Impartial Commentating??....not likely!

Post: # 752776Post RodKeoghsLoveChild »

The Fox Sports Commentators were bloody bias and plainly frustrating. Normally I never pick up on the commentators, but today, geez they just annoyed the sh*t out of me.

Dunstall and Shaw together gave us bugger all credit and just called the game with rose coloured glasses. I know most people want us beaten, but I expect more from a commentary team.


Like a midget at a urinal, I was going to have to stay on my toes.

Agree totally...part of it is wanting to see us go down but it is biased...how about giving credit where it is due...even my sweet placid wife wanted to strangle Shaw :twisted:

Not enough of the commentators are St Kilda supporters, that is where the problem lies. Makes me laugh on SEN when they mention that the presenters who are Saints supporters are biased. They tend to always go against the Saints whereas the commentators and presenters who follow other teams are so biased it is sickening!!! For example, Jason Dunstall and Steven Quartermaine on Triple M. Poor Jason could not bare anyone questioning Croad or his future and had a brain freeze on air.

When we were down the bottom of the ladder, St Kilda was everyone's 2nd favourite team. However, over the last 5 or so years since we have start a march up the ladder, we seem to have lost that status.

I heard the Comm's calling it how it was...brave effort by an undermanned and ultimately outgunned, outmuscled team...

Harden up people...

Way too sensitive...

Clearly rooting for the underdog, understandable in some ways but bloody frustrating to listen to.

If I had a drink every time they mentioned the fact we're undefeated I would've passed out by halftime

When your behind the commentators always annoy you. Didn't mind them today but in the past have hated it when two perth boys were on the mike doing the w.coast freo games on fox.

I want a lot of success over the next few years and with that, I want the smarmy commentators to hate us.

I want all the patronising supporters of the bigger clubs who gave me grief all the years we were crap to have us stuck in their craw.

The best thing is I think the team wants it more than I do.
