BbC - a disgrace !

If news and fact shock you i suggest you don't watch the news.

No wonder you don't post on this forum very often.Do you actually like horse racing ?. We know these accidents occur.
It isn't necessary to show gratuitous camera shots .

It's obvious that the reporter had an agenda.
He would have been disappointed if a horse hadn't died!

Yep.biased reporting

I said it at the time the BBC divested itself of what was left of it's racing. It's run by lefties, nutters and activists who would have the perfect excuse to get stuck into the sport.

He would have been disappointed if a horse hadn't died!
You now that do you? Fool

Totally agree with Facts , they had no need to show the horse fall ,and to point out which horse to watch before it fell was out of order .

He knows how to spell..

Another crawling out of the woodwork !

That's my opinion sunshine.

Sorry if you don't like it - as you say - this is a forum.

Tell you what i will agree with you.

Make you feel righteous and justified.

Idiot.

You couldn't make it up.


Crawl back in the cupboard guys.

BBC have had far more of an Agenda about Racing since it lost coverage. I wonder if replays of horse deaths with comments will be shown at Hickstead, Burleigh or any showjumpng events they cover will be covered on the National news...

Exactly.

Typical lefty Liberals have to invade a horse racing forum..

I bet tiny p enis isn't even Black although I bet he wishes that he was.....

I simply pointed out that someone posting that the reporter would have been disappointed if a horse hadn't died
today was pretty disgusting, and it is.

You're right of course that someone with a life who doesn't post regularly on here must know very little about
racing. Well said.

Zilzal

Excellent post

Please don't tar all us low number posters with the stupid brush

I've been a racing lover for 35+ years but I only post when I have time off, mainly Cheltenham, Aintree etc, but on here reading posts quite regularly.

BBC have a quest to get racing banned now, they will be hoping the National has fatalities this year, and they may get their wish as the Grand National "hurdle" race might not get so lucky this year.

I concur

wiv Facts

I'm hurt now Mange!

Arazi.................. I agree totaly wiv yer.......

it felt like the BBC News programme was waiting for a horse injury issue

the result of the champion hurdle was immaterial

The Grand Nat has become a strange race...............Im a form student that has owned horses but dont claim to know about the horse as such i/e ask the trainer or the jockey BUT wot I do know is if a horse can take the pi$$ out of a fence it prob will.........U dont see damaged fences in the Nat "dolled off"..............they just walk through em

Do not pay for a licence EVER (so I have been told)...

If someone is mug enough to open the front door and invite them in (contrary to popular belief the only person who is allowed to enter your home without a warrant is the Customs man) and you have been sent  a letter saying that you will have to attend Court..

Simply reply by stating that you will not pay for the licence because..

You do not agree with their left wing views..
You are disgusted with the salaries paid to the alleged "talent" and in particular to the inflated management...

100% guaranteed to work every time...

and wot a fcking "gravy train" it is.............

Facts on the warpath again.

Last week PaddyP, this week BBC.

It is prejudice dressed up as sentiment, pure Guardian reader stuff.

I really fear for the National, they are definitely speeding it up with the alterations and they really just got lucky last year. It also works against good old fashioned jumping horses - Teaforthree should/would have won last year over the old fences. Not my quote, but I agreed when someone said Red Rum might never have had a look in over these new "fences".

I'm of very strong opinion that instead of bringing Big Bucks back to try and win his 5th World Hurdle, I would have aimed the great horse at the National. I think he'd p1ss all over it now!!

test card

Spot on mange.

The new fences are a joke. The risk is the horses will race too fast  through these 'big spruce topped hurdles' increasing the risk of fallers/deaths. The Grand  National as once was ,has gone.

horse racing is viewed by the bbc as a white working class pastime. it ticks every box they despise.

Well said Facts.

That article on the 6pm news was an absolute disgrace

No journalistic balance, just a pointed attack on horse racing.

To be honest, there is no need for day one of Cheltenham to even feature on the 6pm news

It wouldnt have been on the News otherwise rivets. The BBC probably responds to feeds from the Animal Liberation people or RSPCA campaigners rather than think for itself.

That's right treetops.
If no horse had been injured/died today,they would have saved the piece until one had.
The proof of this is the interview of (I forget his name)the jockey who had been off since last year's Cheltenham with injury.
That interview was clearly pre-recorded.

the whole piece was ready to go

Do not pay that rancid organisation anything..

You have your proof...

BBC five live majored on a story about jockeys breaking bones this morning. It is always negative stories since they lost the contracts. Boxing is OK now that they cover it despite the fact that people are badly injured every year.

sportinglife.com..

Praise for vets as Our Conor dies..

I am not knocking them but where will it end..

BBC are very hypocritical, considering their past links with racing

have they forgotten the great Peter O'Sullevan

but they do have weird agendas now, BBC 1 appears to be run solely by feminists

with a few exceptions, they have lost their reputation for both quality and impartiality


r.i.p Our Connor

Facts     11 Mar 14 18:31 
On the 6pm news. Showied rerun  highlight of CH and focused on the fall of Our Conor..
Totally unnecessary .

Correct

Ebulgary is talking sense The BBC is full of feminists and motor racing and Rugby posers Horse racing and Greyhound racing is now frowned on,but anybody
Who thinks the BBC is full of lefties is  deluded!

Yeah, look at top gear

The BBC is like a woman scorned,she is carrying out a one man campaign against horse racing.

BBC also seems to be carrying on a campaign against anything traditional.

What a complete loser you are..

Jeremy can say anything because the BBC makes a fortune out of Top Gear..

The Programme would be the exception to the.....

I see today's Cheltenham headline on the BBC homepage is "Third horse dies at Cheltenham".

Presumably "Jockey seriously injured in fall" or "Sire De Grugy wins Champion Chase" wasn't juicy enough for them.

You won't hear a peep out of the beeb tomorrow if something happens to Uncle Jimmy in
the Pertemps

looks like bbc going to have another go on newsnight

^ a complete non event. Not quite sure what the agenda was or what conclusions were expected to be drawn. A very confused and ill thought out slot.

The BBC were happy to bask in the glow of the Grand National, Royal Ascot etc, for year - and still are to an extent. I'd have slightly more sympathy for their agenda if they weren't such laughable hypocrites.

To the opening poster - by your logic then, when the news is about North Korea, they shouldnt talk about the repression, prison camps, and public executions, cos thats not very pleasant or palatable TV viewing, but instead they should bask is the beautiful opulent palaces that Kim Jong-un can enjoy at his pleasure ...

Does that represent a appropriate analogy, would you say ??

"Yeah, look at top gear" 

there's a rumour going around that the BBC are looking to cancel programs like Top Gear to save money.
