Liverpool FC Forum

I am quite shocked to hear about this article, after all the Irish Independent was a credible newspaper that I read occasionally and one which I've never really got an anti-liverpool/scouser vibe from. I've never heard of this Ian O'Doherty character but I can only guess that he's a manc fan with a massive chip on his shoulder. After all, most man u fans over here have been quick to point out the 'fact' that we're the worst fans in Europe, before even looking into any of the real facts

[redtrader74]

Another example of lazy sensationalist 'journalism'. I would have no problem with him writing what he liked if there were any facts, comparisons and research attached that confirmed his views.
Although this tosser seems to have a personal reason to hate LFC and scousers...probably a Manc.

[Sabre]

I sent an e-mail to the Irish Independent and to LFC informing them of this guy.


Pretty shocking stuff. I can only assume that O'Doherty is some kind of Richard Littlejohn-esque writer who is paid to be a bigoted as a gimmick.

Can Manhattan sources put the e-mail here in public so that the web crawlers pick it and it's bombarded with SPAM and I can send a couple of thoughts too?

Thanks

Even if he's a Manc, and even if he dislikes LFC, he should have never insulted a whole city.

ian o doherty is a scumbag, typical dublin w&nker having a go at cork people and scousers, its typical of him (a smartarse journalist having a cheap shot without knowing the facts, he is always at it,the editor of that paper aengus fanning is another who does the same) he should be shot with a barrel of his own sh ite. that paper is a broadsheet with a tabloid mentality and recently enough got into hot water with the irish police for producing an article about a female police officer who died giving birth a few months ago,  it made the news because her husband also a policeman was involved in a fatal shooting of an mentally ill armed man in a house in abbylara a few years ago, the story was distastful a total invasion of privacy and had nothing to do with the abbeylara shooting and the paper was widely condemned for the "story" the independent were forced to apolpgise for it afterwards begrudgingly.....this is just another example of scumbag journalism from a smartass ill educated lout.
I hope o doherty gets what he deserves, the dirty [email=bast@rd.......]bast@rd.......[/email]

well you know how the london media give liverpool people a hard time, well this is a similar situation where the dublin media have go at cork people.....so yes he is a dublin w@nker journalist, and to compare what i said and what that scumbag o doherty said abut liverpool people is somewhat different....try reading his article and come back to me......

[stmichael]

That's shocking that. Was that the actual headline used? "Filthy Scouse Scum"

If that was said about race, or even nationality there would be a f#cking uproar.

[GRIMM599]

I really cant believe this! How about we all email/letter about this t0sser. clearly out of line. What if he had said......london was a dump? i really find it unreal that this was printed! i shall never EVER by that again! That lad needs to be f(_)cking SHOT! or a good kickin! by a kildare man

[Emerald Red]

What the f*ck! I'm Irish myself, and I'm both surprised and yet not surprised, if that makes sense?! Shocked, hmm, yes - that's the word I'm looking for. I'm in a rush. Gotta split. TBC!

well done manhattan, i emailed them last night, not a hope those scumbags will acknowledge it tho....but keep up the pressure, that fat bastardo ian o doherty should be sacked for those comments, vile, ignorant, insulting and defamatory to the people of liverpool and cork...gutter smartarse journalism at its worst, it seems the media never learn.....

[Emerald Red]

[karl84]

As dub red i'm astonished at this article as a big reader of it myself.

I m also suprised at them printing that crappppp.

But sadly i'm not suprised at my fellow irish man classing 'typical DUBS' .
THANKS VERY MUCH PAL
THAT SORT OF ISNT NEEDED

Or if you want me like you ' thats typical cork people bleedin chip on your shoulder'
But as for this Dublin lad i wouldnt even dream of saying that .

DUBLIN'S FOREVER RED

definitly on a wind-up, no doubt a long suffering manure fan, how can he slag of liverpool the city when we have such a strong bond with the people of ireland, Liverpool is known as the capital of ireland, by his same reasoning we should consider all irish people as terrorist who go around blowing up innocent women and children.

if the editor of that rag had anything about him he will instruct him to apologise but i wont be holding my breath.

what an arshole.
