Nothing against the guy but the role he has with RTE does not require an outstanding broadcaster surely there must be an Irish Guy who could fufil the role instead of him flying in when RTE screen racing

I think Eye Mall Inn is a supersub for the "Main Man"

His Uncle runs the company that has the contract to supply RTE with the program.

By:
very inept.

The guy on ATR today, Kevin Blake is an excellent pundit,he would be an excellent choice.
Kevin O'Ryan is another with limited ability. |

i think keen leader would be the man for the job myself
|

By:
i think k.l is already on rte myself......
|

By:
Richters .Can you elaborate a little on that please ? intrigued .

i was thinking down the exact same lines as you richters,but then i came to my senses Brian actually knows nothing about racing only what he is told from his friends some of whom are good judges and the rest are just well connected,i have met the man on numerous monday mornings although he wouldn't remember me as he is a very ignorant man.

He thinks Kl is Brian Gleeson but he is wrong(about 75 miles wrong).I also think it's out of order, to try to out KL, who is as least as entitled, as the rest of us, to his anonymity.He interpreted this because Gleeson tipped up the same horse as KL in the Boyle sport hurdle(Gleeson has horse with CM)and because both commented on the PUBLIC sale of Moyle park.

"Brian Knows nothing about racing"
I beg to differ he owns Binoculars dam,sold a placed cheltenham bumper horse for €310,000 and looks after horses such as Riverside theatre during the summer months,and more importantly he is a true gentleman. |

aww here we go again with the naive dj who advised snap crackle and pop that the nicholls walsh hotpot at taunton was a sound each way investment.......a total YAP.....
|
|
By:
always collects i find that hard to believe as i have always found him to be very knowledgable on the sport and thought he carries himself off well on the tv......never met the guy though......
|
|
By:
You obviously don't understand sarcasm Richters,it is pointless debating with you because you know nothing about racing unless you can google it.So come on then explain your logic in explaining KL "is already on rte"???

dj what you know about horse racing ye could write on the back of a postage stamp............im not getting into an argument with ye.....this is a forum and everyone is entitled to their views......
|
|
By:
Agree with dj,it doesn't matter who he is,his thoughts/opinions are very good and he posts them.
Thought Kevin Blake was very good on Atr as well The Gotchee ddn't from what i heard get results today but was thinking a bit outside the box in an refreshingly understated manner. |

By:
well if people think they should get an irish lad to do toms job by the same token they could get 2 irish fellas to do ted and roberts job.
ted said today that patrick mullins would be a bastard if he wasnt a good fella! how do you make that out? |
|
By:
He does carry himself off very well on TV,but aside from the camera unless you have money he doesn't want to know you and that is a fact dj876,you may very well have had a different experience with the man but that was mine,without going into too many details with you i was in the right place to see him on a lot of monday morning's when he came to see his GOOD FRIENDS in the IFSC,i rest my case

Tom Lee is doing a job that Brian Gleeson used to do and he isint a patch on Gleeson.
People may dislike Gleeson for personal reasons but you can't deny his knowledge and love of racing. |
|
By:
I seen him last year after racing in Lep, seemed like an approachable bloke, i think himself and Leon Blache are good mates. I know Johnny as he should be given the job asap.

I'm not so sure richters, seems if your views are not of the ass licking sycophantic type you're not entitled to air them on a public forum?. You know those kind of views where there is always a reasonable explanation or excuse?, nothing is ever underhanded in the rose garden of thorns?. |

By:
Two of your views lately silvergreaser were "Voler la Vedette and all that is wrong with Irish racing" and a scathing attack on the Byrnes horse Dazzling Dave who has since ran subsequently. Would you like to review your opinions now?
|
|
By:
No pa because we could write a whole book about Byrnes, a wonderful example of integrity, oh the sun shines right out of my behind?
|
|
By:
You might do but Dazzling Dave wouldn,t get a sentence in it.
Voler got retired because she lost her "sparkle" Have to be fair to people as well and not everything is a "knack" |
