If there is a God, why is there a Phil Gould?

Question

A simple question to people of all religions? How can there be two. In my opinion you cannot have both and unfortunatly we all no Gus is real. We are subjected to him constantly on tv, newspapers and radio.

Who is he performing felatio on to still have this position of importance because it seems I am not the only person to have bile fill my throat when I see, hear or sense him.

Answer 1

there is no rugbly league-smart  man like gus, his passionate & tru to the game & even though his a bit rude sometimes thats just who he is.. he knows what his talking about and does great things for the NRL

Answer 2

well maybe there's no god! that why we have filthy Phil! performing fellatio on T.V executives so he can keep his job!

Answer 3

black-white

day-night

summer-winter

hard-soft

god-gould

Answer 4

he may be bias on some things but he also has a lot of good valid points. he is good for the game and gives clowns like you something to whinge and whine about.

Answer 5

I agree with the question, seems like he knows everything about RL. You ask him this question who's going to win tonights nlr game between roosters & tigers and the answer he'll give as though he already saw the future of the game.

For Gods sake he's not a god and he's making fool out of himself.

Answer 6

he has actually improved as a commentator although sometimes stuck in the 70s with the oh yeah baby calls he used to be a bronco basher but someone at 9  tuned him up cant blame him being biased 4 blues who isnt 4 there state     he has coached them and won premierships so has respect  ego can be a cruel boss causing involuntary comments  at inapropriate times   he  definetly  trys to colour a call  to match his pre game predictions  especially roosters games or  goes out of his way to can the sharks or is it that ego jumping out again  anyway its a pretty hard job hes not that bad and im a qlder  next week turn the sound down and have ago at callin 2mins of the game urself and report back if u still think hes got no talent

Answer 7

Too many Gus Goulds.  Not enough bullets

Answer 8

He can be annoying but he is often right (and amusing).

You have a choice: the newspaper doesn't even have to be turned off!

Answer 9

have you actually played rugby league or are you like the multitude of others that criticise mr gould because he has an opinion and is not afraid to voice it

i do not agree with everything he writes but more often than not he is right on the money and at the very least interesting

eg his report of ricky stuart was so true it is uncanny eg wing at halfback 2002 roosters win gf

wing at hooker 2003/2004 look what happened

despite what others think i have a long memory and know it was him and his coaching staff that got the roosters back in the hunt in the 90's and the 2000 gf appearance was testiment to his legacy not the coaching skills (or as we now see lack thereof of former cowboys coach)

his article on rooster/rabbitoh rivalry was spot on

he was a prime mover behind reinstatement of the rabbits (via media) yet still cops criticism from the ignorant saps that claim to be followers of this great game

some of whom write for the other paper

yet he has not stooped to the gutter tactics and his integrity has been maintained where a lesser man would have capitulated under the constant barrage of tripe aimed his way

he constantly reminds veiwers of the courage todays players have and he commands respect of most players (state of origin record speaks for itself)

yes i am an unabashed roosters fan for over 30 years but just as important i am a follower of the game and able to sort the wheat from the chaff when it comes to those who profess to be experts on the game

Phil (GUS) Gould is one of the true experts and if you disagree then dont watch, read or SENSE him

Answer 10

I have heard him called 'Fool' Gould! Suitably! Yes the man is a pr_ck, i can't stand to listen to him, he is generous of sorts though, i remember him walking into the Club i once worked in while at Uni and he asked his sister in-law, who worked there as well, "how much do you owe on your house"? and wrote a cheque than and there for her to pay it out! Not bad hey!

Answer 11

Gus is my uncle.  He is a great guy, just misunderstood.

Answer 12

It seems to me that nothing pleases you about RL, as your Qs today indicate. So why not go over to union or AFL, perhaps they will be more tolerant than I.

Answer 13

TV stations are exempt of God's influence... it's part of his giving us free will. If God was a control freak then yes, there would be no Gould, or Ray Warren getting everything wrong, or Big Brother, Mundane or Mason opening their mouths, Sam Newman still breathing, or AFL, or Victoria (lets just erase it and bring Tasmania to the mainland)... and i could go on and on... but this is someone elses rant so i shouldn't impose.

Answer 14

he is annoying, but so are lot's of people on tv

i usually turn the sound off
