All these Collingwood muppets calling BP supporting that Didak shouldn't be punished because he is a champion player and he was just a passenger.

theyre probably sick of opposition supporters sinking the boots in.
one guy yesterday in response to the north supporter on the run home came up with the classic comeback "we'll be around in 5 years time"

Go easy...

You'll like this one... MG had a writer from a US swimming magazine on who had made predictions in an article about the Aussies doing well in the pool. Half way through the interview, Billy asks him "you've got Tyson Gay in 3, Asafa Powell in 4, Usain Bolt in 5... who's going to win?". Tim and Andy had to tell Bill that the guy was only as swimming writer... made some very uncomfortable minutes. Then at the end of the interview Billy chips back in with, "well who do you think will win the 100m anyway?". The writer went on to say that he thinks Eamon Sullivan will win both the 50m and 100m...

I don't think that was a deliberate question from Billy. Got to admit I laughed, and it doesn't turn me off the show.

I'm sure the issue will come up that they should get some better presenters with a lower profile, but the reality is, that the station will get more listeners with these guys because of who they are and be better able to sell advertising.

Probably the same reason who'll find the last 4 Best Picture Oscar DVDs in the $12 bargain bin (true story), but Maid in Manhattan and The Wedding Planner in the premium section for $30...
 
All these Collingwood muppets calling BP supporting that Didak shouldn't be punished because he is a champion player and he was just a passenger.

Surely they couldn't have out done the Collingwood supporter I heard ring up SEN late monday night.He was asking why the incident with Graham Polak has hardly been mentioned.I think he was suggesting he was drunk.Then to top it off he said why aren't the two players that were with him [Cleve Hughes and Jordan McMahon ?] aren't in trouble.He said they were passengers.

What a dipstick.First off didn't Polak get out of a taxi and walk into the path of the tram?
Secondly weren't the other two players still in the taxi?

BT was saying exactly that on The Back Page on Fox Sports last night. Not that he would be biased towards Collingwood at all!

ManBearPig I think you are wrong about SEN getting more listners with MG having high profile hosts. Those ratings there were just posted got Mark Doran with higher ratings than MG. I don't even bother listening to MG anymore. They don't give you many laughs and Andy Maher is to annoying. :thumbsd:
I don't think they are pretending to be stupid either.

That is bloody disgraceful.:thumbsd:
 
Heard that mupper as well. There's a huge difference between crossing the road and getting hit by a tram and driving a car while 3 times over the limit.

With the "Didak was just a passenger", well considering his history and the fact he did a runner and lied/hid the truth to everyone concerned should be enough to get himself punished.

The defence of "he's our best player" is extremely weak. I would like to know what these muppets thought of the West Coast Eagles and Ben Cousins saga from last season.
 
Well done to finey for his result in the ratings. the man obviously tries hard and is the best presenter on the station IMO

We have been over this ratings issue many times. Ratings are a proportion of listeners, not a raw value. Less listeners by far during the afternoon than in the drive periods.

Probably wouldn't affect you or me, but there would be people out there who would choose to listen to Tim, Billy and Andy because of who they are. If you had three very good presenters who weren't TV or football personalities, I'm sure you wouldn't get as many listeners.

Its like if you are making a movie, if you put Jennifer Lopez in it it will rate its pants off, but you get a better trained actress without the profile, no one would watch it.

Anyone listening to the Flame Game?

Any idea if the show will be each night of the games?

I hope not. I love watching the Olympics but listening to news about it doesn't interest me because I'll admit I'm not a huge fan of some of the sports in the Olympics. I just like the hype and prestigue surrounding the events and would rather listen to football news on SEN.
I suppose I'm like Doran in regards to the Olympics. I know nothing about it but act like I'm the biggest fan during the big events.

I usually have the radio on during the day/overnight because either at uni or in bed, so no access to a television.

During Olympics time, I usually alternate between SEN and ABC.

Umm, if this is teh show hosted by Dave Culbert, Matt Thompson and Christine Ahern, then all 3 will be working in Beijing during the games.

Not to mention the fact that the actual events will be on at the time.
