He's got athletes foot , very flaky skin to, he's commented on it before

I've been racking my brain to come up with someone I dislike inexplicably. With people I dislike, in the public arena, there's a perfectly valid reason.

The best I can come up with are fictional comedy characters like Mr. Bean, never understood the popularity. Then I love Blackadder so it has nothing to do with Rowan Atkinson.

Yeah it's one of those free-spirited hippie sort of thing. Diarmuid Lyng is sort of the same.

It is completely gimmicky. You're on the LLS FFS put on some shoes.

Traditional musicians keep time with their feet. If it is a broadcast or a recording, the sound could be too loud wearing shoes. I have seen videos with barefoot musicians. Steve Cooney is well known for it.

They could at least wear socks!

Eniola Aluko, former footballer, and a racist entitled idiot, and also a brutal co commentator

In order to be successful on TV you have to have some knowledge, likeability and charm, she has none of these qualities. Thats why she doesn't get picked to be a pundit for games.

What's great about this week is female broadcasters have called her out on her bullshit which means she can't go to the sexism defence anymore.

She just seems like an all round unlikeable individual with delusions of grandeur.

I'd say she's now fully torpedoed her career in the media in the UK , nobody is going to hire her anymore.

Gary Lineker

In relation to Gaza he said "silence is complicity" which is fair enough however despite it being reported that numerous footballers have been killed by the Iranian regime Gary is silent on it , so by his own standards he is complicit.

I have no problem with him saying what he wants on gaza and no problem with him saying nothing about Iran however when you get on your high horse and criticise people for not going in on the cause you support you deserve to be called out for you silence on other important issues.

He could just have decided to not be so incredibly self righteous and let people do what they want , his hypocrisy and self righteousness deserves to be called out.

Comedian / comedy actor David Mitchell.

never off the TV, comedy’s, dramas, game shows, chat shows….but he basically in each of those scenarios plays up to and plays whatever part as just ultra similar versions of the same bumbling unfunny hyper camp, eccentric oddball..you’ve seen him in one thing, you’ve basically seen him. He’s a similar character in just everything , reach for the remote if he appears.. saw him on a panel show the other day and he wasn’t even trying to be funny, just trying to be odd…. Just cannot like the guy.

David Mitchell is funny, him and Robert Webb have been part of great comedy shows. The Peep Show is an underrated gem. And the lucky git is married to Victoria Coren Mitchell.

But while we're on the topic, this is who I can't stand.

Richard Ayoade

Not in the slightest bit funny. I'm not even remotely violent, but if I could punch anyone, he'd be right up there.

The Man Utd gobshite fan who won't cut his hair until they win 5 games in a row - hopefully if they win tonight that's the last we'll ever see of him on social media

nahhhh he’s one of those people who just thinks odd or eccentric on its own = funny, he’s just not funny whatsoever.

Yeah its very strange. Its like those two in particular, growing up far away from Connemara and the likes, have to adopt the wild man look to assert they are true Irish speakers.

Which is ironic when I'd say most Irish speakers these days are poshos from the city.

Lyng is the sort of fella who would have been sneering at these types back in the day before he "discovered" himself. He seems to have plenty of sheep following him though and paying for the privilege with his "Wild Irish Retreats"

Seamus Culleton......living in the USA illegally.. ICE have him locked up...rings Liveline crying about it...

just seeing this now, can’t agree more, racist, sexist and genuinely unpleasant and pig ignorant… and useless at her job. If she was a bloke 100 % she’d have been fired by now…

magicbastarder · 12-02-2026 10:03PM

the people i inexplicably can't stand are posters, who post in a thread about people they cannot stand but cannot explain why, who then proceed to explain why they cannot stand them.

blueser · 12-02-2026 10:18PM

That Rob and Romesh duo. They're as funny as a fire in an orphanage.

I’d be glad to take him back. Shortage of plasterers here which he’ll help to plug. He can work while he’s on bail and again when he gets out.

Very naive of Liveline to put him on. The US collects mountains of data on everyone, the chances of him being an innocent or mistaken identity was slim, very slim.
