Tim Watson

[James23]

I dont mean to sound like a sour and bitter loser.. but right from the first quarter did anyone else pick up on this gooses blatant bias and support for essendon.. he wasnt commentating at all he was clearly barracking.

There were countless instances throughout the game where he made grunting noises whenever essendon did something good or when an umpire made a questionable decision. He also very rarely referred to the crows and it was either essendon doing something good or no comment at all. This is all IMO so i was just wondering did anyone else feel the same way or am i just paranoid and imagining things

David S was worse.

 

[NSWCROW]

Might've had something to do with the fact he played 300 games for them.

 

[ThePeckers]

and his son is playing for them

I hate when there is bias commentating. Remember when Eddie commentated Collingwood...

Meh, Bruce was well and truly evening it out.

I noticed it a little, but really, when you listen to him commentate when your sides not involved hes okay.
When your teams getting beaten every commentator who raises their voice when the opposition scores a goal sounds like a biased sh!t

Some of Tim Watson's finest 'special' comments:

Brad Johnson - hes a good player.

Kevin Sheedy has been a good coach for Essendon.

Richmond have been disapointing today (about 100 points down in the last quarter).

Worst. Commentator. Around.

 

[dA Crow]

David S was worse.

Completely agreed there, the guy is very droll.

 

[CaptainDangerfield]

As long as I don't have to listen to any of those annoying, obvious, boring, "Commetisms" I don't care who is commentating. Channell seven commentary is atrocious. Dennis is annoying, David is dull and Bruce should have retired.

 

[James23]

might add an extra little quote made by tim watson in the last quarter.. lloyd lining up from 25 metres out "i GUARANTEE lloyd wont do the same as nick gill just did" result - lloyd sprays it for a behind just like gilly.. IMO his commentating is alot worse than his ability to coach

I agree ..... and he was a dud coach.

He's a genuine pain - get him off the airwaves please.

I had the vol turned down and suffered 5AA....all negative from the ex captain again and KG just agreed with whatever was said.....go the ABC

Ricky oleranshaw completes the shithouse commantar team, he is as bad on the boundary as Watson is in the box.

Sorry James but you just sound like a sour and bitter loser

 

[RoosterLad]

**** off jonas you smoker

 

[crowman_23]

I was listening to 3AW today at the ground and Tony Shaw was also very bias. He gave us no chance before the first bounce and only ever discuassed what Essendon could do, what they had to do to win. Never anything about how the Crows could turn it around and we should of won that bloody game.

When Chris McDermott said alarm bells are ringing for the 50th time in the 1st qtr i turned it off.

Josh Fancou is the only good thing about the 5AA commentry team. Too many old fuddy duddies

Mr McNegativity out did himself today. Gone by 15 minutes in to the first quarter, there's no way back...the world is going to end. KG is just superstitious and when Rowie dared to believe there was life he was snuffed out by KG.

5AA is a joke... so unprofessional. why any media outlet would pay mcdermott to work for them is beyond me.

and was i hearing things or did david schwartz refer to burton as "spider burton" at one point? wtf?

and what about "i think brett burton has a touch of jarred brennan about him."

please leave. forever.

I think that was D.S, could be wrong though

 

[sapaul]

Exactly. Timmy was alright, better than Parkin when we played Carlton anyway.

....and yeah it was Schwarz who made the comment about Lloyd won't miss.

 

[asdfasd]

Tim Watson is one of the worst commentators around. On top of never saying anything of any real value, he is phenomenally biased and therefore shows a lack of professionalism. Ricky Olerenshaw on the boundary line is just as bad; you'd think before trying to work in the media you'd learn to string a sentence together!

Ever listened to Adelade radio? On MMM melbourne they were bagging whichever Adelade radio station was in the next commentary box from them because their barracking was so loud they could hear it from the next box. However, in saying that Tim Watson shits me and not because of bias because no one on c 7 is worth listening to
