Mega Thread The Thread of Despair - Discuss the badness of Brian Taylor here

His referring to Robinson as 'Cauliflower Ears' for half the match brought back fond memories of Rex Hunt's infamous 'Mrs Downsborough's Boy' call for a Hawks Crows game.

A definite low point, he really is a horses ass, well, he's pretty big, maybe an elephant

BT: " Judd cracks in .................. ball over the line and we'll, we'll throw it in again."
TW: "Look at where Selwood ended up there BT. I mean he's worn Judd like a glove."
BT: "Yeh."
TW: "There's 10, 12 secs to go and he's still diving in on top of him and smothering him."
BT: "Still touching him, still feeling him .... it's unbelievable isn't it? The commitment."
TW: "Look at that again. Shoulder to shoulder."

 

[Baltimore Jack]

My pet hate is when commentators (and BT is one of the worst) conclude EVERY sentence with "........ in the end"
"He takes a nice mark in the end" or "he gets a kick out to the wing in the end"
If they didn't say it the sentence would actually sound better and make more sense.
Last night BT was on an "in the end" roll, and nothing was going to stop him racking up a PB, which he did easily.

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

I did like how he pulled up Lingy when he said a player (Naitanui, I think) was someone he'd pay to watch. BT fired back with something like "Maybe you should head back to the gate then; I'm tipping they let you through for free tonight." Drives me mad when people who are unlikely to have paid to go to a game of football in over a decade are the ones who are telling us this.

 

[parano1a]

Does anyone else hate the way BT pronounces Monfries as 'Mon-FREEZE'...

 

[BigVic]

Shocking tonight. Worst commentator in the AFL and a pain to listen to.

 

[Igloo]

Does anyone else hate the way BT pronounces Monfries as 'Mon-FREEZE'...

He's done it for other players tonight as well. Even brought out a Mun-DEE

 

[ozgamer]

"HERE HE IS! MY MAN CROZIER!"

"... KICKS THE BALL TO CLAAAANCEE PEARCE IN THE WHITE SHORTS. BIG ISN'T IT?"

 

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

How about Jobe Watson "Giving him words of advice, I'm not sure what he's saying but I'm sure it is something helpful" or something to that affect.

 

[Starburns_]

Went 3 whole quarters without hearing about "the weapon", but of course BT couldn't last a whole match without talking about that silly.

 

[dmc333]

Why does everything have to be laced with over the top adjectives.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

If I hear MonFreeze or Jakey Carlisle one more time my remote is going to go through my tv. His telling everyone who his favourites are ruins Saturday night after Saturday night. Just call the game.

 

[Burzum]

CHEESE GRATER!

 

[arkie]

Wow. He is truly annoying. Bad combination with Richo and Darcy too.

 

[EBUS]

Quite liked BT last year, was funny then but now he's just turned to shit.

 

[medhurstISGOD]

Don't mind BT but FFS why do Essendon play so many saturday night games?

 

[Bluish]

I guess one of the perks of having next to no Saturday Night FTA games is not having to voluntarily put up with this buffoon.

 

[Righteo]

THAT'S A BIG BANGER!

Just quietly BT, Clancee's rump, as you are so fond of bringing up EVERY SINGLE GAME HE PLAYS, would be much less rotund than your own.

I still love him though, he's such a ridiculous man, I long ago accepted the commentating fraternity are a bunch of egomaniac troglodytes, may as well take some humour from it when you can right?

 

[Baltimore Jack]

Why can't he say the names of players properly?
Why does he attempt to pronounce ever single syllable in their name with a slight pause between syllabes?
Like:
Har-Ding-Ham
Mon-Freeze
Mel-Chum

He is sounding very juvenile and trite

 

[Beerfish]

It's his schtick and he clearly believes it sets him apart from the pack.

He's right of course, but not in the way he thinks.

 

[MarkCatsFan]

I only caught the 2nd half last night but it seemed like he excelled himself at being completely intolerable. Absolute f*ckwit


Edit: Apparently a F*wit is now a 'Silly Person' in this forum. Nice correction lol

 

[The Speaker]

Gave me a chuckle when his vortex pocket theory failed him this week.

 

[S120]

I just can't stand commentators using nicknames. Roos, Darcy, BT are some of the worst offenders. Use their surnames FFS.

 

[Cleavy]

I find this impossible to believe.
