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! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that it was a decent tv match for a change. Great to see Dan Thompson getting back to winning ways. Dave Rowe 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michanekman Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 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.

Fourentee Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 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. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourentee Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 4 minutes ago, Arthur54 said: Dave Rowe ...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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentLurker Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 (edited) 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. Edited July 7 by SPEEDY69 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen would've been kinder to point out his error. Edited July 7 by szkocjasid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
