On Fox Footy 30 secs ago, Eddie was interviewing Kane Cornes and I'M SURE he just signed off, in a lighthearted way and called him an 'old back and front', then quickly corrected himself. Wonder if anyone else heard it!!!!
Just replayed it. Clear as today's sky!!!!!!!
Try rhyming slang!!
It's up on facebook already it's true definitely happened Eddie is in big trouble surely. You can take the boy out of Broady......
PM an email address and I'll send the audio.....
I know what it means and I am shocked he let this one slip. I'll PM anyone who doesn't know this rhyming slang meaning.
Is it that bad you can't write it with a few %# added?
To call someone an "Old back and front", is to call them "an old c**t ". Not something you would say that is in the media. Between friends over a few drinks in private maybe. Not for listeners to hear.
Think a crass term for female genitalia.
An old insert alternative.
Someone slipped up similarly when saying gold coast sun's last year.
ahh Eddie Eddie Eddie. You try to hard buddy!
Cheers, Eddie must have forgot he was on air again.
He's a knob, but a powerfull one. Everyone in the industry is crape scared of him. It was a slip of the tongue, but he is Eddie Macguire and he is Teflon.
TBH it doesn't bother me one bit but he is surely in big trouble.

It takes a back and front to spot a back and front ...
No doubt and Eddie is definitely a big one at that. ;) ;D
How many people in this country can get away with a MAJOR racial slur and drop the C Bomb both live to air and still keep their job??
That C*** is cooked!
The thing is, all it will do is make him a bigger hero to the toothless hoards that support the bar-bellied jailbirds!
From Urban dictionary Eddie!!
Did anyone else see him trying to explain that if the goal review shows a finger moving back on a hand that it doesn't mean the ball touched the finger.
Went into examples and each one made no
Sense.
For a very smart man at times his love for the pies makes him lose his sense and say things a one eyed supporter would argue not a well respected president and media head.
By the way he used the Travis cloke touched goal from the boundary as his reason to question it. Coincidence that it just happened to be a magpie involved.
Please tell me that he won't be commenting on Friday night?
He drops that word and everyone goes ape over it, go figure.
He tried to say it was like the action movies where they don't really punch but the guy moves with the blow to make it look real and was trying to get Derm to act it out with him. Was he saying the Essendon player flexed his fingers back to pretend the ball touched it?
Eddie must be censured for his filthy language on live TV, keeps dropping the C bomb, 'Collingwood', disgusting IMHO.
I'd be interested to see if there is any fallout. There should be!
Made a mistake. Things happen. I actually thought it was funny.
Its a pretty stupid argument isnt it?
He would have been better off arguing that it wasnt a meaninful touch so the goal should be paid as we see that happen frequently and although its a source of frustration, we cannot goal review every shot at goal because odds are 9 out of 10 will get a bit of a flick on the way through.
Whether or not we want what I have stated to occur is a different matter but I would hazard that at a conservative estimate about 50% of marking contests would be touched in similar fashion and no one really gives a hoot about that aspect of it.
I heard Teddy Whitten one day calling a player using a "torpedo punt"...made a little boo boo did Ted.
:D
Same with Ed.
Thought he was in the locker room.
Will get a slap, but it wont be career ending.
We have to beat this up as much as possible, this is just the sort of opportunity opposition clubs take when they put the boot into us!
Some may argue we should take the high moral ground and set a good example! ???
I say "Feck em all" and put the boots it! ;D
Oh....Ok If we're beating it up :D
SACK HIM!!!!
He must stand down.
There doesn't seem to be any reaction. I reckon Eddie's slip of the tongue will be ignored.
Biggest non-news item of all time. It's not like he's the first to accidently drop the word. He was never in any trouble and nor should he be. Purlease.......let's move on.
Yep. He's got nothing to do with Carlton FC so no problem whatsoever. ::)
(No big deal anyway IMO).
That fat clown McGuire has ruined my life.
He has taken something I once loved, what little joy I had left, and robbed me of it.
He needs to be dragged through coarse bracken then publicly flogged for what he has done.
I'll never see a beautiful flower ever again without getting horrible visions of Kane Cornes smiling back! :(
I remember Rex Hunt slipping on " up country punt kick". Not sure how accidental it was...
He'd better be careful if horny team mates start seeing his head the same way :o :o
Pmsl that last paragraph is gold
Good glad you liked it, spread it around, I've fixed up the grammar.
These pricks are defenseless against humor. It the major reason why Little Johnny Howard use to kick the sh1te out of comedians at every opportunity. Laugh at them and they are like bullies, all they can do is go away!
Gerard Healy called the Suns the Gold Coast C@#%s recently on live TV!
So you are alleging this has become a systematic way of boosting their flagging ratings!
Where the hell did you read that in what I said?? You must be smokin' some good stuff today LP. ???
So not a big deal.
It was just a slip of the tongue.
It happens on LIVE Television from time to time.
We re such a Nanna Nation if this is made a big deal of.
Move on peeps!!!
Turn up the heat, you don't want the stove going cold the week before the big party! ;)
Cannot believe Andrew Bolt and Alan Jones haven't bought into this, they must be scared of Eddie!
Using your previous metaphor, Spotted One... now there's a couple of useless 'flowers!' ;)
Well it did make the Age but they're certainly not baying for Eddie's blood. The best part of the article is Cornes's Tweet:
