Woeful Journalism

http://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/una-mullally-it-s-hard-to-accept-yourself-when-your-country-doesn-t-1.2189642

it could have been a really poignant article about the cancer and about her hopes for the referendum passing.[/QUOTE]

A bit harsh there Art. Una generally writes brutal articles but you’d give her a pass on this one considering the circumstances. Best of luck to her.

it’s not harsh at all, it could have been a really hard-hitting personal article about how she’s afraid of dying without being able to marry her partner, she pointed out the differences between civil partnership and marriage drawing particular attention to stories where partners have been locked out of treatment decisions for their loved one by families who didnt approve of their relationship, but instead she went for the ridiculous banner line and stupid quotes about the no side.

it’s a missed opportunity to put a human slant on the differences between civil partnership and marriage

I’m sorry for her troubles but she’s still a fucking headmelter.

God I fucking despise Hunter

It’s hilarious how he mentions in every piece he writes (and always says when he’s on radio or TV) that he’s friendly with these players and managers. Think he feels it gives him greater credibility and will make the reader/viewer more impressed by him. “I was having a coffee with Pique and he said to me…” type stuff.

Met him briefly at one of those Off The Ball Roadshows, he is an actual Gimp.

Jesus that’s a horrendous article.

Wow… Never read any of his stuff before. He could have given 10 euro to a lad in Mumbai to put something together that would have read better than that.

Cunt.

Some of his carry-on on radio is actually funny its that bad.

That is appalling. His albeit sentences are particularly grating.

Who is the biggest Gimp?

Hunter, Lowe or Tim Vickery?

agreed
He regularly expresses his undying love for his friend of many years Iniesta also

Hunter i would say

i’d say he’s met Iniesta as often as I have.

Where have you met him, mate?

Donkey Fords. Years ago.

He is some cunt. There’s a line in that that defines the type of cunt he is, always trying to put himself in the story. He makes it sound like it was to be just him and Messi:

TO A greater or lesser extent we were all waiting for Messi.

All 96,000 of us.

Bayern were waiting to see if he was truly subdued.

The Barça fans were waiting to see if he could be their saviour again.

By 10 to midnight, almost 90 minutes after the match ended, I was still waiting for him.

And that’s as far as I could get before I had to stop reading.

For a horrible moment I thought you were all referring to Hunter Davies who writes on footer for the New Statesman…
