He can be so rude, too intrusive.

How do you know they don;t like him?
Report StewB June 20, 2023 3:42 PM BST
cos many were asked recently
most of them said he was annoying
Report ALIEN SEX FIEND June 20, 2023 4:17 PM BST
At least sometimes he will ask the questions that others will not, maybe that's why they don't like him. The real issue is familiarity breeds contempt. So the more we see the more we pick holes.

I'm with ASF on this one.  His grotesque approach is marmite but he often digs out some otherwise avoided answers.

^ not from one of his social media buddies though who get a freebie from him

Disagree entirely. Most jockeys like him, Levey, Murphy, Marquand, Doyle x 2 , Shoemark etc etc he is being tongue in cheek most the time, but his knowledge on people and horses is exceptional people don't get him. Given  the daily grind, I think most Trainers and jockeys prefer to be interviewed by him then most of the other interviewers with their pointless,  "will he stay further" interviews .

Matt has mellowed with time and I find him quite acceptable. Certainly knows his stuff.
Report sparrow June 21, 2023 7:18 AM BST
He is awful to listen too with his constant shouting and its all just an act with the same old nonsense spouted day after day and no interest at all in anything below Class 3 racing. Certainly in the bookmakers pockets and never one to criticise a British jockey unlike others from abroad where he has does not have to worry about his next interview.

I second that, Matt's ok.

He’s a 22 carat ****

Old hat tries to be like an American “shock D.J.” it’s all been done before

Anyone that thinks the jockeys and trainers respect him should go to spec savers, watch their eyes when they are forced to talk to this clown.

His hair cut for a man of his age tells you everything you need to know about him

Got blown out by the greyhound media because he was $hite

He’s the epitome of everything that’s wrong in modern day journalism

Brightens what place up exactly?

For me, he is always trying to be the centre of attraction. He's better than some because he has opinions but on balance, I'd rather not listen to him.

Ironic that Stewb accuses Chapman!!

When people say he 'knows his stuff' what does that mean? Obviously, he does if you compare him to the likes of Harvey.

Is it a weird, misplaced recollection, or did the Betfair Forum virtually get him re-instated about 10 years ago?

Why the question mark as I don't recall the forum mounting any campaign for some reinstatement.
Report SlippyBlue June 21, 2023 1:49 PM BST
I don't mind him, a bit indifferent really I suppose but...this " booom" thing he insists on doing is extremely peurile.

He should knock that on the head but he won't of course.
