Jimmy fortune

I really hope this isint true,I haven't read anything about this anywhere.

Absolutely dreadful news....hard to know what to say tbh.

As far as I am aware this is true.....and I agree the lack of coverage its getting is simply disgraceful.....if it was some criminal jockey complaining about a riding ban.....we'd be hearing about it for weeks......or one of them little rodents losing their job.....they'd be regurgitating it for ages......then when one of them loses his wife......not a peep about it......

Why call them rodents?

I didnt think you could get your jockey hatred views on such a sad thread.

I don't dislike every jockey wilddan......but there are plenty particularly on the flat who I cannot abide.....Fortune isn't one of them by the way......
I quite like Hughes Buick Doyle Oisin Murphy and a few others......ones with a bit of class that's easily identifiable.....but not the slumdogs like Fallon and many many others who are portrayed as the heroes of the turf.....jesus almighty people have short memories......

Paulie, Jockeys are just a reflection on society, there is good and bad in all walks of life. I think your  bitter attitude to the vast majority of things is just a reflection of yourself. And is a bit much at times.

You seem to judge them on their ability to entertain you at dinner parties.

I don't know them personally but judge them on their courage,lament the fact they are blackguarded by trainers owners and punters,treated worse again by the authorities.

People in racing tend to fawn all over them when they are flying,trying to glean some snippet of information but drop them like sones when things start to slide.

No dinner party invitations from Paulie to the ones that outlive their usefulness.

A man loses his wife and Paulie labels him a 'rodent'......a fair reflection of himself tbf.

JR......I feel sorry for Fortune.....if you could read what I said about him and comprehend it correctly.....you might have seen where he was one of the ones who I found inoffensive......
There are plenty of jockeys who do things day in day out that they shouldn't be doing......plenty of ones who should have been warned off who aren't.....not alone are they not warned off....they are being lauded by idiots like yourself JR......and when some of these toerags are found innocent even though everybody knows otherwise.....ya will have clowns coming on saying that its the authorities fault.....and that the jockeys and trainers were innocent.....

I realise that you are a bitter man Paulie...but do you think this is a thread for such bile.

Get a collection up and going Wildman.I think Eddie O,Connell is going to be needing a few quid.
