Bruce + Taylor is like noted comedy duo Morcambe & KATHY GRIFFIN

It's an improvement - Bruce just called Taylor out as being annoying. If the season ends with him calling Taylor a campaigner on air then it'll be the best team 7 has had since 2000.

Never heard Bruce say anything like that about a fellow commentator, BT's charm wearing thin

I wasn't even paying full attention to the game when Bruce said it but that caught my attention. Had a good laugh because you really do never hear Bruce saying something like that. BT is extremely annoying.

My dislike of BT comes from how much of a pain in the ass he is when it comes to commentating on umpires.

"THERE'S NO REASON FOR THE UMPIRE TO TALK TO HIM THERE"

Well actually toss pot if the players carrying on like a ****** the umpires right to tell him to reign it in.

BT is spot on actually. Umpires should stick to umpiring and stop coaching.

BT bashes umps too easily. It's like he's always looking for a chance to lay into one. You can almost hear the relish in his shouting whenever he starts teeing off.

I never said anything remotely resembling an umpiring coaching. I'm referring to dumbass players who carry on like pork chops after clearly giving away free kicks. BT carries on like its a sin the umpires tell the players to stop abusing them.

But while we're at it why doesn't he say the same thing about players then?

They should stick to playing and stop telling the umpires what to do.

Grant Thomas put it pretty well when he said that umpires should check their egos at the gate.
That said, abusing umpires, whether it be by players or crowd, is pretty rank... it is little wonder why it is a struggle to get umpires at community level. I mean, who wants to rock up to work and get abused my meatheads and customers all day?
 
I far prefer BT's commentary over some of the others on 7. At least with BT, there is no incredibly bias commentary. In our game against Geelong, it was like someone died in the commentary box when Daniher kicked the sealer after everyone got excited by Geelong's run.
 
Selwood is in trouble I reckon Judging off Rance's hit on Watts last year (which was a very similar elbow).
Rance got two weeks, I expect Selwood will probably get something close to that.

Not forgetting that even the very elite umps then have to go worry about a day job. Thinking about it, abuse is only one of the factors why ump numbers are so low, but it i$ conveniently the only one the league focus on.
