Just a bit of fun !
But the Morning Line seems to be rated a waste of time by about 80% on here and tolerated by the remainder .
So whats to be done ?
NICK LUCK - Sack or stay ?
JIMBO M - Sack or stay?
MICK FITZ - Keep or get rid ?
GRAHAM CUNN - Keep or get rid ?
SAM THOMAS - Keep or get rid ?
ALICE PLUNK - Retire her or keep ?
TANYA STEVO - Sack or stay ?
MATTIE B- -Oh dear ! So annoying -Keep or not ?
RISHI - (top jockey )- Keep or get rid
BIG MAC -Bring back or not ?
TOMMO - Bring back or not ? (no contest!)
JOHN FRANC- Return or not ?
ALISTAIR DOWN - re-employ or not ?
SIMON HOLT -Keep or get rid ?
MIKE CATT-Return or not ?
BARRY DENNIS -The BISMARC - Return?
THE GUEST TEST - Bring it back?
THE TIPSTER PIG --Keep it or take it to Market ?
TED WALSH - Return to M.L.next year or not ?
JUST KILL THE WHOLE PROGRAM- YES or NO ?
Any ideas to make the whole show better for the racing fan ?

A dinosaur of a programme. Get rid of the lot. All of them. Has anyone seen The Last Leg on C4? That's how you present a programme. Even if they don't know anything about racing the content would still be better.

Get Lydia Hyslop and Steve Mellish to front it cut out all the background sh1t and vary the rest with guests who are interested in the game and not themselves.
Cut out the dreamy music and hype keep to the info we punters need. Francome,Down and Fitz(in small doses) get rid of the rest. |

Its a complete waste of time and Arab money.
Its a nice little earner for the cast and if it was not for Arab money it would have gone years ago. It really is a lesson in the folly of listening to tipsters and so-called experts. |
|
By:
Doubt if Hislop and Mellish would want to appear on this s***e sick to death of Mick Fitz saying trust me Tanya still can't finish a sentence best thing to do is get rid of it altogether.
|
|
By:
Speaking of which.
Does anyone recall that famous question on Family Fortunes "Name a dangerous race"? The guy answered "Arabs". Les Dennis said "No, the top answer is the Grand National". |

By:
pleeeease get rid of sam thomas, it's cringe worthy listening to him. He has no idea what to say and usually resorts to asking "the grounds drying up will he handle it" It just makes for awkward viewing.

|

fitzy out, gary o'brien in. emma,gina,alice out, lydia in. |

Replacing Clare Balding with Gina Bryce would instantly improve it

BIG MAC -Bring back or not ?
Don't think that is an option to bring him back now after what he done to C4. And his mouth has fired so many bullets into his foot. He looked a sad figure at Cheltenham Races this week.  |
|
By:
its carp now and I never watch. Fitzgerald is nearly as bad as Thompson.
|
|
By:
OH DEAR - Clare Balding was a shocking omission from my original list !
It just goes to show what impact she has with me . |
|
By:
Getting rid of all who work for bookies would be a start.
How can you criticise a bookie that pays you to promote their business? |
|
By:
Let's face it, the programme is really aimed at people who know nothing about horse racing.

MORE GINA BRYCE

By:
I would like to see LYDIA HISLOP have a role in the show . Years ago she used to write a column in the Times and it was always an interesting thing to read .
She was not afraid to ruffle a few feathers . The trouble with horse racing is that it appears to one big gravy train and no one wants to get off . Mind you ,if you were on it and having a continuous "free ride" would you want to rock the boat ? |
|
By:
GRAHAM CUNN... get rid, he is too similar in his opinions to Jimbo for a programme to be interesting you need different opinions and a bit of conflict not back patting all the time

By:
What a boot the "seagull"
 (pricewise)  |

By:
Seagull is the last person to be on it his selections when he is on are deplorable.

Simon Mapletoft? Or just another bland "yes man"?
|

By:
It has to change but the issue is also the format,alaways trying to have 10 second photo captures with musical interludes which irritate me immensely. Reduce the number of presenters,concentrate on the races being shown and analsye them in depth with less sycophantic interviews which are onltyused to promote prsonalities within racing. The show has become a copy of the BBC format and has deteriorated massively since Tommo,Down,Jimbo and Francome used to plough through the days cards.

I think they need a shack up to be honest, they need to get bookmakers on the show who will give views on the market and take a decent bet ( if you could find one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ) Jimbo is the only one i listen to and says it how it is GC and fitz are hopeless

I can't understand why Cunningham gets so much stick on here as at least he has knowledge & enthusiasm.
However, I haven't forgiven him for those APPALLING tips last year (probably under orders from the bookies) in Grands Crus (short price fav over 3M and on bottomless ground) & Sanctuaire to beat Sprinter Sacre (with just 7 runners so bad value E/W) in the Victor Chandler after two previous 20 length maulings! He also advised Tofino Bay (a novice with over 11st if memory serves) as an ante-post tip for the National???? Definitely on the bookies' payroll! He's a shít tipster but he's definitely worth his place on TV as is McGrath, though I can't bear looking at the fcuker with those annoying mince pies  |
|
By:
The relatively bearable ones include;
Jim McGrath (the oracle...but those fcukin' eyes!) Graham Cunningham (one of the better ones) Mike Cattermole (not as bad as many others) Alistair Down (when he's not fawning, he's OK) John Francome (lazy & contrary but strangely missed) Simon Holt (part of the furniture) Richard Hoiles (ultra-pro) Ted Walsh (I like his outspoken views) John McCririck (when he shuts up about the whip) Tanya Stevenson (stuttering buffoon but harmless) Gina Bryce (takes your mind off the racing) whilst the ones that need the PERMANENT ejector seat or dropped to the ocean floor tied to a large boulder are; Sick Fcuk (smug prick) Mick Fitzgerald (uber-bluffer) Derek Thompson (what can I possibly add?) Rishi Persad (sheer tokenism) Leslie Graham (the worst EVER) Alice Spunkit (just useless) Sam Thomas (utter ponce) I can't recall any more...I'm worn out after the Festival! |
|
By:
Ted Walsh,Charlie Swan,Jimbo,John Francome,Simon Holt,Alistair Down,Cunningham possibly, would all be fine
I wouldn't p*ss on ANY of the rest of them if they were on fire. |
|
By:
Richard Hoiles would be ok ( nearly forgot him amidst this sea of mediocrity )

I truly loathe Cunningham more than any other, terrible judge, wind bag, bore just awful |
|
By:
JR - I just don't understand how he can be more loathed than the ones in the shít column who know absolutely fcuk all...they've no expertise, character, or even enthusiasm!
PS - W/D with the Gold Cup winner...that's absolutely baffled me and as I stated, it probably had the WORST recent form of any of the last 35 Gold Cup winners! Maybe there really is something I'm missing in your trends analysis but nevertheless each to their own and if it works for you then fcuk everyone!Everyone thinks my E/W L15's on rags is mug betting but it works for me at the Festival most years  |
|
By:
because he is making out he is a judge when really he is just regurgitating the form book
complete bluffer, makes me sick to listen to him seriously I would do a better job, just with more swear words |

learn the lesson, it's not all about form form is just one of dozens of elements |
