it's pretty rich of slater to criticise someone else's commentary considering he can barely string a coherent sentence together.
i might be in the minority but i personally loved foz's commentary.
Slater and Foster... both players...neither commentators IMO...give me Ned Zelic anyday
I hope he likes prison food.......and penis
I don't rate Slater much as a Commentator either but I agree with him, I had to watch the Australian games in mute. Foster was and is terrible at Commentating, small things like Timmy's off side goal versus Chile Foster said "Cahill is arguably offside" when blind freddy could see he was clearly 2ft offside. There were many more I can't think of off the top of my head but I give up and mute was the better option.
Foz is a shocking commentator. Some of what he said was cringeworthy and embarrasing. So much so that when i was out for the chile game people were really laughing at him.
In saying that, Slater saying anything is like Hey Dad having a go at Uncle Rolf!
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
Fosters big problem during a game is that he doesn't commentate. Its 90mins of analyisis. It bores the shit out of me and sucks the fun out of any game. There is a place for analysis, but its not during the game.
And for FFS, he sounded like he was going to top himself at the end of the Spain game when we were 3 down.
Problem is, the Fox commentary is equally bad in other ways.
Slater calling someone else on bad commentary though is ****ing hilarious, as was fosters response on twitter.
Two powerhouse intellectuals going toe to toe.Craig_Foster: @RobbieSlater17 Rob, your thoughts are excretions. I long ago tired of your intellectual bowel movements. Bit harsh, eminently constructive
I love him because he clearly isn't a commentator. He is an analyst who can't help but let his MASSIVE football fan come to the fore. Doesn't hide his bias at all and let's his emotions overflow.
If you start thinking that he is actually a commentator when he isn't, that's where hate comes from. And hate leads to fear. Fear leads to loathing. And fear and loathing lead to Las Vegas.
Can't stand him to be honest. To me it's the constant "I know what is best for football in this country, we need this, we need to do that, we need to focus on this, you're a shit coach, you're a shit coach". I get he's an analyst (questionable), but if he think he knows all the answers,give it a go, get out of your air conditioned office with all your cheat sheets of statistics and drawing triangles on a tv screen and jump into the pressure cooker of coaching.
I understand his job is to analyse, and that generally involves being critical, but i really just want him to give it a crack, since he seems to know how to be number 1 in the world.
