The Toronto Star has sent their 'thenthitive bhoy' , Cathal Kelly, over to cover the Euros.
Have you ever read such loads of shite in your life? All he does is seek out the negative and amplify it.
Everybody is rowdy and disorderly and displeases him. The stadiums aren't worthy of his approval. Swiss people aren't nice to him. Impeccable taste, I'd say.
Everyone is reporting about how this is one of the best soccer tournaments they've seen in recent years, full of bright, positive play. All he can talk about is the ugly stuff - violence, rioting, drunkenness. And he seems to have a world exclusive on those subjects because there's precious little of it going on or being reported about in other media.
His editor, Mike Simpson, is known in media circles for disliking soccer. The Star did everything they could to oppose the building of BMO Field. They practically ignored TFC's first-year training camp and only sent Morgan Campbell down to Carolina after readers complained about the lack of coverage.
Simpson is this sort of hypocrite. He's from Stratford, Ont., home to an Inter-County Baseball Leage franchise. He writes a nice, gushing piece about the league in the Leafs season program. Then he virtually ignores the team all year long, even when they won the league title last year.
Now he's got his baseball beat writer, Kelly, covering the second-biggest soccer event in the world and letting him write unbalanced, slanted articles about the event and the game in general. It's a wonder Zurich is still standing by his account.
Fhuck ohff, you fhour-eyed ghobshite!! Next time he shows up for a TFC game, please bring the screening curtains into the press box at BMO Field and have this waste of DNA and newsprint humanely disposed of.
