The Footy Show 2015

[undertaker]

the questions asked of the family were cringe-worthy. It doesn't take a genius to work out that the family were upset when they found out what happened, so why did Molan have to keep asking them how upset they are? Instead of being a tribute to him, the whole segment was shallow and empty and far too focused on getting tears out of his family members. If they want to try a serious story, get a serious journalist to do it.

Sgt., you've delivered the goods yet again. If only you could tell us a bt more of that story about your friend from the Central Coast:lol: (before it was taken down from this forum)

In all seriousness though, I was just about to mention the interview when I woke up this morning, only to find that you'd already gone through the effort to write it. Anyone applauding Molan's journalistic skills doing these stories needs to get their head checked. Amateur-hour journalism to the nth degree. Also, showed a complete lack of sensitivity with those questions when it could be visibly seen that the parents were already devastated. Hats off to the parents though: not just for putting up with Molan's crap, but that they were strong enough to speak about their son so soon after his death.

Agreed.

There was another question towards the end of it, something like "Will you continue to mourn him/pay tribute to him" or something similar... WTF is that? What's the widow going to say one week after she loses her husband to that sort of inane question? "Ohhh, maybe for a few weeks, but after the grand final this year I reckon we can probably move on to be honest Erin..."

Ch9 love doing all these tear-jerkers because they know it will rate and get ppl's attention. There will be another one on 60 minutes soon with Alex McKinnon; the difference being that that story will be done by a proper journalist, and not some.....from Canberra masquerading as well. Slothfield would be proud of her journalistic efforts.

I really don't know how she continues to get the plumb gig there on the Footy Show... I reckon if I had to pick a song that best described her rise up the hosting ladder at channel 9, it'd be a certain song by Regurgitator... y'all know the one I mean.....

Erin's rise up the ranks on TFS and Ch9's sports department has definitely raised a few eyebrows. Two years ago, she only appeared on the panel doing the occasional segment, then last year she was promoted to permanent panellist alongside Big Marn, and then this year replaced Slats as co-host. That's a somewhat meteoric rise in the ranks in the space of two years, and that's leave several questions to be asked.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: if Ch9 wanted a female on the panel, they chose the wrong person. Yvonne had the runs on the board and should've got the gig. The interviews she did with Will/John Hopoate and the Fijian RL players like Semi Radradra were far better than anything Molan has done.

"Fux Sports! Fux Sports!".....

So hilarious.... :roll:

That was my cue to switch the telly off and head to bed....

TFS seem to love the Whakatane gags as it allows them to say f**k in a more palatable context and without censorship (since that's the first syllable of the Maori pronunciation of the word). Even Fatty loved mentioning it several times last night. Actually, the "f**k" gag was done about 25 years ago on Fast Forward when Steve Vizard and Peter Moon promoted the Fakari rug as Roger Ramsheet

However, Beau going the step further last night with "f**ks sports" was clearly done to try and get a cheap laugh. It will be interesting to see how he can incorporate f**k into his next Bunji gag. If Bunji ever converted to Islam, I could see Beau using faqir a lot in his gags.

I honestly think Erin Molan's entire journalistic training involved watching episodes of Frontline without ever realising it was a satire.

The more I think about those Frontline episodes I had to study for the HSC years ago, you could be onto something there:lol:

Not that I watch this peice of shitehusen crap unfunny non-league show anymore but why would a serious journo go on the show (Yvonne was on there a few times a year or two ago and you could actually see the disdain on her face with some of the unfunny crap that was passed off as entertaining).

Time for this shite to disappear for good.

"Everything Erin ever learned about journalism....was from watching me!"

 

[Tigers1986]

I cannot stand Molan. She's gone from a part-time presenter to being the co-host (who cracks the shits when she cops look-a-likes but loves rubbing them in to Big Marn and Fatty). She has no journalistic credibility and has limited rugby league knowledge. She's not even that attractive if they want to tow that line. I'm not sure what is seen with her. [hopefully this isn't against the rules now]

Yvonne Sampson has the journalistic skill, the rugby league knowledge, and the attractiveness to fill the female dynamic that the network is looking for (hence her hosting the live footy pre-shows, sunday footy show, wwos etc.) but if I were her I wouldn't want to be part of the abysmal Footy Show which rarely talks footy. She'd be better off swapping to Fox Sports and joining Sterlo's show, Matty's or 360.

The Footy Show used to be great but now it's just trying to push boundaries with sappy stories, overused gags (Beau Ryan is NOT funny anymore) and stupid failed entertainment. I loathe Ikin and Kent but watch them because they discuss footy. Sterlo discusses footy. Matty's lot mix humour with footy and it works. Footy Show is just...bad.

Not a Molan fan at all, but jeez I don't get the Yvonne Sampson love either?

Yeh sure she is a better sort than Molan, but she has that typical stereotypical annoying deep boring journo voice and appears to have the personality of a ironing board.

Sampson = Liz Hayes wannabe

 

[Craig Johnston]

There's so much serious nrl content these days why do any of you lot even care? Thursday night I set my iq box to download 360 matty johns ultimate fighter uf fight week (best of the lot speaking of chicks hosting shows ) and tfs and when I get to tfs I fast forward pass all the shit big marn kick for cash etc, leaving about 20 mins of decent content uncomplained

You shut your damn mouth, you're talking about the woman I love.

Speaking of Erin Molan she was the host of the Sunday Footy Show today. Peter Sterling was sick, and so Molan took over the hosting duties.

I think she handled it pretty well. She definitely does not have the same knowledge Sterlo has about the game, but then again not many others do. She also did alot more palming off to Brad Fittler, Andrew Johns, and Darren Lockyer to fill in some the analysis that Sterling would have done.

I still think Tim Gilbert would be the ideal replacement if Sterling ever left Channel Nine. Fortunately that won't be happening anytime soon.

 

[Sleep]

The most entertaining thing about Erin last night was watching her squirm at Konrad persistently creeping on her with Beau and Manu's encouragement :lol:

I just saw it. Hilarious.

 

[Last Week]

I just saw it. Hilarious.

I felt uncomfortable for Erin. It was just awkward and childish.

Are you serious? Or have you gone full Jacquie Lambie?? Gilbert is a horrendous host. Its all about me me me with him. His sunday roast days were inspid

Here here!! Gilbert is worse than her. I had to tune out of the Sunday Footy Show when he hosted those "Sunday Roast" segments. Am glad he is not on the show this year.

For Molan - she doesn't fit in on the Thursday Footy Show. She doesn't have the right personality for it. She just doesn't fit in. She is more suited on the Sunday Show as the reporter, ahd shows the serious side of hers, which comes out more natural. But get here away from the Pass the Ball segment, as she doesn't know how to pass the ball back to the player. lol

Nope. There is isn't anybody else who could fill the void-

Paul Vautin (isn't strong enough on football analysis)

Erin Molan ( same as Vautin)

Andrew Voss (Ha! After his fall out with channel nine that's never going to happen. It's a shame because I like Voss)

Ray Hadley (Now way!!! He also wouldn't be able to help himself, bringing his Labor bashing into the show)

Andrew Johns, Darren Lockyer, and Brad Fittler (are more panelists then hosts, although I would choose Fittler if I had to choose one )

Sorry but that leaves Gilbert, unless you can up with a suggestion you should put up or shut up!!!!
