Not like these two and certainly not on the BBC

A major improvement in the commentary. I like this innovation

On the Pairs footage I just noticed Jack said the first GP was in Christchurch

'The first time there has been an advantage since the first heat' apart from the other 4 times a team was ahead You could not make this up

I turned the sound back up as I am addicted to them and these two idiots butcher Peter Protasiewicz's name continually for 5 minutes and I don't think in about 20 attempts they get it right once. This would not be tolerated in a major sport so why do we have to put up with it. It's not hard to find out these guys names. I remember last year the Premier lad mispronounced one of the Polish lads name and someone here corrected him and he apologised and did not get it wrong again all season. Jack just said 'he fends off the man in red'. His own team mate

Millala and Millile I have turned down the sound as these idiots are annoying me

It's great coverage by Eurosport that is nice to see but they need someone to commentate. This pair are clowns. Jack does know his motorsport but he is out of his depth here and Sam has already began to let his mouth be half a sentence ahead of his brain.

yes I groaned when I saw the graphic as I thought oh bollocks He has looked good in Poland too. Fair play to him. Loktaev too looking good this season. The Russians could well dance the WTC this year iff they don't implode again. "a brilliant second" Jack gets the award for daftest comment of the 2014 season.

LMAO yes it certainly is something when Sam is the one who sounds sensible

Good God chill out we have not even had heat one yet.

Please God No! Kylmakorpi is a Swede now?

Had an internet failure on Sunday just after the Division 1 match which lasted till this morning so caught up today via youtube Enjoyed both matches but the stars of the day were the reserves in the Zielona Gora v Torun match. Looks like the Loony has a very good point about Torun as Gollob is struggling and Emil and Darcy look shadows of themselves. Glad Greg Laguta is back as he is one of the best in the world and if he was in the SGP would manage to ruffle a few feathers even if he had missed 2 meetings Be interesting to see how Russia do in the Pairs this weekend.

Stop acting like babies. It's a discussion forum and debates get heated sometimes. calling someone an idiot or a pillock is just banter. Issuing death treats is beyond the Pale of course but a bit of mild abuse is nothing worth starting a thread over. Look at the names poor old Liam Gallagher gets called and he does not whine as much as some here do. If this was a kids forum fair enough but I thought it was mostly adults here. Good God I have seen more backbone in a jellyfish than in some here. Stop whining like a bunch of babies who have lost their dummies and start acting like adults

Well we are only human mate I think you two guys are both great and this International forum is so fortunate to have two people (not forgetting the others who do exactly the same for other parts of the International section) who go to so much trouble for the rest of us. But you are both acting like children and perhaps it might be worth realising that and just cyber shake hands and start acting like adults as it's gonna be a long season and you two will probably have killed each other by August if you continue like this I enjoy the International section but we don't want to see it become like the crazy zone EL/PL sections now do we?

Cheers Alan and R&R that's why I enjoy the international section here I will check the forum out regularly whilst I am in the states. My hotels all have the internet of course but I have 3 days on trains which won't and obviously I will be looking around a lot Washington DC is 5 or 6 hours behind so I might find a nice WiFi spot and watch the GP whilst enjoying a lunch in the sun.

Damn I am on my way to Seattle on the 8th so will miss out on that. Will have to see if I can catch a repeat of the Danish one and same goes for the Best pairs. Might catch the Polish matches on Youtube. The rest will depend where I am and if I have the Internet. Hope to see a couple of those at least. I will just have to keep checking in here and see what is available. Hopefully get the SGP as I am in Washington DC that day and should be able to see the free SGP broadcast that Alan said was so good.

Excellent speedway meeting. The PL has not disappointed once again. Newcastle a little unlucky but that's speedway

Great stuff there. One of a dying breed even back in those days. None like him nowadays. The White Knight here will remember him well as he rode for Sunderland. Saw him with a few of his teams and he loved to be the Pantomime Villain. He was the Dick Dastardly of the sport but 100% trier who gave no quarter and never moaned if he got a bit of what he gave out unlike Nicki P who if it was an Olympic event could whine for Denmark I remember hearing about his death and it was a talking point among fans all across the country. I have a lot of respect for the man we all loved to hate and the sport wasn't the same without the bloke. And I think that is the highest compliment a sportsman can ever have

New Zealand rider Jack Millen rode for a lot of teams in the 70s. Jack was as tough as nails on the track and would have eaten Nicki Pedersen as a light snack. His legendary antics earned him the moniker Mad Jack Millen, Millen The Villain, or Crazy Jack. Had the privilege of being able to boo him on many occasions as he set about the opposition. But remember he never refused a kid an autograph. Sadly died in 1978 in a car accident on the way to the track whilst riding for Berwick.

Saw Gary ride many times for Boston he was a great rider. Didn't something happen like that to Mark Courtney, another great rider to watch, where he was given board and lodgings on us. And surely Jack Millen was the craziest psychopath ever to ride a speedway bike if he was never in jail it was probably the authorities were far too frightened of him. Funny thing was off the bike he was a really nice bloke.

Perhaps there was a Rolling Stones gig in the area

But it seems the other guys don't get the same amount of slack here. Kel and Nige getting stick last night because they did not reveal the real reason the crowd was non existent. I liked both commentary teams and they both did an excellent job. Andy is the newcomer of course but he is getting better as he goes along. Kel and Scott have a huge amount of speedway knowledge and are both interesting to listen to. Same goes for Nigel Pearson as he too has a lot of speedway knowledge and enthusiasm from the point of view of being a long time fan same as many of us. People saying how Scott and Andy were great because they did not shout and scream conveniently overlooking that Scott and Andy are not commentating on the racing so it would be rather strange if they were shouting and screaming when just chatting about the event during the breaks. Nige and Kel do a great job and get excited the same way speedway fans do. They do the same as Andy and Scott before the racing starts then go into shouty mode when the race is on which during good races adds to the excitement. I feel sorry for all 4 of the lads regarding the spat between One Sport and BSI. What are they supposed to do as the people having the arguments indirectly 'pay' them. It's not up to them to highlight the arguments between these two factions. Like the fans they are stuck in the middle but unlike the fans they can't rant and rave on a forum. Who is to blame depends on who you dislike the most and agendas are thick and fast here but those guys don't deserve flak as how many here would publicly slag of those who directly or indirectly pay their wages. Lot of big talkers here but I would imagine that figure is slightly west of zero. Great GP all the same and congrats to a worthy winner and some great competitors for providing some fantastic entertainment. Pity about the Brits but at least one of them will improve

What a final great meeting enjoyed it

I don't think there is any 'might' about it. Sad as it's a good meeting
