I've said it before. The guy is an estate agent/car salesman that has somehow blagged his way into being lead presenter of sports show on mainstream TV. Bizarre!

By:
1) Say "Love" a lot
2) Say "Well Done" a lot 3) Make infantile remarks/jokes and false laugh after saying them. 4) Point out future races to be shown on ITV 5) Name check/brown nose ex jockeys and celebrities 6) Repeat 1-5 throughout the days coverage |

This bookmaker mouthpiece ought to be taken off-air given the promotion and encouragement to bet and own horses from its lead presenter who's doing it solely for the money; this man is a bookie's parasite.

Chamberlain going a bit OTT about Fitzy tipping the winner there as though it was 20/1. The only reason he tipped it was because it was paper fav this morning.

Going back to Deutsch have you ever heard a jockey accept criticism about anything? They carry on as if they are some sort of protected species and they are allowed to do so because the train is weak as piss.
|
|
By:
Fitzy when asked about the weighing room said " They are hurting in there"
When asked why it seemed that bryony had so little support in the weighing room he replied " Dont ask me I haven't been in there for 13 yrs" WAC |

here we go again
walsh[ praised all over racing yesterday for his comments ],luke,plunkett, said absolutely nothing that bass,crawley hadnt said the day before but they were buried by pundits for saying it crawley interview on atr even taking down off twitter, yet bell and supposed sports journo guru hayward never said a word i dont get it |
|
By:
hurting = found out, jockeys dont like rules
|
|
By:
Blazing Khal was 11/8 when he looked says Walsh ..... Yes it was Yesterday.
Agree about showing place terms, seems odd but can only help i suppose. |
|
By:
yes but if want the change they say they want why arnt haywood,bell,hislop,melish etc etc piling in to walsh,AP,LUKE ETC ETC, THE WAY THEY piled into bass and crawley ,obvious answer is they get paid to work with walsh,fitzy,ap etc etc and wont capsize the gravy boat
|
|
By:
I agree 1st time poster they are all hypocrites some alot more than others though
if bell was on a racecourse and interviewed fred west he would be nice to him I dont think he has the investigative side of punditary in him. |
|
By:
Excellent point 1tp with which I concur absolutely. And that makes THEM bullies! Attack the perceived weak and sook up to the strong. You couldn't make it up.

Mick Fitzgerald honest and candid and a terrific pundit. Doesn't tell lies, doesn't jump to conclusions and doesn't jump on a bandwagon and miscall people like GLASGOWCALLING.

mick fitzgerald terrific pundit goodgrief

By:
Well tell us all who is better. Come on - list them. And also please advise us all, in your clearly knowing-all opinion what makes a good pundit.
I'm all ears. |

By:
Read my post at 00-45 regards Fitzy, Biggest " dont rock the boat " merchant on TV ..... Spineless ... just watch how he squirms if anything in the slightest bit controversial is discussed. !!!
Waste of a good Microphone. |
|
By:
just my opinion handful in racing lydia hislop is capable of speaking her mind should do it more, cunningham is capable of giving an opinion when somethings wrong. I sincerely dont know any others who speak up on anything.
the rest are cardboard cutouts dead behind the eyes and take the gravy cash imo jockeys should never be a pundit far to linked with the participants so could never give honest opinion the only exception is ruby walsh he is great at analysing races and goes against the grain on certain issues which is key. |
|
By:
Hislop and Cunningham, both huge egos, who just like the sound of their own voices. Most of it is just a bag of wind. People quote that McCoy race over and over again (let's face it a five-year-old could have spotted that), but that's a million years ago now, and other than challenging very soft target, Henderson, the cupboard is practically bare. They are all happy to maintain the free ride for as long as possible.

oli knew.

By:
I agree with your Ruby assessment. Rarely see the others you mention. I find Mick's insight into the game and contemporary involvement with younger jockeys etc well worth the listen. Young Leona is very promising too. As for them no opening up about controversial issues - who does?
|
|
By:
imo cunningham,s/yjfter write up in the sportinglife about this episode is by far the best far superior to anything lydia hislop has written/spoken about it. but lydia is flavour of the month and has as big a sycophant following as any sportsmen on twitter

no opening show today, but 4 consecutive days racing on itv including 2 days at leopardstown.
