Had a laugh at A Rod getting stroppy with everyone on the SMS last night for bagging out BB.

"It's 3am in the morning. If we can't have 10 minutes of fun at 3am in the morning ... we can't talk sport TWENTY FOUR SEVEN"

evidently not hard to be a footy expert these days

If GWS next year are able to win the contested footy, hit their targets and take their chances infront of goal, they'll be premiers.

Serious note, I've been hearing alot of Collingwood supporters calling in lately saying they'll be able to beat us in the big one because we won't be able to play the chip chipping uncontested footy. We have barely played that all year! That's our plan B if we lose control of the game, we start doing that.

Finey mentioned that he has own personal troll on Big Footy , named them as Adelaide_Hawk , and referred to this post


I listened to Mark Fine for the first time last night. OMG, is he always like that? What is he on? I couldn't stand it and had to turn it off. Poor callers, he wouldn't let them get a word in, always cutting them off after a few words. The caller would start to make a point, and Finey would interject crapping on about some SMS he received about an unrelated subject.

One caller was trying to talk about a match he was at, and Finey kept jumping in saying things like, "hotdogs and chips are very poor quality at the football!!!", etc. Cutting a caller off to talk about something else is just plain rude.

My observations are he is totally self absorbed and disrespectful to his callers and listeners. Totally boring piece of crap. I won't be listening again.

Nice tribute to the late , Wayne from Geelong , in the current issue of the Geelong Independent

TRIBUTES have flowed for a man who sent 22,537 texts to sports radio station SEN, earning the moniker Wayne from Geelong.


Wayne Fairbrother called the station daily until his death by natural causes at home in North Geelong on September 9. He was 44.


Mr Fairbrother often called the station during his shifts driving taxis to discuss his love of the Geelong Cats.

His brother, David, told the Independent Mr Fairbrother died peacefully while listening to the radio.


“He was in his comfort zone when he passed.”


David Fairbrother remembered his brother as a “kind person with the gift of the gab”.


“He always knew interesting things other people didn’t, especially about football.”

Mr Fairbrother said his brother’s collection of Cats memorabilia was large enough to “open a museum”.


Wayne served in the army for 20 years and also worked at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.


SEN listeners flooded Twitter with tributes after learning of Mr Fairbrother’s death.


Tweeter ‘@MarkFromBacchus’ dubbed him an “SEN legend”.


“Your allegiance to the Geelong [football club] was everlasting and uncompromising. We will miss you,” the tweet read.


Another tweeter, @LeedsHeartWhite, wrote: “What a horrible, horrible day. Always enjoyed his calls on SEN. Great guy”.


A third, @MickeyDansey, described Mr Fairbrother as “one of the characters of radio”.


SEN host Darren Parkin fondly remembered meeting Mr Fairbrother, who he described as a “bubbly, mad Cats supporter”.


“Wayne used to call every day to talk about sports,” Mr Parkin said.


“He’d always make jokes. He was fairly lighthearted about sports but he loved talking about it.”


Mr Parkin said Mr Fairbrother was the longest-serving sender of text messages to SEN.


“It’s a big loss to the SEN community. He was a part of every one of our shows and it just won’t be the same without him.”


Mr Fairbrother is survived by his mother, Barbara, four siblings and daughter Siobhan.

Someone sent me a conversation telling me about this.

Let me just say this to "Finey". Go back and find any other comment I've made about you. You won't find one because I never listen to your program. I just happened to tune in one night and you were carrying on like someone I don't care to know, so I switched off.

For you to be upset about one thread on BigFooty indicates you have a problem. You put yourself in the public domain, not everyone's going to like you, I certainly don't. If you can't handle a bit of criticism, then you're in the wrong game. It's gratifying to know I have annoyed you because for that 10-15 minutes I listened, you certainly annoyed the hell out of me.

Now go and sook about this on air you turkey.

Just what we need, thin skinned radio presenters. :rolleyes:
 
Me too...but god, he carried on like a pork chop about the trolls..

For the 10-15 minutes I listened, that's an apt description of him, "carried on like a pork chop". He was just rude that night, people were trying to talk, and he would cut them off to comment on a totally unrelated subject that someone had txd him. If he's always like that, he deserves to be trolled.
