paul, when commentating & your not sure how much time is left please say we've played xxx minutes in the quarter, not guess & say 'there is almost 4 minutes left' which infact there was about 20 seconds left when you said it today, i & a few others around me all said 'well we still have time' when hearing it, i understand it can get emotional at times but spare a thought for everyone listening as we all presumed that the timekeepers had told you there was almost 4 minutes left, i'm not trying to come at you in the form of criticism just what can help us all in other games in the future

thanks bayman

Im Paul's biggest critic but I must admit I was suprised how short the last quarter was, I went to get a beer at the 20 min mark expecting another 10 mins of play the siren went when I was walking back to my place.

a commentator said 'fartassing' today!!!!



it was before half time, probably 2nd qtr....anyone else hear it? who was it???

LOL....footy!

Like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west...some things in life just never change ...

Not one of the best going around, that's pretty certain.

ironically i was at noarlunga & was listening to lifefm to get a score from alberton & john nankerville says the scores etc just before 3/4 time he then states that there wouldn't be much time left in the quarter without giving the listeners the wrong info etc (or something like that i think john has read this post )

well done paul you took onboard the 'advice' all day i heard we've had 12 & 1/4 minutes into the 2nd 1/4 etc rather than guess how long is left, i thankyou for your prompt rectifying of your calling & keep up the good work

Hmmm... a missing ten minutes. Sounds like a simple case of alien abduction. Better check your rectum in case they left a probe (dare I say it?) ...behind.

Surprised there wasn't an on-air explosion about people on websites about this forum

Shouldn't it be Paul Blandas?
