Probably says more about my state of mind at the moment tbh. But I coulda done with a bit of a laugh today and SC delivers very well in that regard but the Player's Chair seldom allows the listener a light chuckle.

I personally found it one of the better players chairs, mainly as Richie wasn't interjecting with his own 'Millwall' examples every 2nd sentence like he usually does, and actually let the guest talk and express themselves. Very sad to hear of Rose's experiences of day to day life as well. He sounded well and truly fed up with the state of affairs regarding race in the UK.

Richie's interviews (which I listen to) are bereft of some fun. Of lightness. Of being. Even in the gloomiest of situations Richie tries to dive darker. He always divines towards the darker angular where no lightness can escape. Richie is a moment away from Dave McSavage's portrait of Joe Duffy's nipple twisting glorifying of another person's agony. That's not where he wants to be but for this listener it's hard to escape that that's where he's going. Don't get me wrong, I do like RS. But has he listened to too much Ray D'arcy? and thought to himself..."the crowd, the people...they want it darker, ever darker than gloomy D'Arcy , I can do that. I can kill natural humour and if you laugh I'll call you a lesser hearted being. Get on board the Wellness train or remain an emotionally backward****tard." We all deal with emotional stuff. Mostly in my experience we attempt to deal with it in good humour when half appropriate. Richie's interviews never find that natural and normal human touch. Richie could do with listening back to Dr. Anthony Clare's interviews and paying less interest into Ray D'Arcy's line of gloomtacism spiel.

All instances of racism should be condemned and dealt with, I thought Rose made good points on the problems of racism in football, the lack of proper fines for national FA's and the lack of information about what happens if a game is abandoned. I wish they had of got into the lack of black managers a little more. However, because racism is being spoken about now far more than it was say 5 years ago, I think people are more aware of it and therefore there is a tendency to see instances of racism where it may not exist. Rose's example of the ticket collector on the train, perhaps the ticket collector was being racist or perhaps he was doing his job and didn't ask the two white passengers for their tickets because he recognised them as regular commuters. Rose's opinion seems to be 'society is systemically racist.' That's a political opinion, it wasn't challenged by Richie because he's of the same political point of view as Rose. A good interviewer should challenge the interviewee.
