Murray Deaker Sports Talk, NewstalkZB and Radio Sport

We at Daisycutter Sports Inc. do not recommend you put yourself
through the mortification of listening to Murray Deaker's six-hour
Sunday marathon, ever. Ever. However, it is important that overseas
fans, as well as New Zealanders, realise the genesis of so much of the
nonsense that is spouted by the feral end of the Kiwi football
fraternity, whether on rec.sport.rugby.union, sports talk radio or
some other forum---like the pub. That obnoxious drunken loudmouth in a
bar in Auckland, or Sydney, or London, boring people to death about
the "arrogant" Graham Henry and the "dumb" Polynesian players
responsible for the All Blacks losing at the World Cup? He's a fairly
recent phenomenon, making his first appearance only after the
establishment of Radio Sport in April 1998. And he is, almost
certainly, a Murray Deaker disciple.

In today's show, Deaker has on as a guest the CEO of the NZRU, Steve
Tew. This is in itself remarkable, as Deaker has for many years
repeatedly maligned and calumnized Tew and the NZRU. Over the years,
Deaker has constructed a lunatic grand schema which blames everyone
and everything, from the All Black coaching staff to female primary
school teachers to "dumb" Polynesian players to the "politically
correct" Labour government, for the All Blacks "failing" to win the
World Cup for the last 23 years. While every person this writer (i.e.,
moi) knows regards Deaker as an irrational, vulgar bore, he has a
faithful rotation of (elderly) callers ready to endorse his theories.
Dissenters are cut off smartly.

In today's mercifully short interview (Tew must have granted him the
bare minimum) Deaker tells Tew that "a lot of people think that the
New Zealand Rugby Union is ARROGANT and out of touch." Tew manfully
refrains from laughing at the irony of DEAKER saying that, and makes
some fogging comments, assuring the listeners that "we are not
arrogant at this organisation."

Deaker asserts that there are people who are bewildered by certain
rulings by the ref when watching a game. Tew, ever eager to placate
Deaker, restrains himself from making the obvious reply: "Yes, there
are lots of silly infringements, and we need to make the game
simpler."

Deaker, restrains himself from making the obvious reply: "Yes, there

simpler."
Instead of such commonsense, Tew comes up with something utterly
bizarre: he states, in what seems to be high seriousness: "Yeah, I
agree. And there are suggestions to have the refs miked up and
broadcast to the whole stadium so they can provide a running
commentary throughout the game for the benefit of the fans."

Now, bear in mind the situation Tew was in when he uttered those
bizarre words: he was talking on Murray Deaker's show, where the
crazed rant is the preferred mode of discourse, and commonsense is
snarlingly dismissed as "politically correct" or "nuts" or "garbage".
So Tew possibly felt he was in a kind of charmed space where he was
free to liberate into the airwaves the most insane thing that was
oppressing his brain. And they don't come any more insane than
broadcasting referees' comments to a whole stadium. Deaker, as one
would expect of the marginally sane, harrumphed his assent.

Now, I know of not one football fan who is not driven to the point of
ultraviolence while listening to the nonstop prattle of referees. From
Paddy O'Brien's never-ending flow of inanities, to Steve Walsh
Junior's chatter (accompanied by eye-widening gestures of
ingratiation) to the arrogant strutting and chatter of Paul Honiss,
the wired-up referee is a blight on the game.

Yet Tew is here endorsing a plan to afflict SIXTY THOUSAND PEOPLE or
more, en masse, with the idiotic observations and asides of these
whistle-happy, talkative prats. God help the game if that ever
happens.

You wouldn't happen to work for one of 1ZB's competitors?

With thin whining about the refs and the inconsistencies I would expect
people to WANT to know WHY the ref did certain things. If the were to
broadcast the refs "decision" channel separately I, for one, would
probably mix it in with the main "stadium buzz" audio. But then I dont
mind listening to the ref as it is.

No, I'm just a fan. The only "competitor" of !ZB is Radio Live, which
has, incredibly, thrown a lifeline to the inept Martin Devlin, who
takes all his opinions and stances direct from Deaker himself.

Over TV is one thing but at the stadium is different.
Firstly you can't turn the twat off like you can at home.
But more importantly the ref will be even more open to influence by
the crowd even more than they do today.
I think Tew assumes the crowd will understand the refs decision after
hearing him.
If the crowd hears the ref and disagrees (which they will if the
decision goes against the home team) they will respond.
