Quote: Foz "Ormsby's Ok with it i'd say as i was one of the tweeters that sent him a pic which he retweeted with one of those "crying laughing" faces that i presume comes with an iphone or something. He also favourited it.
With regards to Eddie and Stevo, there's nothing wrong with them, sometimes a game can be dull as dishwater and they sometimes have to try and get SOMETHING interesting out of a game. Yeah they can prattle on but i bet every single one of us would have certain things we say ALL of the time without realising it. Theirs just gets picked up on due to length of service. Vossy was a great one off but can you imagine the moaning if we had a full season of his Michael Palin type escapades? Sure it was funny hearing him talking of his pork roll at the Rodney but 16 weeks into a season and that packet of pickled onion crisps in Halifax becomes wearing.
Similarly i see people moaning about Boots and All yet praising The Footy show. They're completely different animals, Boots and All is a RLs new magazine show, The Footy show while entertaining is more like Harry Enfield and Chums than anything. Again, people moan if B&A comes anywhere near doing a skit, but love TFS for it.'"
Spot on. People also forget that in the early days of Boots n All they used to do gags and sketches etc, they got all kinds of criticism for it. The Sunday Footy Show is more akin to boots, where as the Thursday night version is Australia's answer to that 'celebrity juice' nonsense.
