If I remember correctly from school, a winnet is that annoying piece of shit that sometimes remains attached to your arse after you've had a shit.

We gave that as a nickname to a lad in school. Some 40+ years later he still has it, much to his annoyance.

Oi, winnet, make mine a Stella.

Poor winnet.

There's a definite need for sonebody to point out the king isn't wearing any clothes, regarding those figures.
I don't know if you're aware but there was an almighty fallout over pay deals in RTE a while back.
I won't go into the specifics of how they derailed the entire gravy train for themselves (thousands spent on flip flops for a staff beach party - that sort of thing) but the percieved wisdom had been that the top-earners HAD to be paid vast sums or the British or even American TV would swoop in and make off with 'the talent'.
The top-earmer, Ryan Tubridy, was on the bones of €500,000,000. (Some of it subsidised by a shady back door deal). Long and short of it: he's no longer at RTE and now earns closer to 60k with Virgin Radio.
Those who remain have had their wings clipped and so far, none have been offered the big deals 'out foreign' that it had been supposed they would be

And how much does the BBC waste on that utter pile of shite "The Eurovision Song Contest"? We are never in with a chance of winning it as the rest of Europe hate us and our entrant usually is completely useless, this year it is "Look Mum No Computer" what the bloody hell!

Is he an arsenal fan?

 

[Gordyola]

The BBC have backed the wrong horse - it would seem, they’ve thrown their weight behind Reform and the far right in quite a major way but Reform won’t support the BBC and will almost certainly defund it and pro

Strange how we seeing things differently I certainly wouldn't agree with that mine you I only listen to Five Live

It's interesting just how many BBC employees are used for this ?
BBC Radio 2 sends at least 3 of their presenters over for a good few days.
BBC TV also send Graham Norton & others, to cover it...

Pretty sure David Bellamy and Johnny Ball both cast doubt on climate change, and weren't seen on TV again.....

Same with Prof Robert Winston on the gender issue , fk the bbc

Ha no, Oooooldhum

I thought that was a keggy nut?

When it reports on climate change issues, the BBC's Justin Rowlatt is wheeled out to hector and lecture us. For balance, I can't recall the BBC ever interviewing anyone with an opposing view.

Bastards. They never give a platform to creationists or flat-earthers, either!

 

[Stoned Rose]

Apparently opposition fans feel things about Arsenal that they just don't feel about City. J.Liew on Sky Sports News. Whatever the fuck that means

Now there’s one little fucker I’d love to take a blowtorch to.

There was an FOI about Eurovision a couple of years ago, from UKIP (obviously). In total, it cost the BBC the equivalent of about 60% of the cost of a single episode of Casualty each year.

Eurovision is mostly a broadcasting union where European broadcasters share facilities for things like the Olympics to save costs. The song contest is a bit of fluff.

 

[Silva61]

Spot on. They made a remark on talksport one of the days of this week that said even United fans will be rooting for us to win the league over arsenal, the reason being because it will be hilarious to once again see them bottle it. It was Simon Jordan if I remember right.

Rags want us to win it over Arsenal cos it's all London based.

 

[Ho Chi Man City]

I was impressed by her love of the game, and she quickly became quite knowledgeable about it.

Don’t think you’ll catch many out with that.

 

[SatOnTheWall]

Now there’s one little fucker I’d love to take a blowtorch to.

If ever you decide to go ahead with it, please let me know. I would like to see that.

Maybe you could bring the pliers and both go all Marcellus Wallace on his ass

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

It's difficult to know from what you have said, what Liew actually meant. If it's implying that opposition fans prefer Arsenal over us, then I don't see that, Arsenal are a laughing stock and have been for years. I suspect a poll of opposition fans wouldn't have them being preferred by much, if anything. And that's taking into account that generally speaking everyone hates serial champions

No doubt that the most hated clubs from matchgoing fans are Arsenal and Liverpool and the reason is their despicable fanbases. Real fans know what their support is like. The hatred for United has reduced since they collapsed.

No that was his mate, loseit

Difference being they can sell Casualty to other broadcasters, they have no exclusive rights to sell the ESC to anyone.

 

[Asa's left peg]

That hybrid Liew has to be one of the worst out there.
He thinks he's some godlike genius with his writing for the tinpot paper he writes for.
Weird looking fucker too, looks like he's a man and a woman trapped in a man and woman's body.

I also wonder who made him 'spokesperson' for all football fans? How did he come to this conclusion? Where is the evidence? Can we see the result of the poll he conducted?
Or was is with his one mate on line whose name rhymes with Paris.
