Watching Finding-Nemo commentate on Mitch Wallis would be like Bruce commentating on Cyril or Buddy.

Seeing Mark Robinson on TV gives me the same feeling I got when I saw Aaron Henneman get games.
âHow the hell did this happen?â

The footy media has changed. Now shows are consumed with the next sensational story. If there isnât one, they make one up.
Previously, the talk would be about the game, and I donât mean the rules of the game. They would discuss players and highlight the quality in the league, great players playing the game and how they go about their craft. After this there would be light hearted entertainment and not the crass humour we see now. There were some great players and personalities that played the game we all got to know.
Now, a great personality is basically any player with tatts who pretends they donât give a stuff. Apart from that most players are robots.

A dog is smart enough to know, never bite the hand that feeds you.
You know how I know youâve never watched Up The Guts?
The utter absurdity of all of that has absolutely done me.
Taylor Walker is now Texas Galoot. Forever.

Triple m are debating the size of pixelation on Billyâs crotch when naked on TV.
The sad thing is they actually get enough listeners to stay on the air.
Itâs anazing hearing the difference with the 90âs commentary to what itâs come to. They actually just talk about the game - amazing!! All that in joke/commentators acting like caricatures bullocks that channel 7 has is sickening
The best thing going around is a new footy podcast called âTrendsâ highly recommended

Robbo in todays HSUN. He has written another article about âhow bad was the booingâ on Anzac Day.
His only understanding is how to BEAT UP a story. FCS, let it go, let it go, let it go.
Contrast this with other opinion makers who have an understanding of whats real:
Bevo, âwe have become a nanny stateâ âFans are tribalâ basically he says, Lighten up, it has a funny side, and yes, I agree. I go to the footy to be entertained. Its thrilling, it takes you to a climax one week and dumps you the next. Its a passion. Take away the passion, and you might as well save your money and watch suburban footy for free if you are interested.
Then the #1 opinion maker ( whether we like it or not ) Gillon ( fark him) says its OK. Its part of footy, as long as its not racially motivated. Fair enough.
We know that Collingwood fans have booed a champion of the game, Riewoldt when he got up to speak. But lets not focus on âshameful behaviourâ, hypocrisy, just accept that booing is here and here to stay, because as customers and stakeholders, its the only way to express our displeasure.
Robbo; let it go, let it go, let it goâŚ
I think Barrett has written another article on it. I didnât click on it though but I assume itâs the usual bile
It amuses me that the so called journos writing about the booing sit in little glass boxes during the games, they are so far removed from what is happening in the crowd they have no right to report on it. How any person can decide that tens of thousands of people are motivated by to boo is ridiculous.

Why would he let it go.

They write on these issues because if they wrote about the football people would clearly know they have zero idea what football is or how it is played. They are âsports journalistsâ who barely watch games or understand the rules, so they focus on the peripheral subjects because it is all they know.
