screm Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Another embarrassing performance by the Eurosport voice-over presenter after the break - like listening to a 6th form project. Ridiculously over-enthusiastic and clearly understood very little of what he'd seen. We heard eye-versen in the intro too. Nothing's been learned - quite embarrassing and in total contrast to the main BSI product. Agree,on the whole the EuroSport coverage is excellent,but you do get the feeling the after break presenter has been out for a Chicken Chow Mein,and is keen to get back to it.

Ghostwalker Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) The same place most riders go in those circumstances. The same place Woffinden went when Hancock shut the door. The same place Kasprzak went when Pedersen shut the door. You roll the throttle off. He went for a gap that wasn't ever going to be there, his own fault. I disagree, Not Emil's fault that Zagar decided that he wanted to be a kamikaze rider. Edited June 29, 2013 by Ghostwalker 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Woffinden got a chance to stake a firm claim for the semi-finals in this next race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Now you're living in the realms of Fantasy Yes your right,our beloved Christine wouldve probably excluded Pedersen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandorum Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) Tough decision on Matty and I am an Emil fan. But he did basically fence the lad but then Emil should not have been there. Emil had a bit twin of luck. A ) still being in one piece and B ) getting the nod from the ref. The Eurosport commentator is a babbling idiot that makes Sudden Sam seem articulate. 'Welcome back to Moldow' And nice of Nige's brother Kelvin to take over the commentary for him Racing OK so far.

Zagar leads coming off turn two,and moves wide,I cant understand what Zagar did wrong.Sayfutdinov shouldve seen then move and reacted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMcCaffery Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Hey! how's about the speedway racing? Any thoughts on that? Don't know about you i tuned in to watch speedway, not to listen to the commentators - who incidentally i do dislike - but we've seen some great GP speedway this year despite the injuries to main contenders. 2014 can only get better still and that's an awesome thought and prospect. I comment on what I choose to comment, you post on what you choose to. At least I'm qualified to make my comments. I'll leave bitching about referees to those suited to it. I' enjoying the racing, as ever thrilling at Emil Sayfutdinov's natural racing ability and also commenting on something I know about. Given your ability to argue the hind leg off a donkey over such vital matters as scorecards I think it's very ironic you choose to have a go at MY contributions. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok glad to hear your main priority is the speedway. As for racecards i publish them and totally instantly forget about them until i see silly comments made in totally non-connected topics etc. I never prattle on but have a strong sense of challenging injustices in all walks of life and simply reply/correct any point made and..................OK OK enough pleassse let's just discuss the meeting.

Free, innovative scorecards if you don't mind. Ps, they are good, I use them all the time and appreciate them very much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) Zagar leads coming off turn two,and moves wide,I cant understand what Zagar did wrong.Sayfutdinov shouldve seen then move and reacted. Zagar was slightly ahead yes but not enough ahead to be allowed to turn right and fence the rider on the outside. You just can turn tight when there is a rider on the outside. Zagar had the whole track to ride on but still decided to move out and block Emil. Emil kept his line while Zagar diidn't. Thus Zagar's move caused the stoppage.

nw42 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Great to see Ward back, it's been a decent GP season so far anyway but he does give it that extra edge when he's in the mood, all over Holder there, fearless ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manchesterpaul Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) We're often quick to point out a lack of even gate consistency so credit to the track preparation points and gate wins after 12 heats 1. 16 pts & 2 wins. 2. 18 pts & 3 wins. 3. 18 pts & 4 wins. 4. 20 pts & 3 wins. By the way rmc I instantly was able to see that from using the MiniMax Dual Grid (and the standard and the basic ones) racecard lol lol...sorry just teasing (true though lol) Please God let rmc have a sense of humour.

Is anybody interested because I'm certainly not? Not touchy, just finding myself with a very low tolerance threshold for idiots as I get older, especially those that don't know when to shut up. Anyway, here's a speedway-related comment. Goodbye, Tomasz and thanks for the memories. Emil, Tai, looking forward to the memories you will be giving me in the future. (Paul, in my time I commentated on 200-300 meetings, about half of which were transmitted on a station now part of Eurosport. It's a professional interest - what's your excuse? As for scorecards, I wouldn't know - I just knock mine up on Excel in a few minutes) Edited June 29, 2013 by rmc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandorum Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) I have seen only 3 GPs this season and Emil has won them all. Wonder if I will keep this up tonight? Darcy looks good as does Holder. Fingers crossed for Emil in this quite fascinating GP in the Danish city of Moldow. Wherever that is! Is the Eurosport bloke on Acid? Greg Honcock I am getting to warm to this bloke Edited June 29, 2013 by pandorum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Matthews Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 OMG will somebody pull the plug on the post break commentator - I think he has been studying the book of "random facts" - I guess its difficult to know where anything is when your commentating from the comfort of your own shed in the uk! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
