However, I think the coverage from C4 is now a total farce. Let's face it, racing is all about opinions and when I write a post on here I never expect to be 100% correct and always welcome other members adding their point of view. That is what makes it so enjoyable and I hope it will always be that way.
On C4 you have Jim McGrath sat there spouting endless guff with his eyes closed. My dear old Mum always told me never trust a person who talks to you with their eyes closed!
Despite my aversion to his eyes being closed he rarely offers anything of great informative value - GET OFF THE FENCE MAN!!Graham Cunningham who is actually a bloody nice bloke looks totally out of his depth. He doesn't know where to look and he's a bit like a Muppet swinging around on his chair looking at the camera one second and his colleague the next. He also doesn't offer that much pre-event but he is a bloody genius after the event.
Okay so that's my opinion and I appreciate my point of view could be wrong but despite that there is one thing that is never in doubt. There is no difference of opinion - they all blow warm air up each other's orifices and just concur with each other. What's the point in that? We need Roy Keane in there to throw in a different point of view.
I cannot see any improvement since the change. I love Claire Balding but she is also the same and just concurs with the others. It's all too nicely nicely for me...a bit sickly you could say.
What do you think?
