Coast Football Ramble Podcast

[priorpeter]

Would like to discuss the long-running joke of mumbling all announcements related to the opposition. I believe this falls under the responsibility of Mr Prior.
It started as a cheeky joke, but not hearing who the goalscorer was, or who is being substituted rather defeats the purpose.
Monotone is fine, but please share the information without me needing to pull out my phone to check.
Would you guys agree?

I see you’ve also posted this over on Reddit, so firstly thanks for calling me out across (at least) 2 public forums. My DMs are open, if it is really that big of a deal (and I’m guessing it must be, for you to fire up your forum account which hasn’t been posted from since 2013), you could’ve just messaged me with the suggestion. Appreciate the feedback ?

Strong disagree. Its just so good! It instantly removes the pain of a goal conceded.
Also, most of us view the game through yellow tinted glasses so we don't care about the other clowns that may have scored against us.
Mr Prior was a legend in the stands and now he is a legend in the announcer's box. He is also a very very solid game caller.
So in the words of our spiritual guru and life coach Scottmac..........f**k Off.

Outstanding pod as always, can't get enough of this in my 1 hour commute in the snow every day!

I think Kaltak is starting to turn people's opinions, particularly after the Newy game, surely John is in trouble?

Also anyone know the song that was on at the end of that pod? I rate it

Given that 1 visa player has to go. John might be favourite?
No info just a guess?

I didn't realise there were multiple posts across the intarwebs re this one otherwise I would have left this one alone. I suggested - jokingly - a poll because I think we'll find pretty much unanimous support for your style of announcing. The lack of enthusiasm for the opposition vs the enthusiasm for the Mariners, love it. My personal favourite is Harry Steeeeeeeeeeeeeele. Anyway I wouldn't worry about it.

@montywoodpeg maybe bookmark this one https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=aleague+matches

World is full of angry people determined to feel slighted.
I'm sure if there were genuine complaints either from CCM or a opposition that the club would have a word.
Chill dude

 

[Tevor]

Everyone I sit with love it.

One of my favourite, favourite bands called Ceres - the song is called Burnley. First song I heard of theirs, and it never gets old for me.

Niceeee. I don’t think they’ve ever dropped anything I didn’t enjoy. Absolutely killer live too.

Shut up Pete

While you’re taking requests @priorpeter
In light of the Grand Final debacle how about calling every away team Sydney over the mic. Sydney Glory, Sydney Roar etc ?

 

[bikinigirl]

. nah the announcement I want is for example the recent Sydney game ... it should have been 'and the fourth official has indicated that SOMEHOW there will be a minimum of 5 minutes of time added on'

My apologies for presenting my message in an easily-misconstrued manner, genuinely.

I sit with my father during the games, and he's constantly leaning over to ask me what was just announced, so it's something I'm reminded of each match. I saw the post on reddit, and it was really the first time I'd thought about discussing it with anyone else. I responded there, then remembered that during every podcast you guys ask for feedback through the forum - which you accurately pointed out that I don't frequent very often.
I came here to post in what was certainly not meant to be an overly negative or "calling out" way, but to raise a discussion point for the podcast.

I'll take full responsibility for my poor communication. I've been to matches around Australia, and can't say I've heard a better stadium announcer. Last thing I'd want would be for you to step down from the role.

I'll forward the rest of my thoughts by DM.

To be honest I struggled to hear the ground announcements last night, I assumed it was a technical issue or just that the crowd was very loud (they were).

How about

Because the acoustics are so bad at the ground you would have thought that after 20 years they would have put speakers near the open areas.
And a roof
And wifi
And edible food
And decent beer
