Sky TV, Sunderland Festival

Yep, can see that happening. The whole structure, representation and management of the PR side of greyhound racing needs a substantial and lasting overhaul.

lets see what the 2 mutes have to say when the dogs are back on sky

Woody will be on to say he won a fiver betting in running on the tennis soon

hobbsy 1.01 "its disappointing but hey never mind, at least we have 2 live races"

Apparently Hobbs not on tonight but replaced by Julie

Therefore we are being robbed of valuable rack watching time

Wonders, spot on

CLASSIC

hobbsy gets a bit dizzy if he is north of the watford gap

O well that's the end of hills sponsoring greyhound racing anymore

Least Hobsie and rest of the gravy train gang will earn less cash in future

lol ravage, people like him always find a way ...lifelong grade A arris licker

has to be a reason for this carry on

is it tie break or 2 clear sets in this tennis event any1 know??

*2 clear games

I won another tenner backing spa to watch the race on here

But 6-4 instead of 5-2

It is a tie-break final set (only the Grand Slams have open-ended deciders)

The only reason I can think of is that Sky's overall cost of tennis rights is massively higher than what they pay for the dogs ... therefore, they're determined to wring every last minute of action out of the tennis

I can still hear gob sh1te matt at Sunderland even watching the tennis in Germany

thanks dalbers...another 15-20 mins then hopefully get the 4 finals in

SORRY ABOUT THE REPEAT BUT THIS SITUATION REALLY IS VERY ODD.

I follow the main tennis ATP and WTA circuits throughout the year from both a general interest and an investment perspective. I must say that this is one match that I WOULD NEVER CHOOSE TO WATCH from any perspective whatsoever; low in interest, skill and potential profit. I just cannot understand why SKY have opted to keep it on and they need to explain it.

Cancel your SKY.

That's a relief

Commentator just told me I'm watching something of an epic

Walshes Hill race will be the next to be missed.  Would just love to hear the justification from Sky in sticking with a tennis match involving 2 players that hardly anyone has ever heard of being played in front of empty seats..

Chariots of Fire on?

have seen better tennis played in my local park

At least two more games now so that's another live race gone

i hope now it goes to a tie break 15/15 **** the dogs tonight

Maybe Sky's done it coz Hills backed out of Derby sponsorship?

Shirley now

With all their channels surely Sky could have shown the racing elsewhere.

must be 5 set match

play 2 games and then sit down ffs they're supposed to be athletes, I'm on my feet more during a bags card than they are jesus christ

All the favs winning Billy Hills going to be even more pissed off

Woody how much you won on this tennis match in running

bowser will be out soon

Closing in on the finish

Then 25 minutes of analysis...........

cmon fkin finish him

Do theu use em on the tennis court ?

Does the bowser make a big difference on clay courts?!!

40-15

beautiful

7.59 race

Are they showing the mixed doubles now

adverts fook off

wheelchair mixed doubles wynn

this will be funny from the 2 clowns

Great

Oi oi 9/2 Ballymac Cathal!

wd 6 bcks

I'm on Woody watched it on 365. Feck Sky. Yoo de man.

Here comes the apologies.

Let's see what these two idiots make of this

unforeseen circumstances fck off

Hobsie already left the building and fooked off

tennis taking priority, sack sky off simples

Trunkated show. Believe me my son has an android £15 a month for same as what you get on here.

Looks like some Sky producer must have the quits looking at all them doggies going around and around. Well done Woody. Paid for the night.

Enzo not said tennis more important than doggies has he?

What a PC whitewash from the presenters ... surely a comment even barely hinting of disapproval would have been appropriate.  Perhaps, tomorrow will bring a more appropriate response to SKY from those charged (for the moment at least) with this responsibility to the promotion of greyhound racing.

haha tremendous irony I like it

Matt got it right there. Any support from the others. doubt it.

That tennis match was between Numpty A v Numpty B nobody never heard of them and was crap.

walshes finally wins a big un that should be him now

Seems massively uncomfortable.

Julie: "Walshes Hill has finally done it in front of the Sky cameras" - thanks to the tennis he's just about the only dog tonight that has!!

Boris is new foreign secretary

We will rule the world again within ten years

That was a perfect example of presentation with a lack of awareness of what to say appropriately in the context of tonight's debacle of TV coverage ... pathetic skill set.

rail looks fcked now

Oi oi 8/1 Bluebird (antepost?) but think on at 6/1 sp coz Mikel didn't go,

hit the rail at the first and all

Bubbly Bluebird a decent price at 6/1 he says. Returned 12 on here.

another proper dog out of the paul young kennel yawn

oh dear these bubblys owners  go and buy a dog on your own

it's amazing what they see when they watch a race, ffs Stevie Wonder can see him hit the rail at the first

smash break and on favourable ground...66/1 for the derby get the mug cash in the satchel nice and early

But all burst eventually grasshopper .

that thing of his that ran in the classic and is supposedly a 30k dog doesn't stay a yard over 400m and cant run a corner apart from that got everything going for it

they won't come near me i give it to them going around the track telling everyone it's there dog plus another 20 of you

I'm sure the adolescent was on RPTV a while back saying there were 100 shares in 1 of the dogs he was on about that's not even a toenail each

8.51 on 1 A/P @ 6/1 and 7/1 and 3 e/w @ 33s, pretty fcked off with the going tbh so have laid some 1 back cheaply still want him to win and 4th+ for 3 ta

oioioioioioioioi

Oi oi 5/1, Boom!

william hill 1st up 6/1 WRONG danny boy up next copying hills 7/1 WRONG pmsl how have these people got jobs was never ever anything bigger than 3/1-7/2 poke A/P as for mustang golden 33/1 keep pricing up lads

9.08 on 1 A/P @ 16s again have laid some back small on the going, still want him to win

good old bowser lol

wd winners

top very disapointing

Toolmaker Scot never looked comfortable on the inside, ran off middle at the first, then looks to take a bad step on the second, comes together with the 2 heading into the 3rd

Zip werent there PF looked over the place

See how Scot fares wearing red again in Irish Sprint heats this weekend at Dundalk then

It's a totally different configuration to Sunderland and his heat is not the hardest

how much did you get out of ballymac cathal woody.......pay for a holiday?.......

I know that was value Winja but I don't necessarily place too much credence on it. Vast majority of my bets just for fun, backing dogs i like at reasonable prices. Some dogs I really dislike and wouldn't have a penny on no matter how great it was from a value aspect

shame you never trusted your own judgement woody.......there's a difference backing dogs at a big price and backing a dog that's over priced and you certainly found one worth backing............well done on 18/1 Portugal as well who were not value but grovelled over the lines......

I know you can get large priced dogs that are poor value. When I go racing, I go to watch the quality dogs and root for them. Fast and classy for me everytime. It isn't deemed playing the value game, but I like it when they bolt home

Fast and classy

Woody you're the man
