Niamh Horan & Una Healy

MRBEAVER

Previous thread on this subject was locked so maybe this is a banned topic. But I was just going through Sindo and this is the nastiest and most vindictive article I have seen in a long time. No idea who Una Healy is and had never heard of her before but the article is really vicious and seems to be based on nothing more that she went out a few nights and had a few drinks. Why does Niamh Horam hate her and why did the Sindo print such a vindictive hate piece.

A case of the green eyed monster.

In other news WHO CARES???

admiralofthefleet

who are both ffs?

BraziliaNZ

In boards.ie, Sindo is a special case

landsleaving

Use of the word 'cringiest' by a professional journalist is extremely disappointing.

But not wholly unexpected from the paper in question.

She's dead right

It was a silly & lazy article in my opinion. But then again that's hardly shocking from the Sindo.

RandomAccess

Just goes to show the quality of gutter journalism the Irish Independent has (not recently) descended to.

You could google her name and read some of the thrash articles she writes, they make for cringeworthy reading. Or better still don't bother.

You're going to have a long wait so.

Did Una steal Niamhs boyfriend or kill her dog? Surely there has to be a personal reason for an article like that. no way she could have that much hate for someone that had not crossed her.

If there was a "rule" that you had to be good at stuff you criticise others for, nobody would be able to have a negative opinion on anything ever.

Young successful girl has a few drinks? Shocker. Definately seems like there's an agenda there alright.

So you imply that the only people who can form an opinion the quality of an article has to be a journalist themselves?

That was a very stupid post.
Don't give out about that. By your logic I am perfectly qualified to form an opinion on your posts.

That would be a nice sandwich.

I've just read the article - yes, I cringe all right... for the gossip merchant who calls herself a journalist, not the singer one.

Augmerson

Why are people still reading these rags?

sesna

Niamh Horan is a $hit journalist working for a rag newspaper. She's a really nasty bltch. Ive only read a few of her tripe articles, but she's worse than Alison ORiordan.

Namlub

Were you expecting journalistic integrity or something?

Looks like theyve adopted more than the tabloid layout/format for quite some time ...trashy article ,gutter press...

Indeed

cazzak79

for people that dont know her una healy is in a girl band the saturdays in the uk and she is from tipperary.

gcgirl

And she is a frigging lash pity she is with Ben foden

danger mouse

Oh dear god!!!! How does this girl get published in a national newspaper? Her and alison o'riordan must be sitting in their over priced flat every friday night making up stories for this sunday poo rag.

Sunday Independent has been tabloid gutter trash for a long time. More obsessed with the personal lives of C-list "celebrities" than reporting genuine news topics of interest.

Such headlines as "What Rosanna did next" are commonplace. They dont appear to realise that nobody gives a toss about what Rosanna, Glenda or their nobody friends did next!

MRBEAVER

So why does Niamh hate Una? And why did the Sindo print an article like that?

I would f*ck her so hard in the adams apple.

It may be an old-fashioned attitude, but you've got to wonder what her parents must think.

No such fear of simply cutting back on the sauce instead then, Una?

You've got to wonder what her friends, well-paid entourage or rugby-hunk boyfriend think when they pick up the paper the following day.

You're on the public stage now. Think twice about your behaviour. If not for yourself, then for your family who have to see the papers back home.

It reads like a note home from the principal.

Barry Egan has a lot to answer for. Niamh Horan wouldn't lace his boots when it comes to writing ****e like that.

Thats never going to end well now, is it?

I've no doubt that the staff of the rags are all models of abstinence when it comes to the substances they preach about.

I read a critique of Niamh Horan as a journalist before. The phrase "dim-witted clot in the artery of humanity" was used, in my opinion, quite aptly. She comes across as a vindictive and jealous little dunce at times.

Praetorian Saighdiuir

It sounds like Niamh Horan is literally "in her rag".


The feckin head on her too....defo a face for newspaper, winner of the worst ladyboy contest 2002!

Learn to punctuate before you start calling the literary prowess of others into question.

I thought people grew out of the "Yeah, well let's YOU do better!!" line by the end of fifth class or so.

What's with the bizarre attempt to stifle discussion, by the way? Friend or family member?

If there's one thing worse than two b!tches that nobody knows nor cares about having a public catfight, its two ugly bitches that nobody knows nor cares about having a public catfight.

Personally speaking, I'm fine with my kids partying when they're old enough. If they turned out to be Janus -faced moralists like Niamh Horan, on the other hand, I'd change the locks on the fucking house.

Just read this article today when on lunch. Thought it completely unfair and uncalled for. Maybe she fancies Una's boyfriend or something.

Dont read Sindo anymore. Its a rip off anyway, nearly three euro ?

It would appear a hell of a lot of people do, though; the Sunday Independent is the biggest selling paper in Ireland, as far as i'm aware.
Even a lot of the people you see complaining about it here appear to read it. Why don't people just stop buying the bloody thing?

I'd imagine the Indo entry interview was a rigorously challenging and exhaustive process.

The only cure for this is for everyone who buys this rag but gives out about the nobodies they write nauseating pieces about is to stop buying the paper. Their sales are so high that the people who run the paper can happily float along on their little cloud of complacency and commit to paper whatever tripe they want, safe in the knowledge that the sheeple will buy it anyway.

Handsome Bob

I'd be interested to see the paps catch Horan after celebrating her birthday, or any other young male or young woman after celebrating the same. A whole load of **** about nothing.

I bet you any money your wan that wrote it goes out and gets plastered every Friday or Saturday and does the exact same thing

Because they need to read this trash about 'celebrities' to brighten up their dull lives, same reason why Hello and OK are so successful.

Sunday Independent seems to have an editorial policy that every page in the front half of the main paper has to have either a picture of a pretty girl or some salacious crap article about a 'celebrity'.
