Announcing the FOFFFFF

[Thirteen]

JT I felt the same about Ennis but really like him now. He’s a rare commentator who gives an honest opinion and doesn’t care if it may offend someone. He always says, “to be honest” and refreshingly he is honest.

I cant stand Gangbanger Johns and those dickheads Fletcher and Hindmarsh. Those blokes are really for the lowest common denominator. And don’t get me started on FatRoach.

[Easts75]

Great thread Tobin.

And they should piss off Buderus as well. That bloke could put me to sleep after an ounce of coke.

lol check what you are buying bro hahaha

[The Skeez]

Was waiting for a thread like this on bye week.

[Vasco]

There was, back in the dark old days when we had Finch in our side, the Fark Off Finch Foundation.

It had numbers similar to Souffs membership numbers, including the pets. It was a cause for solidarity amongst all Roosters fans and the joy only increased as he was sacked from our club.

It's now time for the Fark Off Finch From Fox Footy Foundation.

Seriously, he is on every second show.

When he calls a game I need subtitles to try and work out what he is saying.

When he is on a panel show all he can contribute are gags about how bad he was as a player and the addictions that almost destroyed him. That was bearable for about the first three minutes of the first show he was on. Now it's totally unbearable.

I understand that he may be a great drinking buddy for Matty Johns and the others that run Fox League but do we have to be subjected to his innane comments and voice that sounds like he's vomiting 24/7.

It has gotten to the point where I just switch off any show that he's on.

Please, Fox, give us some relief!

In other news, piss off Yvonne Sampson too. I don't need to hear any "the NRL is a better place when Souffs are going good" bullshit.

I'm sick of his pot shots at the Roosters about the salary cap.

He forgets that his buddy, the person that gave him a lifeline by giving him a gig on tv, is a Roosters fan.

Nothing, I repeat Nothing annoys me more than Michael Ennis saying “boy oh boy” ten times a match.
can somebody give them a thesaurus before the game.
i would even prefer Finch with his gravelly sounding inane drivel.

[Johnny Tobin]

For a while now, Matthew Johns has been unwatchable for me. He believes his own bullshit. Thinks he is part brilliant football brain (cue the exaggerated hand gestures his media coach has pushed to him as a sign of intelligence) and part funny man. Reality being he states the bleedingly obvious and rolls around on the couch, wheezing with laughter at his own jokes. Muttley comes to mind.

Throw in Finch and Fletcher and all we are left with is cheap jokes about getting shit-faced on coke or grog, running around in the nude, being a shithouse footballer, rooting Garlo's missus, Hindmarsh never winning a premiership or the Roosters "salary cap sombrero". Week after week after week. Then they roll out the baldy dope and his security blanket whose name I don't even know (don't give up your day job champ). These blokes beg to be taken off TV, then ask/allow Emma Lawrence to embarrass herself and her family with a foul mouth and more base humour.

Rights, rant over. Thanks Tobin for opening, I've wanted to get that shit off my liver for some time!

This! His constant fake laughter.

[Johnny Tobin]

Shithouse thread....sorry.

I was embarrassed as an Easts fan at the pack mentality to target and villify one of our own players. It nearly made me "walk" from Easts social media at the time. Fortunately some of the main protagonists don't come here much now.

As for the commentary side of things, Finchy is no great entertainer or informant but I find Tallis and Hindmarsh far far more objectionable and out of their depth.

Funnily enough I was embarassed as an Easts fan to see Finch in our colours after Fittler stopped carrying him.

I think Ennis could be for the chop. He's not one of the boys. Which says it all really. The laziness of an almost Monopoly.

It's not gravel. It sounds like he is vomiting.

I call it the AVV - or Aussie Vomit Voice. Tim Bailey is the patron of the movement. And the real long projection of vomit comes with the obligatory "Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate."

[roosterproud]

just on comentators. i am really impressed with innis. never liked the grub on field, but put him in-front of a mic and he has a great unscripted knowledge of players , teams and the game. fofff

[The Thracian]

I am all for equal opportunity but there are far too many woman on these shows, Lawrence and Freedman come on shows for a 2 minute cameo and ask a scripted question or provide a scoop that everyone has known for a month, most pretend to know what they are on about but honestly have NFI, Gasnier, is crap, Tallis is rubbish, Buderas, Hodges, Parker and Walters have the combined brain capacity of a flea

They put all the women on there to try and be politically correct and then they are totally politically incorrect.

I remember last season they were talking about Milford and then they were introducing Lara Pitt. Fletcher said, "Talking about MILFS..". I cringed as they all laughed and Lara went red with embarrassment.

Forget about the window dressing. The place is very much a boys club from the 80's and I feel sorry for the ladies working there.

He might know someone who can supply it for you.
