Steveh, do you read people’s posts, especially in context of what they are replying to? My post was in direct response to your pathetic annonuncement that people were gushing towards anyone who appeared on here and claimed to be a presenter. I merely pointed out to you that you were wholly incorrect in your assessment when it came to making assumptions about my post/s.
On the contrary, telling you to grow up displays no lack of argument on my part – I could hold a rational argument against your tripe till the cows come home but frankly, I can’t be bothered. In this instance, grow up means precisely that – take a look at yourself, you are coming across as petty & ridiculous.
steve – how does somebody get more confident at something (booth-presenting for example) without more experience?

Quite. At the very least an aspiring commentator can practice up to a point by calling into a Dictaphone in front of the telly at home. I’m not sure anyone would be able to replicate the ATR booth meaningfully, though – maybe Sean Boyce, occasionally of this parish, might be kind enough to elaborate on what sort of training / practice set-up exists for booth-sitters, if any?

When I worked with Sean at Ladbrokes, he spent a lot of time watching his past performances on video to note where he could make improvements to his delivery. Of course that only works when you have a script to work from and very few without experience would be able to handle a scenario where the script went out the window so comprehensively.
I have to admit I’ve not been a huge fan of Luke’s in the past, but I think his partnership with Emily Jones works extremely well. They’re a good team and seem very natural together. See? No gushing!
And I’m happy to see Luke here on the forum, handling Steve’s rude, disrespectful posts with aplomb!
It’s good to think that those commentators/presenters that are registered here respect our opinions and are happy to take criticism where it’s due.Well if it wasnt for my comments Luke wouldnt have bothered joinign,so perhaps you were not interetsing enough for him to bother before anyway end of subject lets move on and close the subject obviously its ok for people to slag Matt Chapman and John McCririck to the hills but when I want to have a go at Luke Is causes a war.

I’m not sure goading the fellow into responding in the manner you have counts as being more "interesting", much less anything about which to crow.

It is the manner of the attack that has caused disquiet rather than the subject of that attack, Steve. There are ways and means of expressing dissatisfaction with a jockey / trainer / racing media type – I’d suggest this has not been one of the better-realised ones.

Well Im drawing an end to this debate myself if you wish to continue debating on this thread then thats for you to decide but I have said my piece and feel the matter has been debated enough, I dont agree with what a lot of you have said but thats what healthy debate is about if we all agreed it would be extremely dull.
Hopefully we can all get a new thread going on a different topic and have a healthy lively debate on there
