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

Did you know that Krakouer is the MCG specialist? FFS!:thumbsdown:

No I don't, because I need to hear a bit of information 20 times in one night before I remember it and Taylor only said it 17 times.
 
BT: "Oh Boy, wowee! The MCG Specialist from the Football Factory strips the ball from the Human Meatball and splits the sticks, oh boy, the Weapon!!
Darce: "Hmm, yes, it seems to me that the ball is being kicked down there. This may be indicative of a football game ... very interesting".
BT: "Wowee Lukey D, you are certainly paid to make the special comments!! Oh boy!!

I assume you are speaking in millions?

Brian Taylor is officially the worst commentator on TV.

I would rather listen to Kelli Underwood

LOL! Big call. As much as i didn't enjoy KU as a commentator (I think she was better suited to perhaps a special comments role instead), i think she is by far more tolerable that BT.

Angus Mon-FREEZE.

Please shut up, Brian Tay-LOR!

lol'd. :thumbsu:

The Harry Taylor thing has been discussed, but I want to touch on another comment of his which really highlights his insensitive nature. At half time of the Collingwood v Geelong game, Daniel Menzel was on the boundary line with Lingy talking about his knee injuries, specifically about how he is dealing with having blown both ACL's, the second one 20 minutes into his first VFL game back. BT the fcukwit chimes in telling young Dan "You know that you're going to need two knee replacements in about 30 years don't you?".

To Darcy and Richo's credit, they were both seemingly unimpressed, but BT's reaction to the condemnation he recieved from those two was staggering. Instead of admitting he was out of line for what he said to a kid obviously battling some mental demons from his injuries, BT being the arrogant pr!ck that he is just goes on to plead his case about being correct. His reactions of "what, what, I am right aren't I?" were baffling to say the least, as he just couldn't come to terms with how out of line he was.

Here's a tip for you BT you ignorant git, just because you have something 'right' to say, doesn't mean you have the right to say it. You don't go up to someone who's in a wheelchair and say "your legs are fcuked" or tell someone with Cerebral Palsy that motor skills would not be one of their strong points just because your comment may well be factually correct. So in this case BT, it wasn't necessary to tell young Dan something that he would have already been made aware by his surgeon.

Here, here!

I wish Channel 7 would fob this idiot off. Absolutely grates on me. I agree with a couple of other comments in this thread that he has easily overtaken Dwayne Russell as the worst commentator doing the rounds. Absolute flog.

I live in the UK so unfortunately whenever i get the opportunity to watch a Saturday night game it's ALWAYS BT, i don't have the option of muting the TV whilst finding a radio with alternative commentary.

Last night he said something like - John McCarthy used to play for Collingwood and now he plays for Port Adelaide - sounded awkward.

PS I just want this thread to keep going in the vain hope that in some small way it might contribute to Channel 7 ditching this guy for next year. And Darcy. Off a cliff, into the ocean, tied in a bag.

It really is amazing how competent they make Richo and Lingy sound. Although that might also be because those two actually follow footy and have some insight into the way the game is played. Hell, they even make that Basil whateverhisnameis sound good.

I have more respect for the ABC VFL commentary team than these two clowns.

It is laughable that Channel 7 payed Millions of $$$$ for broadcast rights, and have a guy like Brian Taylor - who fails to utter a legitimite comment on the match except for OH BOY and WOWEE - as their no.1 commentator for saturday night footy.

Channel Seven should do a swapover next year with the ABC team, as BT and Darcy are diminishing the credibility of AFL commentary, and are turning into a complete mockery.

Couldn't agree more. I've heard better commentary watching Country Footy League matches on Channel 31 than the Channel 7 muppets.

I actually think BT for all his crap, .. footy factory, ...wowee etc is better than LD, at least he can be quite funny at times.

His blue poweraide joke about Jobe watson was actually very funny

BT is just a narcissistic, patronising bully.

Most of his commentary is just him trying to score points over Darcy and Richo rather than calling the game.
