Why does everyone hate BT

[TurboBreuster]

Channel 7 need to be more like other professional sports and have professional commentators. Save the 'Good Footy Blokes' for the special comments.

 

[Andrew Mc]

Hate him? Nah. But I won't listen to him commentate on TV. Less is more, a concept he knows nothing about.

 

[oldsouthman]

fascinating. It's the No 1 thing I look for in a commentator.

Glad to fascinate you

 

[Roobs321]

Enjoying BT on C7 Saturday nights is a definite deal breaker for me. I can't imagine coming across such a person IRL, it's that reprehensible.

 

[Reagan Smash]

Is he really saying Big Boner Brown?

Yes .

 

[Banker]

Because he supports Freo.

 

[caitsith01]

Oh, so many reasons:

1. Braying/yelling
2. Random invention of moronic nicknames
3. Generally low intelligence
4. Constantly gets player names wrong
5. Constantly tries to engage in stupid banter with other morons in commentary box
6. Repetitive crap like "Calder cannons footy factory"
7. Habit of describing what is happening as follows: "X gets the ball and says 'get out of my way, I'm better than you!!!'"
8. Homophobe
9. Basic inability to describe simple events as they happen in front of him

I could go on.

I hate this so much! How many times a game do you think he says it? 5? 10?

They commentate together on Triple M and seem amiable enough. In fact it's a decent combo.

Wonder why Ch.7 don't use that combo at all ? BT seems fairly tranquilized when Bruce is next to him in the box, compared to his commentating manner with the Saturday night circus. Sure BT could use an even better, calming influence in Dennis.

 

[Dr Awkward]

I rate BT better than most. Dwayne Russel is unbearable

 

[ApplecrossWC]

Jealousy is a curse Bigfooty. The keyboard warriors on here love taking pot shots at people who have achieved way more in their lifetime than they can even dream about. It's actually quite sad!

 

[Docker Alyssa]

And he spent the whole game supporting Fremantle and going on and on and on about Michael ****ing Barlow.

What you got against the ball magnet?

I'm really sad that BT now has to "share" the SNF commentary with Darce. Can't we all agree the old format was better? Even if it was filled with some "padding" about players haircuts, nicknames, insider info on players and their gf's, tangential musings, and bringing up the Calder Cannons footy factory every time a player came from there.

Isn't Luke Darcey NOT participating in play-by-play a better outcome????

Afterall, BT's attempts to create humour and his general antics in the sole commentary role is WHY Darce got in.

I say take the bad for the overall good. Plus I think he be trollin BF and the haters when he says all his catchphrases and pronounces names really oddly (which I especially like).

"A-la-patty Carrr-lyyyy-le"

"Claaanceeeee Peeaarrce"

 

[Paranoid]

BT can crack me up listening to his commentating after a game or on youtube or whatever (NANANANA). But during a game it's just annoying, feels like he should be over with JB and Garry commentating the EJ Whitten match.

I'm watching the prelim between Hawks and Port atm and he actually isn't bad when he takes it seriously

Isn't it possible that some people just think he's bad at his job? If I watch a movie and don't like it, is it because I'm jealous of the director?

 

[Psi-Roos]

Big Boner Brown was outstanding. His nicknames are the best

Me thinks you have a jealousy issue.

Is that what he called Big Bobby Brown?

 

[bigfarter]

Me thinks you have a jealousy issue.

Hehe, methinks you may be a grown adult who spends his Sunday trolling people online. I know somebody I'm not jealous of!

Methinks you wish you were me.

Its pronounced derrrrrrrwayne russel

 

[EagleMan87]

"Look at Ballantyne. Will he take him on? He looks at Rivers and says 'You're a little old, I'm young and I'm sneaky!' Around one; aims, lets it rip! Oh Ballantyne! He just looked at Rivers and said 'I have got you covered Jarryd! You are not the same that I am!'"

Wut?

Wut?

Yes, just proves he's a jibbering idiot.

He just overdoes the boys club, smart arse stuff. If the game is an ordinary one, then its fair enough to liven it up a bit. But he goes off his head when the game just needs some footy commentary. He cant help himself. He tries to show off & its embarrassing how stupid he can be.

This x 1000.

Having an entire broadcast in the hands of former players is just a terrible idea. Half of them can't even string together proper sentences.

Also anybody around here who actually thinks BT is a good commentator is part of the problem. He's the lowest of the low.

 

[Kram]

His commentary for that Ballantyne goal was great.

 

[Tas]

I found him hilarious when he was on MMM pre-match, the chemistry just worked really well and it was entertaining to have some laughs before the game.

However, when calling football I think the average viewer doesn't want to be entertained by the caller, they want the game itself to entertain so when a caller has stupid sayings they repeat all the time or are over-the-top it grates on the viewers.

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.
