The Worlds WORST Commentary

Amaroo Park · 17 Mar 2002, 09:30 (Ref:237200)

I amy be alone on this thought but I don't think so. The new commentary on 10 is absoulty bloody awful. Matt White should go back to do Sports Tonight and finish his Tim Webster Apprenticship. What are you thoughts

Bomn · 17 Mar 2002, 10:15 (Ref:237295)

Remember when Tim Webster said how stupid car racing is?
This must be channel seriously's policy, to make car racing look stupid by hiring the biggest dills that they can find.

tim webster would have been sniffing the horse s**t..he's just a figjam person.a pretty boy

philneast · 18 Mar 2002, 01:02 (Ref:237973)

Perhaps we could run a tipping contest on the number of times Matthew White says "Hell" during a race meeting.

marcus · 18 Mar 2002, 02:01 (Ref:238008)

dunno , after ten minutes or so I stopped listening to the commentary , i didnt turn it down just tuned out.

but someone has to do it

There was talk of Diffey going overseas again. Has he? We need him back! The rest of them have no idea.

Bomn · 18 Mar 2002, 03:12 (Ref:238039)

Diffey did the CART race call the other night. The only thing he should call is Bingo.

Amaroo Park · 18 Mar 2002, 07:22 (Ref:238135)

Diffey is hopless as the rest of them on ten. It seems that White has taken lessons from Diffey on how to yell at the auidence.

f1manoz · 18 Mar 2002, 08:04 (Ref:238148)

I certainly don't like any of them. Most have little idea of what is actually happening on the track. At least when Crompo was in the box there was some knowledge up there about the sport.

Matthew White was bloody annoying. He is not commentary material.

Compared to all of them, Diffey sounds sensational, though he can get too excited and screw up, but that's just like the best of them.

And people complained about Eastlake at the OzGP?!?!?

Tomgreen · 18 Mar 2002, 09:32 (Ref:238181)

Anyone is better than that Skaife arse kisser Mark Oastler.

I think they confuse noise with knowledge. It is not helped by being aimed at the lowest common denominator. The problem for us is, this does not include us. As evidenced by spending time on a motorsport forum.

The constant babble about the heat and the fastest corner in Australian motorsport was as boring as the frequently rotating same 5 advertisements that were shown during the commercial breaks.

The best commentator of the weekend was Crompton, and he wasn't even meant to be there.

Splatz the Cow · 18 Mar 2002, 21:15 (Ref:238736)

I was at the track in G.Admission and found the race boring (on Sunday) so I went to the in field areas and the Army display was the best thing there (besides nations Cup of course)

The Lambo was put in the truck IMMEDIATELY baring any photo ops - bugger. Missed the Bowe Ferrari too.

But got to hold all manor of heavy and light Squad support weapons, rocket launchers, try night vision in a dark tent with targets and stuff. Wicked.

The V8 race was absolute horse-sheite boring!

F3's were Mega though.

We should dump this V8 farce and bring back the Le Mans cars, release the Vipers without their restrictors, reveal their 853Nm at 3500rpm and 650+hp at 6700, and show these stripped out taxi's, what real lap time are.

A Ford or Holden will never do 225mph no matter how much our perochial-ness may want it to.

The Mickey-mouse short track is for losers too, give us a decent track. It's all that bloody Cochrane's fault

Danielsun · 19 Mar 2002, 04:30 (Ref:238982)

This'll get a laugh, but how about the old Seven team? Mike Raymond, Mark Oastler, Richard Hay, Garry Wilkinson... No, not bloody Moffatt...

sevi · 19 Mar 2002, 04:46 (Ref:238990)

I didn't hear channel 10's commentary, but Barry Oliver's was the worst I have heard for a long time.
All the info in front of him and he still can not get it right or on time.

Ah... The ALMS... Oh how I wish I was in the US of A for that. Then again, I've been kept awake by the sounds of engines reverberating around the countryside of the French track.

And what was that about Mickey Mouse short tracks? How's 13+ kays suit you? But on the Adelaide situation, I think you have a certain issue called 'politics' to blame for the 'Race of a Thousand Years' being scrapped after year one. Oh, and bring back the old, full-length GP track...

StuiE · 19 Mar 2002, 12:30 (Ref:239227)

the ten commentators have always been shockin

Danielsun · 19 Mar 2002, 13:05 (Ref:239261)

I always thought Diffs was over the top, but then he took off on two wheels and we got Rust. I wish he would...

Alan Jones · 20 Mar 2002, 08:35 (Ref:239936)

I must admit I find the hardest thing about their performance would have to be the way they constantly tell us how good this series is etc etc .I wonder if this is part of the deal with AVESCO?

Airhead · 20 Mar 2002, 09:42 (Ref:239959)

The son of Dan has returned from the other side. What tall tales and true do you bring?

Not bloody Moffat indeed.

You might hear something from someone who actually knows what they are talking about.

Hi There

StuiE · 20 Mar 2002, 10:05 (Ref:239968)

hmmmmm since Charlie Cox isnt comentating BTCC ne more why dont thay bring him over, with Johnny Watson, that would be nice, cos I think they r the best comentators in the world

bradstar · 20 Mar 2002, 10:39 (Ref:239979)

Ive actually heard mute monkeys come up with better comments than that idiot matthew white. Fair dinkum he should stay at sports tonight presenting play of the days and whats the go with talking to peter daicos in his lounge room about some cr*p called football I thought Iwas watching car racing I was that upset with thier performance that I felt compelled to email them but I havent had a reply yet mind you Im not expecting one

Bomn · 20 Mar 2002, 10:50 (Ref:239983)

My Email to channel seriously starts with:

I would like to congratulate you on your coverage of the V8 supercars.

But unfortunately I can’t....
