Roy Curtis....how does he get away with it?

**Billsthoughts** · 21/11/2006, 11:37 AM

was he not the dreamboat you imagined?

**Jerry The Saint** · 21/11/2006, 1:14 PM

Played a stormer again at half-time in the rugby on Sunday - "Let's hear it for Ireland's BEST supporter!" (some bored-looking kid who'd rather be in out of the rain than at the game), "Let's hear it for 02, Ireland's BEST sponsor!", etc. I don't think there's a court in the world that would convict the sniper that took out that PA announcer.

Much better to get the remarkably posh-sounding guy who announces the subs and scorers for the rugby. Multi-lingual too!

Replacement pour Stade Francais, numero vingt-et-un replaces numero dix...

Wonder how his Slovakian is?

An incredible ****. Fanning "supports" liverpool so right there is a clue of his knowlege of the game. Muppets like him hope the national team loses so he can slag off the players and managers. And he calls himself Irish?

As someone else says dont buy the tabloids.

KOH

Fanning is a dick in my opinion.

Lots of people here support Liverpool it doesnt mean anything.
Think he is a good writer (altho not remoteley funny in his that was the week that was column)but whenever I read him criticising an Irish Manager I cant help thinking its a bit rich coming from someone who is only in a job cause of who is dad is...

I'm not ashamed to say I read them...I play football on Sunday, go for a few pints and then read as many papers as possible!

The fact that Curtis writes for a tabloid is in my opinion irrelevant in this instance. Martin Samuel writes a decent column in News of World(although he does seem to go against the grain a lot just to be different), its just that Curtis is so up his own ****. I dont mind spending the 2europes or whatever it is just to read dr angela, but as i ve paid it i may as well read what that clown as to say

On Fanning, I think he actually writes decent articles, and in fairness you cant blame him for picking on Staunton, he is paid to write his opinions....

That was the most stupid sending off I've ever seen. A (perfectly fair) sliding tackle that brought him down, no one claimed a peno - not the players, not the United fans behind that goal. Everyone just got on with it. It was never a dive, just ellery being a knob.

It was just my late mother's writings that I had published:

Vanity publishing they call it. Not quite in the Roy Keane Biography league of best sellers

Macy, i think you are thinking of a different incident. Cause that was one of the most blatant dives I have ever seen.

Video evidence accusing Roy Keane of faking? That's the worst thing YouTube can do in football.

YouTube, you're a liar! I didn't rate you as a website, and I don't rate you as a google-owned video-sharing facility. The only reason I have any dealings with you is that somehow you are a very popular site for looking up funny videos! You can stick it up your bol**cks!

There was absolutely no contact at all until after he started going down. He either dived or fell. He didnt fall.

**Mento** · 24/11/2006, 6:48 PM

**Den Perry** · 26/11/2006, 9:20 PM

Jesus Curtis is scandalous in the paper today...."if utd lose,there is a better chance of a Jehovah Witness giving blood than Farry Neville wrapping his hands around the premiership trophy..." followed shortly be "fergie will have all the momentum of a car stuck in gridlock between Sandyford and bray"

"as much fun as an afternnon in stormont..."

He is the worst journalist I have ever come across. I actually agree with some of the points he makes...the problem is he states nothin g new and his style of writing is scandalous.

Curtis, if you are on this site, EXPLAIN YOURSELF
