When he was about to interview Fehily earlier, he said: Noel he must be counting his....and I thought he was going to say 'percentage'...but no, he said [ ]
Anyone wanna fill in the blank? |

toes ?!

It's a good guess but it's not right

eyes ?!

By:
one of the great interviewers our time. Nearly up there with Rishi
|

By:
Well done, you've passed the audition for Blankety Blank

He gives me the creeps with his smiley fake charm with winning connections, he's always delighted for them, couldn't have happened to nicer people etc. .... presumably leaching to get them involved in his racing club?

Those microphones mounted on the sticks, he'd look better strapping his to his forehead.

Agreed sickening , so fake and false ...... |
|
By:
I like how he finishes each interview with a 'well done' in very low voice.
|
|
By:
I thought we might get a well deserved break from him this week, but no, ATR send him to Ireland for 4 days despite having their regular team on duty.
|
|
By:
His inane comments and terrible voice merely give reassurance to the public that transportation had its good points.
|
|
By:
"He is very popular in the weighing room." zzzzzzz
|
|
By:
he just said,
"Punchestown never fails to disappoint" ![]() |

I used to like those thommo interviews that ended with his sincere "enjoy the moment" - I used to think how can they enjoy the moment if he just ruined it.
|
|
By:
Hopefully he'll stay at Punchestown for the final day so we can enjoy Sandown even more without him.

Its this constant love in that everyone is so nice.Its the same on RTE every jockey is a great fella,every trainer is a wonderful family man and a hard worker and what is really funny is that they think they sound sincere spewing all this carp about each other.Does anyone have time for Blake..?

By:
Blake- a good bloke.

By:
Surprises me to see so many of you slagging off Fitzy, makes me wonder what kind of people you are, but I'm not too curious, I can guess. Personally I've always liked him and he was high on my list of great jockeys. I think his "nice bloke" image is genuine, he is a nice bloke and people talk to him willingly and naturally, which is why ITV will do well to keep him.
|
|
By:
Yes people on here never tire of watching his every move and never forget every uttered word. Never a week goes by when they don't write about him.
|
|
By:
Yes like Kevin Blake talks lot of sense shame he is on atr try not to watch that

I'm with Driver2. I was quite happy to see Mick as part of the ITV Racing team.

By:
I have got to say Fitzy's interviews are toe-curlingly embarrassing and I suspect some of his interviewees feel the same. Mick may indeed be a nice man but he brings absolutely no useful insight to the watching punter and he is massively over-used, seemingly appearing on all TV channels daily. There appears to be nothing he won't do in pursuit of an extra pound - I seem to remember reading on here that when one of his tips won (rare) he asked the client to have £50 on for him at SP!
Nice man Fitzy......hmmm. He certainly tries very hard to convince us he is! |
|
By:
Here is the story about the Mick Fitzgerald "put £50 on for me" scam. As far as I know he's still doing it.

how 'nice' of him to ask people to put £50 bets on for him

Watched Mick at close quarters at Punchestown. A decent fellow. He's having a great laugh at you all.

By:
did he ask you to put £50 on for him ?!
|
|
By:
Tee hee!
|
|
By:
Odious character. Totally false. but that's just my opinion.
|
|
By:
Thanks Birkdale - hopefully the misguided TV shirts will read this and bring Mick's runaway gravy train to a halt!
Fitzy's interviewing 'technique' makes Thommo look like Jeremy Paxman by comparison! |
|
By:
If Fitzy had a trilby, a moustache, an open racecard, a deferential demeanour and a non-rhotic southern accent, would he be more acceptable to his more rabid critics? Perhaps horse racing gets the presenters it deserves. Anyone for genuine John McCririck?

Has anybody EVER put £50 on for him ?
|

I would be up for giving him £50 to never grace my television screen ever again
