    Ahh the man that told us to go off and commit suicide if we were worried about the economy.

    He's a fcuking cnut. I hope it rains a shower of sh!t on that man for what he helped do to this economy. Doubt it will tho :(

    The only sports writing I'm aware of that Bertie has done was his entry as Taoiseach in the George Best book of condolences when he expressed his deepest sympaty on behalf of the Irish goverment.

    Sports punditry/journalism is valueless garbage anyway.

    I was watching tv this evening and a add came on advertising an Evening newspaper and the columnists from the paper were hidden in different items in the kitchen.
    Bertie Aherne our ex Taoiseach who is the GAA columnist for this paper was in a cupboard, the country is going down the drain and he is making adds,looking at him laughing i suddenly realised he is giving the rest of us the two fingers.
    He is being paid as a member of our Government and i would think his time would better spent trying to get us out of the hole he got the country into up to now i have voted Fianna Fáil not anymore.

    Like Bob Hoskins used to say on the BT ad... "It's good to talk" :D

    My opinion is the amount of effort being expended apportioning blame greatly outweighs the amount of effort being expended fixing what's wrong.

    That's just not right. :(

    He's already well hung.

    He must have some serious pair of stones on him writing sports, even if it is for a newspaper I wouldnt wipe my arse with.

    And most celebrity sports writers get plenty of assistance when "writing" their columns ...

    He could start his own problem page where people write in for advice.

    Dear Bertie,
    I'm worried about the current economic climate, I fear we are in the midst of a property bubble and if we don't act now it will have devastating consequences for our country,
    Yours etc
    Inda

    Dear Inda,
    Go commit suicide.

    Has this being going on for a while???

    Apparently writing on sport.......well at least it is not politics I suppose.

    And on a side issue have you seen the ad for the News of the World?? Some young wun opens her press door and Bertie Ahern is sitting in there drinking a cup of tea. Stuff of nightmares I tells you.

    This is the man who wants to be our next President. Classy.

    And your point is?????

    On the subject, Bertie has been demonstrating for some time that he never really had the class to be a good Taoiseach as is being now proven with the state of our economy.
