‘I nearly fell off my chair’: Ray Hadley on going up against John Laws in 2002

[@DanielCPhillips]

I think it is safe to say that Radio is going the way of the VCR and the Fax machine. So the call that the feat of 20 years at the top of radio ratings will not be repeated is probably a good call. As much as it has had its day, I think that day is gone.

[@lesleyweber4585]

Ray is a great caller of sport,on radio during the day he’s a straight shooter and good to the under dogs.

[@johnking5759]

No - he's just a dog.

[@andrewwilliams3405]

Working every weekend and public holidays is not impressive.

[@dafinker3443]

The “Gidday Mate how are ya” wears awfully THIN 🤮

[@anthonycunningham5872]

An all around generous and great man.

We must pray for the conversion of Muslims, Atheists and LGBT to Christianity. ✝️ 🙏 ✝️

[@Berserker978]

Fk you. Christian Fundamentalists are just as bad.

[@colinmcalister8704]

Hadley is that the crud between John Laws toes never heard of him.

[@robertholstein5039]

Alan Jones made Ray Hadley. Hadley's ego is way too big to admit that though.

[@John_1_0]

Used to really enjoy listening to RH but his blind allegiances to vaccinations, Israel and the pro-western Ukraine narrative has left me thinking that he is not the straight shooter he makes out to be. He either doesn't check the facts or is outright lying to us. Either way, I can't put up with it anymore.

[@malcolmcarter2675]

Fkin oath mate, I used to respect him but he's just like the rest huh? And - he still spews invective supporting the zionist regime.

[@bbkingwasthegreatest711]

Ray should have won for that call, I didn't hear it though as I was in the stadium watching the race but heard it later as I watched the event on KZbin over the years, it was unbelievable to be there though. One thing that struck me was that Kathy was so small compared to the other runners who were all so athletic and strong looking, but once she started running she was like a gazelle in her movements so fluid graceful and light and that suit made her look even more so, what an experience to be there.

[@stuartthompson7102]

Good on you Ray. You are a real person sir.

[@marcushudswell7389]

a real person? as opposed to whom?.....

[@KeithDevine-k9q]

Hadley is at his best when he is talking about himself.

[@jb7591]

Hadley thanked everyone except the one person that helped catapult him into success and that was Alan Jones.

[@malcolmcarter2675]

He will be working on his 'I barely knew him, never liked him.......' speech around about fkin now huh?.........

[@marcushudswell7389]

why do people listen to this guy? sports commentator, not a politician, not a leader, not a doctor or lawyer, what am i missing?

[@twodogswalking840]

Hadley is about to end up on the wrong side of history like many others.

[@peterkirgan2921]

Hads Is a great man ! I listen to him occasionally I know he had a rough trot with his past wives ! But haven't we all ?? Lol met him through my Cousin Mark Goldie Gold & Cab Calloway aka Graham part owner of Spitfire! Great horse !! Sad to hear that you're retiring look after Sophie!😮

[@margarethennessey5182]

Congratulations Ray having a good rating. and I mean it. Calling the football I’m glad it’s you doing it. Doing a great job. I like to listen to you every week day. Albanese sits in limousines and his own plane. No thank you I like to drive myself. Be don to earth and your better off.
