57 minutes justice...........but do you think anyone will get their complaints aired on the airways this evening? Nope.........

It's just so Ray doesn't have to call much anymore. In fact he spends most of his time in a studio these days. I wish he would just concentrate on his weekly duties and leave league to people who actually care for it like he seemed to once upon a time.

or go back to when u could listen to a couple of different games on different stations, I wanted to listen to the parra game and it kept chopping around, and not having the game on live either it was very fruistrating!!

ON Saturday and Sunday he advised listeners that this was going to happen - that was the time to complain - bit late now..

 

[Clarkieel]

yes but complaining wouldnt have made an ounce of difference anyway, was simply saying it would be nice to go back to the older days when you could listen to different games on different stations

As if we would have got our way.......seriously - its as bad an innovation as the Not So Continuous Call team says FOX's 'Sounds of the Game' is.....

Thats true...the feeling i have listening to him is that in fact he couldn't give a crap and likes to do F*ck all when it comes to calling games or covering games anymore.

Yep, it's reasons like this that the EXCLUSIVE RADIO RIGHTS DEAL was another SLAP in the face of the FANS.

Thanks Gallop and friends.

You said it all mate, the NRL doesnt give a shit about the fans ... they only care about their fraudulent salary cap and other illegal things so that Rupert gets his money back. And Radio rights are in the same bracket.

Its funny how you all think that the Salary Cap is designed to make the lesser clubs stronger .... thats a lie, its only there to get Ruperts money back by stopping high wages to the players who deserve it most ... the players who put bums on seats.

So easily led, you are ALL so easily led ... baaaaaaaa

What about that UFO cover up as well! Bloody disgraceful!

Well you guys in Sydney could have listened to the ABC, which covered the Penrith - Parra game in its entirety.

It is unfortunate that the ABC in each capital city doesn't net broadcast, like 2GB does at least.

People all over Australia could tune in on the net to the 666 Canberra broadcast of the Raiders' game, while people could tune into the Sydney version of the ABC to listen to the Sydney game and in Brisbane etc etc.

The ABC radio doesn't seem to have ANY net broadcasts. Why not? It can't be that expensive?

This is the other thing to remember. 2GB DOESN'T have an exclusive deal. The ABC has massive alternative coverage in each league city.

I don't make a habit of listening to them... I just wanted to hear the game and that was the only way I could.

I fail to see how that would have helped my situation. I wanted to hear the Raiders

Besides which, for some reason my AM receiver in my stereo doesn't work. Might have something to do with the fact I stepped on my AM antenna and broke it....

That's only a minor problem.

WHAT ABOUT CALL A GAME ON SATURDAY NIGHT (7.30pm) YOU CLOWNS!!!! :twisted: Hadley and his dicks spend 5 useless f**king hours in the studio then cross to other commentators to call the 5.30pm.

Why not cut out 2 hours of the bullshit Raymond and Singo and extend the coverage into the night.

 

[Enoughsaid]

in sydney when they cover the union on 2bl 702am,i switch over to 97.3fm and i usually pick up the league

 

[0neye]

:?: I don't think Ray has ever played the game :?:: , they where doing the same thing last year too. :-k

Sad how 18 months on this thread is still just as relevant as it was when I posted it.
