Don't even entertain such things.

Very well put.

Re: The Footy Show
I thought 9 made a mistake by not starting afresh and calling the new show another name. Might have created a new audience.

Yep, because they're the typical type of arseclowns who don't quite encourage poor behaviour openly, but revel in its aftermath whilst trying to present themselves as not involved.
TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

Zing away bigfella. Zing away...
Gary ain't the bad cop, not by a long measure!
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

He's the reasonable voice that talks us down when we're being a bit silly. If he were to leave....

Well said. Nicely summed up. So much of the modern ‘blokey’ Football banter follows this model. I can’t stand it.

And that is exactly the reason I refused to counter starting up a website back when we moderated the Bigfooty buldogs board until he said he was onboard-his strengths (organization, discipline) are my weaknesses and vice versa (I'm an ideas man and I am the rudest person you will ever meet.) There are very few people I actually listen to in this life but Gary happens to be one of them. If he says no then I pull my head in.

I can second this. I've seen him on a good day. I'd hate to see him on a bad day.

What was I expected to do? You were the one who turned up disguised as an umpire!

I was thinking more about the night when Napoleon Dynamite was umpiring and we had the celebrity opponent.
