    Colin-I am a long term critic of Tanya but when someone like you speaks out against her it says a lot.

    Is anyone else getting rather tired of the constant AustraliaMelbourneCup obsession from Ms Cumani? Every other sentence!

    We get it love, you worked for Australian TV. Now give it a rest, eh?

    Angus Macnae talking some unadulterated mince on The Verdict this evening.

    Shouldn't be allowed within a 100 yards of a Jumps race analysis. A complete slaver.

    The Morning Show is still a very poor offering. Far too much padding shite and not enough proper racing substance.

    The racing programme itself in the afternoon still isn't doing it for me either. The team come across as enthusiastic enough but lacking in a deeper understanding of the game. And I still can't take to Hoiles as a commentator. In races in which I don't have a bet, I have an incomplete picture of which horse is where in the race.

    Presumably in the 'Gibbering Bufoon' category, Roger?

    Grassy you’re too nice. The words ‘useless cnut’ would be more appropriate.

    Crap jockey, crap presenter.

    Irish TV won't quite be the same without Robert Hall fronting it.

    Good luck to him on his recovery

    Robert & Ted are a great double act-even if you don't have a bet on a race they can inform and entertain.

    That Ladbrokes ad with Chris Kamara laughing at Roger Loughran mistaking the post at Leop on Central House is doing my head in and is both crass and a poor image of how racing should be advertised.

    jockeys get it enough in the neck from ignorant punters without sh*t like this on the screen.

    Am sure RL has got enough grief over the years and exercised the demons of this at this stage without it playing every 30 mins on telly.

    100% agree. I was there that day and some idiots disgraced themselves after the race with their vitriol. Guy hasn't had a break since and that ad is just tasteless and wrong.

    Sure there is an article somewhere out there An C in the quite season with a what's wrong with racing theme to it.

    that ad would be high up there for me

    I would imagine that was not only career defining but life defining for RL -the Ladbrokes ad is demeaning and is starting to bore me now.
