GET RID OF MICK FITZGERALD ON ATR FOR TALKING UTTER CRAP.

It,s an "Irish thing" isn,t it Muppettoft and the great a--e licker "the catt" are possibly two of the worst on air and that,s saying something.

mute,ruk atr, r thats better.

Does anyone on here actually approve of anyone on any of the racing channels?

I was actually wondering that myself.

Jim McGrath ( ex Timeform)

Paul Morrison,Kevin Blake stand out by a mile......... there are a few that blah,blah but no end product

Willie Carson.

Willie "stick the mortgage on it " carson

I liked wee willie , spoke his mind

Willie never sat on the fence

His loyalty to Hern cost him a knighthood.

Yes it did mac , don't think he ever forgave any of them

Have to admire him for that hello. Not many would have criticised The Queen. Proves they are a vindictive lot to deprive him of a knighthood because of it. Great jockey and he should have got it for his services to racing. He only spoke the truth.

Turned on the Morning Line y'day after not watching it for 3/4 weeks. Before that I'd watched it religiously for the last 7 years. Enjoyed GC and Frankie's analysis and just used the old MUTE button when Fitz came on from York. Actually worked quite well. Should not have to resort to that though really.

"You only have to look at Cavalryman's run behind Sea The Stars in 2009.....he says.....

form from nearly 5 years ago....

Fitz on Tropics run in the July Cup "Take out the fav and he's bang there"

Thanks for that Mick.

thick mick will always have a excuse.

Bob Cooper at start of Racing News "Well he wasn't due in but Mick Fitz has turned up and is in the studio", Does he sleep there now as well.

had to put ATR on mute again. Never heard a bloke talk so much shoite in one program

Wish they'd move studio to John O'Groats - that'd laaarn him

Noticed he was on with Tony Ennis at lunchtime. Decided to watch the cycling instead.

Do they not realise how much he puts people off or do they not care?

They do not give a flying f**k

They do not give a flying f**k

thick mick cant even get the weather right. said it is sunny looks cloudy to me.

this muppet is doing two shifts gready bast...

^^as i said earlier in the thread...fitzgerald must have the best manager in the business

mute button

He`s been in racing all his life, that`s all he knows, he`s been there and done it and put his life at risk, he works hard and earns a living for himself and his family. Get off his case and get a life.

You sir, are in the minority

Feltfair, you do know he is a multi millionaire and doesn't need to work?

He is pinching money some other Gravy Train person in racing may desperately need

I don`t need to work but I do because it`s bred into me.

Feltfair, you dont seem to have grasped the overwhelming groundswell of dislike for this parasite. People who have rarely posted ahve come out of the woodwork on various Forum posts to register their condemnation for this individualcfor a whole host of reasons.
You cannot just dismiss this as sour grapes, as he ads no value to any conversation on form, continues to state the bleeding obvious and most importantly causes many of us to resort to the "mute button".
You gave very selfish reasons for him continuing, but for the benefit of the general betting family he must go

Sorry I choose to disagree.

are you his manager feltfair??

go

go

Todays been a lovely day so far, just hope he doesn't turn up @ Doncaster this evening

feltfair are you mick

g

go

I could never understand why people used to moan so much about the presenters but Mick Fitzgerald soon made me change my mind, gotta be the most irritating presenter out there. I flip channels asap these days.

bye

I have been expressing my disappointment in the ATR's presentation for a long time on Twitter. In particular I've Tweeted my loathing of the voice of Mick Fitzgerald. I reached the point where I made the decision not to watch ATR's because it put me in a bad mood and when I'm in a bad mood I couln't buy a winner. The principal reason for me responding to HAPPYHARRY'S post is to point out to him that he can loathe the guy as much as he likes, but stop using the racist comment "Thick Mick".
Before you come back with a slating for me try this, I dare you to use the same racist collective of 'Pak_ or Ni--er'.
Thank you on behalf of well-educated Irish folk.

