The top ten racing pundits gone from our tellys - 2024 update

Most of them sadly missed by me at least.

wish that jamie lynch would pi.ss off

I always enjoyed listening to 1 & 4, the rest I could live without.

Mostly mute for me George nowadays especially Weaver,fkn unbearable pain…..

Mick Fitz working at the Derby meeting waffling away,not a clue about it.

tellies. numbnut

long time since andyc was on but hes still at it, although much less often on track nowadays. was a regular at kempton

neesom the best, willow worth listening to for entertainment valus but couldnt tip a midget out of bed. kinghorn pothouse mug. 3/10.

Is Barry Dennis still going to the tracks..does anyone know?
I know he had stents fitted in 2019 after heart attacks.  He'd be around 83 now.

No takers for Steve Lewis Hamilton and The Pharoah of the Form Book (Matt Doyle)?

No 1 was always worth a listen

Dave Compton

john rickman

It's actually tele's, thicket, with the apostrophe replacing the missing letters.

someone remind me the name of the ruk old chap that passed away, tom something?

wasn't a pundit as such but he was a proper old yorkshire type, nice man

Tom O'Ryan?

I think he did start off mainly as a pundit, elise

Tom did some really good voiceovers too, for example, the tribute to Desert Orchid

yes ty george that's the one

i do remember him doing a voice over on something, have a feeling it was night nurse or similar

no its not numbnut, if you are using colloquial inglish, which you clearly were. you did not right 'televisons'

not worth 2 hours research, even of your time

I'm sure he did a few, elise, he had the dulcet tones for it, here's the Sir Henry Cecil tribute that he did

thanks will have a look

his tones were not dulcet. they were flat northern and a bit hoarse and raspy due to his smoking

no go and look up dulcet

Done a nice piece on the 2 young jockeys who died in that fire,
if I remember rightly.

This is what it's like to have a deranged stalker on the forum, he's prepared to take pedantry to Olympic grade level in order to get my attention.

Scrutinizing my every post, trying to find any angle which with he can antagonize me with as he craves a response from me.

I'm just going to pity and ignore the crazy f*cker.

the idea im storking a cretin like you is risible. you forget i ignore most of your drivel

and as ever, when made to look daft you resort to ad hominem attacks. why not admit you are wrong? it can be therapeutic

i dont like conspiracy loons or putin apologists. and you are both

And the other thing my crazy stalker does is make accusations about me in the absence of any evidence.

He is f*cking obsessed with me.

loooooool. go and watch some more richard d hall vids you mug

Barry had a stroke a few years ago and did attend Lingfield  as a spectator with his carer.
I have not seen him on course for about 2 years

Mr Willoughby.
Total ******

Thanks mrcombustible...wish him all the best.

I wanted to do similar for the 'current most annoying pundits', but I quickly got to 20, and still felt there were some notable omissions.

why do betfair block g e n i u s?

Peter O'Sullivan...surely you can't have forgotten him?!

Wonderful commentator and excellent tipster. Put up three horses per day in the Daily Express, which were invariably better selections on average than any of his contemporaries could manage.

Who was that guy who adored bumbers? he appeared regularly on Betfair radio and then he started working on Racing UK

David might have been his 1st name.

Cleary?

mitolo needs to take more water with it IMO. Absolute f*ck wit!

Yes David Cleary sounds about right and he was very good imo

you cant put water into serious vino

forgot about cleary. lugubrious. looked like a child of clement freud

probably binned because he wasnt groovy enough

ITV in need of a complete overhaul apart from Cumani…..

Mr Ed not a racing person….

Chapman well passed his date..

Harvey and Weaver pinky & perky…..giggling and squawking….

Bell end should tone down the kiddy stuff…..

Looks like sky for royal Ascot
