The Star On Samir Carruthers

[Tyler Durden]

Really no need for that. You should apologise for that post!

He's just a Pigfiltrator. They happen from time to time.

 

[knowsnowt]

^^^^ He's right you know!

(That was a response to the post by flawed)

 

[The Crab]

Does the Star still have 'In The Courts'? that was where I used to see what some of my old school mates were up to, given that I lived on the Cross in my youth.

Was it the scrotes version of LinkedIn?

Yeah I work at The Star.

Remember a good few years ago my old dear ringing me up going mental at me because she'd read in the court report someone with my name had been done for drug dealing! She skipped the important part of my namesake being about 20 years older than me and living in the other side of the city!

 

[PeteBlade]

Why?

Do you also get upset that Chris Waddle and David Hirst are biased towards Sheffield Wednesday?

Do you get upset when you see Sheffield Wednesday fans wearing Sheffield Wednesday shirts and proudly displaying their bias towards Sheffield Wednesday?

I wasn't aware The Star had a remit to be unbiased.

This would make a lot more sense if they were called The Sheffield Wednesday Star and not The Sheffield Star.

 

[wizadry]

The star are not going to come out and say they are biased towards the pigs, they would lose even more readers and almost certainly go out of business.

I think they will go out of business in the next few years anyway and they will only have themselves to blame.

The way they were going to run the story was embarrassing as not only did they mention him pissing in a pint pot mainly, but the fact they put him in a picture against the pigs when we played the plastics only a month or so ago was utterly amateurish biased shite. Tossers!

 

[Rodders]

I only know him for pissing in a pint pot; I have no idea of anything of his playing career - didn't even notice him at this season's MK Dons home match. It's therefore not exactly out of the realms of possibility for a paper to reference his misdemeanour; I bet the people complaining on here most vociferously probably went on the "Campaign for Fairness" march in London in 2007.

You should've watched the game Rodders, he played well until he got injured.

Exactly, that is the only thing Bert knows about him, that he is prone to disgusting behaviour. That marks him down as a complete and utter twat in Bert's books.

You've fallen for the press 'pampered footballers' line.

He immediately apologised and made reference to his family's standards of behaviour and how he'd let them down. This was no forced apology for PR reasons, he was genuinely upset about what he'd done and what his parents would think.

Give the lad a break, did you never do owt daft in your youth?

Just to tie this up with our latest miscreant my mate once appeared in "In the Courts" and was fined £2 for urinating in the street (maybe he should have used a pint pot)

 

[anglian blade]

Bert is making judgements based on only one fact, then as that is the only thing I know about Bert, I must mark him down as the same.

Well perhaps if Bert didn't talk about himself in the third person he would be less confused and more able to make use of the Queen's English to ascertain what is actually happening. Bert might find that it stops Bert from looking like a tit.

 

[FlamingLip]

when still cutting my drinking teeth i once pissed out of a hotel window in the dead of night after being practically comatose following several more pints then i can handle. it was either that or pissing myself - absolutely no way i was getting to the toilets. in hindsight i'm not sure what would have caused more embarrassment given the neatly advertised piss silhouette emanating from my window straight down to the outside breakfast area. manager made me hose the wall down for a second time.

we live, we learn, we try not to do it again

Ha! Wrong thread, which is ironic under the circumstances

 

[itsinyerblood]

As has been mentioned elsewhere, this isn't exactly larceny or fraud on a grand scale. Perhaps the journalist(s) who have been designated to write such nonsense ought to reveal any indiscretions they's been responsible for........a waste of a thread that buys into the stupidity based around The Star's version of how people should behave.

The red tops would need to be thicker than the Sunday Times to achieve that.

 

[itsinyerblood]

The red tops would need to be thicker than the Sunday Times to achieve that.

Bit of an understatement I'd imagine JD. But it's the very stuff that speaks to idle curiosity, and exactly why 'actual' news takes a back seat to the froth and nonsense that comprises the diet of wasted wordage and ideas of the 'red tops'. I wonder how many potentially good writers end up employed at the likes of The Sun, The Star, or even The (Sheffield) Star? A surefire way to dampen expectations and dull that imagination.

What sort of twat would wear a hat like that?

 

[grafikhaus]

Do tell me how this alleged anti-United bias works - are potential new recruits asked which team they support and only Wednesdayites selected? Does the editor censor articles to ensure a pro-Wednesday bias? Do they have news meetings every morning discussing ways of putting down United?

I've worked for Sheffield City Council. If you support Labour, you brag about it. If you don't, you keep schtum. I've been to cross-departmental meetings with around 200 in attendance. At the end, some clown on stage said 'I hope you're all going to vote Labour.' That's how it works.

Is fashion now Berts forte?

I always picture a shit white suit and a Panama hat.

Strange that. I see Bert as more of a Compo....

It's marvellous ain't it?
He plays for MK, he's a twat, we sign him... it's youthful indiscretion.

didnt know Bert was famous

 

[Bert]

Bert never gives you a thought.

 

[itsinyerblood]

Couldn't find an appropriate pic, but the image I have of Bert is one of him wearing chaps (nowt else around the legs and arse), cowboy hat, and the largest nipple rings his nips can stand........this is what happens when all's quiet on the forum.

ISC never commented on him whilst he was at Franchise FC.

ISC just noted that the crime of the century wan't quite as bad as it was portrayed and that the lad immediately made a genuine apology. ISC saw that he is in his early 20s and did something daft. ISC thinks the lad might have learned his lesson.

ISC is now confused as what else he can say to Bert.

Annoying though, isn't it?

 

[I should coco]

Bert never gives you a thought.

Ow that hurts!

Please tell the naughty man to stop being nasty to me.
