reads90 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I get the same fotage here in Aus that i used to get in the Uk . Ie same music and style, layout, and the same bloke . BUT he has not once mentioned any uk teams or any bowlers so wondering if this is how it is this year or if it is edited for Aus , ie he does a couple of edits for around the world. Have seen a few bowlers and desert warriors. Saw both parked next to each other parked by a bike the other day on there but he did not mention them once. Is this the same on your footage or not BTW i am backing the VW factory team (as one of the main teams ) manly becasue Land rover do not have a factory team and i had a passat and it was a really really nice car and would always buy a VW if i had to buy a car and not a 4wd (after having the passat) Bit of a shame they are doing sh*t now.

Mark90 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Not much coverage of Bowlers or UK teams. Have seen the odd glimpse of Bowlers, very briefly showed lead Bowler last night. The Tolefson's get a few name checks and Paul Round has been mention once or twice. Problem here with the coverage on British Eurosport is that it follows the snooker which keeps over running so you never know what time it will be on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Problem here with the coverage on British Eurosport is that it follows the snooker which keeps over running so you never know what time it will be on Tell me about it. I sat down yesterday evening to watch the Dakar programme I Sky+'d the night before only to discover that I had 45 minutes of bloody snooker. :angry: Ali, I have heard Bowlers mentioned a lot, no real coverage of them though. I guess that they do not attract the cameras. I fancy VW for the title too, mostly because they seem to be the team with the most money thrown at them.

Steve Hiatt Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Not particularly interested in the Bowlers but, as above, putting the program on sky+ has resulted in 3 nights of snooker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Some nights the programme is on twice, I now set both to record. I have not checked last night's programme but I have only won one night of sooner so far. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 It was a bit late last night, although I can't recall the time it started I think it was about 10:30 ish when it started. I'm getting fed up of watching crappy snooker waiting for it to start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomag Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Ive given up, the coverage is pants. Eurosport will show anything but the Dakar snooker, tennis, sking, biathlon to name just a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I've sky+ recorded every episode so far and not missed one! although i choose the 23:45hrs one... as SWMBO is usually recording 2 lots of tosh at 21:00! heard yesterday that the bowler support team are out. problems with the lorry IIRC.

If you have Sky+ you had to set it to record both Eurogoals and the Dakar to get the whole show The Eurosprt forum has PAGES of complaints, but I expect they'll do what they usually do.................totally ignore paying punters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missingsid Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 On one of the shows I watched the commentator mentioned the lead brit but said that there was no coverage as the TV crew was European (French) and so were not interested in the Bowlers etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
