This isn't footy related, but during the cricket about 15 years ago, around when the 12th Man was massive.

Australia was playing a one dayer against Sri Lanka, and one of the Aussie quicks caught the edge of the bat and it flew to between the keeper and 1st slip, caught by Mark Taylor, but given "not out".

Anyway, Bill Lawrie said he didn't hit it, Tony Grieg said he did, and they argued back and forth for a few mins. Tony Grieg then says, whilst the reply is showing, "Look you pidgeon lover, you can see the red mark on his bat where he nicked it". Bill Lawry started laughing, and in a dead ringer for the 12th Man Bill Lawry said "There using a white ball, Tony you idiot".

Funniest sporting exchange i have ever heard, god i wish i could find it on Youtube!
cant remember who said it but someone said "Hes Usually A Good Puller But This Time He Just Couldnt Get It Up"

I haven't read back through the whole thread so I don't know if this one's already been mentioned, but it should be - Jack "Captain Blood" Dyer commentating one fine day, referring to a tackle: "...he wrapped his arms around him like a pair of giant testicles..." Yeah, to those who know it it's an oldie, but one that will live forever:D

Commetti ...again...man this guy has a lot...said something like...

He just seems to know its there even when he can't see it. Like a man searching for his car keys.

Had a good chuckle at that one.

Im starting to wonder if she researches like... anything? Because she is responsible for so many comments where you end up scratching your head wondering what the hell she is on about.

I just love it when all game long they sing the praises for a team. Then this team loses and then they try to hide it by talking up players that they hardly mentioned thoughout their whole call.
Egg on their faces. :)

That followed her ridiculous comment about how wonderfully welcoming the Chinese people had been. 'Totally unexpected' according to Wilson, who obviously has stereotypes off pat. Appallingly ignorant.

When they're not belting us, NZ
Remember once that someone asked Malcolm Blight for a comment regarding a passage of play and he just made a noise like he was choking - sounded all the world like a beer went down the wrong way. Sometimes I think "Blighty" can't handle the confines of the box and goes stir-crazy and needs "refreshment":)
 
What is it with Sydney based news outlets reporting on AFL?

Reminds me of Tim Webster on Sports Tonight telling everyone that "Nathan Buckley had resigned". He meant to say re-signed.

Or he was 20 years ahead of time :oops:
