RTE sportsperson of the year

Harrington robbed, any half decent jockey would have won on De Bromheads doped horses.

Punching a human is better than flaking a horse according to the humanitarian element here. Its a tonne of flesh lads, don’t be worrying about it.

You make your own luck but Rachael is blessed that the nominations were announced before Gordon’s history making, record breaking 7 timer at Navan

Horse racing isn’t a sport tho. It’s animal training, no different to crufts or pigeon racing

Try sitting up on a galloping horse for 5 minutes and talk to me after

Balls like Bengali tigers

I wouldn’t be that cruel.

Punching another human in the head isn’t cruel? Horse and human have a bond pal.

I’m not a boxing fan.

Sports are hard mate. All of them.

I’ll never regard horse racing as a sport pal.

And thats ok. Because what you regard as a sport doesn’t really matter. Hence the award.

RTE and the Irish state are commercially tied up in horsey horse ffs. If you’re falling back on rte for vindication you’re beaten already.

As they are with all professional sports. Its business.

Disappointed to see a Tipp man like @Thomas_Brady turning on his own here

It’s an extension of the Galway tent… Golden circles, corruption, horse beatings, back handers… A dirty rotten circle jerk and the poor horses being beat around a field and the jockeys getting ‘awards’

The horse was from Tipp?

If a jockey falls off the horse still runs mate. They’re doing what they’re bred to do.

Rub the burger meat off your chin there while you give out about animal cruelty

they get whipped when they dont run so they run with or without a jockey
