Prattling on non stop , meanwhile the horses are in the paddock going totally unobserved ….
Its getting close between Chapman and him for me ….cant they both take the black (game of thrones ) and get to the wall …..leave us to enjoy racing without the classroom approach ….
get him offffffffff
Luck and Willoughby …..what can you expect really ……meanwhile the other poor bloke just stands in amusement …..
imo
You just need to add Oily Bell to make it four of the most annoying people on RUK: him, Luck, Willoughby and Chris Dixon.
Please Racing Uk , show us the horses , you did us all proud at Ascot . you do every time Hislop/ Mellish come on ….but tonight was a disgrace , there by the paddock , not a mention of the horses ….precis of the race left to last moment …just shocking
Meanwhile we are all treated to the split screen classroom ….its fugging boring mister , its meaningless , and er I dont think The trainer or jockey will take your opinions seriously for a nano second so why the heck should we ….paying 23 sovs a month for the endurance of this nonsense
Get these wasters offfffff
please

I like willoughby, and im not a sectionals person. He makes the effort to add another dimension to the debate. He was also useful with angus as a duo. I think british racing in general has good racing personalities/pundits. Theyre all just flutter merchants with an opinion like the rest of us.
People who don’t understand sectional times and their importance – won’t like it when pundits talk about sectional times.
Value Is EverythingI want to know what Drone wrote. He doesn’t normally start drinking that early
Maybe watching RUK drove him to drink?

you are broadcasting right beside the parade ring in newbury …do you
1 show the horses and chat about them
2 totally ignore them and rave on about ascot performances the previous week …for the entire show !!!
Its a long way to Newbury , its even longer when you have to listen to drivel supported by split screens
The whole point of broadcasting is to show and discuss the horses , unless you are acting on the sponsors instructions and do everything
not to assist the viewers / punters
A foul state of affairs

Dare say they were trying to "assist the viewers" by analysing Royal Ascot at a time when the races were still clear in the analyst/viewer’s mind. For sure it must be frustrating for those few punters interested in Newbury; but it does seem sometimes as though you just want to jump at any chance of (yet again) criticising Willow & all.
Value Is EverythingI think Mr Willoughby is an intelligent and witty broadcaster, but I feel he is doing himself few favours with what appears to be a sectional timing obsession (he hardly talks about any other subject nowadays).
No matter how many times he and his ilk bang the drum, sectional timing remains an esoteric minority interest within racing. This may change and the future may bring advances in it’s use and application to form study.
However, until such a day arrives I would agree that Mr Willoughby could use his – and RUK’s subscribers’ – time in a more inclusive manner.

I recall James Willoughby making a grovelling apology on TV regarding a comment he had made regarding the, then, recently deceased Bob Monkhouse.
Does anyone recall what he said that offended viewers enough to complain?
I am sure I wouldn’t have been offended, as Bob made a living himself out of the same sort of thing himself.
Sectionals are God to some people, as we can see on other threads here
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
Nope, it’s reading Ricky Lake that drove me to drink
I’m sure that most of us can empathise with you there.
Who is the new woman on RUK tonight? Seems a bit out of her depth to me – as nervous as hell.
Dont know who she is ,,,but we had loads more Ascot regurgitation
crikey , talk about overkill
