Charlie "Spot" Cox

  1. What an unmitigated tosser that man is, the latest Cox ism is spot, as in 2 spot 5 seconds:mad: What is it with that man that he can make such a mess of the English language and infuriate at the same time. What the hell is wrong with 2 point 5 seconds.

    Cox is the only reason that I don't watch the coverage on BBC. There's so much negative comment about him, God knows why they keep him. He's an arse. He knows nothing. He's annoying. Sack him.

  11. Do you mean Jack Burnicle? He's been around the paddock for years, highly knowledgeable. Im sure his dad was a racer as well. There have been plenty of anti Cox threads in the past and there will continue to be anti Cox threads in the future. Personally I like both the BBC team and the official Dorna team of Nick Harris and Gavin Emmett (you hear them on the iplayer for Moto3 and Moto2). Witham and Burnicle seem to be having fun, so their commentary is fairly engaging. I still don't like the Eurosport chaps and I dont care how much they know, they just grate on me.
    Back to topic thou. Yes Cox can be a tit, but I dont have a problem with him or Parrish for that matter.

  12. Burnicle is knowledgable but he can be a bumbling buffoon too which adds the fun element too.
     
  13. What are your thoughts on Tony Carter?
     
  14. The 'host' of BSB on Eurosport? He's okay, IMO nothing special thou. There are better presenters out there and I personally think James Haydon holds a mike better than he does. I certainly dont hate the bloke, so good luck to him
     
  15. Jamie Witham aka Booompay in Ramsaaaay will be back soon at the TT :biggrin:
     
  16. Tony carter is terrible why can't he keep his big daft head still
     
  17. or his continual marking out words with his pen...and tbh Whitham too much over the long commentary stints

    Hayden is pretty good to, and Hodgson adds some great insight into riding at the top and what the riders do and think

    Am on the side of Capt Barnicle being bumbling, bit too much for me tbh. But...how hard must it be to ty and find someting to say hour after hour on the full day stints?! Mind you, can think of a few members who'd make easy meat of waffling for hours...
     
  18. Mmmmmm, wafles :biggrin:
     
  19. think ill have some waffles with beans on
     
  20. The man is hopeless as a commentator and the BBC really need to make changes to their team. Get Jamie Whitam on there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is why.....................

    He's just a cool Dude, loves his bikes, loves his racing, knows his stuff and is down to earth. Go on BBC, you televise a sport you know nothing about, you broadcast it to people you know nothing about. At least give us a presenter who knows his stuff.
