I'm pissed and just sent O'Leary a fax ...

Bet the c*nt doesn't reply ...

Quote
Dear Mr O’Leary


I’m not in the habit of sending faxes to football club managers; please spare a minute to read these few short paragraphs.

I wouldn’t bother to write, for example, to tell you how irritating I find a lot of your post-match comments, references to your “young squad,” your at times seemingly graceless attitude in defeat. You’ve no need to hear that, and wouldn’t give a damn anyway.

Similarly, I wouldn’t write to convey my admiration for some of your performances last season, including two against us, and especially your approach to the Champions’ League. Again, there’s no need.

Even after Saturday, had it not been for the turn of events, it would not have been worth my while or yours to write to you about the fact that you will, as a team, only cross the threshold of true greatness to which you are currently so close if you lose that cynical, devious intent to cheat referees which so readily duped one referee at Anfield this year in April, and at which such concerted efforts were again made on Saturday. And as for Mills, well, I won’t sully this note with the only language I could use. So again, I won’t bother.

So why am I writing ?

It’s in order to thank you, personally and on behalf of so many Liverpool fans who I know concur both with the observations above, and with what I am about to say : you have been a true friend to the Houlliers in their time of need, and therefore to us all as Liverpool fans, and to all true football fans in general.

Your stock is greatly enhanced on Merseyside and amongst us Liverpudlians in diaspora. And - given some of the foregoing observations - that, to us on the terraces, has come as a surprise, and a very welcome one. I wish you well in conveying that true spirit of friendship, sportsmanship, humanity and yet friendly rivalry to your squad and the culture of your club in general. Then you may well become truly great.

Very best,

Bob K.

I agree mate, he has certainly gone up in my estimation since saturday. Similar comments from Hoddle, Allardyce and wenger also, but o'Leary's gesture will be the one that sticks in my mind...seems so out of keeping with his and his teams past actions, but good on him anyways.

He was unusually dignified but, to be honest, wouldn't ANY manager have said the same stuff?

It's not so much what he said as what he's done ... staying in Liverpool til tonight, helping the family get travel arrangements sorted, etc ... seems he's been a top bloke and a real friend to them ...

hmmm Bob, I wonder if he will read past the 2nd paragraph. It just seems a bit hostile. I can't imagine that he will finish it somehow, which would be a shame.

Nice touch Bob, as usual, heh

I must say I was was a bit pissed off with O'Leary after the game.  He pretty much said that in these circumstances football doesn't matter, but having said that they should have won, they were denied a clear-cut penalty and they deserved all three points.

I don't care how pally he is (or has been) that really got under my skin.

And have you noticed that since he's put a bit of weight on, his chin has disappeared into his neck?

I reckon Bob put it very well, but I doubt O'Lary will get beyond the first paragraph. In fact, I wonder if he's capable :D

Rox - whining is second nature to The Gnome, so you don't honestly expect him to change that much.

I think his actions since the game have spoken louder than anything he's said. He deserves credit for that, but I still think he's a tosser.

And yes, I've been wondering where his chin went. And why his nostrils resemble those of Tubbs and Edward of the League of Gentlemen.  ;D

It's pretty cool the way you wove critical notes in a generally nice fax ! Hope you get a reply, Bob.

The two have been very good friends for years, and he is doing nothing beyond what most people would do.

Fair play to him - he has shown his nice side, but I'm with Rox on this one. Of course O'Leary's stock has risen, but only because it couldn't get much lower. O'Leary may be a nice bloke in real life - so might Alex Ferguson. But the reason we dislike them is to do with football.

O'Leary could chosen to have not mentioned the match at all, as it was clear by then that GH was ill.  But he still got his comments in.

Fuck him,

Hannibal Lecter could of voiced his concern after the match but you wouldn't belive him.

He is using the situation to promote another side of his character.

Most people have caught on now to what a devious, cheating, win at all costs, knieving twat he really is.

Hmmm he did slightly go up in my estimation but I do still whink of him as a pig-nosed wining c*nt and doubt anything will change that.
I didnt see his post-match interview but if he did talk about football and, more importantly, that his team was robbed, then i think that shows fairly bad taste.

By the way Bob, any reply yet??

Nice fax Bob...

...although I too suspect he might not get past the first couple of paragraphs, cunningly crafted though they are (you must let me know what you get pissed on... it must be creative)...

...anyway, next time how we club together and buy one of those comedy boxes... containing a large boxing glove and an even larger spring. He'll like that. It might even straighten his nose, the whinging, crying, cheating, malodourous charlatan.

...young Mills' present might require a bit more of a whip round.  :wanker:

Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes, of controlling the ball and of making yourself available to receive a pass. It is terribly simple - Bill Shankly.

Oh I think I might be persuaded to pop in for tea and scones on a regular basis Bob... start serving Stella and you won't keep me away.

More importantly, I'm hoping RAWK won't leave too many smelly things in my temp file... you see todays comedy moment was the IT department phoning me to inform me I had a virus logged in my temporary web files. I'm not saying what site it came from. I'm just lucky the IT spod wasn't a Blue or he'd have made more of a stink (well we expect that from bluenoses don't we??).

To be honest, this is the first time I've taken the time to lok around properly... including the articles posted. Paul Tomkins writes a neat ditty or two doesn't he?, splendid.

So tally ho... and yonder to a good RAWK hoe down when I've time on my own PC.

BSki

Oh while O'Leary might have builsome bridges, Leeds are still cheating dirty fucking bastards (how much Anglo Saxon am I allowed?)

I can confidently say it deffinatly won't. And as our hosts use Apache and Zeus not shitty IIS you wont get any dodgy nasties caused by duff ms coding that leaves it voulnerable to dodgy worms.

I'm glad Erp said that confidently. If you need it also said more formally in an orthographical and syntactical context, let me know.

Oh, and you can call O'Leary a c*nt if you want to.

Thanks for that Erpy Ben Blokey Admin Person... Good to know, sadly some employees prefer that you work using their PCs... very short sighted. If only they could value the inspiration I get from farting around on places like this... yup they'd probably afford a mojo, or maybe even a whole 10p mix up.

Anyway, *ahem* ...clears throat

O'Leary is a c*nt
Mills is a fucking c*nt

Hey, that felt good, cheers Bob.

Howdy...

Funny fax. I always thought that O'Leary was a bit of a spin-doctor with all that "young team" bollocks, when of course (if you exclude Gary Mac) I beleive we have a younger average age.

I thought I'd come and check out this site too. The Official one has just got so damn slow recently. Do you also mean to say that lfc.tv leaves crap on your computer???

Anyways. Do I start as Muppet, Graduate to Woollyback and then finally become a Kopite here?
