Get well soon Tommo ...

wow,u serious?
don't like the man,but get well soon thommo,awful news.

Get well soon Thommo

Ditto Timeform Squiggle.

I love the guy, genuinely loves the sport and has fun
Give me him a million times over a cynical presenter. The people love him too and that can't be ignored.
Get well soon.

Loads of people on here knock him, but I think he's great for the sport. Even now he's relentlessly cheerful and optimistic, stating that he's frustrated about having to miss the races for the next month or two but will still be watching on TV from his hospital bed!

Go Thommo, you lip-smacking 'here comes the big outsider' loveable bag of crass, cliched commentaries!

As for your recovery, let's hope it's speedy....but I'll leave that one for the judge...

God awful news , ive knocked him regardin the tippin line for sure , but he is a character and trackside can be very ammusing in a" whats coming next" kinda way .

Genuinely sorry to see anyone ill and wish him a speedy recovery


Get well soon BIG FELLA

Like a few previous posters...I have to concede I am NOT a fan at all, and I'm no hypocrite, but neither am I a piece of sh*te that'd revel in such news - nevertheless, I hope he gets well, though his penance must be to NEVER infest our screens again!

If you're reading Derek/Artie...don't take that the wrong way

Was that a bit harsh?
Sorry Derek...get well soon

Best wishes Derek.

Cannot abide the man but would not wish that illness on anyone hope the treatment is successful.

The man's a charlatan, a sycophantic, groveling, cringing, nauseating, patronizing, crawling
ass licking, brown noser of the highest decree. The fact that is employed and tolerated year in year out.
Is symptomatic of all that's wrong with our racing media.  He possesses every facet of character every single
man should not wish to be inflicted with, the above description is transparent in his plastic public facade
that most people in racing have to contend with daily.

Do I wish him ill health, absolutely not, I hope he recovers fully, should I disguise my account of him
because he has an illness no, now that would be hypocritical and two faced.

When he returns and I'm sure he will, he will revert to type

Sad to hear this news its a three mile chase big fella .................. but you can finish full of running

motley has called it - and very well articulated too. If someone behaves in a manner you find despicable, such news should not change your opinion one iota. Of course, no one wishes ill health on anyone.

Just been reading this unreal.
All the best to you thommo and look forward to hearing your comms again.

He's a really decent man, and let's hope he makes a full recovery.

As for the tipping line, anyone who thinks that the publication in which the adverts for it exist is not the driving force behind it, needs to sit down, take a look at that same publication's advertising rate card, and do the maths, imo...

I hope he recovers but is never seen on our screens again.

Surely Thommo is far better at his job than nearly anyone on ATR with exception of Chapman.  Tell me WHO is better?

Not enough charachters about in life nowdays, thommo is definately one of thoughs and good for the sport. gl to him....

Wish him well.
Hope he can report "They're not messing about here " with regards to his treatment.

Love him or hate him, Thommo is a grafter and I wish him a speedy recovery.

Best wishes Tommo, hope it all goes well.

Get well soon big man.

I won't ramble on like your tipping line.

don't know you from adam, derek
but all the best for the future.

P.S don't waste your time and energy worrying about the racing, it will be here when you get back,
spend all your healing time with your wife and kids you will get better quicker.
