Any particular reason as to why you don't?

I didn't even know she had been sacked, I don't really listen much during the day. When you say crap, what is it exacrtly that you are talking about Dale?

Hopefully it was for her complete show of disrespect for Nathan Buckley a few weeks ago, I couldn't believe what I was hearing... As much as I loved to hate Buckley, he was a champion of the game and deserves more than what she dished up.

haha just managed to sneak in a tad early, but it was a terrible effort by for want of a better word a 'nobody' in regards to a retiring great. I actually felt disgraced a football follower, and can only imagine how outraged I would have felt had it been for say Robert Harvey (being a St. Kilda supporter). Collingwood fans and Nathan Buckley fans and Footy fans in genrel would have been shocked...

Have a listen to you clowns, what Rita said was SPOT ON! Problem is Collingwood have so many fans - it was magnified as her being negative about Bucks - and a whole war erupted. In actual fact I doubt most Collingwood fans would have even understood the pathetic way in which they saw Buckley out. For those who didnt hear it, at Buckleys press conference they played highlights of his career, the voiceovers done by the old bloke who narrates the introductions for Channel 10s footy telecast (yes those annoying intros they use). Imagine that voice saying, very slowly, "the fans roared 'kick it to Bucks'....'kick it to Bucks'" and "I was there....I saw that". It was laughable, Eddie and his mates want to throw stones at Channel 7 for their lame footy coverage, well the video Collingwood FC put together to farewell their great was pretty lame as well. Rita only said exactly what I was thinking when I heard it. And I'm not on my own.

It's part of her on air persona though. I do agree though that what she did wasn't right.

Apparently, she gave James Hird an absolute oral sex fest (or the best she could do on air) all season, then to do what she did when Bux retired, was just downright disgraceful. Back on topic, it's being suggested that Collingwood intend on appointing a coach to a team in a local league that will be the feeder club for their VFL team. This coach will then be used in a developmental role for future prospects at AFL level. One would assume this coach would also be Rowdy's assistant at VFL level. No indication of which team it will be as yet.

That's not true about her being Mark's partner. I have met Mark's wife at a function and it's definitely not Rita.
