And given the aggressive stance they took – pay us what we want or we pull the plug – during the last round of contract negotiations with Racing/Levy Board I’m not sure C4 can rightly be held up as some sort of punters pal and there for the sport.
LOL. Let’s forget terrestrial coverage, then. I thought it would be an obvious choice, Pete. I really did.
Oh well. The BBC remind me of a hypnotic
femme fatale
, which Mr Racing shouldn’t have anything to do with, but somehow can’t resist.
In a tight red dress, stacked high heels and smoking a lipstick stained cigarette, for most of the time she’s off and running, playing around town with anything that moves, and then, on Mr Racing’s good days, when his wallet’s full and things are sweet, there she is, on his doorstep, with a glint in her eye and the siren song of love on her lips.
Just say no, Pete.

Off to watch "Crank"
June 9, 2011 at 19:10 #359807Rubbish, rubbish and rubbish. I hate the BBC coverage of racing and the Derby coverage was nothing less than rubbish too.
Rishi, stop! Whatever it is you do, just stop! What does it mean to you…? You are awful and should not be presenting on a racing programme.
I know some say the show is aimed at a dumbed down audience or a non-racing audience, but I don’t care. They don’t do this with other shows do they? Well, the dumbing down, yes but the other? They don’t aim MOTD at a non-football audience.
Persh, not a misspelling, just a more appropriate spelling. I cannot stand the guy.
Balding, aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
CH4 are better but Mike Cattermole or whatever…now he should be on the BBC. Perfect for them. Obseqious(spelling?) Thommo move aside they have found your replacement.
Rant over, time for bed.

June 10, 2011 at 07:07 #359872I recorded the Derby & just watched the immediate build up & the race its self. I just couldn’t cope with the irrelevant interviews & fashion. On Oaks day we hardly got to see any of the runners. I would like to see how football supporters would react if the BBC covered football or indeed cricket or Wimbledon in the same way.
Someone interviewing all the spectators about their winter coats, looking at them cutting up strawberries & sandwiches, describing what a football is made of, showing how a tennis racket is strung. I think there would soon be complaints.
But then what would I know? I’m a none betting woman who doesn’t have Racing UK…. expect other board users assume the BBC coverage is for people like me any way. - AuthorPosts
