How wrong was Joey Johns

[redwhiteblue]

Thanks. It's just a closer pic of my previous avatar. I bought that car back in 2002, for my 50th birthday.
Got the ROOSDA numberplate at the same time.
It's a 1999 BMW M3 anniversary edition.
6 speed manual, 3.2 litre 6.
Only 70 brought into the counrtry , all numbered with a silver plaque.
So I've had it for 21 years now.
I drove it from Brisbane to Sydney a few times in 2002, including the GF.
Still drives like a dream.

It's gorgeous and I'm not even car person. I see all manner of show offs in my area all the time but I take no notice (I'm the Shania Twain "that don't impress me much" type of girl) and now that you've mentioned the number plates, I love it even more.

I wish you many more safe travels in it

I think Joey John's also said that "we could well see these two teams facing off in the Grand Final " on Friday night . Would love to see that !

What does Thurston offer? he stands there like a dope and does his stupid laugh more than he talks. They really are trying to force these guys into being something they are not.

i hate to say it ...jt almost seems like he ticks a virtue signalling box . i got nothing against him , but a commentator he is not , i dont mind brandy, brenton speed, joey is good when he talks footy , especially the way he can analyse a play. slater and smith i dont mind either despite hating them as players, i really miss sterlo he was great ...

Thanks RWnB, It is a beautiful car, been up and down to Sydney many times. Now it's just a fine weekend cruiser, here on the Gold Coast, a Sunday drive for breakfast near the beach. I'll never sell it, only done 155,000 kms in it's 24 years.

I couldn't cope..my doctor's a Roosters fan..I don't think she could prescribe something for that..

Hope all is well with you Crab.

Well I'm coming home to Queensland in August so if I see you driving around, I'll know it's you!

The way he ambushed Trent over the '6 to go' 10 minutes after the grand final was a disgraceful way to speak to a coach who had just earned back to back premierships. I've never seen Trent look so angry and rightly so.

Sterlo was great because he has that analytical mind and studied whilst playing, so he has a good level head on his shoulders. I hope he is enjoying a peaceful life mowing the lawn and listening to the races..that's all he said he wanted to do anytime anyone asks him about a coaching career.

Sterlo is probably the best league commentator I've heard. Overall I think that the cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle is the best caller in all sports board casting. He has a great understanding of the game he calls and is analytically sound. He is unbiased and respects strong performances from any individual player or team. But above all is always passionate about the game he is calling. Harsha is a wonderful ambassador for cricket and I think a number of the NRL's media personalities could learn a thing or two about sports commentary from him.

How..... for the life of me........... did he get to be an immortal?


Unbelievable.

And then when there's a decision from a ref that's just right they go in a pompous tone: "I'M O.K. WITH THAT!'.......Oh, really!? Well, thank God for that! The game can continue now!

Richie Benaud was the best. An absolute gentleman and brilliant commentator. He knew when to shut up and let the pictures do the talking. There will never be another like him.

You didn't watch much of the recent test series if you think Harsha is unbiased

Agree with you

Joey was no worse than the criticisms of the team you can read on here.
