In my opinion he often does that just after he's bashed us or made some factually incorrect statement about us. For example today he said something praiseworthy just after saying the Topor-Stanley vs Ball contact in the box. Same thing when he accused Fenton of handling the ball (which was shot into his chest from two inches away).
I've missed about 10 Nix games since we started and had to endure that man's commentary over and over again. He is morally bankrupt and very biased against the Nix and does the bare minimum to appear fair to both teams, I honestly cannot stand him
and ive missed zero games since day 1 and I think he’s the best of an admittedly poor lot.
?
Mate, he's piss poor like his teammate, yes he brought up our stats at the start but by no means was he praising us, only saying what the stats back up (that until today we had the worst luck of any team in the comp).
He didn't even say that McArthur, who had just beaten the Bling, only got a point out of us due to sharkhouse refereeing. In saying that, he's not the worst, that award goes to Robbie Slater.
Living outside of Aus and NZ, I think both Sky's and Fox's commentators are dire, right up there with that Irish Twit Smithy from the '90s. There are one or two exceptions from both countries but they are sadly rarely on TV.
