Is it just me or does Bruce McIvaney annoy the c**p out of you with his "overkill" commentaries???

Question

It is like he is more important than the action with his highly emotive gushings???

Answer 1

they the commentators are all the same full of it,blighties comments on saturday night,"telling the umpies to shut up and just umpire the game "was the best comment so far,mcivaney, one sided voss,hawk fanatic quartermain,bring back "rexy hunt" and let the fat lady sing again.he would have to be the best ever.

Answer 2

Bruse does get a bit carried away - I luv the game but it is still just a game of football. They haven't saved someone from drowning or rescued someone from a fire.

I think we need Ben Cousins doing some commentary when he's been on the gear, Then it would be interesting - Denis then could really say that Ben needs soime ice.

Answer 3

Yeah bring on the boys from Triple M, then you'd get no over the top rantings.

I do remember a beauty from Bruce a few years back when Corey McKernan was firing for the Roos. He took a great grab on the wing and Bruce pipes up "Oh he's turning me on tonight", and as cool as ever Dennis offers Bruce a glass of water. Great stuff. Bruce must practice comments like those in the bedroom.

Answer 4

He was even worse when Wayne Carey was playing.   You should have heard the c**p he dribbled then.   I know he was good but you'd think they were related the way he carried on.

Answer 5

He is not as bad as Rex Hunt but a close second.

Answer 6

You are spot on...

If I never hear the word Special... from him again, I will be happy.

He knows his stuff, but is full of himself with everything he calls.

Answer 7

Totally agree with Asterix, When Carey was playing Brucey was unbearable.......

I refused to watch a North Mel game, if I heard that Bruce was commenting on it- which unfortunatly he did for allmost ALL their games

And any team other than North (esp the Tigers) only needed to be behind by a goal to be "out of it", but North could be 100 points behind and still be "in with a sniff"

Such a crock..

If Bruce came home and found Wayne Carey in bed shagging his wife , which side of the bed would he get in....

I reckon Bruce had Carey's name tatooed on his ****

Love to see what Brucey did when Carey did a runner to the US and beat up his girl.

Answer 8

He has been annoying the c**p out of me for over thirty years I don't what he been doing to whom to keep his job but he must be good at it

Answer 9

Yes, I agree with everything that you & everyone else has had to say about McAvaney in here.

I refer to him as "Bruce The Goose".

Answer 10

na i recon his comantaries are SPECIAL

Answer 11

He annoys the c**p out of Australia,   it   might be safe to say.

He reminds me of those stupid yanks on the golf,  Christ, they are nangers,  today i heard "this could be a Cinderella story, right there",   "tiger was had an iron in his hand, coming out of the womb"

"someone call the cops, he has just been robbed" (when a player missed a putt.

"wow" about 500 times.

the phrase 'right there' after anything said, eg, "that was a tough shot, right there"    arrrggghhhhh,  

get up tomorrow and listen to them, Bruce is no where near as bad, every stupid possibility is raised, "if he wins this that will be blah blah blah"

imagine if our footy commentators were all like them retards, another classic was, "i used to hate these putts in the US open, toughest putts these putts"  describing a 2 meter putt, he must think the British Open, The Masters and the US PGA OPEN, 2 meter putts were not hard,  sorry guys, getting ready for it all over again at 2am in the morning, for the play off, I'm going to put a little wager on Rocco beating the sook who throws his clubs all over the joint, Tiger, he should change his name too, the idiot.

Yes, OK, i will take a pill.

Answer 12

IT'S TOO BAD YOU ALL CAN'T HEAR JOHNNY MILLER DO THE US OPEN GOLF COVERARGE,  HE'S EXCELLENT.   POINTS OUT THINGS WITH GREAT INSIGHT AND EXPLANATION.  THE SUPERLATIVES ARE THERE, BUT VERY TASTEFULLY DONE.

HEY HOW BOUT, " APPLEBY ",  HOPE HE KNOWS THE HEIMLICH MANUVER.....

TIGER WILL WIN TODAY!

HE IS THE GREATEST ATHLETE AT HIS OWN SPORT, EVER.

THAT'S ALL FOLKS!

Answer 13

Rex Hunt is the WORST! He rrrreeeeeeaaaaaaallllllllllyyyyyy pisses me off!

Answer 14

Yes, he annoys the c**p out of me as well.

My missus reckons he must have signed a lengthy contract with Channel 7 for them to keep him on. As soon as I hear his voice I turn the volume off. I'd rather go without sound than hear his commentary during a game.

He tries to make out that he is knowledgeable on every sports subject & we all know that he is quoting from notes when he is big noting himself. If possible, he is even worse when doing the horse racing show on C7 during the Cups carnival. A real pain in the backside.

Answer 15

Yep totally agree, he was better wen he kept it simple with the one liners like "That was 'special'" and "How 'miraculous'", Hes kicked a "magnificent" goal or my favourite...

Oh its a magical moment it really is... hahahaha

EDIT: Hahaha oh stop it zero my bellys hurting!!! Wat a classic!

Answer 16

yes he is a tool

Answer 17

i can't stand him they should use him as a football, that would be CLEVAAAA!
