Sandy Roberts

[jefffff34]

Now who's the one who called mick mcguane's buitifull running goal in the 90's because it goes along the lines of "phil manassa like goal by micky mcguane", just totally destroyed what potentially could have been a great peice of commentary you listen to it on highlight clips now and then just cringe. Im mean who could possibly stuff that its given to ya on a platter.

That was Robertson.

What is buitifull?

That was Robertson.

Robbo come on down.

What is buitifull?

sorry mate beautiful, watching it as a younster it was just amazing, it looked like poetry in motion and then you have someone who just didnt really know how to put words to such a great piece of play.

Is Leanne ******** in the house,or should i say Leanne ********!

 

[opng]

the best most of seven's commentators could do in those days was screem someones name at the top of their voice when they went for a highflying mark, dennis and bruce excluded.

Take out your WOODEN SPOONS bend over and wack yourselves.

A good mate of mine is a Bombers supporter and the "MERCURI! MERCURI! MERCURI!" always gets him fired up.
what about the ol' Peter Landy "Ohh that kick has travelled 80 metres, 40 up and 40 down" priceless.

I also rekon Sandy goes alright.

I remember a game in the 80s, I think Geelong vs Collingwood, Ablett was running a muck, A couple of lines of Sandy's commentating got stuck in my head

" he's alight Garry Ablett, Look at the magician at work, he shoots towards goal what more can you say!!!!

I love it.

Yep, possibly Sandy's best work ever. As a Bomber I loved his 1993 GF comment...Smokin' Joe Misiti with a shot at goal from an impossible angle "He goes for home, he goes for home...and what a way to go". Gold!

Bump

I hope he retire soon....dead set bias in yesterday's game was a joke

Hates western Australian teams

He lept referring to Carlton's son of guns .....likes he best mates with them. Getting all orgasmic every time Carlton wet forward.

Dead set dinosaur and um staggered this is the best we can throw up for Foxtel

He's incompetent fool.

Piss off Roberts and do us all a favour and retire you incompetent dinosaur.

 

[La Vache]

Just pumping up the underdog in a shit-boring match. Pretty much what happens during the coverage of most other such games.

Rest of the post looked like some serious keyboard anger bashing, such is the destruction of English

Sandy Roberts is like Marv Albert compared to Dwayne Russell.

Prophetic.

Lol. Morphett, landy, Roberts, Robertson, love those guys!

Possibly, but I found comments like 'hopefully Carlton can clear the ball from the backline' to be unnecessary.

That said, looking at that Rogues Gallery of WA commentators, we're not in a position to cast judgement

Bring back Clinton Grybus

Also Basil is one of the worst human beings to ever exist

Comments like this are just so ridiculous. I know you probably mean well but it's just such an immature thing to say. It's sad he's gone but disrespectful to say 'bring him back'.

Not to mention, over the top much about Basil? Might not like his commentating, but sheesh

With comments like that you are a few rungs on the ladder above Basil in that category.
