A US sports journalist poster called NYCTim has just written a very good and calm character assasination of Ms Hyde Doug just beat me too it^^^^^^^
he's a good old buddy of mine that fella...shared lots of beers with him... i was surprised when he wrote that, as he found it himself...i didnt direct him to it.
I see that bird at the Guardian has resurfaced, not content with thumbing her nose at the 100s who lost their job at Setanta in a previous article, she has stuck the boot into the many volunteers who collectively campaign for the return of the Boxing Hour and better boxing coverage in general. Her cronies on the blog, are tripping over themselves to offer grammar checks to Bunce supporters as well as posit that all of us Bunce campaigners are a bunch off over-sensitives and don't get irony. In fact, those tree-hugging liberals have never been so excited since a bunch of boxing fans added some coverage to this largely unread blog. As I alluded to on her blog, there is a certain amount of irony in gurning about being called 'sweetheart' and in the next sentence refer to us boxing fans as 'over-sensitives'. Maybe Barack Obama (with his much-maligned use of 'sweetie' to a reporter) and Steve Bunce have more in common than Marina thinks, and perhaps, so too, the hysterical liberals on the Guardian blogsphere and the Fox News hawks.
why the heck are we giving her the attention and boosting her pathetic column? let the relevent people deal with the issue and don't give her the satisfaction
You can't expect this snotty arsed, oxbridge educated woman to have any empathy with US!!! To Ms Marina Dudley-Williams - We are just smelly, stupid oiks who are one step removed from being fans of bear baiting and dog fighting. Mind you - the Alan Partridge jab was funny - it does remind you a bit of the episode where Alan Partridge wound up the Norfolk farmers on his radio show and ended up getting a dead cow dumped on him - hey theres an idea!
David Blunkett has made a statement on Marina Hyde's blog, well at least, the poster is claiming to be David Blunkett....
That was me, sorry. Definitely David Bunkett, not Blunkett. God, she bites quickly if there is an easy oppourtunity to be condensending towards people.
I was wondering who that was I bet she did call his office! shes a nutter like that! Id say they are sick of her calling them now!
She has a bit of a superiority complex who assumes all boxing fans are thick and her minions are actually very funny. I look forward to her demise, which will of course be her own doing as she does not seem to have the ability to realise when she has gone/is going too far lol.
Now i've registered on the Guardian site I intend making full use of the facilities, checking out and commenting on every one of Cortina Hydes columns in the future...I suspect others on here will do the same. :deal
