So much better than the rubbish from Channel 7

Only just heard about this but WHAT - this is what everyone’s angry about? He wasn’t talking about sexual assault at all - he just made a joke about the doctor licking his fingers after doing the sweep…people are nuts lol

why is this flog at the beginning talking about a pregnant woman on a football show

Hahaha - definitely responds to Spanish.

the media is the offensive element , while Barry is just honest and forthright . Disgusting on the part of the others in the studio .

Women make jokes about cutting a man's penis off on air or just shaming men in general & you don't hear any of them losing their job. These days women are so protected from everything whether it's vulgar or just the truth! But anything goes when it's a straight man?

His wife is the only person qualified to be offended.

wtf, is that was all the fuss was about? inappropriate sure, but not fucking career ending, jesus christ

as an obese black muslim who identifies as a woman.... i am offended by this

I don’t understand the issue...

This is nothing. People just get but gurt about things that have nothing to do with them. I think if the public didn't complain he wouldn't have gotten fired. Triple M most likely fired him to not get bashed and have their image ruined.

Is THAT all it was

Small brains think this kind of thing is funny. No class. Glad he's not my husband.

So this is what 60 minutes couldn't broadcast? Fuck, you Aussies get must get pissed off easier than our American SJWs.

Seems like an ordinary conversation to me.

If that's Brett Thomas, he's made a good comeback to get on Triple M. I'd say he'd rather be with with the cool kids on fm :-)

Sitting here on beach in Thailand with the legend that said this

I came here to see what the fuss was about. Was that it?

You all should be ashamed of yourselves! Absolute pigs!

Ah grow up! no wonder ya got the sack ya sick mutt...you all sound like fuckin 10yr olds...

No sound me either

"100 000 people and they can't breathe!!!!" What a call!

I didn't hear this as I was listening to ABC 891AM at that time.

Thanks - This is epic commentry

Love you Gerald.

Is that it?! I honestly was expecting something about his wife and 'sweepong'. Not some shit one liner that would struggle to raise a laugh out of an immature 13year old black male (due to content being so lame!!!!)

Osman Faruqi worked for the ABC and even the greens,he said on many occastions that white people are starting to get fucked,we're is the outrage on that!

Barry Hall is just another sporting thug who feels entitled to denigrate others and worse, use his fists without regard for the safety and well being of others. His comments have nothing to do with freedom of speech, it has more to do with respect for others, of which he has little. Only a low-life takes pleasure in the pain of others, and disregards their right to privacy. And this has nothing to do with political correctness. It's an abuse of privilege. If no one can see the difference, then that person and Hall are on the same plane.

Misogyny. Any woman that would give these clouts the time of day needs her head examined. If I were an employer, I wouldn't want any of them representing my company/business/team either. They did this to themselves, & I don't feel sorry for them at all. Who raises men like this? I'd say wolves, but that would be disrespectful to the animal kingdom.

Nothing wrong with it and im sure there is an off option for the radio. Turn on the news you'll see lil children burned and decapitated while dying horrible deaths and most people are desensitized to these images or couldn't care. It was a stupid thing to say but c'mon people harden the fuck up and realize we live in an extreme world with extreme events and when the next war comes we will have a nation of pussies fighting for us

Is this all he said?! Bloody hell, get over it, it was a stupid comment but seriously it's not degrading towards women, it's a bad joke and may be offensive to some. Guess what world, you are allowed to be offended.

It's not political correctness bringing these people down its there stupidity, he's made a fool of his wife if nothing else.

Australia was offended by this according to the MSM ? Australia is offended by everything , this P/C bullshit has taken on the elements of a mental illness . who gives a shit . if they want to be vulgar crude morons and talk this kind of rubbish , even without a few beers in , let them , they have freedom of speech , they are free to be idiots and people have got to accept being offended as part of life. they want his family to suffer after he is sacked , for this ???? the liberal left are cancer !!!

boys pub talk . They all should have been dragged

Well, Monsiuer Hall made a faux pas.Thanks to modern times,the internet,social media,youtube etc,Monsiuer Hall will never be allowed to forget that mistake and his life tarnished/changed forever.Just another in a long list of notable people who's punishment will far outweigh their crime.

Why was only Hall sacked? The other dickheads were right in the with him, laughing away. And why was someones wife's medical procedure being discussed on public radio anyway? Hall didn't start this topic one of the other brain dead morons did. But this is FM radio after all. Stupid comments to entertain the brain dead immature masses. Someone further down said that you will hear the same thing at any public bar. Whilst still stupid, and a reflection on the level of your own mentality if that who you hang out with, it's very different to broadcasting to a public audience. So should they be excused? Well, no but in mitigation: 1) This is FM radio so we know both the audience and the presenters will be shallow, vacuous morons. 2) This is a footy show so we know the audience and the presenters will be shallow, vacuous morons.

A lot of pressure on radio to be funny and entertaining

Why the fuck are these idiots even talking about this....

That's it! That's all Bazza said and they sacked him for it.. What a load of shit. It's called having a sense of fucking humor!!

Ball Hall gets the sack for being saying something disgusting, but Eddie McGuire can make monkey "King Kong" jokes about Adam Goodes and its all ok. Triple M what a shit radio station.

I have a legitimate question. How did Barry Hall ever get a woman to like him?

Big deal. In some countries women get stoned but this is what feminists and soy boys get their panties in a bunch over.

Typical FM radio.

Everyone else on that panel laughed and carried on. Should they all be sacked as well? It was a fukin joke ffs, get over yourselves....

All of them should be sacked...

I think the worst part of this is that in Australia we love bogan fuckwits. We have no class. Why would the media want to perpetuate this halfwit, bogan culture that has, and is being popularised every day. Its not tough and its not even funny. Barry the wife beater, lets celebrate the fuckwit some more...

One minute it's all Super-Liberal,anything and anyone goes,freedom freedom freedom, then all of a sudden it's Super-Conservative,act like your Nanna raised you,manners,manners manners,etiquette all the way.. I've heard c-bombs and m'fers all over TV lately(Foxtel mainly) and that all seems kosher. Society really needs to pick and stick with what it's going to get enraged and offended about to end the confusion.

This PC world we live in is a joke. That’s the biggest crime here. Can’t even make an inappropriate joke without losing your job.

So this is what guys on radio think of woman,

inappropriate discussion on a footy show. you should all be ashamed of yourselves.
