No, with social media these days and Port fans are passionate,” Smitho has told FIVEaa. “People accuse me of not liking Port Adelaide Football Club...
“I am a Crows member, yes, and have been for many years, but if the Crows aren’t there I certainly want Port to do as well as possible. I’m passionate about South Australian teams. When port won the grand final 10 years ago I couldn’t have been happier, I was absolutely barracking for them.
“This was completely different to on field football.”
“The player was of no consequence in terms of the question I was asking,” Smitho said. “I just wanted to get to the truth of what happened, and to a large degree to defend Channel 7’s position, which had been based on what a complainant told us.”
“That’s what news is all about and if you don’t ask those questions you don’t get to the truth, and it’s as simple as that.”

He's literally a figure head who gets wheeled out - weekend at bernie's style - to tell us how good the game is going.

GOLD!

“That’s what news is all about and if you don’t ask those questions you don’t get to make love to the goat, and it’s as simple as that.”

which had been based on what a complainant told us

With out fact checking.

Remember:
chick chick boom girl



Later she admitted she made it up.

When port won the grand final 10 years ago I couldn’t have been happier, I was absolutely barracking for them.

* you Smithson, you transparent, goat-*******, troll.

Nathan Broad suspension should have been longer than three matches

No it shouldn't have. Richmond's punishment was perfectly adequate and Broad was clearly remorseful and embarrassed. Drew attention to the issue on a societal level and the backlash set a pretty clear standard for young men as to what is acceptable..

* off ya piece of trash!.

He should've been booted from that presser after his 2nd question!!!!.

 

[Pappagallo]

Hahahaha report whatever sensational s**t you come across with complete disregard for the truth (or justice) and then claim to be the guardians of it when you’re called out.

F@&k. Off.

 

[Steve Dore]

So Smithson just wanted to get to the truth of what happened.

He's never let the truth get in the way of an opportunity to smear Port before.

Copped a little flak have you Mikey? Defend the indefensible you flog. You get what you deserve.

 

[RossFC]

Is Mike Smithson the guy that was on Ryders property going through his bins? More of a superfan than us, if so.

Lol. Don't even try and sugar coat it, "Smitho". We don't even want your support.
Why don't you go and hide out in Taylah's bins for #balance

What a sniveling little goat shagger (allegedly).

Bwa hahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Comedy gold!

 

[Portmagpies36]

What a sniveling little goat shagger (allegedly).

You are incorrect about the little part.

 

[Portmagpies36]

When Smithson uttered the words,
'I am a Cows Member"
That says it all.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

'i am a crows member, yes......'

now we know why you acted like a rude, arrogant, grotty piece of s**t at the press conference.

 

[snozulu]

What a sniveling little goat shagger (allegedly).

Insult to goats if you ask me.

Man I hate those "I want both SA teams to do well" dipshits it's a symptom of not having real Club ties/loyalty.. throw em' all in a pit of fire it's not SoO you derpwads

Why would we accept this or any other of his reasonings as truth? Cos he said it?

 

[jakey]

Can we stop assuming Gill actually does any form of work?

He's literally a figure head who gets wheeled out - weekend at bernie's style - to tell us how good the game is going.

If he does any form of work (which is highly debatable) it's to get others to delegate the actual work into subsidiary departments who have little to no understanding of what they are meant to do other than the title he came up with for them and their absurd pay checks.

The moment something isn't going fantastically he slinks back into the shadows like the shrinking violet he truly is.

Rules? Not my problem. Integrity? Not my problem. Women's Football? Not my problem. Sexual Harassment in my workplace? Not my problem... etc, etc.

But...

Announce record crowds? I'll do that! Open new stadiums? I'll do that! Smack other clubs instead of actually giving assistance? I'll do that! Appear to be helping Tasmania? I'll do that!

He sits in his oversized office, in his tailor made chair, behind an obscenely overpriced antique desk, playing with his obnoxious ring, waiting for all of the bad news to go away.

Gill always comes across to me like he's as surprised as anyone else that he's the boss.

Keeping it in the family - Smithson pretending he's all sweetness and light in an interview with the radio station that's never going to ask him the hard questions.

That's about the biggest lie I've ever heard. A lot easier to believe that he has a soft spot for goats.
