Offsiders

[RL The greatest game]

And they managed to squeeze a minute tribute to Richie benaud at the end.

Forgive me but I would have thought that deserved a more prominent position in the show.o

They are just low class jounos with an agenda to promote the Anglo-Irish game.

So, basically the Essendon decision was never even discussed on Offsiders, because it fell just before their week off? They didn't talk about it at all this last program...astonishing.

 

[aads]

dont watch this show because of AFL bias and NRL bashing whenever they get a chance

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Underwood? Didn't she get a mention in RLWs most influential women in league list before Christmas?

Disgusting.

Yeah I remember seeing that, I nearly fell out of my chair when I first saw that. I mean seriously they must've run out of women in that top 20 list.

 

[cleary89]

I'd never even heard of it until reading about it here. Still never seen it.

Me too. Never heard of the show until I saw this thread.

 

[Mr Angry]

The irony of a VFL mouth piece be called the offsiders

You cannot be offside in VFL.

Fargwits

 

[miguel de cervantes]

To be fair offsiders had a short but decent discussion on the drug saga this morning.

You are very generous Miguel.

On my IQ the AFL discussion ran for 17 minutes with all of the other sports crammed into the remaining 13 minutes including 4 mins on RL, with both the host Golem and the 'RL expert' on the panel Richard Hinds both referring to 'Jack' Granville scoring a hat-trick for the Cows

Any mention of the amount freebies given out for midgets games in Canberra?

 

[El Diablo]

now they are using that deadshit Massoud

his AFL love showed this morning. that is the sport he actually follows and is a mad Essendope fan

 

[insert.pause]

Continuing the strong tradition of sycophantic rugby league journos appearing on Victorian shows.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Whately threw him a lovely lolly and Massoud smashed it out of the park with the comment about the Bulldogs yahoos compared to the solemnly awesome ozzie rules crowd.

The production room erupted with cheers.

 

[insert.pause]

no mention of the AFL coach who tried to throttle a fan, if it was a league coach they would have led with 'the grand occasion of ANZAC Day was marred by ugly scenes of brutal thuggery..."

 

[insert.pause]

not even a passing mention of the Pacific Tests, it's absence was so obvious it was surely deliberate.

Josh Massoud on there this morning bagging Rugby League and defending racist AFL fans and media

this bloke is not a RL fan. goes to AFL games and watches them on TV tweeting about it

 

[El Diablo]

good to see him copping it for his remarks https://twitter.com/search?q=@josh_massoud &src=typd&vertical=default&f=tweets

 

[insert.pause]

Just another sycophant trying to get invited back to a Victorian show.

Massoud is a joke.

I imagine the conversation in the Offsiders production room went something like this....

Producer "Fellas we need a person with a rugby league association to be on the show to attempt to cloak our obvious dislike of the game, but he cant be a champion for the game, cant even be a fan of the game, we need him to actually bag the game at every opportunity....any ideas?"

Underling 1 "Does such a treacherous individual actually exist?"

Underling 2 "Do you mind if he is a self promoting News Ltd hack who will do anything to raise his profile"

Producer "Not a problem"

Underling 2 "He may not make make any sense most of the time, constantly contradict himself and go over the top bagging RL so much that even Waleed Aly will have to step in to defend the game"

Producer " He sounds perfect"

Underling 2 "Josh Massoud"

 

[El Diablo]

it was actually quiet funny to see the AFL panel members disagree with Massoud and his bagging of Rugby League
