They still contain nicotine as far as I know.

oh. hmmm, i dont know much about cigs so my opinion is not educated. ill bow to those who know.

 

[WALDENPOND]

I heard Finey say during the week that he was using the electronic cigarettes

Ah ok, I must admit it was quite some time since I heard the quitting statement.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

So do nicotine patches. I think they are used to help you quit smoking in the same way that nicotine patches are. No idea of their efficacy but if Finey said he was trying to quit and is now using the electronic cigarettes I would think this might be part of his programme to try and achieve this.

 

[bedford]

He umpired today and had no smokes, and umpires very well

 

[Collingwood 4 eternity]

Howard Leigh should have done that new "And they said Yes" Optus ad that Josh Thomas does on TV

Yes , yep , yes , yeah , yes , yep , yes , yes , yes , yep , yes , yes , yes

I posted about this when it happened in December 2012
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/the-sen-thread-10.930422/page-77#post-26678279
Here is the call that "Steve from Mitcham" wished leprosy upon Finey , Peaky , Teo and Robbo
http://audioboo.fm/boos/1115449-overdrive
Why do Sen put Steve from Mitcham to air ? Just ban him from going to air because he adds nothing constructive to any issue when you do let him on. Last night on air Steve from Mitchum denied that he ever said that he wished leprosy on and named the four presenters.
Finey and the rest of the team called him out big time and Steves response is to lie on air to them that it wasn't said by him
Listen to the actual audio of Steve from Mitchum making the leprosy wish for yourself call starts 1 minute in.

Ha, how did you get that (back then)? I reckon he was trying to be half funny, but it didn't come across the way he wanted.
It's safe to say that it's him. I gather he regrets it so he was trying to pretend it didn't happen, which is a bit dopey.

hosts love scandal in their talkback. they wont ban steve.

yep, conflict -- be it contrived or not -- makes for good copy

 

[peternorth]

[bedford]

Ormond v Old Camberwell reserves

 

[jaguaress]

Howard Leigh should have done that new "And they said Yes" Optus ad that Josh Thomas does on TV

Yes , yep , yes , yeah , yes , yep , yes , yes , yes , yep , yes , yes , yes

And thats just his philosophical comments.

 

[Atley]

What was said at the start of Fineys show tonight? He kept going on about it.

 

[bedford]

God help us Tony for a week, Denham on a Monday and now the Carp from Woodend is the 1st caller in

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Still preferable to Finey

 

[bedford]

No way, at least Finey has a knowledge of all sport. I wonder if the Carp has a direct line

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Yes, but he is a bully, which makes him unlistenable most of the time.

 

[bedford]

Well what is the goose that's on at the moment

 

[peternorth]

Well what is the goose that's on at the moment

i dont think beccsta is a bully

 

[bedford]

I meant unlistenable

 

[peternorth]

I meant unlistenable

ah ok

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

I meant unlistenable

Never mind, he's finished now and Harf is on

 

[bedford]

He's off from 2 to 3, then back on for the unfunny guy. Rohan Connelly is much better doing JYB, as he has footy knowledge

 

[Atley]

Think I will give Marko and Nathan Thompson a miss.

 

[Willo_]

Think I will give Marko and Nathan Thompson a miss.

Same
Hamish and Andy are back on drive for 2 weeks though so that was going to get me regardless of what else is on

 

[peternorth]

really enjoyed listening to RoCo this morning. although he knows where his bread is buttered (afl) he will still criticise the industry when it is warranted. some of his key points this morning included

- afl is becoming a soap opera
- people more interested in non footy related stuff i.e. off field drama
- dustin martin fined for speeding page 3 in herald sun. really? is this news???
- media are partly responsible for driving the afl machine
- monday morning chat used to be all about the games of footy. now its all about controversy
- afl is news everyday


great journo is RoCo. I think because he's a seasoned journo pro, and cut his teeth pre twitter days, he doesn't get sucked into all the BS that flies around these days.

twitter is such a massive storm it swallows everyone and everything. footy players (like everyone in general) are on it as there is a certain ego thing about it. news agencies follow them to get the "latest scoop". this isnt a scoop however, it is just media personnel getting into the machinations given everyone else is doing it.

 

[bedford]

My favourite journo going around , he's not a bullshit artist like Barrett and Robbo. SEN need to use him more.
