Bandage:

I can’t really recall as sometimes you don’t know you’re blocked as you may not be following these clowns. A tweet of theirs comes on your timeline and you respond to it. Then days/weeks/months/years later you see you’re blocked.

I think with Hunter I referenced how he pretends he’s got a personal relationship with all these superstar players (“last time I was chatting to Leo Messi…”) when he’s just one of 100 journalists in a mixed zone after a match chirping across at the players as they walk past and seeing if one of them will give him a line.

I think McDowell’s the only golfer who’s blocked me. I think he was caught up in Lowry gate. I may have said his displays have deteriorated since he got nearly as fat as Lowry.

Daithi Regan said Davy Fitzgerald ran onto the pitch and attacked a player (Jason Forde). I said he walked onto the pitch and didn’t attack anyone.

“When I sat down for coffee with Dani Alves a couple of months ago…”

=

“I bought a coffee in the club canteen ahead of the standard player press conference to preview that weekend’s match. I took my place in the auditorium with a load of other journalists with my coffee at my feet, as Dani Alves sat at the top of the room and offered banal sound bites in response to questions.”

His need to pretend he’s friends with the great players is amusing.

Is there any possibility that he does actually know some of the players? Just wondering like…

I’d say he knows some players. He has a podcast where does one-to-one interviews.

Guillem Balague is even worse than Hunter. He does some of the co commentary on Eleven Sports and I’ve had to mute it on a few occasions
