Roos takes biased commentating to a new level

[Jess' Doggies!!]

Unbearable! To Sydneys credit they have absolutely belted a pathetic Dogs side today convincingly but Roos' comments are incredible.

Boyd does a great smother and the comment is "unfortunately smothered by Boyd". FFS be professional!!

or just lower your expectations

 

[.Shotties.]

It's been hilarious.

 

[rapido]

I can imagine how frustrating it would be to watch this game for Bullies' supporters. They are playing crap, the game had like a million stoppages and to top it off you've got Roos breathing through his teeth and wanking all over the "spectacle".

 

[Jess' Doggies!!]

or just lower your expectations

Will have to be this I think...

 

[Mr Shankly]

Hardly to a "new level". He's got a fair way to go to come close to Walls or Lane.

 

[Jeffy38!]

Roo's is a wank. He should have stayed the coach of the Swan's as i liked him then but now....

 

[pinkus maximus]

he was terrible last week too. He actually cried "oh nooo!" when Freo won a free kick late in the game. Someone needs to teach him how to turn his mic off

 

[Byron_Clanger]

I agree, Roos needs to learn to be a little partial, even if it is during a Swans game

 

[mercurial]

Hardly to a "new level". He's got a fair way to go to come close to Walls or Lane.

Fair way? Thought he had all the hallmarks of a future Walls this afternoon. Just wait until he starts spitting it when he commentates a Swans game in which they lose.

 

[Arwib]

It was nearly as bad as watching a game telecast from Perth or Adelaide. Or even a lot of games with Melbourne teams vs a non-Melbourne team.

Nice that we finally have a commentator of our own, and at least he knows something about our team.

 

[Kram]

He was actually groaning for Swans free kicks last week..

He would be fine if they just let him do non Sydney games.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Absolutely pathetic. Makes Walls and Lane look like the height of impartiality. What makes it worse is that he has to do it in that weak, whiny voice.

Here's hoping that Ross Lyon retires at the end of the year and joins Roos, so that we can have that tone of voice in stereo.

Seriously, Roos' calling of Swans games is deplorable. And it kinda needs to stop. Now.

 

[Riders of Rohan]

I'm all for him not commentating Swans games in the future. He's shit, just repeats shit that every fan knows already.

 

[Danog]

I noticed him call Sydney "we" a few times.

 

[themarkedman72]

I'm all for him not commentating Swans games in the future. He's shit, just repeats shit that every fan knows already.

wise words.

he is hopelessly biased. Just a bore when they cant give fair unbiased insights.

 

[Righteo]

I'm surprised they let him commentate after last week.

But anyway shit thread, of course it's too much to ask for commentators and special comments guys to be professionals when there's a distinct "jobs for the boys" mentality present in the AFL.

 

[The Speaker]

Coach just out of a club still has strong connection to club.

Amazing.

Why Fox didn't realise that putting him on Sydney games isn't a good idea is beyond me.

Also, Footy Fourth Estate.

 

[zetz]

Even as a Sydney supporter, I won't even deny the bias shown by Roos.

Of course Swans fans won't complain but I agree he should work on being impartial when calling the game.

 

[Clark G]

He must like Ted Richards heaps, keeps calling him 'Teddy'.

 

[Ant85]

Watched the game, a bit annoying hearing Roos commentating a Swans game.

And I thought Tim Lane and Robert Walls were the worst with Carlton.

He has definitely taken it to a new level.

I always considered Roos the most professional in the game. Clearly didn't cross over to his fledgling commentating career!

 

[Lord Nicholson]

He must like Ted Richards heaps, keeps calling him 'Teddy'.

He calls EVERYONE by their nickname.

He was even calling Tom Liberatore "Libba" by the end of it. This man is not a commentator.

 

[Twist_of_Lemon]

It was nearly as bad as watching a game telecast from Perth or Adelaide. Or even a lot of games with Melbourne teams vs a non-Melbourne team.

Genuine question, which TV commentator is biased towards the Crows?

I haven't heard Ricciuto commentate one of their games yet, I don't think.

 

[23cmonShane!]

Anyone else hear the "oh No"s every time something went against the swans last week and this week?

 

[lewigie]

he was terrible last week too. He actually cried "oh nooo!" when Freo won a free kick late in the game. Someone needs to teach him how to turn his mic off

I remember that. Unless I was thinking of a different moment.

He groaned "eughhh!" when there was a one on one marking contest and the umpire took a while to call a blatant free for Sydney. Like an annoyed grunt that sydney weren't given a free kick.
