Julian Abbott - Shut the f**k up with your union scores!!!

ABC radio's Julian Abbott sure knows how to spoil a rugby league radio call.

Every farkin two minutes the clown is giving AFL or union scores. I don't know how many times we need to be told the Waratahs' score from earlier in the night.

He gives Canberra union, Sydney union, Super 14 scores ad nauseum and has only once mentioned an QLD Cup score.

Go easy on your beloved union Jules - this is a rugby league call.

Not his fault really, its just the nature of the beast being the national broadcaster.
lol @ Morrow going ballistic calling the turner "try" in the final minutes...caried on it was Darren Albert in the 1997 GF.
The try meant nothing, scored or not

Except for those people that went Tigers 1-12 or the other ones that went 13+ in the margins. A nice dividend reaped I suspect for the 13+

I dont think betting enters his head when he calls the game.
He is over dramatic sometimes

However they cease to be the national broadcaster when you go down to Melbourne. You can't get a league score for love nor money on Melbourne ABC radio.

It's over the top and we don't need to hear these scores ad nauseum. Abbott is a union lackey.

Exactly what I was thinking tonight. Are other sports constantly interrupted by scores from nothing games?

Try and get a League score during the world table tennis championship in Shanghai.

It's so bloody annoying especially when he runs through scores from just about every union comp in Australia and can't give an QLD Cup score until right at the end of the broadcast. The AFL scores sh*t me too. Give the bloody things at half-time or once they're completed, but don't interrupt the league game with progress scores of Hawthorn v Fremantle every 5 mins.

In Melbourne you would not hear rugby league mentioned once throughout an AFL broadcast even if the Storm were playing

yeah, it's conspiracy by the union mob to ruin rugby league, carried out through a mid-level sports staffer at the abc on a saturday night :lol:
