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

[Mentallo]

Oh Boy!!!

 

[red+black]

Up until halfway through the third he had been really good.

You mean, apart from incorrectly calling the very first score of the game. I can see it missing, it does miss, BT says it's a goal, then realises it missed. Another one later in the game where it was a goal and you could tell BT wasn't sure because he didn't call it until the umpire signalled it. Maybe he has an eyesight problem.

Was poor stuff but by his usual standards had still been ok. But yea then turned to shit. Seems to think it sounds good when he stirs Richo with his garbage. It doesn't.

what is this colder cannon factory that apparently produces hundreds of guns?

MonFREES. Harding.. HAM. Was a complete ****wit tonight. Can't believe I used to think he was alright.. and the petty squabbling with Richo made him sound like an utter tool.

What was bizarre was he kept saying "the boy from ??? Harding HAM"

But I never caught actually where Harding HAM was from because he was trying to fit an entire sentence into one word.

It sounded like Cosher? Was it a pun about pork and kosher? Honestly **** knows.

And did you know his dad is a bus builder?

OH BOY!

WOWEEEEEEE!!

I believe you mean the CALDER CANNONS FOOTY FACTORY!!

It's just you, he's been absolutely terrible.

your only saying that cause the eagles lost last night, BT is one of the most exciting commentators in the AFL and that's what the coverage needs. His eccentric calling style brings alot to Saturday Night Footy

And people like you are obviously who his calling his aimed at, and that's fine. But I find him an obnoxious knobhead.

 

[fabulousphil]

Generally i like BT, his sprinkler gag when Watson was puking up the blue gatoraide was pretty funny.

Mandurah boy, who joined RIchmond at age 16

 

[Agent93]

Ditto. arguing w/ Richo about which martial arts Glass is a black belt in and the end of the 3rd qtr was ruined by dribble trolling about some bloke (who I assume is the Bombers strengths coach) who calls himself the "The Weapon".

Wanted to strangle him throughout that episode... seriously, just call the game.

The whole circle jerk over "The Weapon" was a disgrace. It made me feel ill enough to mute the tele.

Agree 100%. Easily, easily the worst commentator on TV. His lack of knowledge regarding footballers, the lack of insight he brings to analysis of the game, and the grossly unprofessional blokeish "banter" with co-commentators drives me up the bloody wall.

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

Watching the replay of Saturday night's game (for some reason...) and he just said that Ryan Neates was pick 5 in the 2010 draft.

He was.

Bristle just didn't specify which draft, buuut it's technically correct in a way. The best kind of correct.

Circle jerk? I got the distinct impression BT was totally taking the piss.

That and his arguing with Richo.. guy was seriously off his game Saturday.

 

[Ghostwriter]

As someone else alluded to, he is basically bullying Richo, belittling him in front of fellow workmates, Richo should front the C7 human resources dept and make a complaint.

 

[seanoff]

He doesn't seem to tske any notice of anything, just BTs world view.

Just proved it then on that review

"like to know what the umpire was thinking"

Not more than 2 seconds after everyone heard the central umpire say " we think its a goal"

 

[brucetiki]

And it gets better with the debate about goal post heights

 

[Rob]

Another 'professional' that doesn't know the holding the ball rule.

Some St Kilda player dived on it, so he has to get it out. He doesn't. Paid HTB. Taylor is bemused, and comments 'But he tried to get it out!'

It doesn't matter you pigeon toed pea brain. Learn the bloody rules. You know, what you're paid to do.

Maybe Richo could send Max Rooke to do his job for a night next week. Soon as BT starts his shit Max can just hack his head off with a rusty old saw and be done with it.

 

[Milk Steak]

Richo not covering himself in glory with the whole goalpost debate. Seems to sound dumber every game. Do they tell BT to pick 1 stupid topic per game and piss on about for 2 quarters. Tonight it's the goal posts,Saturday it was "The Weapon". Prediction for this weekend- BT will refer to the ball as "The Bouncy" for 20 minutes

Yeah Richo hits new levels of dumb tonight.
