Tim Gilbert...

[Brutus]

Channel 9 rugby league is incredibly ordinary.

Thank god for Fox Sports.

 

[Springs]

Surely they will get someone else once Rabs leaves?

 

[azsportza]

Once I found out he was calling today, I went straight to triple M's coverage. He has ruined the Roast now...I find it laughable that he is now following me on Twitter after I quoted one of you guys from here making comment about him

 

[Mr Saab]

Post more stuff about him from here.like this...... Tim you ruined the roast

 

[some11]

Blame Crawley.

Ch9 getting Tim Gilbert to call the CC Origin match goes to show that they simply don't give a stuff about the match and they, like most league supporters (except for the deluded like ECT who defends country rugby league at any opportunity), would like to see the back of this fixture sooner rather than later. For most of the broadcast, it sounded like Tim Tam was having a casual yarn about league to his commentators rather than actually calling the game.

Just a quick observation.

That's funny about Tim Gilbert following Azsportza on Twitter. I see Gilbert has 1200 followers himself. Vossy has well over ten times more. Rabs and Thugray Hadley don't tweet (too many bullies for Hadley)

Just saying.

To be fair, I don't actually mind Gilbert as a panelist or sideline reporter.

As a matchcaller he sucked though.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

The only time he was bearable was when they used to cross to him for 5 mins on a Sunday for an around the grounds update.

I actually thought he made a better caller than Hadley, but that's really not saying much.

Absolutely, i think he actually goes alright as a sideline eye.
I dont think this criticism is very warranted.

Turn it up you bafoon

 

[PARRA_FAN]

I dont know what was worse, Gilbert calling the game or Ben Ikin calling after Vossy fell sick.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

I agree that Gilbert is better on the sidelines

 

[reanimate]

Turn it up you bafoon

Hadley fan are you? Note that wasn't a compliment to Gilbert, that's just how bad Hadley is.

 

[st george dragons]

I agree that Gilbert was good in his role as the ''Around the Grounds'' reporter on The Sunday Footy Show a few years back. But i have found him annoying since early last year when they made him the Roast presenter. He pisses me off now whenever i see him! (like him doing the sports on Weekend Today, or when he's the main caller for RL, like yesterday for the City-Country game).

I wish he goes back to being a reporter, or a side-line commentator for the footy

 

[Mr Saab]

He is turning into another "Eddie everywhere" type person. Sick to death of his name dropping and his sucking up to fellow panelists - like Leilah McKinnon and just his personality as a whole.

 

[carlosthedwarf]

I don't know why he thinks anyone would be interested in his opinion.

 

[umina panther]

I don't know why he thinks anyone would be interested in his opinion.

I certainly didn't f**king ask for it
