    Have your say about biased commentators on FOXTEL.

    Fox has a chat room called the Crowd which some of you may find interesting.
    I've had a go at Marto etc but was a bit to strong for some and had my first post removed! I re submitted it and it still seems to be there now.
    Could do with a few more people letting fox know what you think.
    Give to em!

    There's a Kiwi guy on there saying that the only unbiased commentators are the New Zealand ones.

    That'll dead set do me. At least the Fox commentators are only biased against one Oz team. The Kiwis are biased against everybody from outside UNZUD.

    I think the Kiwi commentators are quite fair and have a lot of time for the under-dog Force club, however the English speaking Saffa commentators/com' box are by far the most respectful chaps towards the touring team, I really enjoy their commentating. (as much as it hurts to say)....by far the best!!

    I watched the WF v Tah's replay when I got home from Nib on Saturday night.
    Wow, Phil Kearns cannot let go of his precious days spent playing for NSW long enough to ever compliment the opposing team.
    If the Force did something good, Kearns immediately shot back with, "The Tah's let that happen".
    Made it even sweeter when he was forced to commend the force on an epic win haha.
    it was like witnessing someone having their teeth pulled

    I must admit I don't find the Kiwis that bad on the whole. SA commentators are by far the best IMO.

    The worst part about the FoxSports commentators is they're broadcast worldwide for every nation to witness their biased dribble.
    Sitting in a bar with the locals in RSA when the Fox commentators are in full swing is embarrassingly shameful.
    The biased remarks wanted to make me sink into my chair and disappear.
    The aussie commentators certainly don't help Australia's sporting image the slightest.

    And our sporting image isn't helped by players like JOC, Beale, and the like.
    Even the rubbish our cricketers were talking over the summer was boorish and cocky.
    We need some humility. We aren't the best. Stop acting like we are.

    They are certainly seem to be the most knowledgeable of the competition as a whole, not just the teams in their own conference. Sean Maloney is similar also.

    Isn't Sean Maloney a breath of fresh air. Defiantly have respect for him.
