@PaulCHaigh It simply clarifies that he was a far more valuable asset than you. We will miss him. We did not miss you.

@brucemillington I have nothing against Graham or Lee. Define 'we' in this context. Your and Alan's bookie-licking was the reason I resigned

@PaulCHaigh And what was the reason you subsequently begged to be able to work for us again?

@brucemillington Attempted cunning. You can't change anything from the outside

maybe someone should remind bruce some senior people have been fired for less on twitter
here's hoping, go on paul stick it up his arris |
|
By:
Never met the man but do find Bruce Millington utterly repugnant, and his original response befits that read on him.
|
|
By:
keep it up paul;i imagine you've got the support of the entire forum...
|
|
By:
Homefortea will be along shortly.
|
|
By:
No Paul doesn't have the support of the whole forum. A tribute to a respected colleague is not the time to bring up other stuff.
|
|
By:
If someone would please translate what has occurred then I will gladly comment..
Sounds like a lot of big girls arguing over handbags but if it gets the ugliest Man In The World sacked from the Paper that is in Rapid Decline then I will give a few likes....  |
|
By:
Looks like Bruce Millington won.
|
|
By:
Paul's better than this and I will let him know next time we speak.
|
|
By:
Bruce would only ever win anything if it was Who is the biggest idiot ever to run a newspaper competition?
|
|
By:
A quick glance at Paugh Haighs twitter feed actually brings a bit of sympathy for Bruce...
The T wat is an absolute imbecile and should not be allowed a keyboard.. His views are objectionable to me and he should be subject to a visit from the Police. |

Says it all about Mr Millington |

Johnny Mustang is funny, i will let him know the next time we speak.

Johnny Mustang is the original arse on here..
If he speaks to himself on a Tuesday he has had a good week. |
|
By:
Thats what i was thinking myself.
|
|
By:
Yes maybe, I hold no candle for Bruce Millington. A lot of people were expecting Paul Haigh to expose the wicked practices of the industry after he left the Racing Post "on principle," we thought. But it turns out he wasn't leading a crusade but begging for his job back, according to the twitter banter.
|
|
By:
Don't do any social media, so can't read who's saying what ?.
but i've written to Bruce several times about Bookies and there rancid ways, hoping he will print it,I even had proof, but he ran and hid.... |
|
By:
Bruce is the original horses arse and if Alan in Dublin asked him to suck it he would say "for how long" but that Paul Haigh is something else..
A disgusting individual that just like so many on the left has ruined this country.. Just for once - see him off Bruce ... |
|
By:
Bruce millington said Paul Haigh begged for his job back.
He's not cruel enough to post the application. Is he? |
|
By:
Johnny Mustang is the original arse on here..
If he speaks to himself on a Tuesday he has had a good week. Quite enjoyed that to be fair. |
|
By:
who is this bruce character ?
never heard of him |
|
By:
who would honestly leave a job in that way and beg for the job back......most would rather go homeless
wouldn't believe a word of it |
|
By:
Racingqueen - if you were Paul Haigh and it was not true, would you leave it there, looking like a loser...
|
|
By:
......... he hasn't responded to it though.
They both come across as grade A tw@ts. |
|
By:
So Millington is pi**ing around on Twatter whilt his Racing Post has managed to publish the Southwell card for Friday with the wrong form figures for EVERY horse.
You could not make it up... |
|
By:
Mildly diverting. At least David Ashforth is back!
|
|
By:
How is that half-wit liberal poster still alive..
He has never written anything that has ever meant anything in his whole life.. I would hate to be his insurance agent as he must have claimed to have died on at least five separate occasions in the last ten years... |
|
By:
Surely you can't say M********* on here ?

Whatever happened to The Sporting Life
|
|
By:
Not trying to be funny but who the feck cares who are they anyway think theyr important in the racing circles not in my eyes couldn't run a raffle

spot on ^

I don't particularly care "who they are", but I do care a lot about horse racing. The sport still thankfully has a daily paper, which could easily have been lost in the early 90s. The Sporting Life in it's latter days was an apology of it's former self. Often consisting of no more than 16 pages. At least the RP does print a lot off stuff which the reader can decide to ingest or not. There again, I would not soil this thread with my opinion of Mr Millington. |
|
By:
Paul lost his job because he was constantly upsetting advertisers (bookies).
The advertisers keep the paper going. Bruce therefore had no alternative but to warn him not to do it, otherwise bookies might cease spending their money on ads. Paul resigns as a consequence on principle but found there was no other way to be heard than through the pages of the Racing Post. Paul asks for the chance to put his views across again and comeback freelancing. He is told 'no we are fully staffed with writers now'. Paul put his principles first but they don't pay the bills. |
|
By:
The two of them should grow up and Paul's has obviously had a few to many jars.
|
|
By:
Imo we no longer need a racing daily paper because of the internet. Newspapers are going. Never buy one nowadays even if Im going racing. I will study the form online the night before so when I get to the course I don't need to bother with that and can spend more time socialising, getting the best price etc.
|
|
By:
Pity the RP can't get their online edition correct, then...!
|
|
By:
True! But I use something else because RP is too slow!
|
|
By:
wow, internet affecting newspaper sales shock...who knew? nevertheless, plenty of people still prefer/require the printed copy.
