Footy Show

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

we got a lone wielder of a PC brush, and a rising chorus of activists voices. I'll raise youse the old tried and true PC brigade, thats who done it.

It'd be interesting to see a year-by-year chart of ratings and pinpoint the Sam Newman incident that started the rot.

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

Absolutely, they didn't realise how important Trevor was to the show. Trevor's quick jokes are similar to what we get now on the Front Bar so why was he shafted? The panel just did not work and the background laughter by panel members to comments that weren't really that funny, was really annoying. If they try again they might be better having a panel of ex-footballers who also have some personality but where are they?

One of the funniest moments was when Harry Beitzel (a man who did a lot of great things for football) was a guest following a prison stint for defrauding an elderly couple of their Soccer Pools winnings. Harry's leaving the set when Trevor calls out, "Hey Harry, you forgot your car keys!" and holds up a coat hanger.

Maybe after 20 years of Sam talking to drunks, intellectually disabled, bogans, morons and the ill at ease in street talk became just a touch boring?

You’re comfortable mocking the intellectually disabled?

You’re comfortable mocking the intellectually disabled?

I remember them beaming with happiness.

I wish I was more of a gentleman like the Sam Newmans of the world. Knowing how to connect respectfully with the lowest common denominators in society should be a celebrated skill, not a trigger warning. It takes a genuine human connection to do what Sam did every week IMO.

Yep. Don't see how people rate Sam as a bastard compared to some we still see in footy media....

Different story off-screen than on.

He mocked everyone, you don’t want him to treat them equally?

To be fair though, Newman always maintained he never approached anyone for street talk and only spoke to those who came up and talked to him.

Having seen it filmed a couple of times that matches what I saw.

You’ll be surprised by the number of nuffies who run over when they see a camera crew on the streets.
Like moths to a light.

 

[tigersnake]

Why?

me. obviously. Newman made money being a racist sexist buffoon. I don't like that. I told him so to his face.

 

[Tigerfan]

Yeah, the Ill at ease, drunks, bogans, intellectually disabled etc shouldn’t be spoken to...

The Ill at ease ruin it for all the others.

 

[Tigerfan]

I’ve had decades feeling ill at ease watching richmond.

 

[Mr Brightside]

Not the footy show , however Coons seems a good fella, however I doubt his going to have a long career in the media

 

[leon]

So hope you have become accustomed to it. I predict you'll become quite ill at ease this evening.

That's how I see things going.......confidence rock bottom.
