He's doing his job, and if the cameras want to film him, oh well... He could do it a little more subtlety. How did speedway meetings manage before some clown in a headset?

First thing that comes up is Live and Upcoming events and there's nothing there. Under this is Cycling and under that is recently ended with GP Qualifying??? It's crap. At the top it should say all sport, then go to speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Morris rushing about shouting instructions through a headset is nothing to do with modernising the sport - it’s 100% down to feeding his ego.

There's nothing like that if you subscribe through Prime for Discovery plus Sport. Actually found it in the TV Guide. I clicked on it and it said I don't have "HIDDEN" channels. Anyway thanks for trying to help. It let's me watch it on my PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has already done the ego thing with the quiz shows he has won and the success of his business ventures. Does not need speedway to boost it, it does not pay enough 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he does a good job. He has a voice of authority and others jump when he issues an instruction or info …… ie 2 minute warning, riders move when they here that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
