Tatum needs sacking!!....he's come out with utter CRAP all night right from heat one. BUT to say THREE times that Ipswich only needed one point from the last race to win, then the scores were 40-44 means he must have been either drunk, or it was an inside joke/bet between the team that he couldn't say the most ridiculous things ever heard on a speedway commentary before! Either way, he should be thoroughly embarrassed by his words as should Allen who never once corrected him! Utterly pathetic.

He even said Emil only needed to finish third!

Just a shocking performance from start to finish, he really does need putting out to pasture now, there must be a more professional alternative.  He just rants on talking absolute sh1te every meeting.

Other than that it was a decent tv match for a change.  Great to see Dan Thompson getting back to winning ways.

I can't believe Allen - who comes across as a pretty intelligent, clued-up guy, didn't put Tatum right. He didn't have to do it on air ... he could have passed him a note.

As for Abi constantly laughing about the hash tag - it's not the slightest bit funny. Nor professional.

I'm genuinely sorry to say this, but Tatum has been an absolute embarrassment this evening. Anyone can make an error, but for someone with his experience in the sport to announce repeatedly that 45 points wins the meeting is, frankly, bordering on the unprofessional.

...is, IMHO, the right answer as, indeed, would be Dave Goddard. Then Tatum could revert to his former analyst role, in which surely he would be more comfortable anyway.

Tatum must be pissed - 1 point needed he’s been around speedway long enough - gone in the morning totally embarrassing 

To be honest I reckon he said it at least four maybe five times. As a ‘professional’ he shouldn’t make that mistake, but the TNT team overseeing this should have picked up on it the first time instead of letting Kelvin repeatedly embarrass himself. Says a lot for TNT’s coverage of the sport.

If you want an idea just how detrimental Tatum is to our sport growing look no further than tonight. For what it is worth tonight was great speedway with a bit of everything in there and it was ruined by him spouting horse dung.

A protest outside the discovery HQ is required. Tatum OUT Dave Rowe IN.

Well, contrary to all the constant moaners, I like Kelvin's commentary. He's enjoyable to listen to and him and Chris Louis do a good job. I don't t want to listen to some dull statto type.

So why’s Foord not allowed to ride? He’s English isn’t he so doesn’t need a visa 🙃

No idea Mate was he just replaced by the club as they thought a better option had become available? It seems the BSPL make it up as they go along.

Think because Vinnie was already scheduled to do a NDL meeting at Birmingham

I get Ollie Allen being professional and not calling Kelv out, but come on man.... 

But if Kelvin gets corrected then first time he gets it wrong, he won't keep looking a fool, by saying the wrong thing again & again.

Allen would've been kinder to point out his error.

Really daft ride by Doyle when Ipswich only needed a 2-4. Thankfully for the Witches it didn't cost them.

Doyle is an out and out racer which is admirable but I agree there are times when you need to ride a bit more sensibly!
