OK, our powers dont go beyond chatting on here, as chris rawlinson will testify to, but the last time we decided that we'd had enough of John Regis and had a full scale revolt, what do you know, the beeb got rid of him.
I really get the feeling everyone is fed up with Colin Jackson and his brady bunch type comment and grammatically all over the place sammarisations.
We need a new sidekick for Micahel Johnson. The Linford idea wont work as Linford is another alpha dog who, although he would be good, wouldnt want to play Robin to Mj's batman.
Roger Black was quite good, although annoying at times with his facial expressions and the way he strained his words, he did make quite a lot of sense (see Seville 99 reveiw of mens 800m, talking about british team selection, he really was spot on. Also, the US drug revelations in Sydney)
Sally of course, was literally, bonkers. She had some funny chat, however, couldnt articulate what was literally happening out there too great.Except for the hurdles races, although she used to literally make some random great comments.
Kelly used to be fun getting interveiwed - then she got rubbish, presumably after she got some media training.
Chris Boxer, fantastic as she was, juust isnt gonna happen due to lack of star quality.
Personally for me, I owuld love to see Cathy Freeman. There are obvious drawbacks that would stop her being hired, as she isnt british, so it would be 2 foreigners, and also, they like to at least have someone who has hurdled. However, i just think Cathy is hilarious, she just says the truth in a quirky way, and is just a really great girl.
I think Jonathan Edwards is just as spot on as Michael Johnson, but theyve got him in the commentary box anyway, although when he sits in the studio alonside Colin, he (finally gettings a Gunnellism in appropriate context :-P) literally makes Colin look like a dumb twelve year old. Or maybe its Colin who makes Jonathan sound like an Cambridge graduate.
Any thoughts?
ps - I love Sue! I think she does her role perfectly, acting in place of the general public, asking the questions that those armchair fans who dont know the sport inside out would be thinking.
