Reasons, please.
I seem to recall him being anti Irish on some occasion. Or at least condescending.
I don’t recall that and he made a lovely comment at the end of his interview earlier about how much he loves Ireland and its people. One of my favourite Peter Alliss moments was during the play-off at the US Masters in 2013 when he went off in a tangent talking about the great Charlie Tully of Celtic. A maestro (both Alliss and Tully).
Received an email from a chap today with the following sign off-what do you get with a room full of Irish men? A full set of teeth.
I barely know the guy and the rest of the email ( business related) was pretty aggressive and confrontational. The guy is German-ideas for a response are welcome. I’m thinking something along the lines of some sort of holocaust related die roaring you nazi cunt theme.
Simon Holt is different class.

You must be seething pal… you could forward to HR and make a complete cunt of him or alternatively call to his place of work and hop his square head off the desk a few times.

Did you hear about the award winning German waiter? He was great at following orders.
Jonathan Pearce on Channel 5 back in the day used to be brilliant. He’d come out with these funny tangle twisters. He’s not the same since he moved to the BBC, much more sanitised, much less fun. Still a good commentator but not anywhere near as funny.
Whatever Birtles, this thread has taken an unexpected but welcome diversion from boring commentators.
@Horsebox please tell us more?

Act dumb and pretend you don’t realise its a joke and ask him to tease out the Irish comment as you don’t understand it in the context of the rest of his email.

Seems I misquoted him slightly, buddy. Here are some extracts from his email.
"I have security issues here because of this guy and you are playing the delay game with contract issues, wire transfers, no valuable ticket and you think I put up with this."
"I have tried to reach you by phone it is impossible you must have blocked my number, because I can phone to France, Germany , USA and any other place."
[SIZE=3]“I think I have a good case here for breach of contract don’t you think so.”[/SIZE]
“I will take care of business today you have the time frame get going, remember confirmation by mail from your bank.”
"Ed, told me you tried to reach me it is very difficult here one more reason to back me up and keep me happy.
The Irish have already the reputation of being a little slow.
What do you get when you put 30 Irish man in a room??? a full set of teeth."

You have no option but to come over the top on this cunt. Keep it professional though. In my experience Germans are very quick to turn it personal. String the cunt along for a while and it’ll wind him up good a proper
He put the comma in the wrong place there, Macadillio.

Sounds like @Horsebox is running some sort of Nigerian Prince scam 
Paul Dempsey is an excellent sports anchor.
