The Footy Show 2012

[seanoff]

watching this train wreck for the first time this year.

Vautin gives the distinct impression that he is not really enjoying the current format of the show. not quite sure what it is but he doesn't seem to be fully invested in the show.

can't say i blame him. it's very flat. slater sucks as a host.

 

[chigurh]

First time I have watched TFS in over a year.

Good to see Steve Ricketts on - one of the most passionate and knowledgeable Rugby League people you will ever come across. If only there were more Ricketts and less Rothfields...

However, unsuprisingly big mouth Hadley hardly let him get a word in.

And why is it that, in a show that meanders on for 90+ minutes worth of downright rot, does that segment occupy just five minutes?

 

[Canard]

Surely the could condense it to 60mins and chop out some of the chaff and save a lot of budget.

Im amazed that this hasn't happened, Nine must actively want the show to go longer because of lack of other programs?

In this day and age most people have an attention span that is so short that they forget the programme there watching when the flick over for the ads and 90mins is a marathon for television shows these days.

 

[Mr Pmatta]

Beau is a f**ken moron, his Benji impersonation is cringe worthy, mocking the kiwi accent, seriously no educated person should find him funny. Oh and I hope Matai belts him next time they play

Also pretty low putting that package together of Burgess injuries, he def is prize tool.

He'd appeal to alot of people who are into toilet humour and laugh at people who are just plain idiots but anyone with an IQ above 70 would cringe most of the time

 

[kmav23]

they need to learn from the AFL show...

That was below the belt I thought

I bet if Sam Burgess had the opportunity to search through videos (or have someone else do it), he could have shown the multiple "highlights" of Beau Ryan watching a bomb bounce multiple times instead of catching it.

All I could think of is "wow, this is cringe worthy".

Steve Ricketts must be Barry O'Farrell's long lost brother. :lol:

And yeah, a bit pointless inviting someone to be on a show and not let them speak. One of my pet hates. That segment needs to be 10 minutes, not 5. You cannot get any deep analysis or discussion with 5 panellists + Brohman in the corner in 5 minutes (on average, that's less than one minute for every person, of which Hadley takes up a lot of the quota)

Whilst it was bad, you cant blame him entirely....he does not produce the show. He just follows what he is told

The main underlying problem for TFS is that it started off as a Footy Show with comedy interspersed in the middle of segments. Now, it's become a comedy-centred program with bits of footy sprinkled in the middle. Every pannelist (bar Slats) is just in the show for themselves (and not for the good of promoting RL) and they're interested in launching/maintaining their abysmal comedy careers. "Beau Knows..."? More like Beau blows!

I watched the start last night & the big maan doin the "stuff u may have missed" segment.

They had footage of the knights dressing room & tinkler was in there. Tinkler went over to bennet & said something to him & put out his hand to shake Bennet. Bennet sort of ignored him & tinkler had to grab his hand to shake it.

That body language from Bennet tells me things are frosty already. Funny.

I'm not sure about that. . Bennett was fuming over something - pointing and looking at something towards his left when Tinkler came over. He was angry and Tinkler looked like he asked him what was wrong and he gestured to the right again. That's my take on the scene.

 

[Card Shark]

Ok, I'll take your word for it.

That was the 2nd time I've seen it & whilst Bennett was gesturing at something else, I thought it was strange body language.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Don't take my word for it, that was just my interpretation. Bennett did look pissed off at something.

you should be a journalist for the Telegraph

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Last week on "things you may have missed" was Gillet being smashed making a tackle - I think everyone saw that :lol:

 

[ME SO HORNBY!]

Didn't start till 10:10 in Wollongong.

Yeah thought so.

When did they start doing comedy????

Maybe it was nothing but it's only a matter of time before they butt heads if losses continue.

Tinkler has shown his hand.
