Once again on Thursday he put his lay of the day in his jackpot perm, that is so funny, its about as sensible as me inviting Birchy around for a dinner party, what with Julie laughing her way through the comms; it was horrible viewing, but the worst in the whole world was Tony Bullen tipping the 5 dog in the marathon at Henlow the week before, saying if it were a 460 race it would lead and win, and adding, im hoping it can hold on for another lap!!!!!

Hes a nice fella but an awful tipster bottom of the naps table I believe, that's why the bookies employ him as he increases profits. He picks the fav practically in every race.

And his lays of the days always seem to hack up

the sky show is a pile of crap now as well since SIS took over

and i ain't moaning b4 anyone says so and not blaming those on the show either, just stating my opinion - was obviously never going to be as good as it used to be with a reduced budget

Yer my idea with a decent lass and trap numbers attached to her clothes

And the winning trap challenge number she whips them off has massive potential

Even I might put a £2 mugs bet on a trap challenge if it happens

LOL his lay hacks up at around 7-2 on here

His NAP at 6-4 nowhere

And just to rub salt into the wound his NB at 11-10 is a dirty fing hanger that does not want to win

His is absolutely clueless, you can see why he's employed by the racing post to select loads of loses so the bookies clean up
Report Stow_judge • December 16, 2013 3:12 PM GMT
I have met Phil briefly once or twice and he seems a really nice lad. I don't see their tv role as that of a tipster, neither for Greyhound or horse racing. He does the job perfectly well as far as I can see. He is passionate about the game and puts the Greyhounds' chances in a reasonable perspective. He's a very professional presenter imo, one of the best ones. I look forward to seeing some of you experts on the show! You might tip more winners, but could you talk and present the racing for around 3.5 hours?

There are elements of truth in what you say but if I am ever suffering from insomnia I just play a tape of Phil's monotonic ramblings and I'm snoring in no time.

Yer I like Phil too he's a great laff, I mean even he's realises he could not pick a winner in a solo trial

Including his lay of the day in his jackpot perm was a comedy genius, espically when it hacked up

"Not easy keeping think ticking over that long"

That's easy for you to say Woody Laugh  but the fact is he puts himself up as a judge , which is somewhat egotistical as you well know , after all he takes the money for it , finishes behind Julie in the naps table and regularly gives us lays that win !

Personally I think its time for a revamp , what with Dave (Rodney) and J K getting boring now. At least Hobbsy comes on for the craic , wearing tea cloths and giving as much banter as he gets. How he avoids the fashion police is beyond me ! Laugh
Report miss.wales • January 21, 2014 10:11 AM GMT
The whole programme has become as boring as The Morning Line did on Channel 4 and I can only bear to watch it nowadays on fast forward, which is obviously no use if you're a Betfair punter.

The likes of Phil, Julie, JK and even Darrell simply have very little of interest to add these days and some of the guests are so up themselves that I'm starting to think that showing 3 or 4 meetings with no visual studio presence, as per the Australian, or American horse racing model is the way forward.

Leave Sky / SIS to do what they're OK at and let RPGTV just stick to punting services.
