[QUOTE=“Thrawneen, post: 1133719, member: 129”]Slightly worrying article in the Indo from PK.
He’d surely make more money and gain some enthusiasm by not writing for a paper that gives away his articles for free…[/QUOTE]
Where is he supposed to write? There haven’t been queues of people waiting to offer him jobs.

563

He seems to thrive on confrontation which isn’t exactly a prerequisite for harmonious relations with your employer.

564

Unless you work for TFK

565

How many lads does @Rocko have on the books now, excluding part-timers?

jesus that article is quite dark…

567

That’s what I thought. Is he having a go at himself? The shitty situation journalism as a profession is in? His editor?
He says his work is not valued. People raised $95k for his legal fees so he could work at nailing the UCI.
…

568

(forgetting for a moment that some cunt ran off with 65k of it)

The last paragraph where he says he gets told to expose two cheats is most interesting.

Is this any connection to his rugby investigation? Hopefully it is.

Are you sure. I thought he calls them X and Y to represent all cheats.

571

Its very cryptic but I reckon he’s on to something big here.

572

Just texted him. Sounds more like he’s pondering jacking it in. I texted back with as supportive a text as I could muster. Says we’ll do coffee soon.

573

Tell him please not to jack it in. He is a truly great voice.
I love his articles and have read all of his books.
If you were to ask him what happened with BOD, and send me a PM, I would be ecstatic.

I’ll make a note flatty. He’ll tell the truth on ANYTHING once it’s off record. He’s great!

On a serious note he’s a hero of mine and vital for anti doping journalism. I’d ask anyone here who’s interested in his work to send him a message of support. He sounded really down in the mouth.
If that sounds fanboyish, so be it. I believe he’s vital to sport and journalism.

575

How would you send a message. Could you PM me his email?

576

good riddance to kimmage

a tout

577

Ps, whilst I really admire his anti doping, he has jumped that shark. His work just gets better and better.

578

He’d kill me if he found out. Send him a tweet. Or comment on his indo article.

579

Wouldn’t know where to start with twitter, and I wouldn’t fawn over him on the indo comments page. I’ll see can I raise an indo email address for him.

580

They won’t give it to you. You give them the message and they’ll pass it on. Declan Whooley sorted me out.

581

Will do. Thanks.
