Winning Ways

Laff is a very nice guy ,but I do think his stand up routine is not very good as he thought he was auditioning for a stint on comedy central on sat 4/5 2013

There seems to be an 'expectation' that only people that have 'something worthwhile to contribute' and 'know the game' should be allowed to air their views on this site - now imo that is utter hogwash; free speech dictates that anyone who has an opinion on any subject (barring religion perhaps) should feel free to post that opinion - whether that opinion sits well with the 'establishment' or not. Who decides on what can be classified as 'a worthwhile contribution' - it seems that any statement that does not agree with the presenters' thinking, in their view automatically falls into the 'idiot' category, but in my view as long as a poster can motivate his statements and converse in an agreeable way, he/she should not be ridiculed as an 'idiot' or 'troublemaker'.

Exactly Frodo

It,s a great show I can't wait to see it every week well done James and laff keep it up don't worry about people who mean nothing in racing it,a great game we need people like you to give us feed back

Most posters are either punters, owners or both..... how can they mean nothing in this game?

Maybe there should be a sight for the trainers, jockey's, assistants, GC & PG.... they will never disagree because they know what is going on in the game......

I may not agree with some of the opinions on the site but how else will there be interaction about this industry that has so many stakeholders???

I enjoy the show however the comment was not balanced regarding this site last night. I for one was pro Paul in the thread and thought that it was a balanced discussion but little was mentioned about that. The automatic view that people are idiots because they do not agree or hold the same opinion as some in the know is rediculous.

Know the rules, T's & C's and the arithmetic of any incident before you start slagging.

How can anybody not mean anything to the game Gavin? Very poor comment
Who in your opinion is somebody that means nothing to the game? Punter, groom, staff at the betting shop?

With all due respect, that's a ridiculous statement - exactly who are the people that 'mean nothing in racing' ?

All you people ever do is complain when people try their best for this game James and Paul,s show is great I have never faulted them so those people who do are the ones I'm talking about
