James Allen Under Pressure

[DazzlaF1]

My personal opinion, James is pathetic! needs to get the boot. Bring in... hmmm...


Jeremy Shaw!!! hey.. why not?

Aye, hes out of work now isnt he?

It is amusing how he used to be accused of pro-Schumacher bias...

He did that this very day, alleging that Coulthard mysteriously slowed down at Spa '98.

All you people do on this forum is want to fire people...Allen max RD freddie and the list goes on and on and on.....

I think there is a fair reason to kick out S&Max, don't you?

Using a previous incident to highlight a current one (that DC has now alluded to anyway), that alone is worthy of his head, shirley?

I didn't view that as any sort of undue pro-Schumacher bias, because I didn't think he could ever have been accused of it. That reference today struck me as unnecessary because there was no parallel between that incident and the Hamilton/Alonso one.

James Allen doesn't care about the or what actually happened. He's a tabloid journalist and thinks in headlines and controversies. e.g.

"I'm sure this stories going to run and run, and you can read all about on on our class leading website itv-f1.com..." (referring to the Alonso-Hamilton-brake-test-gate-controversy-fiasco...)

No doubt next week he'll write an article recapping everything that happened last year and between the two and comment on that despite it was a complete accident it adds to all long list of incidents between the two. He might even go as far to mention the great rivalries of Senna-Prost and Mansell-Piquet which went on long after they stopped being teammates.

Considering it was a race that Massa won without spinning, without Trulli holding up the field, Webber not actually being unlucky and all the British drivers being absolutely rubbish he may have to do something than cut and paste every other F1 column anyone's ever written.

For that reason he should be replaced, Tabloids and Newspaper Articles spreading rubbish are not good for F1.

Trouble is, and quite worrying also, is that a good percentage of the rubbish turns out to be true...

[Mikeall]

I meant he's like a tabloid journalist, its annoying because you know full well he could be telling you what's going on in a race but he'd rather say the same thing over and over again. Everyone knows Massa hadn't finished a race before today (one of which was an engine failure) it had been covered extensively throughout qualifying and the build up to the race.

Aye, hes out of work now isnt he?

He was here in AUstralia for the GP, working with our host broadcaster (network 10) as an expert commentator sort of role, and he did an excellent job.

During his time doing the commentary for the Champ Car international feed, he was very good at his job and I heard no one complain about him. In fact all I read was praise (although it was on the somewhat biased CCF forum). But I found his commentary to be of a very high standard. And he worked extremely well with his Co-Commentator, James Hinchcliffe.

Shaw and Hinchie for '09! :
