I Hate Robert Walls

I know this is not a new topic and hardly news for any Bomber supporter but:

I f****** hate Robert Walls

He is a sanctimonious prick and should never be allowed to commentate on another game of AFL.

(and to think that channel ten have us on in six of he first eight rounds

)

I see him more as the 'Tony Grieg' of the Ch10 team. He has banter, he has knowledge and he supports the other team.

If I didn't look at it that way.........I'd want to lop off his head

I agree wholeheartedly.

Tool.

Agree. Except for the call he made on McVeigh early in the match.

Walls may be annoying, but when there are bigger fish to fry who seem adament on destroying the only decent sport this country has invented, well, he doesnt seem so bad

Its simple guys, just turn off.
Either get to the game if you can or listen to it on radio. If ratings drop, see channel 10 change their line up.

I refuse to watch FTA footy unless Essendon is playing. And seeing as I can get to every game in Melbourne, I have no need to watch it. If we are playing interstate, ill listen to it on SEN.

His actually an ok special comments man just bias against essendon which is really frustrating. At least he provides an opinion and fulfills his role though. Unlike Silvagni, Schwarze and watson. Im looking forward to voss being on the channel 10 team though.

I get to the games in Melb, but when you are watching interstate games on TV you can't turn the sound down and listen to the radio anymore because the coverage is delayed by about 3 seconds.

Believe me, I have tried.

That's a pretty good way to look at things, i think.

That's the bit that pissed me off the most.

I hate Dwayne Russell way more. Robert Walls knows his footy. I believe he was right about McVeigh he was a bloody sook and shouldn't have been so stupid in the first place. Looking back on it he cost us the game. You can say that we were jibbed with the hands in the back rule but as disgraceful as the decisions were you have to get on with it. Would've been extra time. Could have gotten away with it last year but this year is different. Good to see Sheeds drag him shows he is not putting up with any shit this year and so he shouldnt. Essendon is known for giving away 50m penalties away for stupid indisgretions (not sure of spell) and in the end it costs us in the end. Time to pull their heads in and get on with it. Most of you will disagree but that's my view

Robert Walls almost ran me over at a Doncaster petrol station last year.... no joke.

Or it was someone who looked very, very similar.

I have no idea how any of you guys can applaud Robert Walls' commentary regarding Mark McVeigh. That was a ridiculous, childish attack on a player who busted his guts for this club last year. To say "grow up" on air was a pathetic sniper attack from a complete f****** bastard of a bloke.

I cannot remember one occasion where McVeigh committed such an offence last season. All I do know, is that he just about beat every single opponent he played on.

No argument from me.

But McVeigh did get fined last year (in june IIRC) for "intimidation" nearely headbuting the ump. Similar circumstances as Saturday, wrong call by ump that got him angry.

The standards of umpiring are far from impressive, but since there is little that McVeigh alone can do about this, he should keep his calm and avoid 50 m penalties.

and it is past my bedtime

I'm no Walls apologist...far from it but I actually though he was remarkably lenient with us with his after match comments.

He could and probably should have got stuck into us over what was a pathetic performance. He could have said how Sheedy has been talking the talk but not walking the walk. In stead he commented how satisfied the supporters of both sides should be....Spare me!! Carlton fans...maybe and that's JUST maybe. If I were a Blues supporter I wouldn't be getting too carried away. But at least it was a win. But speaking for myself I was far from satisfied...Gutted might be a better description.

I'm with you Benny. Yes Macca was stupid but to make those comments about a player was childish, the players are in no position to defend no respond. It shit me off.

We all know Macca screwed up, Macca knows Macca screwed up - no need for comments like that.
