Football Commentator
Gould currently works as an "expert" for Channel 9 and Triple M radio during rugby league telecasts, including NRL, State of Origin and International football contests. He also writes for the Sydney Morning Herald. He is considered controversial within rugby league fan circles for his blunt opinions about the playing and administration of the game. Many of his repetitious commentary catchphrases are used to criticise refereeing decisions: they include "dear oh dear oh dear", "no no no no no", "that's ridiculous, that is ridiculous" and "modern day gladiators".
He won the TV Week Logie Award for "Most Popular Sporting Commentator" in 2002, 2006, 2007 and 2008. Amusingly, he also won the TV Fugly Award for "Most Biased Sporting Commentator" in those same four years .
Gould also spends some time posting on Sportal forums like League Unlimited, RLfans.com and TotalRL.com.
