    A friend of mine worked at the TAB for many years and told me that Ray Warren was their rudest customer.

      I am in the minority but I like Ray Warren.

      If you want to point the finger at a truly painful caller I give you..........................................Matt Nable.

      On the weekend him and Roach were like they were having a fireside chat about the old days. He hardly called the game.

      It reminded me of Tim Gilbert's last game - the City Country in Albury. He spent the whole game chatting and it was a fitting last game for the person revered as the worst caller in history.

      It's poetic that what seems to be Nable's last game was also something similar.

        100% agree. Nable has NFI

          Even before I get to the crap coming out of his mouth I can't even stand his voice.

            I am pretty sure you were one on several occasions?

            Great get on Hadley.

            Yeah but I'm allowed.

              I can cope with Rabs. He just makes me laugh as I've always thought he was such a square. But he did call a good 86 grand final. His team won it and for that time he signed off on what he thought was his final call, as Ten lost the rights and he was out the door. Lucky for him it was a revolving one.

              I can't cope with Hadley, who makes me want to turn the game off. Maybe if enough people did they'd be forced to replace him. Good on Ray Stehr for having Hadley on. Start practising your Turnbull and Shorten impersonations Ray, and give us the thumbs up when you're going to debut them. Even the Fordham drive show would do. Give us a laugh in the traffic jams. .

                He hasnt got a "commentators voice" thats true.

                More like the dopey guy at the pub/footy behind you barracking for the other team.

                  Good analogy.

                  For the first time ever I muted commentary last week and then I gave up and watched a movie instead.

                    I haven't heard a game with Hadley for a couple of years. That's automatic turn off the TV for me.

                    Luckily we haven't had him for ages.

                      Who is more painful to listen to?

                      1. Ray Warren on the footy or
                      2. Bill Lawry on the cricket

                        Throw in "Bellamy's Bunker". What a massive fail.

                          Apparently rabs was woeful on the punt, you don't see too many blokes grinning after they have done their arse.

                            Nabel and Roach are by far the worst to listen too, I love Brandy as he tells it like it is.

                              It's the reason he's still working at 75, he should have retired a long time ago, but hasn't been able to afford it.

                              I believe his current plan is to call it quits at the end of next season, although he has stated that he may go earlier if his health doesn't hold up. He also hates flying, so that stops him doing some games away from Sydney. If he doesn't have time to get there without flying, he generally won't call the game.

                                Used to see him on the punt all the time around Baulkham Hills. Nearly as mad on it as Paul Gow the former pro golfer
