How much longer do the racing public have to listen to utter nonsense that comes out this man.The novelty of the loud mouth and fancy dress costumes wore off a long long time ago.He brings absolutely NOTHING to horse racing as Barney Curley told him live on ATR he is a 'take out merchant' who courts attention to justify his money.He is the past not the future like the new crop of presenters coming through on ATR and RUK who are very professional. McCririck's time has gone and Derek Thompsons' pathetic commentaries trying to make races more exciting also need to be consigned to the dustbin.

Absolutely. His ramblings on SKY were incredible, one point he said Jockeys need a whip to control a powerful animal, some point later the whip should be banned. He's no longer relevant...........and actually he's part of the problem.

Agree, he's definately part of the problem

Yes, ATR are a disgrace for employing him.

By:
we must be able to get him banned

See other thread we are to bombard Sundays ATR phone in to get him off.

Agreed, thinks he bigger than what he is
Totally deluded |
|
By:
I disagree with him strongly on this one but he is entitled to his opinion and calling for him to be banned is hypocritical.
|
|
By:
Totally agree guys.
The lunatics have well & truly taken control of the asylum. Regretfully, the damage has been done irreversibly, mainly by an egotistical & disingenuous bafoon. |

By:
His opinion has so many holes in it anybody that thinks the whip is cruel must surely think NH racing is cruel.
|
|
By:
He is not interested in racing just in self-publicity.
Can you imagine Peter O`Sullevan or Clare Balding on Celebrity Big Brother ? |

By:
^^^ Excellent forum name. Well done.
Failed bookmaker. Sacked handicapper. Said Zenyatta had no chance. I can assure you my list would be longer than yours. And if you only backed Goldikova because McCririck tipped it I feel sorry for you as well. Go back to bed. |

Unfortunately non-racing channels wheel Mcririck on to our screens when there are any horse racing issues which may be of interest to the general public.
He is part of the perception problem, who can take horseracing issues seriously when he is put in front of the camera, this guy has prostituted himself for money in the last few years. He is viewed as a horse racing expert by people who don't have any knowledge of the sport or politics within the sport. It is an indictment on the man that he is given air time to share his overbearing / bombastic views on the sport which has given him a comfortable living. |
|
By:
Why is it that we can all see this but he still gets away with it , this sport is sick to the core.

brigust,you backed zenyatta,lay of the century,breeders cup coming up/?.,your a nick luck fan.

spot on holywell
db59 - behave yourself. |

By:
Dead, stop living up to your name.
I never backed Zentatta (she won), never had a bet. I do like the Breeder's Cup but bet very little there. And no, I'm not Nick Luck's only fan. I do like Willoughby though, some of the time. |

zenyatta, got beat.

A total, self promoting hypocrite. Whip is cruel but agrees with fox hunting. Failed bookmaker but always telling other bookmakers (who make a successful living) how to run their book and what to offer punters. He sees the whip issue as something he feels passionately about but is quite happy to demean and humiliate women with the way he talks and acts. Not passionate about their rights at all. Sat in the Big Brother house in a f*cking big nappy sulking and refusing to talk because he can't have his favourite soft drink. AND MAKES A F*CKING LIVING OUT OF DOING IT. Good on you Channel 4. Good on you ATR. Keep paying him. Forget about double standards, forget about women's rights. Keep employing and paying him.

I can normally tolerate the fat oaf but the ATR interview was a disgrace.
Here is a man who has made a living out of racing and now as he nears the end of his shelf life appears to be doing his best to kill the game. |

McCrirrick... the man who said at Windsor on monday after two races, LETS CONGRATULATE THE BHA FOR THE WONDERFUL THING THEY HAVE DONE FOR RACING IN INTRODUCING THE WHIP RULE.
the words speak for themselves. |
|
By:
deadbrain59 are you as clueless as you are making out?? When that fat clueless ignorant prick said she had no chance was the year she came with a stunning run to absolutely hack up in the Classic. She got beat the year after that.
And i agree with the vast majority on this thread, he adds nothing to the sport, his track record shows how utterly clueless he is and he just takes takes takes from the game. |

By:
I have no fondness for Big Mac but what you are really saying is it is fine to fill the screens with any number of idiots as long as they support your view. Or is it just too much to expect you to listen to an opposite point of view?
|
|
By:
different....... if that was for me, then apart from the obvious that whatever you think of the rule, no one can say that the timing and what has happened is good for racing.
secondly, how can you make a point like that after just over an hour of racing. he is entitled to his opinions but he is the worse i have ever heard of not giving the opposite view a chance. its his way or no way. |

i was reffering to last year?.how many tv presenters add to the sport answers on a postage stamp please.
