Why does everyone hate BT

Probably the best footy commentators are the ones with no-frills calling, they just describe the play as it is unfolding, name the players involved in the play. I like Eddie Maguire calling for that reason.

You ****ing joking? Eddie used to be a good commentator. These days he seems to be more interested in doing his BT impersonation and the quality of his commentary has dropped dramatically. There is nothing no-frills about him. He goes nuts and yells bullshit into the microphone to the point you need to turn off the TV.

I don't hate him but seriously, it's as if he commentates in another language!

"BOY OH BOY WOOOWWWWEEEEE, DID YOU SEE THAT RICHO!!!!!"
"BIIIIG BOOOOY MACCCCEEEVVVVVOOOYYY!!!!"
"THE CHIZZZZLLAAA'
"KICKS A BANANANANANANA"
"ALLLIIII-PPPAAA-TTTEEE CAAAAARRRRLLIILLLE"
etc. etc. etc. ...

I hope you're joking. BT caters to the lower class bogans of AFL. There needs to be a 'press red for non bogan commentary button' so I can watch AFL in peace.

Wow a Hawks supporter hating on poor people turning this into a class war, how unusual, go back to sipping your latte in Camberwell :rolleyes:

BT is hated for 3 reasons:

- Jealousy
- Tall poppy syndrome
- People who haven't achieved 1/20th of what BT has achieved in his life.

Simple as that.

Is that you Brian? :rolleyes:

You know a person can dislike something/somebody for a myriad of different reasons. Saying it all comes down to jealousy is pretty outrageous.

Well three people accused me of being Brian so the "trolling" can't be that bad. The fact is I actually like Brian and the Bigfooty mob mentality is well in force here.

Not sure what I said about Freo to get you so upset though.

Just because I think Brian brings a bit of excitement to the game doesn't mean I'm actually Brian Taylor or even related to Brian Taylor.

Australia is known for tall poppy syndrome and Bigfooty is one of the biggest exponents of it.
 
On 7, BT is clearly instructed to act the way he does. If you watch him commentating on Fox before Channel 7:
(Pardon the Essendon videos, couldn't think of any other games off the top of my head)

And on MMM:

You'll notice there's none of that "WOW WEE WHAT ABOUT THIS HERE THEY COME WHAT A GAME WOW WEE", he actually calls the Football.

1. Channel 7 is a TV channel. People listening to the radio are generally in the car, and there isn't much else on, and you'll listen to the football no matter what.
2. On Fox and radio there are no ads between goals. There is no need for them to try and get people to continue watching, as you can't stop them changing channels at the end of the quater. Fox got its money in its subscribers, so it doesn't matter if you watch or not. Radio - everyone in a car listens to Radio, they really don't need to do anything.
3. Channel 7 need to keep viewers interested, even when the game is totally sealed. He is trying to get the more casual viewers to stay around. I remember in the Dreamtime game in 2013 or 2014 BT was during the 4th quater "HERE COME THE TIGERS, DO NOT GO AWAY, THEY ARE COMING!" as they were about 4 or 5 goals down and had kicked 2 in a row or something. The next morning I watched Game Day and the first thing BT said about the Dreamtime game was "Richmond were never in the game." He's there to keep people interested when the game is long over.

Now if we could get a commentary team of Anthony Hudson and Rex Hunt, that would be good.

McGuire's barracking against any team not in Victoria is atrocious, he's one of the few that are that bad that I resort to using the mute.

He was shockingly pro-Carlton against Adelaide a number of weeks back & if it annoyed me as Port fan that says something.

Why does everyone hate bt or anyone who brings enthusiasm.

From that wce game vs melbourne game the commentators there were so BORING. Seriously did anyone else fall asleep with that commentary team?

Even thought BT may barrack for a team every now and then it is better then a boring dwayne (or whoever commentated the wce vs melbourne game).

Seriously Brian Taylor doesn't put me to sleep he is actually enthusiastic.

It's not even down to the circumstances of Channel 7 being free to air, it;s simply Channel 7 encouraging him to be God awful for some reason. Watching Chooseday Night Football where he commentated on Nine in 2006, he was hardly noticeable among Garry, Brayshaw and Dennis. He simply called the game, and quite well at that. I don't know why by 7 have totally screwed a once half decent commentator with stupid directives to be idiotic and surround him with halfwits.

On Fox: "The Saints just casually pick the targets off here, with great composure."
On 7: "WOW WEE ESSENDON HAVE LOOSE MEN EVERYWHERE HERE COMES KOZI , WOW WEE WHAT A GAME"

Yep. Nailed it. Flawless, saintlike commentator, given a bad reputation out of spite by the masses. Calling players ****tas and coming up with stuff like 'big boner Brown' has nothing to do with it.

I haven't seen a lot of his most recent work on Fox, he used to be very good when he was on C9.
