DUFFIELD

chrisw986

Could someone tell me if Eurosport has a complaints department/email address?
I've look forward to watching the Dauphine,but Duffield is spoiling it by talking utter rubbish.He repeats the same pointless things every 10 mins,like telling new cycling fans the basics of road racing or if youve just come from walking the dog and are new to cycling or non british fans please bare with me if i get excited about bradley millar!!He seems to be totally unaware that attacks and moves are happening.
Dave Harmond is miles better and brings the best out Kelly.
My girlfriend thinks i'm mental when i sit watching cycling with the sound muted!

All 3 of EUROSPORT English Commentators (Duffield,Smith.and Harman) are great with HIGHLIGHT Programes, but maybe on this they read a script.
ON LIVE Programes they all are MOTORMOUTHS without a break. We need a Break to hear
the sound of the Tyre's instead of using the ZAP BUTTON.
I find Harman is becoming the WORST Commentator when he MOTORS the same questions
to SEAN and answers them from every angle so all SEAN can say is "YES CERTAINLY" and
then try to find something else to say but has no chance as it come's over as BORING.
A few years ago Duffield used to say "Well what's been going on then SEAN" and then
the Master could give a commentry of all the intricasies of the Race. I get fed up
with Harman's ee's (retiree,escapee,lankawee)and the Knobly tyres Brigade,who cares. The through and off is from some one who never been in the bunch and been yelled at to do your BIT. A chain gang is not the same. BIT and BIT and the other
Word that get's called out is HAMMER. So move it and not the "I say old chap but
would you come through",it's a joke Let Sean have the Mike as he is a very interesting man.

It's the curse of the commentators, they all speak too long. Mind you, when there's nowt going on but the peleton trundling through sme glorious countryside (Those shots yesterday of that walled village and castle ruins, chopper cameraman & pilot must be paid by the French Tourist Board!) then there's a point to it. Anyway, it's always good to be able to harangue the tele, with shouts of "That's Valverde at the back, OI, Duffield you muppet, haven't you looked at the monitor?"

Remember that you are an Englishman and thus have won first prize in the lottery of life.

Oh guys come on you know you love Duffers really.

You can't really want a cycle race without a half hour monologue about goats cheese.

I wonder what the bosses at Eurosport / advertisers think when Duffers tells the viewers that they mights as well "go walk the dog or do some gardening as not much will happen for the next half hour"?? hmmm. he is quite entertaining though.
I think HArmon is one of the best commentators out there in any sport. Very knowledgeable and not afraid to make comment on some things like Unibet etc.

you could always try www.cycling.tv for english commentary although picture quality is much better on the Premium Channel. A small price to pay for a cycling only channel. No more monthly fees for sky. Tempting......
