The Footy Show thread 2009

[sting]

Loved the little backhander to Rebecca Wilson by Fatty:

"It's great to have a woman journalist with some credibility on the show."

Or am I reading too much into it?

:lol:

gold:lol:

 

[Matt23]

It's actually been quite reasonable...

 

[Kiki]

lolz at Fattys call.

Fatty is a simpleton, has as much subtlety as a 30-grit sandpaper. Much too superficial, doesn`t think things through properly.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Pork Sword .... Lol Russty...

 

[perverse]

good to hear from rusty re: state of ownership of an NRL club etc.

this has been a good show so far imo.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

How bout a few plugs russs

Fatty starts the show about players drinking and then comes up with
"when I had about 30 schooners I had to call the missus to take me home"

 

[El Diablo]

It's actually been quite reasonable...

so was last years first ep IIRC

went downhill fast

Things were different 15-20 years ago.

Media scrutiny wasn't as harsh.

Is Vossy permanant???????????

 

[perverse]

lol.. i only just noticed matty johns' lip. whats going on there? someone plant one on him or what?

 

[abpanther]

Cool ad for SoO

 

[perverse]

Is Vossy permanant???????????

yep.

 

[gong_eagle]

Cool ad for SoO

and Stewart is in it too

 

[Cumberland Throw]

I think its stupid promoting SOO this week... Mixed messages we have 8 weeks to sell those tickets we need to sell tickets this week for Opening Day...

 

[Garts]

Fatty has been brilliant tonight, calling a spade a spade.

f**k, Stewart interview just hours before it happened, about player behaviour too... crazy stuff. He looked a little intoxicated IMO.

He looked at little out of it. I think the team only got back from London just before, not exactly sure how much before though.

 

[bartman]

Yeah, it hasn't been bad tonight - if they dish that level of footy-talk up for the whole season I'll be happy.

Vossy goes well, Fatty does ok but feels the need to revert to crowd-pleasing funny Fatts a bit too often, and Matty Johns is Matty Johns. It's a good permanent three, an improvement in style too.

 

[VictorTheViking]

I like crowe's ideas for origin too, not bad.

 

[fourplay]

good stuff Russel.

That is the kind of mind that is needed to lead rugby league in this country. He has the creativity and vision we need.
