    Is it true he got something like 600 points in the leaving cert?

    He was very attentive and hands on with all subjects!

    He got 580!(It comes up on a Cutting Edge video.)

    lads what was in the deleted tweets of posts here? Was he playing the victim and claiming Boardsies are ganging up on him? At least discussion here is a lot more balanced than Twitter...

    Well at least he didn't use the high points to get into physiotherapy

    I’m missing something here, did Porter take a shot at Boards.ie at some stage?

    Yes last night, he screen shot posts from here and was complaining about what people are writing about him, all since deleted

    He retweeted a series of posts from here on his twitter page, playing the victim while telling us all he is trying to be the best version of himself.







    whatever the f*ck that means.

    He was trying to make the boards posts out to be very hurtful and evil but in reality the posts were very fair and balanced.

    Is it now safe for attractive young men to be within groping distance of Al? Has he cured his compulsion?

    There's difference between being sorry and feeling sorry for oneself. More of the former and less of the latter would be helpful.

    What a twerp.

    He’ll be looking for the victim angle on just about everything now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,208 ✭✭✭✭Cienciano


    He definitely thinks he did nothing wrong. His Facebook page is linked in his twitter bio. About the 3rd post down is a post link to a story by larissa nolan about how the self righteous media and how everyone makes mistakes and where is peoples compassion.

    He really is going the wrong way about this. He obviously has no PR, but he needs some. And he fúcking definitely needs to lose the "poor me, I'm the real victim here" attitude.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,628 ✭✭✭✭pgj2015


    Larry Murphy had the same attitude, refused to get help while in prison.

    He picked one or two comments form this thread that has over 2,000 that suits his current agenda to post on his twitter hours after the article and not long after it was posted here. Why would you do that? He was obviously actively seeking negative comments about himself to gain some support back. I can guarantee that 'online trolls'(i.e one person) making sick comments about his condition will be in his next article/interview.

    Ah in fairness you could tell Murphy was 100% twisted.

    Porter isn't anything near his levels. Al is just failing to face the fact that he was just a couple of yards short of the RTE levels of untouchable-ness that could help him get away with this.

    I wouldn't compare them tbh.

    You couldn't mark that man's neck with a blowtorch. He can shove his outrageous and flamboyant public persona up his hole.

    Not only did he seek one or two specific posts, he picked out specific parts of those posts and purposely edited out the thanks on them.

    Then after spending the whole night at that kind of thing, he went and deleted everything. If nothing else, that's just childish as ****.

    His twitter posts over the last few months are nauseating. It boils down to

    - "im a changed man"
    - "internet trolls are bullying me"
    - "look at all the work I do for charity".
    - "when I go public again youll know the truth about how caring I am"

    Narcissistic was a word someone used earlier and seems accurate to me.

    If he is so concerned about helping people why doesnt he try to work in the area of social care? Seems he would much rather get another few slots on Brendan O'Connor's Cutting Edge to talk about how caring he is and how hard life has been.

    Here's a tweet about him finding himself. "so many things to do and be", he says. Well f*ck off and do something else then!

    I'm famous now folks, how're ya Al I'm still waiting for my pm from you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,208 ✭✭✭✭Cienciano



    Second reply by SD has retweets about surviving R Kelly, "trans people won't be erased", trans support, Muslim support, against sexual assaults (against women, men is fine apparently) and every other left wing cause.

    careful now he might send you something else in your dm's

    Do you really think a career in social care would be suitable for a person accused of groping people without their consent?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,037 ✭✭✭✭The Talking Bread


    A man who loves to tweet
    He says why am I not allowed to fiddle now
    Why am I not allowed a fiddle now
    The rest of my life is so hard
    I need a photo-opportunity
    I want a shot at redemption
    Don't want to end up washed up
    In a unemployed graveyard
    Bonedigger Bonedigger
    Dogs in the moonlight
    Far away my Tallaght door
    Mr. Boards.ie Boards.ie
    Get these trolls away from me
    You know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore

    If you'll let me be flamboyant
    I can be your outrageous pal
    I can make you sweaty
    And sweaty when you call me Al
    You can call me Al

    A man who loves to tweet
    He says why am I short of attention
    Give me more attention
    And wo my nights are so long

    All along along
    There were "incidents" and "accidents"
    There were hints and allegations
    But we all know I'm the victim here
    So Who'll be my audience
    Now that my career is
    Gone Gone Gone


    If you'll let me touch you up
    I can be your narcisstic pal
    I can be flamboyant
    And outrageous when you call me Al
    You can call me Al
