The official Sandy Roberts hatred thread

[davey_magik]

Leave the box you old fool. I don't mind a little bit of Aussie bias, but frankly you have no idea outside Dokic and have given no credit to Safina all night. You have done the same every match and you have NFI about tennis.

GTFO

 

[CHBench]

Stop breathing in my tv you twit.

 

[red+black]

Apparently Dokic's boyfriend is the one with the cap, Tin Bikic.

And she played Dinara Safin tonight

****ing idiot

 

[Hot Spenny]

I have a genuine hate for the man.

EDIT: Somebody needs to find that video for me...I can't remember exactly, but I think it was something like him calling a woman by the name Dicks instead of Cox?

 

[Xtreme]

He's a nice guy and i've enjoyed his input (football commentary) in the past, don't watch the golf coverage enough to judge. But i think he is not useful with the tennis coverage.

He, like Chris Dittmar are just there to anchor the coverage and let the experts provide their analysis. But i hate how Sandy constantly states the obvious (catering to the dumb/clueless viewers i guess) and brings out the meaningless stats book

There was a time back in the late 1990s when he was calling an AFL match and when the two ruckmen were jostling for the throw-in he said 'Like two praying mantis making love'.

WTF

 

[JuddyBuddy]

All Sandy does is spit out stats. Has no idea about the technicalities of the sport.

 

[chickens_law]

I reckon his best line is 'Oh my hat'.

I also think hes trying to befriend Tracey Auston.

 

[alfy!]

He is alright, not the best commentator. Not the worst though, so I have no problem with him.

 

[grimlock]

He can't commentate on the footy, and he's even worse in the tennis. Just makes stupid, banal comments and can't even get half of them correct.

And Sandy's a girl's name FFS.

 

[Thursfieldness]

"brothers in arms"

 

[aaronm46]

Was he the one that said

''Leanne *****, im mean Leanna Dicks!''

 

[robaba]

Just F..k Off and leave him alone.
He's an Aussie icon. I love the man.
He's simple and honest, not a try hard like half the Nein cricket commentators.
If you lot are so clever why aren't you on TV?

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

This is not Sandy, but a similar gaff.

I loved it during the Beijing opening ceremony when Switzerland entered and Bruce was talking about the Fed's chances and the other big names competing.

Sandy pipes up "don't forget Lleyton!"

I'm still laughing.

 

[SunKing]

He's an Aussie icon.

Let's not go nuts
Thanks for your input anyway Sandy

 

[that_dood]

Sandy really should not be doing Tennis. But he should be back on the footy commentary team as he really knows his stuff RE: footy.

But tennis he doesn't have a clue.

PS: Just for the record which brother was the boyfriend?

 

[pinkus maximus]

I am no fan. Why can't they use someone with tennis knowledge? Oh and I hate the way he whispers the score in between serves

 

[Kaan]

He said Lleyton was a top 20 player week in week out a few days ago

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Was someone else playing last night, you wouldn't know?

Sandy is annoying for so many reasons already mentioned. I call him Captain Obvious, for pointing out the obvious as much as possible (like 0-40........."she needs to get the next point here").

 

[likka]

I like Sandy.

He's good covering the golf, enjoy listening to him calling the tennis, and would rather see him calling the footy with Dennis instead of Bruce.

He and Tracey Austin gel very well together, especially compared with the cluster**** that is Chris Dittmar.

 

[Brad Goodman]

Has no idea about the technicalities of the sport.

He's not supposed to.

Geez... I hope his wife isn't watching, he's laying it on heavy at the moment.

 

[scooterb]

Did anyone hear him say "Oh my god" in the American accent when Sarena Williams lost the first set. Cringe worthy face palm.

 

[Chops_a_must]

I just love the way any sentence talking about it being hot, or about the talent is being followed up with a personal comment about Tracy.

Very subtle.
