So, Eric Bristow eh?

[Burney]

Yet again we are treated to the unedifying sight of millions of people self-righteously piling onto a clearly rather dim and badly educated man who has made some ill-advised and rather unfortunate remarks on Twitter with the apparent intention of getting him sacked.

Social media really is a cùnt's paradise, isn't it?

I was going to post something similar.

So his big crime was calling him a poof, not a pae*do? Would "pae*do poof" been ok? The man is, after all, clearly a poof.

But sacked from what though? I had presumed he was merely a retired darts player.

I think the association of páedofiddlery and poovery is simply considered verboten - even though pederasty has been a pretty common strand of poovery as long as it's existed. But yes, as you say, a man who cornholes young footballers certainly isn't straight.

He does the commentary on darts for Sky, which I imagine is worth a few quid.

He was a pundit for Sky Sports. I say "was" because he's been fired for his tweets.

Oh, they have sacked him, have they? Bunch of cünts.

I hardly imagine that the sort of people who watch darts would give a flying fück.

fine sport is darts.

EB on the other hand? made himself look a bit of a ****

No, they probably won't, but everyone's a cowardly corporate stooge nowadays though. Including the mighty Eric himself; he knew the score.

It's the sort of beery, offhand remark you could hear in any pub in the country any night of the week and dismiss as just a bit of boorish, drunken stupidity. I certainly find the remark nowhere near as repellent as all the staged swooning and pearl-clutching it has prompted from the professionally offended. ****ssake.
