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

[schnoods]

The banter between BT and Darcy just isnt funny, Darcy doesnt say much and when he does its generally stating the obvious.

Richo isnt bad as long as he isnt expected to say anything smart, as soon as he makes a less than smart comment he gets jumped on by BT. After that i don't know whats more painful, Richo backpedalling and trying to spell out what he thought he said, or BT verbally taking him down a peg and thinks its just a bit of gentle ribbing when it sounds like a inferiority complex rearing its head.

The only way Saturday night's commentary could get worse is Robert Walls doing special comments.

More Weapon action tonight for BT.

Oh Boy!!!

More Weapon action tonight for BT.

Oh Boy!!!

Could somebody please fill me in what this "weapon" stuff is all about? I keep asking but nobody will tell me!

 

[ToroHombre]

BT: "Heath Hocking, he's got a left foot, remember!"

*facepalm*

edit: A minute later: "Hocking, on his non-right side..."

 

[The Speaker]

Essendon's fitness guy.

 

[Ando727]

Essendon's fitness guy.

Ok thanks. Any idea why he was dubbed the weapon and who started it? Was it BT himself who named him that?

 

[Mentallo]

Nope.
Apparently he gave himself the nickname. Even answers the phone "Hello Weapon speaking"

 

[SydCrow]

one mans weapon is another mans tool

 

[Herbs]

Bloke is unbearable to listen to.

 

[Gongswan]

Unbearable bias toward Bombers in the call by both these dickheads, BT and Darcy, but then, teh Melbourne papers saying that Essendon let the Swans win, why would they do that? Are they trying to lull us into a false sense of security or something. We are Swans supporters, that won't work on us. Armpit sniffers, all Melbourne media

 

[Gongswan]

Surprisingly I don't think there was a single "wowee" last night, I'm happy to be proved wrong.

There was, just late in the game when it was frenetic, easy to miss, but I was waiting for it. ****ing tool of the year

 

[Elite Master]

Is it just me or does anyone cringe whenever BT constantly uses the word "as well"

The man's general vocabulary is seriously limited.

 

[MarkCatsFan]

He gets worse every week.

Can't wait till Richo finally loses it live on air. BT would probably cry

 

[Tassieboy]

I'm actually beginning to like Richo - he gives it a good ol' go. BT was one of my favourites, but he's now cringeworthy.

 

[kickazz]

I don't care much for his style, but I suppose that is a matte rof taste really.
The really bad thing is that he is so often wrong, doesn't know the rules, clearly has issues with his vision, etc. You need to at least get the basics right, and he doesn't.

 

[Starburns_]

My favourite part last night was in the last quarter. BT is calling and Hurley takes a mark on the defensive side of the wing, gives off the handball to the player running past who runs and kicks inside 50, apparently to Hurley.

Yeah, that was dumbfounding.

 

[AM]

Bloke is unbearable to listen to.

Yep! Innacurate as well.

 

[smiddy9]

BT is the man, makes the commentary good to listen to!

 

[2010premiership]

It doesn't get any better than BT, he's not for your namby pamby girly feelgood get in touch with yourself PC tree hugging guru humping big girls blouse wowsers.. he's for real men

 

[THE EQUALIZER]

I couldn't let this little beauty pass through to the keeper.

First quarter yesterday between Melbourne and Collingwood and Jordie McKenzie gets the ball unmarked. Taylor gets his name right, but then corrects himself and calls him Cheney.

Not only does Cheney play for another club, but hasn't played at the Demons for 3 years.

There were plenty of other stuff ups throughout the broadcast, but this one stuck out like the proverbial yesterday.

BT wasn't commentating yesterday...

Its normal for commentators to start to support the team coming from behind, despite the fact that i am convinced BT hates essendon and wowee the calder cannons football factory count was off the charts over the weekend. You would think there are no other stepping stone clubs, an essendon/sydney game Xavier could get a few mentions perhaps?

I am also sick of him second guessing the umpires when he is usually completely wrong.

Yeah, all real men run around yelling out Woweeeeeeee

 

[wotdoiput]

Was god awful again tonight... dribbling crap as he normall does. Highlighted by

"Carlton have cut into the lead... actually they lead by 3 points" and "Naitanui has but it thru... to the right"

Bloke is a peanut.
