I really miss Vossy

[carlosthedwarf]

I nearly turned it off in disgust as well. Ended up just muting it.

 

[El Diablo]

I just turned off the game with that merkin Gilbert drossing all over Brisbane v Souths

How is he calling games?? I dont get it - Desperation

you don't have a mute button?

 

[roofromoz]

But surely he's still a better option that Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay... as tedious that sounds.

 

[eozsmiles]

MG is such a f**king moron. I wish I had a special button on my remote to cut out everything he says. Anything that comes out of his mouth is just painful. He's an absolute moron. I realize that morons are the majority of our fan base, but surely we could could get a better moron than him.

Classic style over substance. Apparently he appeals to the fan base (I'm not certain how many?) so the bosses don't give a toss what he says. I don't hear/see him on TV or radio but I follow him on twitter. He's quick to jump on a bandwagon or to a conclusion.

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Agreed bring Andrew Voss back and give Hadley the boot.

 

[Mr Twig]

Funny how before Hadley came along, most people used to hate Vossy and wanted him sacked from Ch9.

 

[Green River Eel]

Voss is an arrogant wanker, nfi about RL, never had the balls to play either rugby code, hated in the industry, will argue with the likes of Andrew Johns about the finer points of the game and laugh at him if he doesnt agree, the blokes a tool, there is a reason why he is so disliked by the guys that have worked with him, the less of Voss i have to see the better.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Not a major Voss fan but he is much better to listen to than Hadley.

 

[insert.pause]

I bet there is a correlation between ratings decline and when they got rid of vossy.

They had a real good thing to with the sunday roast, it use to regularly rate around 170k, I doubt they touch that now in its current pathetic format.

nfi about RL

Mate if you've ever listened to him call a game he does his research, on the other hand you've got Rabs talking about horses or some shit all while getting everyone's name wrong.

 

[carlosthedwarf]

I can't think of anyone calling league who does more research and knows more about the game than Voss. If you include journos Mascord would be in the conversation.

But to claim Vossy doesn't know anything and has no passion for it is ridiculous.

 

[shire1976]

You can always hear Vossy on 2UE doing Sports Today on Mondays

Yes.

And he's also funny.

Is he back at 2UE? I didn't know that (thought he was only calling Warriors' matches in NZ). Is Fatty still on during the weekends with John Gibbs?

 

[Sydney Knight]

Used to think vossy was a dick but the passion he showed for the recent RLWC really brought me around. Need more journos like vossy, mascord and Melinda Farrell who genuinely love the game.

 

[ram raid]

Vossy must have a weird relationship with his brother. I've head him say numerous times that AFL is a horrible and ugly sport.

Agreed.

I remember him and the pommy bloke calling the matches at the World Cup and everytime it was an American scoring or a Scotsman scoring theyd give you more info on the player and say something like. "Great try and theres no doubt they'll be cheering back home in Boston". I thought overall the commentary during the World Cup was great.

As for Mascord, he's just about the only jurno who's really passionate about our International game. He was only saying the other day, that he cant wait for soak up the atmosphere at Penrith for the Fiji/Samoa game and mentioned he's been to places like Beruit, Hawaii, Philippines, Disneyland, just for Rugby League games.

I wonder if 9 will take Sky NZ's feed for the Bulldogs/Warriors game and gave Vossy commentate?

 

[oikee]

It is those two maggots Gidgel and Eddie who conspire to bring rugby league down.

Everyone knows Voss is the best in Australia, if not the World after the favourable reports we had from everyone at the world Cup in England.

He is too good, and the afl loving channel nine dont want our code to thrive in a market where we thrive.
TV

So they sacked Vossy so league would take another TV deal to stagnate and allow AFL to further corrupt the female viewers of Australia.

???? Yes it is a weird theory, but i believe every word.
Vossy Rocks.

Probably not.

Ch 9 did a Warriors game last year in New Zealand. Neither Rabs or Hadley made the trip so they got Mat Thompson to call the game.
