I watch the updates all the time and really do appreciate the job they do, but it doesn't make them above criticism.
After all, people don't think twice about ripping the shit out of riders, promoters, officials, presenters, sky sport commentators, so why should texters escape all the flack.
Perhaps some of the texters who like to dish it out, will think twice when they get a bit back.

It's not a question of dishing it out and getting it back though is it , he was the texter and he said it like he SAW it, end of, you say you enjoy the updates, but believe you me, much more of this kind of feedback and there won't be any updates. His opinion does not make him a prat and a knob, just because it may differ from someone elses At the German GP last year, I swore blind that Scott took Bomber off and should have been excluded, and in all honesty I called him all the names under the sun, however the ref and an ardent Coventry fan didn't see anything wrong with it....you see my opinion v others ;D

If they dont like it then don't read it, simple. As far as I see it, its my phone bill and I will text how I see it, some updaters water down the texts to make them less controversial, which is one of the reasons I started to update directly from the track, but that is a lot more time intensive than just texting. There have been enough pissing contests over live updates so lets not start another one on here. if they pee you off then don't go on the site and wait for the BSPA site or clubcall to tell you the scores.

Anyway, sure there are far more deserving things to talk about in Flapperjack than the ins and outs of updates.....
Shall we move on?
And nope I don't have anyone to nominate either.

I prefer texters with a bit of bias Paulco's updating of the Slovenian GP was pure quality.

We're hoping that paulco will reprise his role as updater for the GPs again in the near future.

Got to be better than my one and only attempt!
Was so busy running from front room to cupboard under the stairs and back again plus also updating a premier meeting that things were a little haphazard to say the least!
* My computer is in the space under the stairs, so very Harry Potterish, I call it my cupboard under the stairs.

I text from Belle Vue an try my damndest not to be biased and call as I see it. But I know full well that how I see it could be completely different than the person stood next to me. I don't water down the texts when I'm updating either and that has led to a few abusive PM's from supporters who haven't appreciated the texters comments. The name of the texter is on the thread so PM them........don't shoot the messenger. Back to the matter in hand.....I won't physically name my nomination for FOTW but I urge you all to wander over to www.belle-vue-speedway.co.uk and click forums. Then click Foreign News and in that sub section click Sweden 03/08. Directly underneath my post (the first one) is my nomination and I think (or hope) you will see why that is my nomination. Fuckin Arsehole.
