Tim Gilbert...

I thought He was ok on the around the grounds - and yes he does have smaller hands than "the creature from the black swamp" Erin Moron - who lets face it is just a Canberra Groupie

Gilbert is not entertaining in the slightest- he reminds me of the taste i get after eating neat margarine - He is the type of f**k who - after you make a joke at a party says "sorry about my uncouth friend" - that type of merkin - i hope he enjoys living up "Ginge's" ass crack.

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

Definitely Gilbert calling. Last Sunday, he just sounded like he was having a casual yarn to Gus and Joey about RL rather than calling the game. I'd much prefer to hear Sterlo calling. He did reasonably well in that short stint he filled in for Rabs and Hadley during the Olympics last year.
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

Sums up my thoughts about Gilbert.

I agree that Gilbert is better on the sidelines

Erin Molan looks like the chicks from White Chicks. Terrible journo/reporter/whatever the f**k she's trying and failing at.

hahaha. True. I've been wondering who she looks like, and although it didn't occur to me prior to your post, the chicks from the White Chicks is spot on.

Im not sure either what she's trying to be when on the Footy Show, but she is good at doing the sports report for the Morning News on Channel Nine.

That was problem in the NSW Cup Grand Final. I mean the game was good, but the commentary was terrible. Im pretty sure for about 10 minutes it was just him, Gould and Johns having a chit chat.

It is a lesson to everyone. If you suck up the boss' wife as well as the boss, you get promoted to being a league caller at the expense of a truly talented caller in Voss

Where is Andrew Voss? There was these rumours going around last year that he was so hard to work with ... now he's disappeared after a stint commentating the Q Cup last year.

Gilbert ... well ... he makes you appreciate Rabs even more doesn't he?

The moment the Broncos game started, Gilbert called the stadium Dairy Farmers, then corrected himself with "1800 SMILES STADIUM", both of which are wrong. He was dreadful tonight. Simply dreadful. Kinda like when Uni students start a radio station for the first time.

Daz: Voss is commentating NZ games, in NZ.

Calling Warriors home games and doing a very good job

Gilbert was shocking, then made a comment about how good Thaiday was playing, surely Gilbert wasn't watching the game I was

- Called the stadium Dairy Farmers
- Kept confusing Oates-Maranta
- Confused Dodds and McGuire
- Struggled to finish sentences at times, could barely finish words
- Is a mouthbreather

Deadset Gilbert is a f**king gibberer. Hes worse than Rabs, who at least has the excuse of being senile. Throw in Lewis and Lockyer, and my god I wanted to die. Good stuff Channel 9.

Was coming in to post this. The best one of the night was on the Oates' try, he said "GREAT PASS FROM THURSTON" when Hodges threw the pass.

They don't even play for the same team, look alike or play the same position. Wtf.
