Offsiders

[Dodgy]

I had a post types, criticising not mentioning the Grand Prix. Ready to press Post Reply the moment the music would play to close the show. When the horse racing fan mentioned it right at the end! Lol

Watched and listened to day to the unbridled joy thrown toward the AFL by the Offsider's panel and moderator.

As a humble but extremely concerned taxpayer who helps keep these gimps in work,I thought it my duty to report to "youse" all, the enlightening content of the ABC's version of Fumbles for Fwits.
6 minutes devoted to the women's grand final.Nice work.Last year of course zero minutes devoted to the NRL grand final result.
5 minutes on fumble ball and a guy named Dyson(I'm not a vacuum cleaner) Hepinstall,and how wonderful Essingbong was, and the Loins(under anew admin) beating the Suns .
Absolutely zero mention of the Gillard report into the drug cover ups at the West Coast Eagles.

When it came to the NRL you guessed it Einsteins 2 minutes of the usual negativity ,this time devoted wait for it the possibly sacking of Desdemona Hasler and the flicking of Taylor.Much tut tutting.No results or content of NRL games this weekend.

I trust now kiddies, bikies,commoners,plebs,mere males and females, we can confirm the ABC likes the NRL as much as I like a Hamburger ,garnished with someone's human hair enclosed.

Could always move it to Sydney or Brisbane and stack the panel with Leaguies.

Imagine 20 minutes of only positive league stories or conversely I'd be happy if the entire 30 mins were devoted to ripping the AFL a new one highlighting the long, long list of carpet swept atrocities. theyd have enough material to make an hour long show.

Nah, wouldn't happen

It wouldn't happen because the majority of RL Journalists don't like or have a decent knowledge of the game. It'd be Telecrap journos bagging RL more than Paedo Whatley and his merry gang of cocksnaps already do.

Not one mention of west coast coverup? Wow.

Someone made a petition.

Stop the AFL bias on ABC Offsiders!

Abolish the blatant & inherent AFL bias from the publicly funded Victorian production of ABC's 'Offsiders' and uphold the ABC's charter of impartiality.

The Australian taxpayers, specifically those in NSW & QLD, should not be funding the explicit cheerleading of AFL and the ignorant demonising of other codes of football. We deserve "our ABC" to reflect & defend the values of our communities, including our sporting preferences, and not just those of Victorians.

The weekly 'expert panel' should at least be comprised of two expert print journalists based in NSW & QLD, who are not ignorant to these communities and who have an intimate understanding of local issues beyond the regurgitation of back page headlines.

Give sports fans in half the country a real voice, after all, it's "our ABC" too!

Well they should have plenty to talk about this week with Brownlow Medal winner and premiership winner Ben Cousins sentenced to a year in jail today.

Essendon gatto allegations, ignored. West Coast drug cover up, ignored. Cousins, ...?

i'm sure they'd find some way of linking it to Rugby League

"We see in the NRL too with Tim Simona making shocking allegations about the drug culture at the Wests Tigers..."

They can't have a scandal that isn't linked in some fashion to the NRL as an attempt to minimise their own.

Looks to have stalled at 50 sigs

 

[Incorrect]

Looks to have stalled at 50 sigs

I can hear the smug barbs from Whately now.... "only 50 signatures... Still, that's only marginally behind the average NRL crowd number these days..."

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

huffington post?

hahaha.

 

[axe&smash&crush]

Did you hear this guy, one in seven nrl memberships are free, should these members have a say? Then has a chuckle

Do you pay to get into a match mate?

 

[insert.pause]

Started show with league and spent ten minutes on, primarily all positive, can't remember that happening before. Maybe it's a coincidence that it happened in same week 60 people signed petition against its biased production, or perhaps they have been shamed into it?

Now they can point to this episode as a evidence of their impartiality, I'm sure normal programming will resume next week.
