jakehumphreyf1 So here's the rub...due to the election shenanigans we're now live at 12.45pm tomorrow so don't be alarmed if tuning in at 12.15!

jakehumphreyf1 Just nailed 30 minutes of red button fun...12.15 to 12.45!! You lot better not let us down...
Whether it was because of the lull in action in the middle of the race, but I started to notice every moment of Legards commentary.
He seemed really boring today, he talked uninterestingly about the race and laboured to finish points he was making about historic events and rules. :( :confused:
I would actually be happy if the beeb said we are employing James Allen from the next race. :eek:
We had 5 Live on and it was as good as ever, but when they took a breather to give some football scores we switched back to Legard and immediately regretted it. He sounded asleep and bored. It's beyond a joke now, he needs a rocket up his backside or a P45.
A P45, unless the former is part of the Beebs race build up for the next round :laugh:Quote:

I dunno, I'm quite warming to him now.Quote:

Interesting comment made by DC in the last race, as he was not at the race but watching on TV, he said that he was surprised by how much more he could pick up on that was missed by the commentary team.
This is not a moan at the commentators, gawd knows they have enough screens to look at plus directors shouting in their ears etc.
But you can understand how they appear to be less that brilliant at times.
The beebs coverage is still top notch with only one exception - Eddie Jordan. The guy is a fool.
He starts of on one of his rambling rants usually failing to make any points at all, sometimes contradicting the points he made just seconds before. If the bbc really want someone to fill the "speaks his mind and irritates DC role" get Swervin' Irvine in.
