Vossy has food poisoning - no second half call

[Timmah]

It's Benny Ikin that induces the pain.

 

[Mal Meninga]

MG asked to call a set and was certainly better than Ikin, it's still very painful to listen to though.

"Can I call this next set please" :lol:

Wasn't bad in that set.. basically called everything he observed in his proriferal.

 

[dontmakemeangry]

BWAAAAAAW HAHAHAHA How good was that? Anyone on here who dissects and analyses that commentary for anything other than what it was (FUN) has massive problems.
Loved it!!!:lol: :lol:

 

[smeghead]

I can see the Channel 9 control guy now when Voss went down pacing up and down smoking a whole pack of smokes and than weeping at the prospect his career was over.

In Kerry's day it would have been.

Although now 9 is all focussed on money and efficiency, it will be hard for them to justify employing 2 members of the commentary team who have now been shown up to be simply incapable of actually commentating.

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Bit of difference making the odd analytical comment to doing play by play, really harsh to compare the two!

 

[mightypanther]

Just heard that Andrew Voss was struck down with food poisoning at half-time of the Raiders Panthers game and did not call the final 40, leaving both Geyer and Ikin to call the action.

Should be interesting.

I'm not surprised he got sick.

Watching that game made me bloody sick too.. :lol:

If they serve Balfours pies in Canberra Stadium that could probably explain his food poisoning.

 

[oneeyedeaglesman]

Was painfull to have to put up with Ikin.He is enthusiastic,but is a total knob.I,m just glad it wasn't a broncos game.MG is always good value even if you don't agree with him.He says what he thinks and feels.

More then likely got his hands on one of canberra stadiums imfamous beef rolls, which from my experience taste like they've been sitting there for 3 years

 

[innsaneink]

I heard it was the green chicken schnitzel...he thought it was a marketing angle.

lolol

 

[Brutus]

What about MG saying the Panthers were still in it at 34-24 down with a minute to go.

Funny stuff.

that was cracking me up
there was 3 minutes left, they were down by 14 and they are saying penrith are still a chance :lol:

Funny stuff.

I watched the 2nd half today and heard MG say that.
FFS...it is 34-24 in the 78th minute and it is "game on".
What was he thinking...actually i dont want answer to that question

 

[Caged Panther]

I'm guessing he was letting his love of the panthers get in his head ahead of any logic.

 

[Azkatro]

I'm sure Saab when he said "game on" at that point he was really having a lend. It was a difficult and unexpected situation for them to be in but what Ikin did wrong was not actually call what he saw .. he fell into the habit of just crapping on about nothing a few times. When MG had a set at least he just got into the action which is in essence the play by play caller's job.

Mind you overall they could have probably been slightly more professional about the situation.

 

[IanG]

Well they may not be capable in terms of the play by play commentary but they're both ok in terms of expert comment. I actually though it was ammusing. Bare in mind it's all they could do at short notice.

Where's Billy Birmingham when you need him?
