If homophobia is going to be tackled in football in the UK, I doubt our current crop of journalists will be the force behind it.

[Iceman]

Homophobia needs to be fisted out of the game.

[ngogswilly]

Holt is sort of hilarious, well it would be hilarious if it wasn't so digusting.

 

In relation to his Tweet about Terry, Terry's argument has always been, "I didn't mean it in that context", but if Holt really believes what Terry says to be true, then why ask is it wrong.

 

If he was to believe Terry's argument, then he should be telling the world Terry is innocent. But obviously he hasn't. Hes just asked everyone is it wrong to call someone Black Cunt. Fucking disgraceful cunt.

Maybe he was making a subtle hint or not as to which foot Evra kicks with.

just hope to god he's NOT a "left footer"!!! we'd really be in trouble then......

Fair comment, LFC.

 

I don't think that it is a journalists job on a popular newspaper to be consistent though , it is to provoke, or catch a mood - I agree that has little to do with "the truth."

 

I am always fond of the Bevan quote:"This is my truth tell me yours."

 

True unfortunately. I may be a bit naive in thinking journalism is about a 'quest for truth'. If Evelyn Waugh knew it back then then there's bugger all chance these days;

 

News is what a chap who doesn't care much about anything wants to read. And it's only news until he's read it. After that it's dead.

Don't know about his foot preference but my utd supporting brother says he's a friend of dorothy

Has he expressed his outrage yet at the Mongrel charged with racist comments?, it's just, for the sake of consistency I'd have thought he would have, after all, he was on a junket to Doha when the Oldham player, was allegedly abused at Anfield and he was on his Ivory Tower at 2:30am (local time in Doha) expressing disgust via Twitter.

 

I'd don't follow the massive prick, so I don't know if he has given us the benefit of his wisdom on the subject yet.

John Terry considering England retirement being stripped of the captaincy - News - MirrorFootball.co.uk

By Oliver Holt

 

John Terry is considering announcing his retirement from international football.

 

Terry, who was stripped of the England captaincy this morning, is angry and disillusioned by his treatment.

 

He was told of the decision by FA chairman David Bernstein this morning by telephone.

 

He is understood to want to quit playing for England altogether but has been advised not to make an announcement immediately.

 

Someone has clearly been on the phone to have his "threat" published.

[Peflecan]

Yeah I was referring to the fan.

[Guest San Don]

Holt is a fulltime cunt, who ghost-writes books for a racist.

 

Word.

 

Repped.

[goatboy59]

Loving Ollie's "Terry believed to be bitter" and "Terry believed to be considering retirement"

 

That would be

 

[Paul]

There are loads of hugely talented football journalists out there. The problem is most people confuse quality with shared opinions.

I bet if I asked Oliver Holt to meet me outside a pub at 5pm one night, he wouldn't turn up.

Voice of the people they are, except they don't mingle with them at all, and are actually scared of touching one.

 

Getting Ollie Holt to touch you outside of a pub one night would be a cause celebre in the fight against homophobia.

 

His tweets would be unbearable.

Something like " Is calling a homosexual a 'raving pillow biter pufter' homophobic? I dont know' the kind of tweet we could see?
