Ettingshausen 'mellordrama' on ACA

ACA..lol..

Who in their right mind watches that shit??..

Approximately 1 million Australians across the 5 metros. At it's peak (during the Ray Martin 1994-98 era), I believe it was nearly 3 million IIRC. Funny how John Safran brought about Ray's downfall with that prank, and subsequently, the ratings started to decline after he left.

That Ch9 for you.

You remember that so-called "State of Origin scandal" involving Ben Ikin's father 3 yrs ago?:lol: (not so long after the Matty Johns scandal) It had absolutely nothing to do with Ben Ikin but 9 are masters at what they do and they knew that miscontruing a story and sensationalising it = more ratings.

Now, I am not a fan of Ikin and was happy to no longer hear him commentate on 9, but was sad to see him leave in those circumstances though. What Ch9 did to him, just hours before he was supposed to commentate an Origin match, was scumbaggish to the nth degree and epitomises everything that is vile with Ch9.

The Ikin thing was deplorable. Giving it the title of "State of Origin Scandal" was so f**king misleading.

They virtually buried one of their own employees just for the sake of a putting 'rugby league' next to 'scandal' again.

What a grub but seriously who gives a shit guess Paul needs some financial help

If it supposedly DID happen "years" ago..........Paul Mellor is a scummy merkin for going to air with it now.

Worse than the original infraction i.e; ET rooting his wife

Mellor should have snotted him one and pissed the mole off.

Called it even.

Not this.......this is bitchy and money grubbing.

Conflict of interest if Paul Mellor is EVER given an officiating role as video ref or touch judge in a Sharks game.
Maybe he should be stood down while this "scandal" is in the media? Maybe by agreeing to an interview he is bringing the game into disrepute?
Is Mrs Mellor going to be made out as a whore for sleeping with another man whilst she was married?


Aside from the individuals involved, who gives a shit? This is a private matter.


And honestly, ACA seem to have been hanging out to bag Rugby League for a while now. Tracy Grimshaw will go to town on the whole code. She's a MOLE.

Umm, how are blokes made out to be if they are married and sleeping around..??

M Johns, Tiger..

According to the experts (that's the general public) she should lose her job and be pilloried from post to post..If we are consistent of course..

Not gunna happen though..

Who gives a shit.

I appreciate the sentiment. This is a personal, private issue made public for the sake of earning advertising dollars from the broadcast of the "entertainment" show, ACA, to a million viewers.

Channel nine, particularly the ACA crew, the advertisers who place their products among such dubious media, and the million or so people who will watch this so called "current affairs" article should all be ashamed of themselves.

But I give a shit, and many others who work with family members of the Mellors or Ettingshausens also will, because we will have to try that bit harder to protect all the poor innocent parties who will now be the target of ridicule and abuse (mostly from children who are probably shown by their parents who are involved with making, advertising in or watching ACA that it is OK to bring personal business into the public sphere) from the unnecessary airing of this type of article on this show. Just to be clear- I don't really mind having to work harder, I mind that the potential for increased abuse exists, and even if I and others do work harder, innocent parties will still probably be hurt just to make money for ammoral media tycoons.

I think I can explain it, he thought he smelt a Spanish Mackerel and then went in for a closer look and tried to gut it but didn't have his trusty Shimano fishing knife. Unfortunate incident explained.

What's the bet Matt Johns gets mentioned in the story.
They'll find some way of linking two totally unrelated incidents because they both played for the Sharks.

If their play on the field reflects their work in the sack it makes perfect sense.

Mellor was never much of a finisher, more a catch and fall over guy, probably why Mrs Mellor went to ET, one of the best finishers the game has ever seen

I dunno, Mellor had Quinn coming back for more that day at Shark Park.
