Tim Blair

"It's funny 'cause it's true."

OK. I've offended as many people as Tim. Neener! I'm facing greater danger from Hurricane Isabel.

Go Pies!

Hmmmm, has Collingswood expelled any supporters, who didn't meet their criteria? That's the only way to prove that Collingswood fans are indeed a bit better.

Hey, Tim, can't you use your vast influence as a member of the media to get the Australia Football League to make a deal with ESPN to show games on American tv? They used to have a highlight show at least.

GO THE SWANNIES!

Port Adelaide - Suffer in your jocks! Go Pies

Hmm, must come from playing without helmets.

What happened to Sam and Greg?

As far as I know the only way to get watch most AFL matches in the US is to get Fox Sports World. Even their coverage is fairly sparse. And it is usually late at night.

As I am already on a Yellow card for use of flowery turns of phrase to attack trolls I shall decline from accurately describing my hatred of the Colliwobbles. Then again there isn't a send off rule in AFL is there. . .

Jabba, the coverage is on FOX Sports World as derf says. We have all the details at AFANA and if you read my blog you'll learn why it's not on ESPN and isn't likely to be any year soon. Unfortunately.

Since we don't get the Footy Show in the USA what do they think about the Pies chances for the Grand Final?

Tattooed, toothless, pissing on people at the pub, spitting on opposition players. Collingwood supporters are just a little bit better than the rest of us.

Actually, I do the supporters a disservice that was a member of the team that pissed on the girl at the pub.

It must all be a charade Tim: I can swallow the satirical car-loving Arab-hating conservative hard man act to a point - shit, if PJ O'Rourke's selling franchises we can't blame you for taking one up, but a fucking Collingwood supporter as well. Are you trying to channel pure evil or something?

Alex, wasnt' that a Hawk? Whatever, fades into nappy piss stuff compared to Ex-Cat now Crow Ronnie Burns pissing into a girl's picnic hamper at the Geelong races.

It was Aaron James. Soon after 'the incident' he was traded to Richmond.

I believe it was a charming character by the name of Aaron James (playing for Collingwood at the time) that pissed on a girl at a nightclub.

Doh! Alex beat me to the punch.

I would have thought the two main characteristics required by a dedicated Collingwood supporter would be an extraordinary capacity for dissapointment, and a preternatural tolerance for ridicule; for Sydney, see South Sydney supporter.

And the ability to drive other people's buses short distances.

The players I mean, not the supporters.

The supporters are bussed in from somewhere.

Tim, was it Phil Cleary who you did interview with?

Green Guide 18th Sept

"...Mr Cleary is using his program and webpages to promote a thorough-going radical socialist agenda; one which is demonstrably anti-Prime Minister Howard and Australia's foremost allies, George W Bush and Tony Blair. Cleary has a right to his views and 3AK management is free to permit him to do so. What they are not at liberty to do is slant the facts" writes Chuck Brooks, Robina Qld.

Questions arise: what the hell is Chuck up in Qld doing scanning metro melb radio sites for political slant?

Tim, were you joining Phil in the conspiracy against our fine leaders?

The people need answers! 'course, if it wasn't Phil, I'm hoist on my own petard.

Wasn't Phil. Was Peter and Wendy.

Chuck spends his whole life scanning radio, tv and every other media form for commies; he is a former marine with a lot of time on his hands. Chuck used to be on a movie review show on local public broadcast UHF station Briz31, with some air-head hippy female whose name escapes me; Chuck was hilarious, and often would have the silly bint in tears or on the verge of stomping off the set nearly every week. Pity it's gone.

How can you take a sport seriously when it has a girly name like "footy?"

wehat about Boofy ?

I'm sure AK's three listeners got the joke,

Ex-ABC refugee Doug Aiton is now on 3AK as is the eccentric Roland Rocchecioli who frequently chats on Sunday nights with Tony Abbott in between describing the trials of living with his ailing 92-year-old mother Beria.

Beats the hell out of Radio National. Maybe their three listeners have moved to 3AK.

Collingwood are a bunch of poofs.

Sadly for 3AK ilibcc, they would love to have Radio National's figures.

Their 0.7 registered in Victorian ratings today is almost tripled by the 1.9 registered by RN. As for local ABC, they continue their rise in popularity rising almost a point to 13.2.

Mothers, keep your daughters away from Victoria. Leftists under the bed, leftists at the tram stops...good god, leftists at the footy!

Radio National has a magnificent signal all over Victoria, nothing but the best for the ABC, the farmers LOVE listening to Phillip Adams.

3AK's signal extends to, like, Wheelers Hill or West Sunshine or somewhere.

maybe we could raise money for a new 3AK transmitter?

more people have to hear phil cleary undermining our leaders, and tim building 'em up! that's what i call balance.

Phil can be quite good. Having been a politician, he knows his audience is aware of his general stance and doesn't try to pretend he's always strictly impartial.
