Radio The SEN Thread 5

[hoggy34]

Had to get up early for work this morning and caught the last 5 minutes of the "All night appetite" with Andrew Lowther.

He was reading live scores for the UEFA cup games and listening to him try and pronounce the names of the European teams was laughable.

Good on him for having a go but he was embarrasing. Thankfully I'm usually asleep whilst the overnight show is on...

Think Lowther does a pretty good job actually. He jokes himself about his pronunciation of what many would think are pretty obscure team names. And most likely, trying to string a coherent sentence together at that hour of the morning is an unenviable task. It's better that you got the bloody scores!

I don't know why there is this sentiment that the overnight show is rubbish. There is good coverage of the world of sport and I think they do a good job putting 6 hours of radio together.

 

[Slick Barry]

Surely he didn't!!Amazing how he barely mentioned a score during last seasons W/S,no aussies to be seen. He jumps on ANY BANDWAGON [vividly recall him at World cup games in 2006]

According to an ex-producer of his, took holidays during the 06 WC and bought tickets to a couple of games in Germany to firstly give the impression he'd been sent over there to cover it, therefore continuing the myth he's the man to be sent to the big events, and secondly claim the trip on tax.

You should have heard Schibeci try to pronounce the names of European teams (and players sometimes) during the overnight show I remember him pronouncing Udinese as "OO-DI-NEEZ"

 

[peternorth]

during the US open (tennis) an sen reporter kept refering to her ana ivanovic as ana "ivankovich"

Has replayed himself on a phone calling segments of Japan match many times.

was listening last night when out getting dinner, and I think the discussion was on successful irish sports people, and they cross to shitbeci at Gold coast Indy and he says

" I got a motorsport one for you! eddie irvine won the f1 world championship in 1999"

umm no he didn't shitbeci.

LMAO why did he think that, the mistakes some can make are

Quote of the week by Snoran: "The Rugby World Cup hasn't really gripped me yet"

Well if it doesn't have Roger Federer, Lleyton, Jon Steffenson or St Kilda, and isn't on TV before 8:30, fair chance it won't.

Surprised he knew it was on to be honest.

 

[Aker39]

He had a few callers ringing up today asking for Ernie Merrick to be sacked. He said that he doesn't really follow the A-League, but noticed that when ever the Victory lost a few in a row, that usually happened.

He only follows the Victory when they are playing in a Grand Final and he gets on the band wagon, just like the Rays.

Doran translated in latin means 'bandwagoner'.

Manbearpig in fine form as always. And it reads like Doran is in usual form, too.

It was Mark Robinson who said that not Doran.

 

[pepsi]

It was Mark Robinson who said that not Doran.

That is true, but the limited amount of opinion that he gave on the topic clearly indicates he knows nothing about the game or the A-league. The caller spoke for a minute on Pantilidis and the structure of the Victory and there was absolutely no words coming from Doran's mouth that sounded like he understood what the caller was saying or what Doran should say in response.

Last week for BP

Absolutely shattered

Why's he leaving?? I'm shattered also...

 

[MacMum]

Is he staying with the station to do other timeslots etc, or moving on altogether??

I wonder where he will go? ..

 

[Manbearpig]

Sure this will please some folks on here. From The Pulse in the HS today:

"Could be interesting times ahead for SEN's morning program The Morning Glory. Word is one of the three hosts involved with the show is considering his future. It may well amount to nothing, but then again... Watch this space."

Watson and Brownless don't bother me, like they do a lot of people on here. I just hope its Andy Maher being referred to.

He said he is staying at SEN, will just be doing other things at the station. Is a good presenter and deserves a better time slot than the midnight til dawn shift.

 

[Hawthorn United]

Doran's the perfect person for midnight to dawn. Will help me sleep quicker and easier.

Haha. Agreed.

Contender for quote of the week by Snoran:

"I love the game of baseball, think its fantastic, but I don't follow it at all until the World Series each year."

 

[AG]

Doranism Number 18:

"I've been rooting for Tampa to make the World Series and win it, however if the Phillies get up we can jump aboard them because of a man, who has a home in Melbourne and the US, played 6 games of the 162 regular season games in the NBA, umm sorry the ahh MLB".

You don't change ship after mentioning every day for the past 3 weeks that you love Grant Balfour and you want the Rays to win.

 

[Hodgepodge]

Doran's just another AFLEN presenter. Knows stuff-all about anything other than the AFL. They are extremely tedious this time of year when they prefer to drag out and hypothesize on the AFL 2009 year instead of talk about what's going on right now in other sports.

 

[Hawthorn United]

Can't wait for the circus around pre-season when Doran and Matt Thompson make it a big story out of anything. Probably a Ben Cousins debut in an intra-club match and have live broadcast at the ground.
