Woeful Journalism

Just cut out the €10 Aldi voucher - nobody makes you read the paper beyond that

Edit - I might look at that article now to see what you mean

Edited again - mentioned rugby four paragraphs in so I stopped there.

In other news Ger Brennan is taking summer off from football due to Achilles injury.

Fire on the pm you sent to Bandage about your role with Cork.

“Source close to the camp”, it’s an unpaid role but every county needs one

Absolutely dreadful article.

Its Brendan O’Connor when has that cunt every done anything worth talking about.

Keith Duggan had a piece in yesterday’s Irish Time on Steve Rider, Gary Lineker and tv coverage of golf. The most pointless and one of the worst piece’s of sports journalism I’ve seen in a long time.

3 articles alone in the Sindo today regarding James McCleans little indiscression. Granted, discuss it but 3 fucking articles???

  1. It wasn’t an indiscretion.

  2. No surprise to see Fanning leading the charge.

Sample paragraphs from Dion:

Equally some of us may find anyone who expresses devotion to any flag strange but maybe only a minority agree with Schopenhauer that “every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud, adopts as a last resource pride in the nation to which he belongs”.

That is Dion being very Dion. A quote to back up his point, and crowbar it in even if it’s irrelevant and then put a very clunky sentence together to try and tie it back to the piece.

Instead Ireland demonstrated a great understanding for one of her own and let people in Britain challenge the knee-jerk response from some in the UK while reserving the right to jerk our own knees when the mood takes us.

That’s just nonsensical drivel.

The journal are running some sex series this week because they are so cool and trendy.

In addition to being made up, this one has a few genuinely laugh out loud moments.

I won’t spoil it for you but there are some fantastic quotes.

She went to visit a relation tonight so I masturbated to the idea of having a cock in each of the three areas she could take them

That’s probably my favourite. Quite the wordsmith we have on our hands.

Clearly some horny young lad, whose only idea of sex is porn

“I asked her to grind back and forth on my face as hard as she could but she was wary about whether it would hurt me so she was gentle.

If that article isn’t made up btw then this lad needs to be put on some sort of watch list.

I waited for her to get in for her shower and watched a sex scene without masturbating. I find that it keeps me mentally aroused for the day when I watch a scene without masturbating.

That’s hilarious… ive sworn off all these click bait merchants…joe.ie, the journal , the 42, they can fuck off.

Aha that’s just excellent :smile:

Fire up the one on the Dublin BDSM scene there as well for the crack

It’s got all the hallmarks of a @Thrawneen or a @Tassotti.

Except for the marriage bit obviously.

Is this Thrawneens new job?

Would Thraw not be slightly more top shelf though?

Comedian Andy Quirke has revealed that his girlfriend was drugged at a bar in the popular Spanish resort of Puerto Banus.

The RTÉ funnyman was with Grace Power, from Clonmel, Co. Tipperary, in Marbella on Thursday night when an opiate drug was slipped into her drink.

Ms Power, a social worker, collapsed outside the bar and Quirke, 27, has taken to Facebook to warn people.
‘I just want to pass on a warning to all my friends that maybe in and around Puerto Banus Marbella,’ he wrote.

‘Last night whilst out with friends my girlfriend was drugged with a opiate-based drug.

‘I believe that the two guys behind us dropped this drug into Grace’s drink. 30 mins later when we left, Grace collapsed outside the bar and we struggled to find any authorities to come to our help.

‘I managed to get Grace to hospital where they confirmed the symptoms and effects of this type particular drug and that its traces were in her blood and urine samples.

‘The hospital also confirmed 12 other incidents of same attack this week in Banus. They are after gold watches (my friend was wearing one) and after drugging they have victims’ pin codes for ATMs.’

Quirke found fame when his popular show Damo And Ivor became a hit with viewers on RTÉ.
