He's ok in my opinion, but he has a tendency to, shall we say, "exaggerate" the emotion of the moment when an Indian does something good. He's not alone there. And he's still better than Simon O'Donnell.</p>Big Ramifications commented on 'WHEN THE GLOAT COMES IN'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef0105365560ec970c2004-01-10T04:20:57Z2008-12-09T20:48:49ZBig RamificationsI just found out I didn't mean Peter Roebuck.

I just found out I didn't mean Peter Roebuck. I meant the Pommie guy who has commentated on the Oz vs. India series on 9 television.</p>
<p>That guy was outright barracking for India.</p>
<p>Sorry 'bout the mixup.</p>
<p><br />
ps: Peter Roebuck is a *little* bit anti-Oz too, in my humble opinion.</p>Brett Pee commented on 'WHEN THE GLOAT COMES IN'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef010535eed02d970c2004-01-05T15:11:07Z2008-11-12T12:28:12ZBrett PeeIt means he's an intelligent bloke.

Turns out he'd been living in Australia since about 1950 something. It was put to him that Australia was a better place to live and he agreed. Didn't stop him screeching for Pomgolia. Wanker.</p>
<p>That'd be "Spanky" Roebuck, Big.</p>
<p>Roebuck is the only ever guy to captain an England side to a loss against Holland. He's had his cards marked LOSER a long time ago. That's probably why he left England. Never the less, he can talk some sense.</p>
<p>OD on some of your drugs, Cialis.

He must have had some talent on the park but as a journo he is frequently long on opinion and always short on fact.Send him back to England.</p>Brett Pee commented on 'WHEN THE GLOAT COMES IN'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef010535ee7263970c2004-01-02T12:06:09Z2008-11-12T07:55:08ZBrett PeeI was in Pomland a couple of years back ( come on, a bloke had to finish his studies )...<p>I was in Pomland a couple of years back ( come on, a bloke had to finish his studies ) and their attitude to sport sucks. They think they have a divine right to win everything, when, with the recent exception of Rugby Union, nothing concrete is in place for proper long term success. Their " 1st " class cricko set up is a joke- 6 day's a week overkill, footie every other day and professionals living in constant comfort zones.</p>Big Ramifications commented on 'WHEN THE GLOAT COMES IN'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef010535e89b7c970b2004-01-02T02:52:38Z2008-11-12T07:55:07ZBig RamificationsTwo words for ya: Peter.

I was in Bali watching the final in a bar and there were just a few poms there, one was your maniac lefty stereotype, Cambridge U, first met Bob Brown on the Franklin campaign (not a BAD idea I spose, but very poor company) and now works for an overseas aid agency (also not a BAD idea, but you get the drift).</p>
<p>Anyway, this prize lefty went off his trolley big time whenever England scored. I was sitting there quietly, sipping away at my Bintang, England scores, "fuck" I sez quietly to myself, and then this bloke jumps up, scatters the table all over the place, punches the air and shouts "YEEEEESSS, GO ENGGGGLAAND". I damn nearly died of fright it was so sudden.</p>
<p>Bloody insufferable dweeb. Oh, he was a vegetarian as well, and me a beef farmer.</p>
<p>All the krauts, frogs and yanks in the place were barracking for us, so the Wallabies would have won a popularity contest.</p>
