Ray Hadley

[Murphy]

i think you will find hadley knows where he is going wrong on tv he is critical of himself every week, he said the adjustment to tv is going to take a while you will notice he will improve over time i prefer him on his radio call than tv

 

[dragons]

Na a normal kick, has to go past halfway for you to get the ball back though I think.

wtf . i think u better read the rules please . its not afl lol

 

[Jigsaw]

Voss was he only commentator I could stand. All the rest are bloody awful. Ray Warren is the worst, he doesn't even know half the players names FFS.

I think you should ring him and tell him what you really think. Would make for great radio.

As for being right wing, he maybe, but I've heard him attack politicians from all parties when I have had occasion to listen to him, which isn't very often. As for being a "stain", I don't know about that? What would make him a "stain" as you suggest? The man is married with kids, is he not? It's easy to make such throw away remarks in an internet forum without any evidence or facts to back such a claim. There are far worse people in society than radio announcers or commentators in my humble opinion. At least he isn't afraid of being part of the politically correct brigade which are a danger to society.

AS for ABC Grandstand, I agree with you, they have the best commentary and no ads. I have rarely listened to Hadley on radio to call a game, however it is definitely the case that he may need to slow his style down a bit for TV.

Facts are that Ray Warren and Ray Hadley were previously both race callers, so I suppose they tend to try and add a bit of excitement to their calls.

What's that got to do with anything. Plenty of scumbag father and husbands out there. Besides what kind of great father/husband works 7 days a week.

Personally, I can stand the bloke. I don't think he has a hidden agenda I think it's pretty obvious that he loves the sound of his own voice and makes ludicrous statements to make sure people keep tuning in. Hadley, Allen jones, Aca and today tonight are all the same. The sooner they are out of the media the smarter our society will become.

Hating the bloke or his radio show or what he does with his kids is not really relevant when discussing his commentating abilities on 9. I don't dislike hadley, but man, i can't stand him as a tv commentator, radio he is ok, but not for tv.

Whilst Ray Hadley tends to go over the top on some things he isn't wrong about attacking paedophiles. They are scum. A lot of people "serve their time" as you say and then go and re-offend. The level of recidivism in sex offenders is high, they should be locked away forever if they interfere with children or chemically castrated.

As for listening to the ABC and their announcers, why attack Hadley for being right wing when the ABC(radio and televison) is the most left wing biased station ever. All Julia Dullard voters. Bad luck Labor got massacred in Qld, and that is what will happen to Gillard and all her Labor baboons when the time comes.

As for the commentating on ABC David Morrow is good and so is Warren Boland, and always liked Warren Ryan's analysis.

If you hate all the commentators on 9 why don't you turn it off. I love all the people that say they hate Hadley but still keep listening to him both on the radio and TV. Why keep listening if you can't stand it? Makes it hypocritical.

Chemically castrated? That reminds me of some NAZI ****. Where are the stats to support that re-offending is high? We have a justice system for a reason. Time served, he should be left to get on with his life with whatever restrictions or programs are put in place by the courts, if they fail to comply, further jail time may be warranted, thats up to the legal system. The continual public verbal public bashing of someone who has served their time only makes their life harder which makes them more likely to re-offend in my opinion. Talk back presenters are not the law, although they quite often interfere in the process with negative results.

I think it's a bit of a leap to say that ABC is a biased left wing station? Provide some evidence mate. Completely disagree. Do you actually listen to it?
I mean really, you said it yourself

It's easy to make such throw away remarks in an internet forum without any evidence or facts to back such a claim.

This is not a place for political discussion, but I will say your views on castration are moronic and completely not suited or acceptable to our society, pull your head in.

I do turn channel 9 off, I would love not to have to do that though. Also, you're idea of hypocrisy is laughable.

Im not jumping on the 'I love Hadley' bandwagon but you gotta give the guy a few weeks to adjust to the change, going from Radio to TV is massive.. But on the flipside, it does your head in listening to him go completely bananas when someone makes a step, beats one player and gets tackled.. Makes you wonder all those games we have listened to on the radio, was it really that good of a game???

Wally Lewis - Needs to go, cant stand his useless input. You were a good player but thats it!
Darren Lochyer - Fix your voice or **** off the commentary team!

Maybe im just a one-eyed NSWer but i wont be listening to another Friday game with these 2 monkeys on it!!!

What ever Vossy did to piss of CH9, just say sorry and get back on the box!

All right-wing nutters that have grown up on right-wing biased media believe that the ABC is left-wing and biased. The truth is it's relatively unbiased and centrist. But when you're so far right, and you look to the left, you'll see ABC on the fence and think it's part of the left.

When you see a comment like that from now on just acknowledge that the poster is an idiot and don't say anything. That's what I do. If someone wants to drop hints about their own stupidity let them. I'll take a mental note and move on.

So well said, mate. That's why I didn't bother to reply. If you listen to the likes of Allan Jones, Ray Hadley or anyone on 2GB/2UE, read News Ltd or Fairfax newspapers and don't think they have a biased and one-sided agenda, you're pretty much a lost cause.

If you watch any of the ABC political programs regularly (Stateline, Q&A) etc) you would see that they give both sides of politics an equal analysis. It's just that they don't worship the Liberal party, like the rest.

As for the election result in QLD, well, that's Queensland for you. They voted in Bjelke-Petersen's corrupt government for a record term. They have now voted in big numbers for Bob-I'm an insane redneck-Katter, what can you do?...

Anyway,:topic. The reason I dislike Hadley as a commentator has nothing to do with him personally, it's the same reason I dislike the entire commentary team on 9 - they think they are the stars, they act like people are actually tuning in because of them. I just want to watch the football without having to listen to some idiot screaming like he's been shot or engaging in mindless banter with his co-commentators. Not to metion the ENDLESS cross promotion of Channel 9's other crap programs, that it is obvious most of the commentators do not watch.

All this political correctness... it's like the thought police are trying to control how we think.

What about our freedom of speech?

What is this? Nazi Germany?

I blame the media, the muslims, the gays, the bureaucracy, the unions, single-mothers, youth, the banks, rap music, the church, academics, ethnics, drugs, loss-of-family-values, scientists, public servants, vegetarians, smokers, teachers, the sixties, abolition of the cane in schools...

I'm outraged!

So true, mate, so true. And what about the children!!?? WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!??

Haha good old Simpsons. Keeping young and old entertained

fitz, Sharky Pete has hacked your account.

SF, it's comments like that, that make me question why I decided to come back to this forum.

One of the reasons I liked this forum was I could come on here and have my opinions respected by fellow Sharks fans.

I don't see this to the case anymore.

 

[Mark^Bastard]

Grow your skin thicker Pete.

 

[Sharky Pete]

Grow your skin thicker Pete.

It's not about having a thick skin MB.

As I said I came to this forum two years ago to get away from the constant baiting in Rleague.

It seemed I was always respected here and have made quite a few friends here but I honestly don't know what happened in here during the offseason.

 

[Mark^Bastard]

Do you have friends in real life? Do they never joke around with you?

You need a thicker hide mate.

It's probably part of the reason you're constantly baited. Work on it as it's something only you can fix. The world won't change for you mate.

I respect you as a person by the way.
