Doesnt seem like he knows what hes talking about, obvious that hes reading from a cue, that irritating grin..... He also ruined the Milk Cup final DVD for me with his crap commentry. Bring back Kevin Piper...he knew his stuff. This guy seems like he does no research at all or bothers to read reports just read off an auto que. Really want to slap the smug, grinning, irritating prat round the chops!!!!!! P.S. Its not because hes black before anyone says it.[/quote]If he was white he''d be just as irritating - if not more so.[/quote]Why?[/quote]Because I wouldn''t expect a white presenter to be so self-conscious.[/quote]racist.[/quote]Are you seriously labeling me a racist because I reckon Blake is self-conscious owing to his skin colour?I''ve known and befriended many a black person in my lifetime, and in my fair estimation they do tend to be more self-conscious than your average white person - for obvious reasons >Duh! It''s the same with all minorities - except Gay people who are mostly extrovert.When Blake is presenting on TV he does come across as being a tad uncomfortable, which would suggest I''m not far out with my observational skills.[/quote]This is funny! You''re being funny right? It''s like David Brent or something![/quote]Nay, I''m being perfectly serious - minorities are unduly aware of themselves as the object of the attention of others, hence they are socially ill at ease, and it shows in Donovan Blake as a presenter - he comes across as being somewhat anxious and unsure of himself.Certain quarters complain that there isn''t enough black people on TV, but did any of those complaining ever ponder the reasons why? It''s because of what I''ve expressed above - they are stilted through being self-conscious, which obviously hinders any chances they have of being TV presenters. I guess Donovan Blake is one of the lucky ones.So to those complaining about the lack of minorities on the box, I suggest they adhere to my theory, and if they really yearn to see more black folk on the tube, ask the BBC to put Crimewatch on once a week.
