Hang Your Head In Shame Colin Bond
I amongst many of you, are today the most disgusted motorsport fans in the world.
I give my up most support to Neil Crompton as to what he said on air about Colin Bond and the AVESCO Officials involved in the Murphy Lowndes incident at Winton today. I cannot recall at any time ever hearing anywhere more ignorant boof-headed comments by someone meant to have earned his position. I feel sorry for our V8 Superstars being at the mercy of such a lesser mortal as Colin Bond. How someone with such a distinguished career as himself and still racing today can be so blind and so inconsistent in his decisions and still hold his job is absolutely mind-boggling! The man must have the intelligence of six year old! As he sees and incident, with-out delving into further evidence, with-out giving time to consult, reacts within a split second and starts pointing fingers at what may usually seem to look like obvious. You have to question if he is watching the same race and the same coverage, I've bagged Channel 10 before but today the were very hasty in putting up the slow mo' replay of the incident and the story was revealed before us, Lowndes stepped on the brakes in front of Murph to steady his car, Murph was so close that he had no time to react, even Lowndes later said in a round about way that it was a racing incident. I would like to send a message out to Colin Bond: Despite any of your past achievements, over the past couple of years you have been teetering on respectability and consistency, today you have simply lost all credibility. You are an ignorant moron. You should think and assess before you act, not the other way round. If I were you I would hand in my letter of resignation tonight and salvage what is left of your reputation. Hang your head in shame Colin Bond |

Colin Bond is Driving Standards ADVISOR. I hope that word is not to big for you he is and ADVISOR and as such he does NOT make the desicion on the penalties he discuss them and ulitamtly the desicion falls with the stewards and Clerk or Course. It is a joint effort. The desicion was wrong definatly but it was not ALL Bondy's. Gee I would be upset if I was told to hand my head in shame by an EXPERT like Crompton. This is the man who carried on like a big girl on tv after spinning in his own oil at Bathurst in 1993 Top Ten Shoot out only to find it was his own oil. Lastly there are No Superstars in V8's. The most ignorant boof head coments I have read have been these. Try and find out a bit more about the CAMS system before attacking one out of a probable 7 or 8 in Race Control. |

No one believes that "Bondy", most of us can read between the lines and understand what is happening.
"Driving Standards Advisor" means one thing to most of us... He is the man behind the decisions, if you believe otherwise (or are trying to make us think otherwise) then you are thicker than most of us ever gave you credit for. Last edited by Archer; 25 May 2003 at 10:10. |

CB I think the real Colin Bond should stick to driving around Tassie with a cardie on in the Camry with the old dude from the UK. He may well be one of the panel but they made the wrong decision and he made it on national TV. Its fine to roast Cromley of past tenths but atleast he had the balls to say what he said.
Long live PROCAR down with AVESCO.... |

I heard the comments and I don't agree with what Colin said. Your missing the point there are more pepole desiding the penlty etc than just Colin Bond. Deffinatly it was disapointing. No Bondy is NOT the man who makes the desicions. He advises talks it over with CLerk Of Course, Race Director and Stewards. They then radio the sector marshall at that coner and ask for his feelings on the incedent then the Clerk Of Course hands down the penalty |

it was wrong and they all should be immediately sacked , and this I would love to see, and before anyone says its harder than it looks , what a load of rubbish , they are hopeless at their jobs and should be taken out the back and flogged.
yes they are being consistant , consistantly wrong that is. I lost respect for Bondy today whether he was behind the decision or not , IF he is just an advisor then he should have advised them that murph had no chance at all. stupid old fart should quit before a driver belts him around the head abit. |

This was a shocking decision. But you have to look at the positives that came out of it. Atleast it has given everyone something to talk about, as todays race was extremely poor.

Whether or not he makes the decision or not, he said, on national tv, that he thought it was the right decision, and that comment alone makes him as much, if not more guilty than anyone else, without any doubt.
Do not try to defend the undefendable as will lower peoples opinion of you as well. |

First of all the rules of this forum are available for all to read. http://tentenths.com/forum/misc.php?...ge=1#behaviour take special note of paragraph 2.
I'll stick my neck out and back the decision. It's funny how the same people are involved in controversial decisions round after round. It does not matter what the car in front did, you are not allowed to make contact. Is Ingall that much better than Murphy? He managed to avoid a similar incident with Paul Weel. I think Crompton is a goose. He gives the impression that he knows what he is talking about but most of the time he gets it wrong or gets lost in the media hype and turns into a Mike Raymond clone. |

Did wheel hit the anchors hard mid corner, no he didn't. He got a bit sideways and gathered it up. Maybe Crompton needs to buy a colou tv for some other people as well. Maybe the question should have been, is Wheel that much better than Lowndes?" Last edited by Dazz; 25 May 2003 at 11:05. |

Its his own fault, calls like that pearler by him today make people dislike him. Poor murph gets it in the backside by officials time and time again, its about time somebody with some credibility made a point of it. Onya murph, lowndes and cromley. Oh and Bomn, remind me how many seasons you have done in V8 Supercar? I would say Crompton is more qualified to whinge about it than you are.

Yeah funny how even Lowndes said he didn't necessarily agree with the decision, and after all he would know better than anyone what happened, except Mr Bond and Co it would seem.

Maybe Crompton needs to buy a colou tv for some other people as well. The only thing Crompton needs to buy is a mirror to take to bed so he can wake up to himself. Maybe the question should have been, is Wheel that much better than Lowndes?" You have got to be kidding haven't you????????? Last edited by Bomn; 25 May 2003 at 11:18. |

Whats wrong with the big Mike Raymond
Makes you wonder, when Robby Crawford went to FPR, to talk to them,why Mr Lowdnes oponion wasnt relayed to the people in charge. That may have stopped them from making the huge decision that was made. Smurph does get some bad luck, poor guy. Ambrose move on "Maxy" I thought was a bit more dubious |

Well, Weel finished 5th and Lowndes finished 10th, you tell me.
If you can look at the footage, and tell me that Weel wiped off as much speed as Lowndes did in one single brake application then we are looking at differend incidents my friend. |

Lowndes opinion would have been relayed, for sure.
I'm guessing they thought that just because Lowndes didn't mind, it was still a punt. Even though they were stupidly wrong. |

If he was in more trouble how come he wasn't on the outside edge of the track like Lowndes was? If he was in more trouble why did he not have to brake very hard?
If you look at where Lowndes was just before he backed into Murphy, he was on the outside edge of the track, brakes on and with about 30 degrees of opposite lock, and heading straight off the track. Weel wasn't. Have a good long hard look at the replay and tell me in all honesty that Lowndes would not have gone off anyway without the tap. |
