Goal of the Month

**razor** · 14/01/2003, 7:29 AM

What a farce ?

That Noel King is some ******.

3 out of the 6 are City goals and they are by far the best 3.

Trevor showed some severe restraint, I thought he was going to go for him. Trev then says
"What do we have to do to get a Cork winner ?"

King doesn't appear to go to any of the games and makes ridiculous comments on 2 minutes of highlights.

He's some ******!!!

**NorthoftheLee** · 14/01/2003, 8:10 AM

Have to agree totally there razor. What a complete dick! When trev asked him about a winner from cork, he says that he couldnt do that. What a complete Jackeen ****** that man is. I thought it was Rico who was judging it. How in hell did the derry goal win it.???????

email sports@tv3.ie then and let them know your feelings on it

**Xlex** · 14/01/2003, 9:31 AM

No don't cos' thatrs exactly what Noel King said would happen... Email them and congratulate them on their decision... also state that if the program is to progress they need to get rid of king...

I'd get rid of him before i'd take an earlier timeslot....

Due to the wonderful service Chorus provide (the assh*les), I was unable to see Eircom weekly last night.
I am feeling bad enough over last night's result and now I learn that the jumped-up little poxbottle king decided that the 4th best goal should in actual fact be the goal of the month????
What a f*ckup..........

I thought it was only my TV fooked up.

Cant belive that though. Okay Huttons goal was ok, but surely the only reason it got goal of the month is because it was so fast happening.

In fact of the six it was probably the least impressive.

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.

beautifully put oddboy.

**razor** · 14/01/2003, 11:03 AM

And where does he get those ties ?

He must be wearing them for a bet !

**pete** · 14/01/2003, 3:00 PM

Rico is much better than the always pessimistic Noel King. Even if Rico is saying the same thing as King he says it in a more entertaining & optimistic manner.

I thought for a few seconds Noel King was goiong to go mfor the Shel$ goal. Huttons goal was ok but Coyles skills would have been unusual except that was in first few seconds of the game.

I would have Huttons goal maybe 4th or 5th.

**yan** · 14/01/2003, 3:09 PM

all city's goals in it were all better,

huttons finish was lucky as o dowd turned his back on it-pity he didnt do that the other nite

**Éanna** · 14/01/2003, 5:35 PM

great mail oddboy

have hardly seen the programme so can´t really comment.

**Counting Crow** · 14/01/2003, 7:53 PM

Oddboy, that has to be the post of the year.
I can just see Trevor having a good snigger at it when he read it.

I also know how we can ensure Little Queenie will never darken our living rooms again.......we could bribe Trevor to hide all the cushions in the studio ( which the little ru*t has to sit on ) before the program begins.
He wouldn't be able to see over the top of the desk then, so the director is bound to run the show with just Trevor at the helm.......now there's a thought. We'd see impartiality then!!!!!!

What a f*ckup..........

Christ, I wouldn't even have put it in 4th place. It WAS a nice team goal, but, nothing that should even be threatening to win goal of the month. IMO, CCFC, and especially Hoggie were f***in robbed!
What a biased jackeen coke snorting b****x!!!!!

Murphy Out Now!!!
