[Closed] David Millars Hat

Question is, is it as good as Niall Quinn's Disco Pants?

Or Joss Ackland's spunky backpack?

Ha, watching this recorded. Gotta be a bet.

Looked like a member of Dexys

Le Dandy strikes again!

Russell Harty's slippers.

He looks like a beach donkey

He's got previous for hats...

LOL @ CFH Bodger & Badger

I thought it looked ace #wearmorehats

Wanna get ahead, get a hat!

Anything is an improvement on that abomination of a stripy top he wore earlier in the week.

He's really sensitive, verging on allergic to sunlight, isn't he?
Silly hat is still silly David.

To be fair he can pull off a hat.......just not on TV.

I did wonder, when I was watching the highlights earlier, if there would be a thread on here about it, STW comes through again! 😉

Much as I like David Millar, he does come across a little un self-aware at times, perhaps lacking awareness of irony, self-deprecation. Those sorts of things.

That hat says a lot.

It's so he can hide his drugs under it. ****ing hypocrite.

Get over it^ if you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem.

Wear whatever you like, life is short. People are so self aware and quick to judge.

Yeah, how dare he wear anything apart from a sack cloth and ashes !

But I agree, the hat looks stupid. I assume it is to cover some male pattern baldness issues ? (and that wasn't sexist btw, I checked with the lads at work)

Chapeau

I see what you did there *applause*

/doffs (hipster) cap

It's so he can hide his drugs under it. **** hypocrite.

It was 12 years ago, time to let it go..?

Dear Sir,
When I was a lad TV presenters wore tails and were only broadcast in black and white. Ba humbug!!

I have 2 issues with his headwear.

It was worn indoors.
It was tipped back a bit too far. (But tv doesn't like people with their eyes in shadow)

Not enough hat wearing so essentially it's a good thing, would rather see more hats like that than sporting activity caps with an emblem representing a sport you never play, a team you can't name any players of or a city in a foreign country you couldn't point to on a map.

It's so he can hide his drugs under it. **** hypocrite.

Can you explain why he's a hypocrite?

A wearer of silly hats, yes definitely, a hypocrite, how?

I feel that once you've been banned for using drugs you should not be allowed back into the sport.

Maybe the hat is punishment.

I feel that once you've been banned for using drugs you should not be allowed back into the sport.

Then there wouldn't be a sport anymore...

A pragmatic and realistic approach works better than burning people at the stake.

I feel that once you've been banned for using drugs you should not be allowed back into the sport.

So how do you propose this will work? Would an athlete who mistakenly took a minute amount of banned substance via an over the counter medicine face a lifetime ban under your system?

Just make them wear daft hats. Small hat for a Sinex related cock up, BFO sombrero for EPO.

I feel he needs more tartan in his hats

Is that for smack?

Or Joss Ackland's spunky backpack?

Or Shatner's bassoon?

So how does that make him a hypocrite?

Is David related to Frankie Detori?

To be fair the "hypocrite" bit is fully justified.. David Millar is a long term celebrity anti-hat campaigner, who's worked tirelessly against the use of casual headwear, then pulls a stunt like this on national tv..

He should ditch the hat for a mat

Not sure really....he made a mistake and that's fair enough, but should he be presenting on TV the biggest cycling event in the world with that history? For me its a NO. Must be plenty of others who didn't [s]get caught[/s] take drugs?

Millar or Liggett & Sherwen. Hmm.... a difficult decision in this sport of professional cycling.

(Actually just enjoying the change myself, nothing against L&S personally)

He has a pretty huge ego, that it very clear after reading his book. He never takes responsibility for his drug taking or tax avoidance. That said, he is bloody good at commentary, provides a lot more insight than the eurosport bollocks.

sounds like it should be a twitter account if it isn't already

I've always had a soft spot for millar as the last of the british riders who came through when cycling was niche pre wiggomania. I read his first book and warmed to him even more but the latest one 'the racer'(?) is about him grinding various axes about how his career wound down and he does come across as aoneone who needs a take a look at himself a good few times in it.

Liggett & Sherwen

Not being a roadie, I am surprisingly into le TDF and have been watching the race via ITV4 for years now. I can't recall exactly how long this has been going on for...maybe ten years or more now, but Phil L was there all along and I miss his commentary. 🙁

*Just checked and ITV4 took over coverage from C4 in 2002.*
