FAO: Aussie Reds

[MARTINOZ]

I came on to give him **** too, but you lot beat me to it. He is a horrible little cunt! Something needs to be done. There must be some way to let SBS know how many people dislike this guy's biased opinions. He never gives any credit for a job well done if it's us. He must die!

He's a muppet. Surely with the number of LFC fans in Oz SBS must get a flood of emails about him.

Seriously think I will watch ESPN and Tommy Smyth next week. Although if we go through I suspect I will turn over to watch Fozzie crying.

Me too.

The guy has serious issues and needs to take a chill pill.

It;s not as though he was a good player himself so I don't know why he only applaudes teams that play the " beautiful " game. Give credit were credit is due Foster, we got an away draw which is what we wanted

[carlton]

Just finished watching a replay and I would really like to smash that smarmy prick in the gob. What a cocky arrogant ****. Gave us no credit at all. Nothing. 'Arsenal destroyed Liverpool' he reckoned. Destroyed? I'd like to destroy his face.

This is what gets me about him. He doesn't acknowledge the away factor in a 2 legged tie. We did our job superbly in the face of a very talented team. If we get through we will have shown all that is required to succeed in this competition. Again.

Mr Craig Foster,

It's not how pretty you look but what you have stacked in the cabinet.

Trophies, you ****en tit.

[Matt]

Foster is one of the few things I don't miss about Australia.

[Skillz]

Foster is one of the few things I don't miss about Australia.

I'd guess he would top that list or be very close.

[vlahka]

So where can we complain about this toss pot?

[Matt]

I'd guess he would top that list or be very close.

It's not a long list. Off the top of my head I can only think of Foster, spiders, schooners and Bert Newton.

[bacon]

Doesnt he read the SBS news now too?

[Skillz]

It's not a long list. Off the top of my head I can only think of Foster, spiders, schooners and Bert Newton.

I didn't say it would be a good guess. Pretty ****en obvious really. He's a bloody embarrassment.

Just received this reply from SBS about a complaint I put in about Foster. Such a p&%*! It has an address where you can send snail mail to.

Dear XXXXX,

SBS,

Thank you for showing the Arsenal v Liverpool ECL match this Thursday
morning. I'm glad there is still some live free to air football on the
box!

However, I would like to complain about presenter/commentator Craig
Foster. I have never heard a commentator be so biased against a team.
I appreciate that people have their favourite and least favourite
teams and players. Yet as a commentator I feel Craig Foster should
present an unbiased commentary and 'analysis' (if that's what you can
call it).

I may not have played for the mighty Crystal Palace, but I know a good
performance when I see it. Liverpool may not have had much possession
in the match, yet their defensive display was amazing. Mr Foster
refuses to give any credit to Liverpool in any match SBS show, and
never fails to insult or belittle the team's efforts. He also never
fails to be amazed with Manchester Utd or Chelsea - I appreciate these
teams are playing great football, but would it hurt to throw a little
credit somewhere else apart from the fashionable end of town? I feel
Mr Foster negates the otherwise great show SBS present.

This is the second time I have complained about Mr Foster's
commentary. I am aware of at least 15 people who have the same opinion
of him. The best pundit on your channel is Tony Palumbo, at least he
is fair.

Unless Craig Foster changes his pathetic attitude and grows some
maturity, I can see more and more people turning away from the SBS
broadcast to watch the matches on other means, such as the streaming
that is available online. Yes, people prefer to listen to a language
they don't understand, rather than Craig Foster banging on about C.
Ronaldo's new hair colour.

In the end though, Liverpool got the result, so while Arsenal's
football was the prettiest, it didn't mean anything in the end. (How
many Champions League's has Wenger won Craig?) Now, isn't that the
measure of a club? Results and trophies. See you in Moscow Craig...
(oh wait... Palace never got that far... - no disrespect to said club).

XXXXX XXXXX


So, is the head of sport Les Murray?? Surely Les would have to have a word to him if he got enough complaints?

[ningnangnong]

I bet you that Les hates him as well.

Les is a legend, he is beyond criticism. If anyone criticises Les they are going to cop a shellacking from me.

That David Basheer fella seems like a good bloke, but seriously i don't think he'd be able to tell the difference between a spoon and a plane. The amount of times he got someone's name wrong was atrocious.

That said, i'll take Craig Foster over Tommy Smyth anyday of the week. At least we don't have to listen to Foster for 90 minutes unlike Tommy 'he's knocked that right into the old onion bag' Smyth.

I miss the days of Simon Hill on SBS. I remember early on in his career on Fox, he subliminally ripped into Foster.

Seriously i bet no one at SBS likes Foster.

Good on ya for doing that. We should past a link to this thread so they can get some viewer feedback on craig foscock.

Hill was a great commentator, and also a great pundit. I remember that little dig he had at Cockfoster
