Andy Maher - Sorry but I don't get it

[jaydee2323]

And like a cockroach where you thought you'd gotten rid of him, out he crawls... and at the Melbourne derby of all places...

Record crowd obviously got wind he was commentating so went to the game so as not have to listen to him.

 

[thegrach]

...and he's just worked Carlton into his commentary. What a ****ing dickhead!

 

[thegrach]

And now Fevola. **** OFF, WE DON'T CARE!

Herpes Maher...

Apparently there is a big crowd at the Boi Boi Eel 5.

I wonder what a typical Andy Maher Cricket question reads like.

 

[Spongebob]

I wonder what a typical Andy Maher Cricket question reads like.

It is like Molly Bloom's chapter in Ulysses (without the literary merit).

22,000 words with just 2 pieces of punctuation. Neither of which is a question mark.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

The legendary story is of him jumping on a bar and belting out the Carlton song early in the last quarter of the 2009 Elimination Final.

For that story Andy, we thank you.

He confirmed this story on twitter the other day

What a flog.

I think Howie, Gilly and Punter have been the best commentators in the BBL and is the perfect team for every game.

Punter's made as smooth a transition into the media as I've seen and Gilly's such a natural in front of the camera.

Howie knows how to find the right balance of banter, serious issues, commentating vital points of a game and question asking.

Punter is fantastic, and I find it brilliant hearing him talk tactics.
Superb knowledge of the game but he tells it so naturally and easily... and without having to talk about cheese pizzas or flog merchandise

Commentating a WBBL game the other day Maher went early on the runout call 3 times, the players actually took a couple of steps and turned back all 3 times. Fairly certain he is a clueless flog, looks like he would of got beat up at school quite a lot as well.

 

[HBF]

Haven't watched alot of the WBBL, but it's been great only hearing him once or twice throughout the BBL.

 

[Doss]

Maher is a plonker of the highest order. No ability whatsoever.

I know it's Robbo, but it still makes me laugh:

 

[imadodgyumpire]

With that clip in mind. I suppose Robbo won't be continuing the Monday 1pm slot in SEN?

Maybe its a secret tactic from CA to drive up attendances.

 

[Ross Titute]

I hate having all the great memories of "Before the Game" tainted with this flog ruining it.

 

[Finks]

So I was wondering where that nerdy maher had got to and came across this thread. Brilliant! The best read ive had in a while.Thank you to everyone who has contributed. I've had a great laugh.
He is seriously the biggest richard hadlee on tv. I'm just lucky I'm from bris and maybe see his stupid head 5 times a yr, which somewhat quells my hatred for the guy.
Andy when you read this... Go eat a dic, know one likes you and you will never be one of the boys.

 

[John the Butcher]

Thank god I haven't heard him on the BBL this year. campaigner of the highest order.
I actually feel sorry for the people who watch WBBL

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Does anyone remember his short stint on soccer segment of Fox Sports......oh dear, what a disaster that was.

 

[Doss]

He just keeps on popping up! I don't get it.

He's probably an okay guy to have a beer with in real life (as long as he doesn't talk about ****ing Marcellin), but he has no talent whatsoever. His ocker bogan accent is highly grating, he lays on the cliches worse than any other commentator (only Luke Darcy comes close to being as bad), and he also doesn't offer anything even remotely insightful.

I'd like to know what inspired whoever it was who gave him his original gig to do so, because to me he looks and sounds like nothing more than your garden variety idiot who you've dragged in from the bar, three pints in.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Isn't it David Barham who usually makes stupid decisions at C10, being the guy who firs put Andy on national TV with their footy coverage?

 

[Doss]

Yeah, probably.

Credit to him, whoever described him as a cockroach is about right. His staying power is perversely impressive.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

I'd describe him best as a Mole.

He pops up whenever he feels like it.

Or should that be a pimple.

 

[Doss]

At least pimples have face wash and at worst roacutane to control them, though.

True and at least they go away.

That is the best turn of phrase I've seen.

Tonight Ponting and Fleming were talking about something meaningful concerning the actual game and Maher interrupts with some rubbish about a person in the crowd eating a vanilla drumstick
