I hope the powers to be can pull ch7 Skaife and his lap dog Whites commentary bias into line, i was dissapointed with their bias commentary on the weekend a few examples
T8 brings both cars in at once doubling up cars in the pit bay,no comment no replays,
Frosty/FPR air jack is re inserted and instantly dropped again loses 1 spot and cops an absolute bagging and multiple replays,
Frosty/FPR jumps JW/T8 twice in pit stops, Skaife looking for excusses for T8 instead of complementing FPR's supperior pit stops
Frosty crosses the entry blend line Skaifey jumps out of his seat "wheres the rule book" aswell as multiple replays,
Whincup takes out Bargwanna Skaifeys responce " Frosty was on the inside " even though Frostys is over a car length ahead, when JW makes contact with JB limited replays of the incident,
Lowndes plows into Ingall nothing said about his driving ability only excusses to why it happened, when it was driver error,
Davo has contact with Holdsworth with limited visability on re entering the track Skaifey gives Davo an absolute serve.
I dont know if any one else noticed these incidents, but it very frustrating watching listening to this as an FPR/V8SC supporter,
whats your thoughts.?

I notice it all the time, it makes me very sick....... They talk Jamie up all the time, and it isn't Jamie s fault I am not blaming him but Skaify and Matt White just every time he is on screen say something like "now he will sprint ahead" (Adelaide, once he passed Will Davison) Well 3 laps later Davo was past again, so they were wrong..... "Whincup never makes a mistake, he is always consistent" (Sydney T500) Well going down the escape road and hitting into the same wall as everyone else doesn't make you more consistent!, "He is streets ahead" (Hamilton 2010) May have been in NZ but back in Aus it was a disaster for him and FORD won the championship!
HOW DO YOU RESPOND MATT WHITE? Get out of V8s and get back on Today Tonight, that seems to be more important for you!

Hahahahaha. If skaife was sooooo good at HRT then why didnt they grab him as an enduro driver ????? Answer: Too much of a Big Mouth plus Uncle Tom Shafted him on the Team buy-out. As for T8 and Skaife...................who really give's a #&*@. I have to agree though that Crompton would have to be the most un-bias of the the lot, but deep down he's a FORD Boy.

Looks like a reprieve for some of you, Matt White is away this week: http://www.speedcafe.com.au/2011/04/27/royal-wedding-forces-change-in-commentary-box/

OMG!!! This is great! I thought I was the only one to have noticed the bias comments made by that washed-up, over-rated excuse for a so-called "legend" (laughs uncontrollably), that is Mark Skaife. As for Matt White....wtf!!!, who the hell is he anyway! "Go back to Today Tonight", hahaha....could'nt have put it better myself.
But seriously fellow Ford fans, we could bicker and whinge about this matter until the cows come home......its not gonna make the slightest difference to what Mark Skaife says on the air. We can only be grateful that the voice of reason, Neil Crompton, still holds the reins over the telecasts......and if we could get him alone, i'm sure he would agree with us. Stay Blue guyz :)
