Is Paddy Cosgrove the biggest wanker in Ireland?

    I rarely visit Twitter, as there’s few things less interesting or important than the opinions of the common man. However I opened up the app this afternoon while chilling out in the clubhouse after a game of golf.

    One of Cosgrave’s terrible tweets came up on my feed. I clicked on his profile to check out his tweets. I think we can all agree than Cosgrave is an absolutely world class areshole. He has a PhD in being a complete dickhead, and wrote the book ‘I’m a complete tool’.

    He had a lot of completion for the award this year, but with 5 months to go it’s safe to say he has the award already won.

    Is there anyone who actually finds him tolerable? Or have you another candidate in mind for the end-of-year dickhead awards which are now only a few months away?

    My friend who works in marketing thinks he's great.

    He's just marketing himself. Best not give him the attention he craves.

    Probably would go for the guy that let untested elderly patients in hospitals be put back into nursing homes.

    Here he is trying to justify charging €850 for a jumper.

    Less of the personal abuse, my friend. Attack the post, and not the poster.

    Less of the backseat modding

    I'm not sure he's the biggest wanker in Ireland (he faces strong competition from the likes of Niall Harbison, John Connors, Jim Corr, Leo Varadkar), but he's right up there.

    Such a tosser

    Had the misfortune of dealing with him in a previous life, a unmitigated wanker and wouldnt spend ****ing Christmas either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,819 ✭✭✭✭Thelonious Monk


    I don't know much about this bloke, only from this site, he hosted a web thing or something. But you're not helping by going on about him all the time if you want him to go away.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,005 ✭✭✭✭hynesie08

    He was completely and utterly lambasted for it by most people while his Web summit cronies gave themselves hernias from bending over backwards to defend him.

    I'd like to read his thesis!

    Forgot about him and his summit, is he still doing the rounds?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,292 ✭✭✭Ubbquittious


    Phil Hogan is undoubtedly the biggest wanker in this country


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,430 ✭✭✭✭EmmetSpiceland

    Is that because Paddy is over in Portugal?

    This is not a personal attack on you.

    In my opinion the whole concept of starting a thread to encourage others to heap personal abuse on any individual is wrong.

    I'll leave it at that.

    I'd say he's an absolute dose. The fiasco with the moaning of the web summit was a joke. Looks like he didn't make the cut for the crony class and is now going full steam against the establishment as a result. Have to say he is pleasing me with this approach mind.

    The dude is a public figure; a man who has an opinion on everything; and is quick to dish out criticism himself.

    He’s also a massive bellend.

    He is so typical Irish. He hates the establishment because his own family were it.

    Just like the Shinners. They are mainly Shinners because of their history of their families joining the British army.

    Whatever you background you have to rebel against it if you're Irish.

    Honestly never heard of him until this thread.

    I'm going with Brian Hayes with Roy Keane a close second.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,647 ✭✭✭✭El Weirdo


    He couldn't even sort out WiFi for a web summit.

    Then wouldn't shut up tweeting at the beginning of the Covid crisis and even went as far as fabricating the death of 4 nurses.

    Tells you all you need to know.

    Massive fucking wanker.

    Phil Hogan isn’t a wanker - he’s the result of what happens when 150 fellas whack one out in to a pile of nastiness and put a suit on it.

    He really is a tremendous one, from his wooly wannabe Steve jobs jumpers and his self righteous pontificating he's just insufferable. It's an awful thing to say but if anything good was to come out of the global pandemic, it will be the demise of his web summit nonsense, I'm hearing Lisbon quite at the moment Paddy

    It's hilarious when he keeps giving out about the establishment after that time when he said they preferred to hire Trinity graduates before others.

    didnt he back down and said they would have to have at least 1h grade in schools other than Trinity (he wanted at least a 2.1 from trinners and not pay them, just an honor to work for the great Paddy Cosgrove)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,940 ✭✭✭✭Rothko

    He'd be defending her from all the angry men.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,093 ✭✭✭i_surge


    If he is behind their extremely sexist ticketing policy then i probably agree. Never heard much of this guy before.

    How come there isn't a thread about which women is the biggest cnut in Ireland???

    Boards is strange like that.
    Sure on radio forum, personal abuse for Ryan, darcy and Joe is okay... But the lottie Ryan thread gets closed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,503 ✭✭✭✭Mad_maxx


    Is he still being treated for a sore back ?

    He carried an awful lot of water for the Chinese Communist Party earlier in the year
