So is Damo Dempsey. And he’s another of my idols.

There is nothing finer than Kimmage unleashing HELL

@PaulKimmage: @richardmoore73 Run along now, sonny, and shove your tongue back up Sir Dave’s backside.

Paul Kimmage knows the score.

He was quick enough to appear on every station going after the LA admission.

3/4:From emails and chats with Irish people at Corner 10, I realise worst offenders were group of French fans who could be classed as thugs.

2/4: It was based on multiple conversations with members of Sky team, especially staff members, who also said Dutch corner was the worst.

1/4: Re Irish Corner - What I wrote in Sunday Times: “The abuse was worst at those parts of the climb populated by Irish and Dutch fans.”

That’s a half-hearted apology. The Irish fans weren’t only offended by the accusations that they were abusing Froome, but by Walsh writing that they sought out the Sky doctor the next day to apologise. Walsh made the mistake of attributing that apology to a particular group of lads (Lakeside Wheelers I think it was) and they released a statement denying they made any apology. It took Walsh a long time to retract his story, and only after the others got a bit of publicity for calling him up on his fiction.

[FONT=Calibri]Walsh has morphed into an awful cunt of a man and is now the epitome of everything he seemingly abhorred only a few short years ago. Odd how ones moral compass can be thrown off course for the sake of a few schillings from Rupert Murdoch!![/FONT]

Walsh has gone over to the dark side.

[quote=“Thrawneen, post: 805894, member: 129”]I presume you’ve seen the list of positives from '98 released by the French authorities?

Stuart O’Grady is the one I’m most happy about. An absolute weazel of a man.[/quote]

Agree. An utter cunt. He took EPO just once though…

Walsh is too self righteous by far. I felt sorry for Lance for a finish.

Walsh is too self righteous by far. I felt sorry for Lance for a finish.

Gas he was able to win Roubaix and spend a week in the maillot jaune, among other things, later in his career, while completely clean, yet in 1997 he was wondering whether he had a place in the peloton at all as he couldn’t keep up. :smiley:

He was young, he needed the money.

Nico 5th in San Sebastian today.

He was in a break of 5 chasing 1 and they couldn’t close a 15 second gap & let it go out to over 40 seconds. Nico used to be a good sprinter but then bulked down in a bid to become a climber. I’m afraid he’s neither now.

Walsh followed up over this weekend saying Richie Porte said abusers were “Irish”

Richie Porte is a cunt who deserves to be abused. Fair play to any Irish fan who gave that little cunt lackery.

He said it wasn’t abuse about drugs so it was probably just abuse about being a cunt. So fair enough then
