Personally if i had been on that flight I would have welcomed a swift bullet to the head (on United airlines it might have happened)… top jockey or not :angry:

I think murder would have been a bit of an extreme response clivex and Im not in favour of any action that likes to shoot first, ask questions later.
However, I think he got off far to lightly
SHL
I know..
We have seen that with the Met bungling over here…
I suppose a wider point is that maybe many in the horse racing world live in such a cloistered lifestyle that their awareness of the real world is perhaps not quite whqat it should be…
I actually work with Paul and Nina Carberry’s cousin, but he doesnt gamble and "doesnt really talk to them", so cant get me any tips. Obviously insanity must run in the family, if my cousin was a jockey, i’d have his phone tapped at the first family get-together, set up to record any conversation with the keywords "win" or "romp"…lol<br>
Luke,
On the previous thread about this case, certain people got hysterical, and started almost comparing Carberry to a terrorist. The events of 7th July were also brought up.
Somehow. People wanted to say "You don’t know what it’s like if you were living in London, afftected by terrorism".
Typical, not at all over-the-top reaction ;)
You would have to be a complete moron or have absolutely no idea what is going on in the world not to be aware that setting things alight on airplanes is clearly going to be far more of an issue in these times than previously
Of course its got everything to do with 7/7 and 9/11
Inceridble that the question is being asked
By your logic someone having a cigarette in the toilet is practically a combatant in the war on terror.
Ha. I remember the "You don’t know what it’s like in London" attitude which rambled through the last thread.
Having to listen to people who deemed taking the tube to be unsafe, and how every muslim is a potential terrorist…blah blah.
I think people need to relax. Michael Ryan knows:biggrin:
Gets worse on here
Anyone who lives and works in london will know full well that
1. The Tube isnt unsafe
2. The vast majority of Muslims arent terrorists
Stands to reason..as we say
<br>
We do live in a climate of fear at present, I dont live near london and grew up in Northern Ireland so it doesnt really bother me. But in times where you are no longer allowed to take bottles of water onto a plane, and Diana ross was arrested for fighting with a stewardess not so long ago, in the clear light of day, setting a newspaper alight on a plane (that was what he done if i remember correctly) is not the cleverest thing to do really.
Hes lucky that the judge has had a bit of sense and not made an example of him really, lets face it…
Paul was released from hospital this morning and is travelling home by ferry after suffering a punctured lung and a tear to his liver after his fall in the Jewson on Thursday.
Hopefully the great horseman will be back in time for the National.
I would think that’s extremely unlikely IC- that’s a serious injury. Let’s hope he’s OK.
Very funny story in today’s Post, not wanting to belittle what happened to him, about Ted Walsh jnr on hearing Carberry’s liver had been damaged saying " Don’t give him a new one, he’ll go mental all over again!"There was a feature interview with Carberry in the RP recently but it wasn’t half as good as Vincent Hogan’s interview with him in the Irish Indo. For the benefit of anyone who didn’t read it:
I’ve always rated Paul very highly even after Harchibald cost me a five figure sum (the only loser in a yankee) at Cheltenham after I’d come off Hardy Eustace even though he’d landed a 33-1 gamble for me the previous year.
I agreed with Deromt Weld’s view of the ride "The jockey should be gelded, his sister would havbe won by 2 lengths"
Nevertheless I kept faith despite the odd short head second but my patience has just about run out with his photo finish antics, his recent ride on Muirhead recently was one to many showboat rides for me.I agree 100% with the post below I found in another thread
