Special K Posted 19 August, 2012 Share Posted 19 August, 2012 In the Times today says he "..cannot see the point of Southampton as either a city or a club and their demise would give those poor blighters at Fratton Park something to laugh about for a while." Then says by his reckoning, Southampton were 9th best club in last years championship, calling us "lumberingly unconvincing" Always thought he was a class A ***t. Just confirmed again and with a shocking lack of football knowledge to boot. So why the Times give gobshytes like this column inches in the Sports section is beyond me? and i notice he hasn't put his email contact at the column end. Prize C***. Rant over (feel better now). Probably a bit of Pre Match Tension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaMarlin Posted 19 August, 2012 Share Posted 19 August, 2012 Ah Journalist. Marginally above Banker in the "How to destroy an atmosphere and get everyone at a Dinner Party to go Oh" and start looking for the number for a taxi home. Depends on the journalist. Get the right one and he'll keep you entertained with anecdotes and gossip all evening. Most people I know nearly always try to invite a journo if they're hosting a dinner party. As for Rod Liddle, as has already been mentioned, he's paid to make controversial comments. It's of little substance and really nothing to get bothered about.

scotty Posted 19 August, 2012 Share Posted 19 August, 2012 Rod Liddle made a monumental tw*t of himself years ago, when he ditched his mrs in favour of a younger model who he frankly looked ridiculous with. When he wrote an "oh, what a lad I am" type article for GQ, lamenting his liaison with said bird and begging his mrs to forgive all, his ex-wife wrote her own lengthy and detailed letter to GQ's letters page. And they printed it, verbatim. What a c*nt he looked. That was the verbal equivalent of a 30-stone rugby player's kick in the bo!!ocks. Liddle came out of it looking like the utter tw*t he is, and you couldn't blame his ex for sticking the boot in. Grade-A pillock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Saint Posted 19 August, 2012 Share Posted 19 August, 2012 Classy Bloke In January 2010, the Mail on Sunday and The Observer drew attention to allegedly racist and misogynist comments posted under the username "monkeymfc"—a name Liddle has used—on Millwall Online, a fan club web forum with no official connection to the Millwall Football Club. Liddle at first attributed some of the comments to opposition fans logging in under his name to embarrass him. He later admitted he had written some of the posts that were being criticized, including one in support of the BNP excluding Black and Asian people from the party.[23] Another post, in which he joked about not being able to smoke at Auschwitz, led to his being forced to explain what he meant in The Jewish Chronicle Liddle married his longtime partner, Rachel Royce, a television presenter, in January 2004 at a ceremony in Malaysia. They had been living in Heytesbury, Wiltshire, and had two sons together, Tyler and Wilder.[46] Six months later, Liddle moved in with Alicia Monckton, a 22-year-old receptionist at The Spectator. It transpired that he had cut his honeymoon with Royce short so that he could be with Monckton. Following their divorce, Liddle and Royce exchanged attacks in the media. Liddle called her a "total slut and slattern", and Royce wrote an article in the Daily Mail titled "My cheating husband Rod, 10 bags of manure and me the bunny boiler. As for The Slapper... she's welcome to him".[47] As of 2011 Royce was still writing about her ex-husband in the Mail.[48] On 5 May 2005, he was arrested for common assault against Monckton, who was 20 weeks pregnant at the time. He admitted the offence and accepted a police caution, but said later that he only did so because it was the quickest way for him to be released, and that he had not assaulted her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special K Posted 19 August, 2012 Author Share Posted 19 August, 2012 You've just answersed your own question . They do it because he gets a reaction and gets the paper talked about on threads like this. If you just ignored him ...... I didn't really have a question, my post was primarily a rant. But I am perplexed as to why an esteemed rag such as the ST would give this penis a column when there are some fine sports journo's around who could fill up the inches with half decent copy, as opposed to rent-a-***t and his inane ramblings.

Frank's cousin Posted 20 August, 2012 Share Posted 20 August, 2012 Tomorrows chip paper and all that - pathetic little excuse of a journalist is one that needs to write 'provocative' rubbish because they do not have the intellectual capacity or prose writing talent to attract readers (employers) by writing something interesting...
