Worst Commentator Pole Action

[Dismal Pillock]

yeah sold him a bit short there, kind of a golden generation. THAT'S the effect I'm talking about though, deeds of the gab undermining deeds on the field, call it for what it is, The Kearns Tears Gab Test Match Paradigm Reverse Brownie Points Effect

 

[Silverado]

Say what you like about Kearns, and as a commentator I would probably agree with anything you say, but he did have some points from his playing career - 2 RWC winning squads / teams; Bledisloes. Did allright.

Totally agree with his playing accomplishments, as with Horans, but as commentators they'd be flat out making Subbies

No argument with that!!

what is interesting is just how long it takes for such revered legends on the field to completely exhaust their quota of test match rugby goodwill by their dopey deeds in the comm box

"OK, I'm Tim Horan so I can say anything I want." And he seems to have run with that premise. His legend status seems to have given his mouth a free pass from where his brain should be. And he's still thought of as Tim Horan rugby legend so I'd venture he still has a long way to before he's run the status dry

Justin Marshall comes to mind, a DICK who has long since exhausted his goodwill quota and is now just a shrieking fuckwit. As opposed to a shrieking fuckwit who won a lot of test matches in black.

Kearns didnt have enough legend points in the bank iHOMO and promptly shot himself in the ballsack with his mouth after what, 2, maybe 3 minutes in the commentary box.

Gregan is sailing close to the wind the ammount of times he gets peoples names wrong is shocking.. ive heard him call Herny Speight ..Herny Smith because they came up on the screen together in a Brumbies match. It was Andrew Smith

I hear thata Sky have prepared a special commentary box for TJ on the weekend. Seven monitors showing highlights of all Crusaders Super titles on continuous loop, photos of famous Crusaders (Ritchie, Dan et al), cold shower and ice bath. Anthony Mundine has donated a pair for boxing gloves for TJ to wear.

some of those test patterns need a LOT more red and black pencilled in

No wide zoom though please, we should spared the horror of exactly where TJ's other hand is.....

Vision not needed to know the location of his other hand.

actually there's loads more comms that shouldve gone up the pole

• Joel "seems fair and unbiased right up until the saffer team starts copping it then we get his true colours straight up the fucken mast" Stransky
• George "Diazepam" Gregan.
• Jeff "oh shit, speaking of George Gregan" Wilson
• Rod "started ok but has become increasingly butthurt and tetchy but fuckit at least he calls out shithead Kearns on his rubbish" Kafer
• Stephen "see Joel Stransky" Hoiles
• Bobby "dropped innumerable times on his head as an infant" Skinstadt

'A Justin Marshall of Wakatipu in Queenstown has trademarked three famous phrases used by the ex-All Black and rugby commentator of the same name.

'The New Zealand Intellectual Property Office (Iponz) records show that "Boomfa", "Yes Boy" and "Me oh My" have been accepted as trademarked. Two other phrases, "How Good" and "Give it Everything" are listed as being under examination.'

I'm guessing you can't trademark a single word e.g. Synergy?

Just to prove I'm not making it up:

I wonder what happens if another commentator accidentally lets out a 'boomfa' or 'me oh my' under pressure. Does Justin get royalties? The mind boggles at the intellectual thought needed to come up with these phrases.

What's the consensus? I reckon he should be entitled to .000001 cents (NZ) for every usage of said trademarked phrases.

How doesn't Greg "that was a techinical infringment because it was the Reds" Martin not get into the top 10. Surely his work over many years deserves some recognition.

he7s currently the leading vote getter in the whole fucken pole, bung eye!

Missed him down in the middle of the list.

Although Kearnsy still on top when the 7.8% all of the above is added to his individual score.

 

[Jimmy_Crouch]

Surely Karl Te Nana gets a start in this contest.

Kearns is junk but at least he is what he is and that is a former wallaby/waratah captain. He knows he is biased and so do the viewers.

TJ is a patronising twat. His favourtite line for non kiwi teams "well they can feel a little hard done by there" just after calling it completely different, seeing the replay and knowing the kiwi team got away with something.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

TJ is a patronising twat.

Try being from Auckland when he's calling all your games. The sneering disdain. The palpable disgust.​

Apparently he did it as he's coming out with his own brand of beer? I wonder if he hasn't dumbly WILDLY overestimated his own popularity? "Oh me oh my they all love my hi-energy colour commentary and trademark phrases such as 'Yes Boy', which no one has ever said before and to which I now have intellectktual rights to. I must be one of the most beloved people in all of New Zealand, this beer will fly off the shelves!"

Meanwhile everyone who's ever listened to him wreck a game of rugby by shrieking his nuts off and getting it 180 degrees of wrong 180% of the time will see the beer on the shelf and think "well fuck me, I don't care if it tastes like angelic nectar from the bosomed butt of fucken Abraham, I am buying ANY beer EXCEPT for that fucken one."

3 months later, "Boomfah Beer" quietly disappears from shelves nationwide.
