The Footy Show thread 2009

[Lockyer4President!]

The current affair style ads, the start of the show wank and the Bond sh*t had me worried but they turned it around when Princey said he enjoyed a few beers and a joint. lol


And wtf is this still not on the HD channel. It's a f**king disgrace that the fumbleball show is on up here instead.

Vossy is the reason why most people tune in to the footy show.

[Eels Dude]

The Munster... not bad Vossy... Reckon Atkins from Parra had to get it though - that was priceless and took the incorrect play the ball to another level.

I'd never seen that before. It looked like he suffered from a mild concussion... thinking it was a penalty and just decided to take a quick tap and ran in the opposite direction haha

 

[effnic]

I turned the tv off when i heard they were bringing in loti, i mean are they f**king serious???

They spent most of his time there putting sh*t on union so it wasn't so bad.

Exactly right L4P but I believe a lot of members will strive to sling mud whenever possible.

To be perfectly honest I was fine with Lote's appearance as he had some history with our game. My only problem with it is that they didn't probe him for any opinions on the current state of OUR game and instead the interview degenerated into a bitter if somewhat mildly funny mudslinging contest. With that said I thought Lote handled himself well.

Mic. Thoughts:

Scott Prince did nothing as a guest panelist. His questionable opinions on Lote Tuqiri and William Zillman only served to question his sexuality. Shame really as he's quite well spoken and if he could get his thoughts together I believe he'd make a nice guest panelist once in awhile. I suppose the problem here is that the usual panelist in Fatty, Matty and Vossy rarely try and acknowledge the person and his individuality. What made last week so entertaining for me was that we got a further insight into Russell Crowe and it allowed the audience to get behind him.

Alfie Langer was very hit and miss tonight. I assume he's a little hard of hearing as he gave some pretty obscure answers to some fairly straight forward questions. However I did enjoy his comments on Gavin Allen.

Just on that segment I found the Karmichael Hunt interview to be very awkward. He didn't appear to be very sure of himself and as a result he seemingly stammered through his answer. If he does leave Brisbane I'd love to see him play for a professional outfit like the Dragons.

Aside from that it was a typical edition with very little to be excited about.

Yeh I thought it was quite funny.

It honestly seemed like the only reason they got him on was to give him curry.

Actually mate it was the other way you could play the ball - if there wasn't a marker directly in front of you, the player could take off and run at the retreating defence as long as he released the ball onto the ground tapped it with his foot and picked it up again.

Was a nice part of the game... but got taken out for some reason - can't recall why off the top of my head - anyone remember exactly why?

 

[fatshark]

On that backwards play the ball...You will notice most of the players do a full roll. Your brain plays tricks with your eyes. Jason Ryles was the best example, you could see hes eyes not focussed...then when it happens its to late.
I put my hand up, I played the ball backwards once...did the rollover thing then couldnt believe it.Try it at home!

 

[Brutus]

What is this cross-code merkin doing on the show.

It's the only way these union clowns can get on a free-to-air football show.

 

[dragonic]

please no more of that f**king band
