    I just can't...

    Watch any more football with Cameron *!*!*!*!ing Ling's stupid voice just talking so much bullshit. It's unbelievable the crap he can spout. Usually I ignore the comment at but Ling just gets so many things wrong, players names and numbers, even teams confuse him occasionally and he will call Richmond Essendon (who aren't actually playing in the game he's talking about), that I just can't keep not noticing.

    He knows jack shit about the game and understands it even less. He is inarticulate. He is a goose. He wasn't even an especially good player.

    What's the attraction?

    The silver lining at least.

    I must say that I'm getting caught up with this Richmond bandwagon. I will be actively self loathing next.

    And Ling doing non-Geelong games is applied torture.

    Yep - cannot stand listening to Ling commentate, particularly on Geelong games.

    Tonight was beautiful

    I'm on the tigers bandwagon for the finals. I went tonight with my mate who is a long long long suffering Richmond supporter. He started barracking forward them just after the Golden years around 1982. Tonight was so nice to see my mate so happy but more importantly it's was fantastic to see those Geelong pricks cop a hiding in the end.

    As for Ling I wish I could of seen his face as Dusty took the game away from them in the last.

    I have to admit that it was a sort of empty feeling after the siren watching all the Richmond fans singing and enjoying the win because it's took me back to the finals last year where we were winning finals and wondering what could be. It hurts to not be in the finals this year not defending the flag.

    Have a feeling Riewoldt and Hodge will step in and replace a few next year - I know both cop a bit from our supporters, but think they'd do better than quite a few we're forced to tolerate at the moment.

    .

    As much as I dislike Riewoldt he was pretty good with his comments.

    They get a free pass because of their footy careers but Hodge and Riewoldt are dead boring and have already been transformed into archetypal ch 7 'talent'. This network just never gets it - last night they pan to a close up of a post moving, and a close up of Geelong's goal tally going from 0 to 1 on the scoreboard - shit like this is just useless and irrelevent garbage, and precisely what ch 7 specialises in with their insipid footy coverage. I hate that prick of a network and what they've done to destroy the simple pleasure of watching the footy at home.

    Re Ling. Reality is if he was a female, his looks would disqualify him from any TV role. He gets away with it -just -cos he's a bloke.
    But although, thankfully, we don't have to put up with his boof head during the game, we still have to endure that squeaky, preachy voice FFS! Like, why is the voice not considered to be a factor to consider when doling out media jobs?
    Apart from having a voice from hell he talks absolute drivel.
