A “textbook performance” from the Oxford crew Rishi exclaims.
I hereby demand, as a license payer, to know which Rowing Textbooks he has consumed.

‘Got to hand it to Andrew Cotter and his commentary team.’
Have to say I do rate him as a commentator. Does a diverse range of sports well. I’ve heard him do rugby, golf, athletics and tennis (possibly others that I forgot). Never a hint of bias when he does Scotland rugby either.
Sounds like keeping the television set switched off was a smart choice – it usually is tbf.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Rishi is a very good presenter but interviews isn’t his strong point. Leave the interviews to matt as he is the only one who says or gets something different.Many worse than rishi out there mind you.
BTW used to really like francesca but she is starting to be annoying. Too many negative remarks especially when the Irish horses win.
Rishi is handicapped by the limitations of his scriptwriter and is simply asking the wrong questions.

Rishi: “Rachael Blackmore, you’ve won the Grand National again. Mick Fitzgerald once said winning this race was better than sex. What’s your opinion?”Blackmore: “Listen Rishi, somebody should speak to any woman Mick bedded before 1996 and tell her to go for counselling because his remarks were demeaning and belittling to the entire female gender and we should all rise up and protest against the indignities constantly inflicted upon us by men of all kinds. I’d be surprised if Mick’s technique allowed for much more than a cursory appraisal of the female form before completing the deed in less than the time a horse could run 5f at Epsom but his proficiency between the sheets really needs to be established because in my experience 50% of men don’t know where everything is and the rest don’t know what to do with it, so somebody who is definitely not me should volunteer to find out what Mick’s baseline level of sexual satisfaction is before winning a National can be placed ahead of it in the pecking order, and surely he can’t have got laid since 1996 because any woman worth her salt would tell him to go and ride another f****** Grand National winner if he was feeling horny, I know I would, so now the man is bitter and twisted, and what he’s doing on ITV Racing is…”
Rishi: “Back to Ed.”
Love it Seasider
great take down of male presenters (in all sports) who love references to sex (arf arf!) and ******* golf
And why do they think think we want to know about them and their boring lives? the so called banter? Then again it would be rather fun to see them get it all wrong.
Rishi to Francesca “I had three floaters this morning!”
I still wish he had got on that jet ski, like TTC suggested. Maybe we should all write to the BBC and ask.
Dreadful decision to go down this Americanised ‘capture the moment’ route – can’t quite remember exactly when they adopted it here. So much preferable as it was – allow the rider to have his post race discussions with connections, and to weigh in. Then, in a calmer light, he comes into the presenters box and discusses the race as a replay is shown. The said rider would also by this time be in a more informed position to give news on any future plans
I’m guessing the late 90s at Cheltenham, possibly 1997, as I recall Lesley Graham on horseback interviewing AP after Make A Stand winning the Champion Hurdle.
Journalists wanting the exclusive!
It’s all about the TV people and racing comes second.This is one of those instances where TV should be second fiddle.
As mentioned above in the first instance let the jockey get their breath back and at least digest the moment.
There’s time talk to trainer and jockey after they have spoken together and TV interviewers would get far more from that after that conversation.
My feeling as always in particular that ITV racing has a live programme with 3 whole hours to fill and they need help that’s why they employ so many bods and talkers.
The grabbing hold of the winning jockey seconds after he has pulled the horse up just eats away into the 3 hours.They should just savour the moment and lay off for a bit, give themselves a chance to take a breath not like Hoiles who doesn’t inhale air during a race.
