Calling Pat Cooney B365

at least he told the truth, Kate Miller comes on and tells us it's because we're all arbers

fatty .....
two wrongs don't make a right
if you worked for them
knew it was wrong
"felt it was unfair"

You'd still bath in the gravy would yer ?

Morally bankrupt fatty

Good to know the spirit of the Nazi concentration camp commandants is still alive and kicking at the R P

5,016-76

I would be orgasmic if they layed me that, well more than usual

I know, told the traders I didn't bang their missus's though

fook me eastmead... Its about 75.50 more than i can get.  Wont lay me fook all in anything.    Did they then shorten it?  or leave the 66's there?

didn't watch the show last night

but fck me the hypocrisy of that man is unreal, its called what goes around comes around pat me old mucker

Why is everyone having a go at someone just cos he told the truth. It's hardly gravy train stuff, he still needs to make a living, I thought fair play to him for pointing out the frustration that a lot of punters experience, I cant believe he spoke about it to enhance his career prospects.

TR make sure you buy a one with a big nose

It's good in photographs

Hope this helps

Fair play to him, he has gone up in my estimation. Never heard a bookmaker representative be so open and honest about the situation.

He pays his bills by working for a bookmaking firm and represents them on the show. I would hope his honesty doesn't get him in trouble with his employers.

I would have thought `gravy train' would be way more apt to the racing post editorial staff.

As the sport sinks to greater depths almost by the week the lack of serious critical comment
or investigate rigour is truly shocking. Last Mondays article by Mr Donaldson regarding the sittigbourne/trainers championship debacle was the most cringe inducing piece of journalism I have ever read on any sport. 

`Participation is not compulsary, and the three all had their valid reasons' - He obviously thinks that Mr Lister OBE (!) not realising that Sittingbourne is easier to get to by road from Newark than Wimbledon is a perfectly acceptable reason to pull out of `the sports equivalent of the champions league finals'

Apparantly, Lister (Real Madrid), Rosney (Man United) and Rab (Chelsea) pulling out cast a `slight shadow over Sittingbourne as a venue' and he `shared in the disappoinment' of them pulling out `to a degree' lololol. Sounds like a decent % of his mind was quite happy that 3 of the top 6 trainers pulled out. 

The final paragraph explained that the 3 additional trainers would `ensure it is business as usual for a night which is the perfect showcase for our sport'.

You really couldn't make it up. If this is the showcase of the sport and only half of the field bother turning up then it really is lights out time!!! No comment on the need for proper leadership on the subject from the GBGB/trainers association or hard probing of the 3 trainers reasons for not bothering to turn up.

The situation sums up why the sport really is a complete amateurish mess but according to the rp's man on the spot it is just business as usual.

Not a decent or honorable person among the whole staff

Exactly Mullah

The game needs a good kick up the @rse.....get Barry Hearn in

some excellent points here
it is the lack of rational thought that gauls
it was a sport 400 years ago
it will always be a sport
its shelf life as a "product" is doomed

could get Hazel O Sullivan, Daniella Alfree, Jess Impiazzi, Sammi Marsh, Nicola Cowell and Nicola Moriarty to lead the dogs up - sure that would get a few more perverted horndogs to go racing

what qualities do those in charge have that can push the game forward , what are their track records in controlling and  promoting a sport to become successful ?


Those in charge are former bookmaking industry henchmen of some stature - there's no agenda whatsoever for the long term health of the sport other than as a means to generate additional betting revenue for the bookmakers who control the industry from top to bottom.

Don't expect the media to help - they all work for them...

yes wonders

agree with those points wonders

players unhappy with the new set up been moved from newport

going off topic I know but saw this on bbc sport site

Welsh Open: Ronnie O'Sullivan likens venue to 'shopping mall'
The new venue for the Welsh Open is like a "shopping mall", according to defending champion Ronnie O'Sullivan.

The Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff hosts the 10-table event for the first time since 2003 and O'Sullivan criticised it after beating Vinnie Calabrese 4-1.

"It's like playing in a shopping mall." he said. "There were people walking around and getting up as and when they wanted.

"The etiquette of snooker is not to move when a player is on his shot."

The tournament had spent the last nine years being held at the Newport Centre, before World Snooker chairman announced the tournament was being moved to a new, larger, venue for 2015.

Speaking to BBC Sport, O'Sullivan was critical of the move.

"I don't like it (the new venue)," he said.

"I thought Newport was one of the best venues I've played at, so I was really gutted to see it go.

"I had played here, so I knew what kind of venue it was. It's kind of like playing in an aircraft hangar, so it's a bit difficult.

"The atmosphere's not great, the acoustics are not as good, so from a snooker player's perspective, it's not as good a venue as Newport.

"But from a 128-perspective you need venues that are big enough to take 128 players."

O'Sullivan will face Rory McLeod in the second round.

ronnie sticking 2 fingers up to the administrators as usual
he is right though
