Newsflash: David Schwarz is a moron

[AnarchicBomber]

And I don't mean a "I-disagree-with-your-opinion-on-football" moron. I mean a genuine moron.

I won't list all of the things he said but here's a couple

The first being late in the match "It's been a long time since both South Australians have won in the same round". Yeah, except for the last round they played in.

My favourite though was when Motlop did a lairish little step-jump and Dennis Commetti said "Shades of Berlin, 1939" to which Ox replied "oh you reckon it's a bit of a triple jump?" Dennis: "ahhh ... no".

Sorry Ox. I'm just angry and you're dumb. Not a good combination.

[Mrs Mercuri]

Yeah im not a fan of the Ox.... even when he is on SEN he comes across as a bit of a try hard really.

[jimmyc1985]

He's extremely thick. So are Brereton and Dwayne Russell, but they're experienced enough to hide it (most of the time).

[robrulz5]

Dwayne Russell seems to pick a phrase and use it for an entire match. Very annoying.

[azza78]

I guess that explains why he's nicknamed "Ox"...has the same mental capacity as one.

[ealesy]

Um...how is this a news flash...I thought everyone bar channel 7 has known he is a complete and utter moron for the past 3 years.

[nomolos]

Other names on this moron list include..

Walls
Shaw
Jackovich
Lynch

[billyduckworth]

It's quite unfair suggesting he is as dumb as an ox.
At least an ox can do something useful like pull a plough.

[hop]

Smartest bloke to come out of Sunbury for a long long time.

He would have been a f***wit and a bully at school and throughout his football career. But he was big and could play a bit of football when he was younger. Now he only has his wits and his communication skills to rely on to bring in the rent. In an ideal world he would be homeless!

Have a look at a replay of the 2000 G.F. - a more petulant and whinging display would be difficult to find.

Um...irony.

[rockhole]

Other names on this moron list include..

Walls
Shaw
Jackovich
Lynch

Jakovich was a star graduate of the Silvagni commentating technique academy. Someone fed him 10 standard football clichés and he has managed to apply them to every occasion.

Great Player
Hopeless Commentator

......and while I am on it, certain phrases and words should be rewarded with death by firing squad. They include:

Quarterback
Position "A"
One on One
Deeeeefence
Bounce Down
Numbers 'round the Ball
Scoreboard Pressure
Get Go (the worst of all!!!)

Any others out there???

[j-mac31]

Yep, he is an idiot but McAvaney is still my no.2 man on TV footy coverage to hate.

[tom9779]

Um...how is this a news flash...I thought everyone bar channel 7 has known he is a complete and utter moron for the past 3 years.

I thought the same thing.

is this like

news flash : war in iraq or news flash: richmond are a bunch of perennial losers?

[nomolos]

Yep, he is an idiot but McAvaney is still my no.2 man on TV footy coverage to hate.

He has become quite a terrible caller.

[F111]

I've changed my view on him. He tried to do his best in the 'oo gf, but was left with cheap shots only as the Dees were shot. He tried to do to JJ what long did to Simmonds. He also had a go at Hird's leg just off the play. I loathed him.

I find his commentary simple and uncomplicated and he doesn't seem to take himself too seriously. Good comment re: the two Adelaide teams though...funny. He wasn't on SEN today (migraine) Might be worth a listen for the feedback from the Bomber brethren tomorrow.

Alistair Lynch is hopeless at speaking English

[merc_2]

Lynch's second language is English...and he doesnt have a first...He is a shocker!

[bomberdonnie]

Lynch's second language is English...and he doesnt have a first...He is a shocker!

His first language is Tasmanian

[paddyl90]

NO!!!!! Lynch covering our game today. 2 min in and he is already shittin me. Long long game....hopefully that being the only thing making this game seem long.

[AnarchicBomber]

Lynch's second language is English...and he doesnt have a first...He is a shocker!

HaHa! Love it, merc_2

I sincerely hope generations to come don't abandon this type of humour for the banal junk dumped on us by the US sitcom.
