jimmy....your comments match my views on sports and news programmes. The recent coverage of the European indoors athletics was a good example. Interviewing a Brit who's just finished 5th in his/her
heat while in the background we hear crowd roaring at something that's going on in the infield. Ten minutes later,after the three presenters in the studio have yacked on about the Brit who finished 5th in his/her/it's heat, we get to see a recording of the reason for the roar we heard earlier: someone broke a World record. |

What I find incredibly annoying is all the commercials they pump at us are about five years old, and give the whole program, a cheesy, dated feel ... Should be a time limit on commercials of about three months.... Come on Paddy Power....make a new Ad FFS ! (cheapskates !)

Have to generally agree with another poster. My 1st job in the old days was marking the odds in Mecca bookmakers. No pictures etc we are lucky we have terrestrial tv. If the presenters annoy you that much, and I understand that, turn the volume down until the tapes go up. If terrestrial TV gave up on racing a lot of our older community that have no internet or cannot get out would have no racing. However again I understand why some people do not like the presenting style.

Was miles better even 25 years ago when the BBC had Claire balding and Willie Carson.

terrestrial tv wont give up on racing itv must be taking an absolute shtload from the industry to show it and the bookies need it more than you need toilet roll.

They seem to think more is better in terms of pundits/presenters but they just talk over each other.
Same in most sports now so many presenters/pundits before, during and after the event. Every little thing is sensationalised when it needn't be. |

BBC was a visit to the racecourse.
C4 was a visit to the bookmakers. ITV is a visit to the pub. |

I've said it before, when Ed's "presenting" its completely unwatchable. It's an OK watch with Francesca & Weaver and Ed isn't around during the Flat season .

If we all pull together, maybe we can get Rich Ricci to get a haircut. (Fair play thought he invests a lot money into the game).

Maybe he should ask Paul first whether to go to the barbers or the hairdressers.

Is that not the same as you posting daily on a site you call a " cesspit " ?? Very strange imo. It becomes a cesspit when the City of Troy layer joins in ..............  |
