Re: Eircom Weekly
Hello,
I would just like to congratulate you all on yet another marvellous show
starring Mr. Noel King. This man is a national treasure and we should see more of him
on other TV3 programs. Maybe he could become part of the news team,
where he would so obviously complement the style of Grainne and the other
beautiful presenters.
His dress sense, diction, wit, humour and unsurpassed football knowledge
is a joy to behold and the pearls of wisdom he so readily imparts to us all
are to be welcomed with humility and gratitude.
But there is one quality which Mr. King possesses that shines brightly above
all his charms and that is his complete and utter impartiality. This is a man
with no hint of the petty foibles of mere mortals which cloud the decision making process. This is a man who may as well be from another planet, as he allows no geographical, associative or preferential bias interfere with his Solomon-like judgements. This is a man, dare one say it, who is perfectly suited to replace Kofi Annan at the UN and who can go on to bring peace to the whole world by his just and logical decisions.
And so I say thank you TV3 for allowing us all the incredible experience of having Mr. King in our homes. Thank you for your weekly Eircom program. Thank you for the goal of the month competition, which gave us all the pleasure of seeing a Mr. King masterclass in clear, precise decision making. And most of all thank you Mr. King for showing us in Cork the silliness of our petty biases, the mistaken belief that we know anything about soccer and goalscoring and showing us exactly what it is that makes you such an original and unique football pundit.
