Paddy Barclay

[Arn]

Well, our own manager is more or less calling the fans idiots.

[RedReet]

He's a follically challenged prick

(Sorry reece....but look on the bright side - you're not a prick )

Our first team is follically challenged at the moment. Too many baldies and it's confusing to watch, especially like today when they are all on the left hand side of the pitch.

We need hair, even Nando is missing his locks. At the very least we need a fine ginger beard in the team, something we have sorely missed since Xabi and Smicer left.

[Lecter]

Someone who has twitter account (I dont) should send these two things to him

1) Roy Hodgson has not won away from home in his last 21 Premier League matches as a coach with Liverpool and Fulham.
2) Roy Hodson's win percentage in the Premier League so far (all clubs) 25.5%, Rafa's win percentage in the Premier League 55%

Hodgson is playing baldies because their presence highlights his own luxuriant locks.

That's why he likes Patrick Barclay. And Patrick Stewart.

I think Nige is a twitterer. Perhaps he can do it.

I've made a twit of myself on it lately.

Sunday Supplement 10/10/2010

On the Sunday Supplement on 10 October 2010, Brian Woolnough introduced the programme with newspaper headlines regarding the take-over of Liverpool Football club which has been caused directly by the nature of the loans and finance arrangements made by Tom Hick & George Gillett. The emphasis on the various headlines was about the possibility of administration and Hick’s attitude towards concerned Liverpool fans.

When Brian afforded you the opening comments I genuinely thought it was because you were considered the most informed on the subject, or maybe it was because you are the senior of the guest journalists. I wondered if it was perhaps that you were the erudite journalist that had undertaken research on a major, major issue in current world of football. In those few seconds which my brain had to compute why he’d deferred to you before the other two journalists, I quickly concluded that it was either a regional issue, one being from London and one being from Newcastle, or that you had perhaps become a specialist on the topic. I put my ironing to one side and paused to be enlightened.

I truly couldn’t believe how poorly you responded to the issue. How uninformed you appeared to be and how you, indeed the programme failed to have an intelligent debate about what is a very interesting subject. Its not just about the disastrous consequences caused by Rick Parry and David Moores who sold the club to Hicks & Gillet, but the actual events that had happened during the preceding week when the club appeared to be sold and in which the owners had attempted to dismiss some of the current board who in turn were using the owners media outlet (liverpoolfc.tv website) to blast their employers. It was a unique week in which the media thrived from the activity, newspapers filled columns on the subject from which you and the Sunday Supplement team had several days in which to compile some informative information to deliver. The news and events of the week were sensational and you all had the opportunity to reflect on it rather than sniping at Rafa Benitez. It was an unprofessional and cowardly

“How can an iconic club get in to such mess” was the question – you made a brief mention about the finance and then commenced to criticise Rafa. Danny Fullbrok has his say then when it returned to you still failed to discuss the real issues. You mentioned fans should buy a stake in the club – how Paddy, How? Has the club been offered for sale to small investors? No. However are you aware of the Shareliverpool scheme for which the fans are attempting to buy a stake in the club but the owners have to permit it or it to happen.

Perhaps you were on holiday all this week and missed the events, indeed perhaps you have been asleep for 3 years have missed the unfolding tragedy of Liverpool. Nonetheless I’m disappointed that Brian allowed you the opening remarks. I’m angry that Brian didn’t bring you all back on topic and request that you discuss the current issues, rather than old, lazy, stereotypical dross of yesteryear.

What really upset me, not in an ‘emotional’ sense but rather one of rational common sense, was that you then stated you had no sympathy with the supporters. You stated that your sympathy lye’s with people who are losing their jobs. I’m sorry but for as long as I’ve been watching the programme I always thought it was a football discussion magazine and not Newsnight or Panorama in which economic and employment matters need to be considered. If you cannot empathise, particularly at your age, with supporters who have seen their club virtually dismantled financially then you are neither fit for your job or fit to appear on a football discussion programme. Brian Woolnough is far from my favourite journalist either but he, and the others, quickly recognised you naivety, ignorance and foolishness and isolated your opinion. You are sir, a dolt.

“One of the most widely read sports journalists in the UK.”, I don’t think so Mr Barclay. With reference to ‘employment’ issues, do you think many people would retain their positions if they presented such nonsense to their line manager like you did on that programme? How many people would get away with being so inaccurate, out of touch and biased.

Yours, without any respect whatsoever.

I just have.
