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

[Partridge]

To all those who are contemplating throwing things at their expensive TV/necking one self/on the verge of turning off, please do so!

I support any or all of the options!! This thread is fast becoming like those pathetic people on social media crusading for Alan Jones to be taken off the air. Or Kyle Sandilands etc. As if a radio dial was the most foreign concept floating in their cranium.

Get one self a life. The Cult of Robbo thread is at least abound with humour from it's posters

Ah yes. Internet forums are so much fun when only your views are shared.

We gorged on foot candy and hand candy and razor ray said jeezus. Big night for BT.

All that and BT jabbering on about wax or waxing or some shit early in the game.
What was going on there?

BT's usual irrelevant dribble.

Mute!!!!! Genuinely makes the game enjoyable. Did it the whole match last night, great to just focus on the contest.

I saw about ten minutes in the third quarter where every time someone goaled, Taylor told us what they 'said' to their opponent.

I've reached the point where I simply cannot watch if he's commentating. And if it's a Geelong game I turn the volume down very low.

The Saturday night commentary team (and most commentary teams these days, really) have helped me to listen to a lot more music this year. Much rather have an album on over the footy than ever have to hear BT again. I am not easily moved to anger but I've gotten legitimately close to throwing things at the television when Taylor is commentationg. The inanity, the faux-blokey banter, the witless jokes, the inability to pronounce names, the obsession with meaningless minutiae that he'll spend an entire quarter focusing on... is there anything positive he contributes?

Darcy is dull and offers nothing insightful but compared to BT, you have to love the way he goes about it.

Wasn't on TV - but BT telling Seb Costello on Friday night that he "looked gay" because he was wearing a scarf = definite highlight/lowlight.

No wonder 3AW is losing listeners. People had their gripes with Rex, but he was entertaining.

What about Taylor's endless obsession with how far the ball travels at boundary throw-ins?

Taylor's expertise is banging on constantly about issues nobody else really gives a stuff about.

do they want to be vaudeville or serious football calling? If it's the former, it is going the way Rex was toward the end of his (3AW) tenure

Agree. Rex was taken off for supposedly making it too much about him.

The irony.

Walls & Lane doing a Carlton game was worse.

Never forget in 2009 when Hawthorn beat Carlton after Fev hit the post, they had Walls, Lane and Maher on the boundary. Buddy gave away what should have been 50m (Wasn't paid, didn't matter because it was before Fev choked anyway) and the tears in the box were delicious. Also this is one of the most hilarious things I've ever heard on football coverage:

BT makes terrible games exciting

Looking over an old topic I created four years ago.

Oh how things have changed...

As bad as that was I'd rather them to BT.

BT's entire shtick is noticing something irrelevant to the game and pointing it out for the rest of the game. He must be in cahoots with the cameramen because they'll cut to whatever he's referencing during live play.

Like the two security guards at the GABBA who have their backs to one another.

Nobody gives a s***, just call the game.

Wowee!

 

[Cleavy]

I don't care about Darcy's travel plans and where he had a layover.

 

[The_Doctor]

I enjoy their banter. Some people just love to complain though

I get the feeling that was all pre-planned like a host of other things that BT likes to lock down on.

 

[Righteo]

I'd wager Richo has a much better footy brain than BT, no need to be such a condescending prick to him all the time BT.
