Can someone not take this talentless-jockey/trainer groupie-trolley dolly off the screens?

She simpers to the camera as she has nothing whatsoever to contribute and when she's interviewing other people (for example the admittedly rather boring Matt Doyle just now) she spends her time holding the microphone with a fixed "I'm damn bored" expression on her face interspersed with the odd sigh and gratuitous long gaze into the camera.

She's horrendous - get her off the screens! She knows nothing and isn't even decent to look at (see, I think of you lot sometimes!!!! :laughing:)!

Ridiculous comments also from the pair of them today (MD & AH) before the novice chase that "it's not all a weights and measures game, it's all about improvement and I think Pauillac has the improvement where the favourite doesn't"....erm, they're both 4 years old, one of them is a typical small Pipe whippet and the other is a large, rangy filly who will be even more of a beast than she is already in time as she fills out. Tell me what the hell you are talking about - or hang on, are you simply regurgitating the shite that is written in the Racing Post again as you either don't have the brains or the inclination to take a look yourself and hold an opinion??
 
Well, at least she isn't Zoey Bird. I'll give her that.

I also dispute that she isn't decent to look at. I think she looks lovely.

I think she has enough talent to make a tv presenter and her work on Sky Sports News is OK but I agree that her racing punditry is inane and lightweight.
 
Precisely tdk - she gets away with presenting HOYS as they dumb down the presenting so much that it's of the ilk "and this bit of leather is called a saddle" so she can't not know what she's talking about! Either that or the people watching it don't know the difference between whether she knows what she's talking about or not.

You guys have lower standards than I'd thought if you'd go there too! :P

(just think of what's been there before you for starters!!!! :laughing:)

It was the ridiculous bored glazed expression with the sighs and camera simpering that nearly made me throw something at the TV earlier! As you can possibly tell, it's been a while since I sat down and watched anything on ATR bar the odd race, not impressed!
 
I think we should start a campaign to get SL to take over the presentation,one thing it wouldn't be is boring!!

Not sure who the co presenter should be,but they'd have to have thick skin!
 
You see the mistake you made there SL? You moved from "she doesn't know what's she's talking about (mild approval from gentlemen members) to "she isn't even decent look at" (total outrage from gentlemen's members). Please don't do this again.
 
Apologies Rory.

See - I'd make a useless dyke, I'm just far too fussy!!! Wouldn't touch her with a bargepole....:P
 
Her opinions on the scope of Novice Chasers are, admittedly, less accurate than yours. However, as she makes them known before the race has been run they could be considered more useful for betting purposes.

As for her looks - why not post up a piccy of you and her, start a poll and let the public judge.
 
in all seriousness, do we take notice of any presenter before a race? i certainly dont. they all just waffle on to fill the time slot spouting bollocks.
 
There you go RHIG, maybe you should bother reading other threads then before coming out with sarcastic remarks - over the years I have put up several novice chase winners, pre-race. Oh, including today.

Try again.

ATR Ireland are very lucky to have Gary O'Brien, and I would certainly give him the time of day. Well worth listening to IMO.

OK, apologies I missed you unearthing a couple of short priced jollies - one winner the other unplaced.

I've changed my mind - you're obviously not a woman inspired by jealousy, you're Claude Duval and you're p1ssed off she got your gig today. :laughing:
 
Neither of which were favourites when I put them up - and the winner I'd drawn attention to over a week ago.

Woeful fishing expedition.

apologies, i was only talking about the commentators over here. yes i must admit, when im watchign a race i do listen to what hes saying. the rest go in one ear & out the other.
 
I fell in love with her back in her SIS days in the late 80s and I've not changed my opinion. She's like fine wine - gets better with age.
 
Consider Friday's invitation withdrawn - don't want to be seen socialising in public with people with such dubious taste!!! :P
 
Shock as internet forum female lashes female who spends time in public eye and is fancied by many men and unleashes usual retort that 'she isn't that good looking anyway'

Come on Shadow, you're better than that....

As an aside...and maybe this is a General Chit Chat Topic...

You should know by now that women are not to be taken seriously when it comes to the rating of attractiveness of other women. Consider the amount of lying females who tell their friends how gorgeous they look dressed up for a night out when they are clearly suffering from muttondressedaslambitis...it seems relevant to bring up in this Christmas Party season.
