Aint that the truth! or how about ......we have to kick the ball in the corner and turn the big winger around....... it surely has to be a try for us......we have to score before half time...... and the classic i hope they will say at the end of the game sat, ....i think we've well and truly lost this one Eddie. :lol:
Im gonna tell you little boys a story...
Well im an oldish guy (DAMN!) so i remember the 70's and 80's very well......what all you Aussie pups wont know is that our commentators (for what little and shocking sporting coverage we got) were not just unbiased...they would have seen it as bad manners and apologised if any passion or mildly bias statements were uttered...
...during that same time on the other side of the world the standard Aus commentary and newspaper report usually contained the words "c'mon Aussie c'mon". The joke here was how bias you lot were, but even that went greatly unsaid because it just wasnt British to mention it.
So now we get Eddie and Stevo...hmmm..how fortunes change. Well I agree that Stevo is a twot...a comedy figure, so incoherent are his rantings (does he ever get a video ref call correct first time???)...Eddie I dont mind personally, but I can see your point. But I LOVE their bias...they learnt it from Aussies and there as sick to death of losing as the rest of us.
In the Ashes 2005 our commentators finally displayed some mild bias...and well you know the rest...do you think Aussie commentators who arent used to losing are gonna be unbiased if this Ashes series goes to the wire? think again....and if you guys lose again
...you'll see the 70's and 80's ranting come back...
....years of losing does something to you...I hope you guys find that out before your old and your Shelia needs ironing....
