'BT' and Darcy: The Worst Commentary Team in History?

[Nelso]

BT and Darcy have killed Sat night footy on tv.

 

[RobbyRoy]

Jack Riewoldt kicks a meaningless late goal as Essendon fans jeer:

BT: "Riewoldt has the last laugh... or does he? With such a big loss!"

My god that was horrible.

 

[two blue tiger]

The fact that the footy (not only Richmond's footy as a very disillusioned Tiger fan....) is just so plain horrible this year doesn't help the BT and Darcy show one bit - only magnifies how bad they are tenfold.......

I think the bigger the blow out a game is, the more you take notice of bt and Darcy because they start to talk about the most idiotic, insignificant things and they keep going on about it.

Personally, I think they're much better than the fox footy guys. Way more interesting to listen to

BT tonight after Daniher taps his armbands after a goal (his grandfather died last week)

"Daniher applauds himself... just pointing out the armbands there and gives it the old reunghhhh!!!"

****ing despicable call

That is legitimately a disgrace.

BT actually tried to make the sound of a broken whistle tonight.
Seriously. Comeon wtf 7. This cant continue any longer. Any ounce or level of integrity has abandoned that station as of tonight.
What a sad and pathetic state commentary is.

To be fair to BT, he was just trying to out-do his co-commentator. Upon Jarryd Blair kicking a goal against West Coast in 2012, he kissed his armband in memory of JMac, with Darcy proclaiming that little Blairy liked his guns. Darce did correct himself upon realisation of his monumental stuff up though.

Gotta feel for Cameron Ling having to work with these twats. By far the most knowledgeable commentator on 7 and is trying to do his job properly and make something of himself as a commentator and has to put up with the garbage that these other clowns put out there. Always has the big cheesy grin but you can quite easily tell he's thinking 'how the f*** did I get myself into this s***?'

I would take BT over Darcy every day of the week.

Every second player is "one of the best of all time" or " top five in the AFL" according to Darcy. He also has a certain smug, self assuredness that make me want to vomit.

I think Lingy is just killing time deciding what club he's going to coach at next year.

I'll never forget a certain day maybe 9 or 10 years ago when my cousins son went to get an autograph off Darce while he was having a conversation with someone. Luke told the innocent 6yo in no uncertain terms to 'just f***ing wait til I'm done talking yeah?'

I guess he didn't really love the way he went about it.

What's really annoying with the Saturday night dumb duo is how often they cross to Ling for comments.They cross to him for comments a lot more than the Friday night or sat/sun arvo Seven commentators do to their boundary riders.....oops,field commentators.Just put Ling in the box.He's way better than anyone else in there.

Late in the game last night, when BT was saying that Richmond used to be called Brisbane back in 1995........lol! That was funny, obviously the dude know's that's not correct being an ex player of the club however thats exactly what he said.....hahaha.

 

[Theprofessional]

I am so sick of the commentary and at the start of the season I thought it was because the Swans were playing hopeless so my enjoyment of footy in general was going to be low, but even the last few games. BT is literally the worst commentator ever, no play by play nothing, I don't recognise a few of the geelongs younger players so maybe some play by play when Geelong start a counter attack would be nice. At least call the ****ing game.

Listened to MMM the other night with Spider Everitt and a few others for the Brisbane game, heard first quarter uninterupted and it was fantastic (might've been just in comparison to thursday night). They called everything in the game (radio obviously but TV should do the same) had a boundary line reporter for injuries, gave a good description of events and showed excitement at the right time. Sure their was hints of bias towards Brisbane and the crew towards 'Skinny' Everitt. But their was more play by play, same amount of stats, less nicknames, less stupid catchphrase 'boy oh boy' 'woweee' crap and more focus on the game in general.

Swans vs Geelong I would've rathered for the last quarter they call some better moments of the game and maybe discuss upcoming games for the two sides to kill time (they didn't), instead of talking about Bartel's torps for five minutes or more about bouncing the ball... Maybe discuss players coming back for Geelong next week, how far away Pyke is from playing, the improvement of Dericx, whether Hawkins back is 100%. Hell rehash the crap from the footy shows during the week, don't talk about an umpire bouncing a freaking ball.

Seven need to introduce a 'Press Red' style commentary for Saturday night.
Don't care who they put on Press Red because it can't be any worse than what we already have.Yes even Baz,Hamish & Mark McVeigh would be better.

Hold up. I know we're all struggling at the moment but let's not say things we might regret.

Get worse each week, they will prob get a 5 year contract extention before the end of the year.

Foot Candy, Dukes, Foot Candy, Dukes, Foot Candy, Dukes

Been watching with the volume down for about a year now but I can still hear this repeating in my mind when I do
