...why does James Allen always go on and on about whether someone's using wets when its only spitting!!?? Get rid of him

bastinscully · 11 Oct 2003, 13:37 (Ref:747234)

Why wasn`t the qually live, Instead of being repeated at 13:15, Notice how good ITV`s rugby and football coverage is and how often they are trail for football on an F1 show yet not the other way round!!!! Give it back to the BBC at least they have BBC2 to show all sessions on there!!!

"Wow he's nowheresville"

.

Knowlesy · 11 Oct 2003, 14:22 (Ref:747254)

Martin Brundle seemed to think Toyota used Bridgestones as well.

Still, I can forgive Martin.

I'm still waiting for James to plummet to the lows of Monaco qualifying 1:

"The noise echoes off the buildings like ghosts in a town."

**touringlegend** · 11 Oct 2003, 15:43 (Ref:747327)

Don't worry about those things he started talking about JPM's facial hair styles today as well

(at least I think it was JPM, but I can't remember him having anything significant...)

naughtymutt · 11 Oct 2003, 15:52 (Ref:747339)

It was Alonso's facial hair.

Come back murray, all is forgiven

ralf fan · 11 Oct 2003, 16:22 (Ref:747371)

Nad the usual starT!!
JA:"1 light 2 lights 3 lights 4 lights when the 5 go out well be racing... GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO........"

Knowlesy · 11 Oct 2003, 16:23 (Ref:747372)

Once again, ralf fan treats us to a "widescreen" post.

Kelvin · 11 Oct 2003, 16:29 (Ref:747379)

I think all they all must be on a bonus as to how many times they can say 'Bridgestone' or 'Michellin'.

For commentry, for the most part anyway, they do not need to look so 'deep' into the reasons of any incident or lap time, they just commentate on whats on in front of them, on the screen!!

ralf fan · 11 Oct 2003, 16:32 (Ref:747381)

JA;" CRACKING START BY KIESA HE LEADS THE GP!!!"

MB: " NO! NO! James its Raikonnen leading , Kiesa is last!!!
Good God why do i put up with you?"

**Asp** · 11 Oct 2003, 16:36 (Ref:747384)

I sometimes think that we're really cruel to JA and that, after all, he is trying his best and we can't ask more than that.

The feeling soon passes though

ralf fan · 11 Oct 2003, 16:38 (Ref:747385)

JA: " JPM driving for the line... HES ON POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE..........
NO!"

**touringlegend** · 11 Oct 2003, 16:46 (Ref:747392)

ralf fan, Asp's right, you truly are cruel!

**garcon** · 11 Oct 2003, 16:47 (Ref:747394)

You've got to admit they're a great comedy double act though. Brundle the faintly camp straight man (if that's not an oxymoron

), Allen the loud bumbling buffoon. It worked for Morecambe and Wise!

high contrast · 11 Oct 2003, 17:18 (Ref:747413)

Walker as is Allen are there for the masses, we real enthusisats are in as ever the minority. Unfortunatly it has to be 'dumbed down' to get the ratings!

I must admit (now that I'm an old git) that I nod off! during midnight Friday screening of what I call 'pre-qualifying' It's just on to late...I missed DC,KR,JT & FA's runs damn it!

ralf fan · 11 Oct 2003, 17:22 (Ref:747416)

JA: " I love da Matta's voice!!"
it was so off the topic, yet i could not stop laughing......

I AM NOT CRUEL!!!!

NO dont get afraid... i was joking

**touringlegend** · 11 Oct 2003, 17:49 (Ref:747433)

You're just proving you're not cruel, right..

I think we should vote to keep JA..he's a legend in the making!

Armco Bender · 11 Oct 2003, 17:55 (Ref:747435)

At least you get something to watch,we don't get to see the race on TV until about 6 hours after its happened.So No Posts on the the race results for at least 6 hours after the race.

Nah its Bathurst day down here today and by the time the F1 comes around no ones going to be in any fit state to watch it anyway

If it's 'dumbed down' then why the hell do they keep talking about technical stuff so much? RTE don't do that. They keep it much more simple and are far less annoying too.

Sato san · 11 Oct 2003, 20:03 (Ref:747508)

i still cant understand why they didnt show such a cruicial qualifying session LIVE ?.........

so they really give a damm about F1..?

Knowlesy · 11 Oct 2003, 20:06 (Ref:747511)

I could just about handle qualy 1 being delayed but qualy 2 not being live was disastrous. What important programmes brushed the most crucial laps of the year off the TV listings?

Sato san · 11 Oct 2003, 20:09 (Ref:747515)

ITV SUCK......They plainly dont give a damm...

I feel that they let down the passion etc that people like Brundle have for the sport .

Knowlesy · 11 Oct 2003, 20:22 (Ref:747535)

Sato I've just read your sig and all I can say is.......you've got a wife and kid for God's sake!

But yeah, you're right, ITV stink like so many sweaty socks.
