feral 36 Report post Posted April 28, 2017 1 hour ago, WhoKnows said: Go and have a listen to race 8 at Addington today and tell me it's not time Trevor was gone for good, I was listening to it in the car and I think he mentioned a total of about 3 dogs during the whole commentary, his eyes were just on one dog which was all he was concerned about......have a listen (no pictures) and you will hear what I mean.....it was beyond bad. Think he might have resigned if it had got beat !!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freightman 46 Report post Posted April 28, 2017 Was a shocker, they were past the sprint boxs before her mentioned another dog apart from favourite, only called 3 dogs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonmccook1 2,359 Report post Posted April 28, 2017 Race 8 was like he was calling a qualifying trial very average !!!!then go to race 13 and calls Cawbourne Sandy Cawbourne Palmer not a good look at all. And before anyone attacks me no I could not do better as I would not even get through 2 dogs but I also don't want to be a caller and also not getting paid to do so which Trev is!!!!

jimmyintheruck 16 Report post Posted April 29, 2017 Old Gummy Trev ( 67 ) called Sader Nation ( Friday R8 ) most of the race and afterwards - luckily I had pictures otherwise would not have known what was what. He's passed it. Time to move on - Andy or Darryl or Jason Teaz are all good for me. Much better than Wilkes, Early or Rozo. alltheway!!!, Track Record and jasonmccook1 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason or Andy would be the logical ones as too far for Darryl to come wouldn't it be? In my job I get monthly reviews from my bosses and have KPI's I have to achieve to keep my job surely if Trev has assessments he would fail them time after time. Maybe time for him to step aside before he gets pushed!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonmccook1 2,359 Report post Posted May 12, 2017 Problem with dog callers is we have 3 over 50 years old and their days are numbered. I heard Peter Earley the other day and one race he called a dog getting over the top on the post when it had been in the lead from before the home corner. Need to be able to portray the race better. only reason I know was listen to the race of radio live then watched it on mysky that night. alltheway!!! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each person has their own opinion which is what this forum is all about but hard to say someone with only 6 months of calling vs 40 years is boring. One will improve as time goes on and one is getting worse IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no skill in calling numbers only and I wouldn't bet in English Greys. Yes that is the good thing Andy has time on his side to perfect the art of calling.
