Most ignorant football journalist?


old55

Recommended Posts

Listening to some draft chat on SEN.

Mark Robinson would have to be the dumbest most ignorant journo going around.

I'm particularly thinking of journos who never played so are only there for those skills.

BT, Harford, Maclure, Shaw and Walls are hopeless but they have playing credentials - not that it makes any difference.

Agree 100%. Knows everything about those at Windy Hill though. That seems to be his "Base Camp" or home away from office.

Never overly critical of his beloved Essendon. Happy to dish out the 'bad' on opposition clubs.

considering Grant Thomas is trying to be a writer for heraldsun/age?? (can't remember which one)

He is awful on Classified.

And i disagree with almost everything he says

No way! I love Grant Thomas on FC. Straight up, to the point, doesn't sugarcoat stuff. Much, much better than Wayne Carey or Glenn Archer.

Agree, he delivers and does the job required. Ie. His opinion on Hudgton over Dawson. He didn't hold back despite being their previous coach at St.Kilda.

At least Sheahan can write properly - with proper grammar and with some eloquence.

Mark Robinson's ignorance is evident when he talks, writes, blubbers, or whatever other useless thing he has conned some Editor on Producer to pay him for.

He is a waste of breathable air and a pox on our otherwise fine society.

And if I were to have him killed, I would be the one to go to jail!

You got that reference aswell, I know you did.

That is also partly why i don't like him, Caro, Lyon, hutchinson only ever go to him when they are talking about st.kilda, and he is so bitter that he got canned by the saints that he never has anything productive to say.

He goes back on his word so much.

agreed he is better than archer and carey.

Thomas wouldn't have the job if not for his involvement at AFL level, so it doesn't really fit into the category old55 had outlined.

Anyhow, I think he does the job required of him.

Anyone else catch this bit of Einsteinien logic from Tony Shaw on Fev in the Hun this morning:

"If he did come to Collingwood, you would make it on the most stringent terms," he said. "If he stuffed up once, he's out with no money.

"I don't know if you can do that with the rules of the AFL because the AFL Players' Association will jack up.

So let me see if I've got this right... Tony is telling the Collingwood captain to shut up because he's got an opinion on Fev and his effect on club culture. Tony thinks that Fev would help Collingwood, but admits that he doesn't know whether they can sack him or not if he impacts on club culture? hmmm

Mike Sheahan played VFA for Werribee. (http://www.vflfooty.com/?q=node/2069). Have seen this reported from a couple of sources but you don't hear much about it.

Tony Shaw wins hands down. Rubbish coach, rubbish commentator, rubbish writer.

Ah the Hun, the non thinking man's paper. Their journos are primed to feed the masses with copy that would often make Today Tonight blush!

The sponsors are very thankful for your kind words :lol::rolleyes:

Mike Sheehan is average at best.

THE thing with mike is that he is a melbourne supporter,but he never writes a good word about the dees,his top 50 has no surprise that he did not pick melbourne player if you look back on the last 10 years he has really pick a demon player even when we were top 4. I think reason he writes negative about the dees is that he does not want to be seen being bias, so he goes the total opposite way, not to show it, he goes too far the other way, in regards to robbo he is a tool and a naff naff, he show total bias for the dons

i was more Offended during last Weekend when i read Mike Sheahan's article about a Drawn Grand Final.

Mike of course wants extra time to be played if the scores are tied.

SHUT UP MIKE. If the game is a draw it is replayed the following week

I like the Replay, & yes i was there at both in '77

You are such a dull journalist, only ever reporting on last weeks or yesterdays news.

Time for the Pethadiene & retirement village old man. SHUT IT.

I must Say though Robinson & Andy Maher are far worse if that is at all possible!!!!

Very well put. I was really unhappy reading that article. I would have loved to have witnessed a draw game in the AFL grand final, seeing them coming back the next week and who could gut it out for the win! It is a great concept and I would think almost unique to world sports (yes we are a world game we play against Ireland sometimes.... with a round ball.. with soccer goals...). I can not think of any other sports I know where extra time is not used to find a winner on the day.

I know it's bordering on unbelievable, but earlier in the year on 7's Sunday morning show I twice heard Robinson say "youse" when referring to his fellow commentators. A journalist.

I don't expect you to believe me.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?
