One quick look on google shows that he's got form for this sort of thing on twitter. There's trying to be edgy, and then there's looking like a dick

It's just a terrible, phoned-in article as you'd expect. I'll even ignore the Cohen part of it for this post -

Despite this trend apparently growing, his examples are from the 90s. He doesn't even mention the most famous shirt-revealing of all which happened last Summer.

ON TOP OF ALL THIS, the only minutes silence I can remember non-footy related was for Japan, which he daren't mention by name for being called insensitive no doubt!

Free paper I suppose, get what you pay for.

Like I said on the other thread: don't feed the trolls. He's a bitter ex-pro who's beginning to realise that he's not good enough for the BBC and is trying to prolong a pathetic punditry career by treading the tired path to outrage. Best ignore him, for the betterment of your mind and the detriment of his career.

@DanDonkIt I think its appropriate, 4 months ago, why the need?
That's possibly one of the top 5 cuntiest things I've ever read on the internet.

I lost my dad 7 years ago, but it doesn't stop me thinking about him all the time, especially when I'm doing something we had a major connection in, y'know, like Tamir and Avi did, y'know, with FOOTBALL.

4 months indeed, Tamir should just man up and get over it, right Mark? Wow. Honestly, feed that c*nt to the dogs.

What a disgusting, horrendously insensitive excuse for a person he is. Thank goodness football has moved away from that kind of arsehole, I bet he wishes it was still all gay bashing and racism, so he could knock one out on the strength of it.

You know, this morning I emailed the article to a mate about it and I put at the end that the way its written sounds as if he could get away with writing it that he’d have said something like “come on Tamir, it’s been months since the event, were you just going to keep that shirt on until the next time you came on and scored or what?”

And my word, that sounds like very much what he was thinking…

Were Bright and Megson ever team mates?

I see he never mentioned the Arsenal players revelaing "Get well soon Aaron" when he broke his leg...

He'd probably describe that as a "Heartfelt show of respect for a brave young man"

Considering all football shirts are just walking advert boards, he makes himself ridiculous just by writing on the topic. "Brain in gear" etc. Marketing indeed, pah.

Just wondered whether they ever exchanged ideas, rubbed off on each other. Or whether its just natural.

Being slightly cynical, he didn't write that article after a Tevez or a Defoe or a Rooney did it, he waited until someone from a smaller club did it then mentions the others as an aside. He also mentions Mark Wright but does not say anything against him, just mentions it in passing.

Like others have said, he's angling himself for his media future. Not worth bothering with.
The players you fail to sign never lose you any money.

I don't think you're being cynical at all Armchair. It's a fact that he wouldn't have said a thing if it was about a player from a "big" club. Cohen was just an easy target. There's no way he would have had the guts to criticise the likes of Rooney, Terry or Gerrard for doing the same thing.

What an utter utter cuntstain he appears to be.

If I were Tamir i'd have had my contract terminated by now if i'd have seen that.

Don't feed this nice person....i'm not even looking at the article as its another hit he undoubtedly doesn't deserve. If we ignore he will disappear.