Nick...." Which horse ( Taghrooda or Mukhadram ) do you think Hannagan will pick ( for the King George ) ? "

Fitz...." He'll pick the one he tinks has the best chance of winning."

informative post!

All this envy of mick have a dozen jobs and talking in a positive way about every creature that moves is just terrible

I've cancelled Sky in order to reduce my exposure to him.

Mick is starting to look very old and haggard, the pressure from his workload is beginning to take its toll on him.

Mick for your own good and the good of your family, please take a break from it all.

No saint is our Mick I wouldn't think. Bangs on about exchange betting and what he's backed in certain races. Doubt very much he's just picked up the gambling bug all of a sudden after relatively recent retirement. Makes ya think how long he was at it. Maybe he just betted on races he didn't have a ride in

jockeys are not allowed to bet

Yeh p!ss off Mick. Impossible to listen to, completely dislikeable and lacking brain.

At least he hasn't contacted Betfair and asked them to remove the thread and ban all posters with negative comments.

Like his co-presenter allegedly did.

Just the thought of him turning up spoils my day and any enjoyment of ATR /C4.
Saturdays aint what they used to be

James "Professor Hindsight" Willloughby is a close runner up in how to spoil an afternoon's racing.

Not a patch on Fitzy, The Pinhooker.

Fitzy irritates in EVERY way.

Paris. Tommo?

Both Fitzy and Thompson are well ahead of the Professor.

Tough to call between them though

oh god he's on again

mute.

go

.

He's here again, a full afternoon of him.

Yeah, turned on a while ago to see if it was worthwhile watching the racing. There he was like a bad penny!

So it is the Tour de France for me this afternoon.

Mick Fitz answers a email from viewer asking the difference between a seller & a claiming race.

"Well a claimer, Every horse is in to be claimed, A seller, The winner is put up for public auction"

I'm surprised he knew & am glad he is safe and well, Was worried when he wasn't on TV for a full day.

They give him all the very difficult ones so he can show all his expertise that a Gold Cup & Grand National winner can bring to the table.
Excellent contribution - well worth the money 

if he is excellent I'd hate to see a chancer taking up his jobs.

I suspect every moan on here about him gets him an extra gig on ATR.

Gutfeeling - you and me both

this isn't true as any horse can be claimed from a seller before the race, the same as a claimer it is just that the winner is auctioned after the race...

Might want to email the studio and correct the man himself Harry

no gutfeeling cannot spend all day pulling him uphave enough trouble keeping myself honest

go

Worcester this afternoon, so another full shift from him unfortunately.

Said he wasn't back till Uttoxeter Friday.

That's me off for a cycle then.

He's back! Oh dear, the golf or Commonwealth Games it is then.

for him its a 2-horse race.....  4/6 & 2/1

wonder how many times he will be sitting up and taking notice today

.

It's amazing how many punters at home would back a selection on the back of Fitzs positives .

I used to think Terek  dhompson was the worst ever .. But now they're joint top .

atr,ch4 racing
never get this greedbag of the gravy train

This hoss, this hoss, this hoss, ....mute...

Him and graham Cunningham are the worst double act since orville&keith

made a comment on the morning line when one pundit fancied  retirement plan but was worried about softer going.
thick mick says the ground at ascot dries out very quickly indeed so don't worrie about that

he then tips his horse and says it will love the cut in the ground what a knacker.

more **** all day

He's back ....

Seemingly remedial work was not done during his sojourn.

apparently John Egan is riding "as well as ever"

go

MF has more nollage about racing in his left earlobe than any score of spoofers on here. FACT.

get rid of him his voice is nmhfdskjy

What a lot of insufferable bores prattling on about media people.

i sign willingly and you can add Graham Cunningham, too, now there is one person so up himself with so little justification

Definitely not, been thereand done it.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

2016 post and you choose to dredge it up. Give your stalking a rest.

he has the brain capacity of a red ant ,
