TV coverage

I really don't like Alice Plunkett nowadays.

I think she makes it about her too often when she's meant to be interviewing and I find some of the things she says deplorable.

Like after Freddie Gingell won a big race on Il Ridoto and she chimes in with: "don't do that looking to the heavens thing again, it chokes me up."

Who cares what "chokes her up?

He's a young lad who lost his MUM.

He can look to the skies every time he achieves something he thinks she'd be proud of him for the entire rest of his life if he likes.

I once didn't mind Plunkett too much, but I decided she was obnoxious after that.
I thought that you watched with the mute button depressed so HTF do you know what Alice is talking about ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 or were you looking for something to moan about
 
I missed the first 20 minutes of the RTE coverage today but the only contribution I heard Brian Gleeson make was just before the start of the third race he breathlessly announced all the 2/1 Meetingofthewaters was gone and he was now 7/4.The horse returned at 2/1.
Get off the gravy train Brian.
 
Thought the ending credit music on RTE was an interesting choice. Close up of GDC in his element accompanied by Thin Lizzy....Old Town

"This boy is cracking up, this boy has broken down...."

They showed an old sizing Europe ICH piece today
 
Maybe an unpopular opinion

But

I find Jane Mangan over exposed and too appreciative of her own opinion

Insufferable
She got a lot of stick on twitter during the week for not knowing that Limerick were racing on fresh ground. Then a few people commented that she is unapproachable on the racecourse -not a reputation you want to be getting in Ireland.
A few local lads were organising a Cheltenham preview and she wanted €1500-non negotiable.I have news for you Jane -you aren't worth it -when it comes to Cheltenham previews -Davy Russell and Tony Mullins are box office -you aren't.
