sandman Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 Oh, believe me.. I understand, it is a classic case of forgetting who foots the pay cheque. C'mon, Television? Men from the boys and all that? I just hope he watched it and learned about basic PR,whatever anyone says, it looked bad..Hey , surf is up, gotta go...... 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sir Lunchalot Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 I hope next time Jason learns his lesson and instead of standing by his van he gets in it and shuts the door behind him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevH Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 my children and I approached the motor home of Billy Hamill and Greg Hancock looking for their autographs and after waiting patiently for their turn, my children and I were asked inside where we were given a tour which finished with signed photos of both riders. I'm impressed - hat's off to both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliv Clav Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Crump has always been a bad loser, which is why I can't stand the guy either. Maybe he's related to Martin Dugard! Just to add, I've met Greg Hancock before, and I have to say he is one of the nicest friendliest people I've ever met. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublin duke Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Bad loser or just ultra-competitive? Whatever anyone thinks about the way Jason conducted himself on Saturday, the fact remains that on the track he always gives 110% and the GP series would be much the poorer without him in it. As regards SKY, to be fair it is their job to offer a watchable and engaging product which I think is right to include "warts and all" both on and off the track. You couldn't actually hear what Jason said, and even if you could is f**k off really that shocking or offensive these days? I am sure that Jason himself would agree that in an ideal world he should have behaved in a manner more befitting a role model - but in that world we'd all be perfect wouldn't we?

Wizza Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Seeing as Sky has copped a lot of abuse recently for their PL attitude, maybe we should cut them some slack here. Reason? Well, they don't actually cover the GP's themselves. This is done by Chrysalis who are employed by BSI. The Chrysalis pictures are then shipped on to all the worldwide networks willing to pay for them..... For the record, yes Jason's reaction was bad but I have to agree with the point about invasion of privacy. Not only did the cameraman go somewhere he probably shouldn't have, but he stayed there for quite some time also - just desperate for a reaction it appeared. I think all parties involved deserve a reprimand of some sort.... :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 OK Wizza, apologies to Sky for sure, didn't realise it wasn't their cameraman who did the dirty!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpo Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Actually i don't think Chrysalis do the GP coverage either this year, seem to remember reading another company is doing it this year but can't remember who off the top of my head.

Gemini Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 ... seem to remember reading another company is doing it this yearThat probably explains why we keep seeing views of an empty bit of track when the cameraman misses the action. :?

Jenn Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 Some of you are being TOTALLY unfair on Jason!!! :x He's is a really nice bloke and you are making him out to be a monster!!Ive seen a bad side to him once (hes been at BelleVue nearly 2yrs ) and that was understandable!!! He is passionate about racing and all he wants is to suceed! When he fails he gets angry with himself! :-( he DID NOT deserve following out to his van! He probably went out so's not to make any silly comment in front of the cameras....but no....they have to follow the poor guy! Imagine yourselves in that situation! The sport you love, you are tipped as being a world champion, and youve just made a HUGE mess of it, probably cost you the chance at going for the title for another year!!! Dont know bout you, but i'd be gutted, and had i been followed by TV cameras i would have reacted the same as Jason did!! I dont know what you're problem is but you need to give the guy a break! :x :x :x :x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people that slate Jason are just plain evil,so maybe they don't like him,so what,if you don't like somebody,tell somebody who cares,cos some of us don't care. Some of us like Jason,infact a lot of us!And we don't wanna hear people slagging him off! :evil: The cameras should have left Jason alone,why the hell did they think he went to his van :?: :!: :?: answer=to get some privacy! So the stupid idiot people that call themselves cameramen should just leave him be in future,cos it ain't fair Basically Sullyrox has said the rest that i wanna say! If you wanna slag Jason off any more,then Speak to the Hand cos the face ain't listening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehone Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 it's called 'Live Television' i'm afraid. if there is a punch-up at football, it's not good but the cameras will roll.

Addy Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 I'm with you , Sully and Scotty. This is this man's life's work and livelyhood. Everyone has vulnerable moments - especially when they think they may have blown it ... Some people just need space sometimes - even if they are in the public eye ...

jronayne Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 Crumpie's like Marmite though you either love him or you hate him!! Ralf Schmacher swore on the F1 the other day, i know he said sorry and all that but does that make him any better than Crumpie?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
