Paul Daniel's Views On The World, For What They're Worth

I had to listen to the footy (St Kilda v Carlton) on the radio tonight, having not had to do that for a while. The choices were:
. Drivel M (MMM)
. Red Neck Radio (3AW)
. Tobin Brothers (ABC)
. Blokes Radio (SEN)

I went with Blokes, with two legendary footballers – Dermot Brereton and Kevin Bartlett. Pretty painful commentators though. With Dermie, the game is constantly over-analyzed and it’s all crap. Also, I have never heard anyone destroy the English language like he does.

KB commentates in the usual pigheaded way he played the game – he’s never wrong. I do agree with him though, on this bizarre situation that happens in football all the time now. Why the hell does someone who has just scored a goal get dragged off the ground for a break? Both the player and the team are on a high after the goal – take advantage of it for goodness sake!

The comment of the night was from KB – “Never get your ambitions mixed up with your capabilities, Dermot”. I think he borrowed it from Casey Stoner though.
