manchesterpaul Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) Paul, it is possible to be happy to be out of something without needing therapy, you know?......... I did do my best to indicate it was very much a throwaway joke. On the plus side thanks for elaborating on your initial post. I certainly agree that the vitriol Nigel Pearson receives is out of line. Whilst i personally have mentioned in the past as to why i find his commentating style poor and indeed 'damaging to the sport' i have always made clear that both he and Kelvin Tatum have the sports best interests at heart and also get off their rear ends and do a fair amount of hard work. Ok that's balanced by the fact they get to travel the world and take in sights and cuisines that those trapped in factories and offices would relish but i certainly wouldn't be capable of doing their multi-tasking commentary job. It must be the fourth time i've suggested this but those who nitpick on their repetitive phrases should grab hold of a tape or audio recorder and commentate over a trio of meetings that are broadcast on Sky and they'd be shocked to see how many they come up with and also banal attempts at filling in the blank spaces. MInd you as myself and others have pointed out Pearson and Tatum are paid a good wage and should in turn produce a professional job which they don't. Like many others i pay a small fortune to Sky for every channel they have, and also for more non-Sky channels carried on their platform, so i expect to receive a commentary of a standard which doesn't put me on the verge of muting the sound. It would be a blow to lose him at Premier Sports but i certainly feel that Dave Goddard should be having larger companies take notice of him. He IS able to impart excitement when excitement is actually there and without the inane screaming of the terrible two.

RobMcCaffery Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Rather than get into a lengthy debate with Paul, after all this thread was about Swedish Speedway, not either or us, recent events at Belle Vue and Zielona Gora just reinforce how much I enjoyed the 2013 Swedish Speedway season. Thank you all over there for giving a lead to the rest of world speedway. I am sure there are problems but we saw a well-fought season with some memorable racing. Thank you Sweden for the delightful entertainment this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 It will be interesting if any other broadcaster fancies outbidding Premier sports for the coverage overhere.(contract ran-out this season) Certainly very enjoyable watching over the season.
