TheReturn 1,724 Posted September 12, 2016 o what if they make it sound louder and more exciting. At least they know what they are talking about. If only that was true... on both accounts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arson fire 4,785 Posted September 12, 2016 There's a difference between actually commentating LOUDER and making moronic monkey noises and just shouting out the riders name like Pearson does whenever two riders get within a few feet of each other! He totally ruins it for me. what do you think he should say then?? How would you or anyone else differ?? Doesnt ruin it for me, i watch the speedway and what he says is irrelevant as i dont let it bother me one way or the other..... All commentators shout, all commentators make mistakes, all commentators get excited. They are no different. Sid waddell talked the biggest load of rubbish going in commentry but is sorely missed and well revered for example. Ive never heard the monkey noises tbf but cant imagine them going oo oo oo ah ah ah?? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ive never heard the monkey noises tbf but cant imagine them going oo oo oo ah ah ah?? I just seems to me that it it's the current trend to moan about them. I enjoy their commentary the are just enthusiastic ( maybe a little over enthusiastic at times). Yeh, they make the odd gaff, but who doesn't on live TV? If it's a good race, I'm so absorbed in it, I don't notice them anyway.. Who else would people suggest that knows anything about the sport? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Lady 5,400 Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) Now Mel and Sue have quit the Great British Bake Off, I'd suggest Nige and Kelv take over. Just imagine "how did those cherries stay on the muffins" "Whoa, whoa , whoa " as a gingerbread house tatters before collapsing. "Wow, how did he do that " All at full shouting volume...perfect for Channel 4 Edited September 13, 2016 by Star Lady 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheReturn 1,724 Posted September 15, 2016 As the dough is rising all you hear will be Pearson shouting 'It's all very tight' followed by and if it stays like this the Bakewell Tart will be the winner. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BFMDan 24 Posted September 22, 2016 I watch the YouTube Stream over here in "The States" (USA) and I thoroughly enjoy the commentary provided by NP & KT! I watch US SuperCross coverage on a weekly basis, Summer Motocross coverage when I can - and I am a Stock Car/Flattrack/MX/SX announcer at the regional level . . . so I view commentary from both sides of the fence. And for me, personally, I enjoy their commentary when I have my "fans hat" on . . . but, at the same time, when I listen to them with my "professional hat" on, I also rank them very highly! Two enthusiastic thumbs up from me! HB 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest GiveusaB Posted September 27, 2016 I think watching last weeks play off, only goes to prove how good Pearson/Tattum are together......Stead and King didnt cut it for me and they just highlighted how better the other 2 are!? I'm starting to warm towards Louis aswell......he asks some good questions in the interviews, as opposed to the downright obvious, from somebody else !?

BFMDan 24 Posted September 30, 2016 You'll have to forgive my ignorance . . . but, I don't think I've ever seen/heard Ermolenko provide commentary. I just started seriously watching the Speedway GP streams around 2013 . . . during that time (and I'll admit that I have missed a couple events), I only recall Nigel and Kelvin.
