Hutchy pronounced "raucous" as "rawshiss"

Dangerfield said that Kane Cornes "tries to rustle a few feathers"

 

[Deathray]

Doesn't really fit in the thread description but today when asked by plough who Greenwood as the tagger goes to, Maher offered up 'Treloar?'.

Craig Hutchison on The Sounding Board when reflecting about his Footy Show hosting stint said that he didn't see such a role as being part of his career "projectory".

 

[Xtreme]

Sam McClure said that the Bulldogs were the only team to go on a 4 game winning streak this year

But helllllllloooooooooooo the Swans went on a longer massive winning streak before they were stopped by Hawthorn last week.

(I'm sure that's what he said... but he might have meant to say that they are the only team to be on a winning streak at this stage in the season).

Re: Verbal Faux Paus

I had a mate who got a job as a radio sports reporter but knew nothing about sport. He was reading the golf report one time when he assumed a spelling mistake and "fixed" it for them - starting banging on about Steve Ballesteros.

Tony "Choppers" Jones?

I've heard a few commentators refer to the 2 Sydney stars as "Hannebery and Kennebrie"

Glad I'm not the only one who picked that up. Creepy moment.

 

[peternorth]

if one is sacked one expects they no longer hold that position they were sacked from? Thus do not continue in the role? Immediately?

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

I'm sure on Talking Footy last night Tim Watson said Hawthorn and Clarko had produced a 'congo line' of coaches.

He's a ******* muppet.

 

[peternorth]

Not sure where to put this soooo.

When commentators/observers mention that player ABC had 34 possessions, 21 contested, 8 marks, 11 tackles and 145 fantasy points

 

[richoatthedisco]

Sam McClure said this morning that Carlton was confident it could 'ascertain' both Kelly and Hopper from GWS.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Sam McClure said this morning that Carlton was confident it could 'ascertain' both Kelly and Hopper from GWS.

Where's the word acquire?

 

[workhorse]

Sam McClure said this morning that Carlton was confident it could 'ascertain' both Kelly and Hopper from GWS.

This morning he mentioned Carlton's "assertations" in regards to recruiting/trading in the off-season. I've forgotten the actual sentence but it just sounded so, so wrong.

 

[Truckosaurus]

What's the point of the ******* if he can't even talk/write properly? We already have Robbo as the journo who can't speak English.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Answering on The Footy Show, Joel Selwood mentioned "Damien Martyn" instead of Dustin Martin.

Some ex-footy knob and SEN attempting to praise Nick Reiwoldt's skills:

He's inept at getting the ball.


Met with some mirth in the background.

What an adept commentator.

Stevie J's presser was a goldmine. Saying he had 'no tickets left in him' was just one of the gems.

Not sure this qualifies for the thread but I was watching the footy on a TV where they have the automatic subtitle things (which I find extremely annoying on live footy) and the subtitle for the pronunciation of Brett Deledio was "delicatessen". Had a chuckle
