FTA-TV Basil Zempilas- Commentary TIPS

[Private Hudson]

Robert Walls for expert analysis and you have a home run

Just give him a run in the ruck.

 

[Hawthorn United]

Did anyone else here him say something about a wce player having long eyes. Then the play continued on for another 15 seconds and they we're discussing something and you hear basil say "good poker face". No context and nothing to do with the play/what the other commentators were talking about.

I just know it was re the long eyes comment. Basil makes me want to self harm.

Yeah was an Eagles player from a kickout I think. He shaped to go long but ended up kicking it 30m to an open target.

That equates to being a good poker face.

It's like when a footy player soccers through a goal, and a commentator saying "Leo Messi, eat your heart out!"

 

[Elite Master]

He's trying so so hard to be the next Dennis Cometti.

"Where was he when the Socceroos needed him?!"

0:10 - "That may be one of the most acrobatic spoils we've ever seen!"

 

[Cleavy]

not sure if Basil replacing Andrew O'Keefe as Weekend Sunrise co-host is the worst thing ever, but I would be happier if neither of them were on my tv.

If it means less of him on the football it's a great thing.

 

[GreekLunatic]

He actually did a good job

 

[Zarrix]

Exactly, he isn't the worst news anchor/host , but he is the worst sports commentator on the planet.

 

[Elite Master]

I want Basil back on Footy Central, certainly much better then that unfunny smug ranger, and that also means no Basil commentating.

 

[Beerfish]

Saturday night Basil.. fml

 

[Teagueeee15]

How could you mistake Whitfield for Plowman twice?

 

[greekstyler]

Did anyone else hear him keep saying "Congratulations" in the post-match interviews with Kelly and Patton? They didn't win the game!

 

[mcfly7]

I liked the story about Menegola cleaning his car

 

[Elixuh]

Harsh, how is he supposed to know that???

 

[theyellowsash]

Bwuce still worse

 

[Redline]

Must be working 7 days a week at the moment with the radio job, calling football and filling in on Sunrise. Adding in all the flying time he wouldn't be spending much time at home.

Should scale back his commitments to stay home more often, starting with his weekends.

 

[PastiesPeake]

I like Basil, brings excitement to the game.

We've got a modern day Columbo on our hands here.

 

[TBellicious]

Thought Plowman played well in the Cats Giants game.

******* idiot, what's he still doing in a job

His family must be happy.

 

[basashi]

Basil doesn't know what a downfield free kick is. he keeps referring to them as 50 m penalties.
