Oliver Holt on Huntys case...again

[urz_1871]

Whats the need to keep bringing this up?

It happend ages ago and has been done to death,most pundits and pro's have said it was an accident.

Is Holt looking for an early excuse as to why Chelsea have failed to win the Premiership this season?.

[From Despair To Where?]

Took him 11 days to come up with that? I reckon he employs a shedful of monkeys to ghost write his column for him.

Maybe someone should invite him to the next fan's forum.

I've just submitted this on his forum but i doubt it will get past their mods.

Mr Holt, Aside from the fact that your viewpoint has been consistantly discredited by the overwhelming majority of football comentators, your continued obesession with Stephen Hunt seems to be reaching dangerous levels. I fear psychiatric help is the only course of action for such compulsive obsessive behaviour.

I have also submitted something however I also doubt that it will get past the mods ... Lack of Freedom of speech and the daily mirror.

I dont think he should be invited to a fans forum I think he should be invited to court.

Todays daily mirror has this little gem in the Oliver Holt column...I am almost lost for words with this tube, quite how he can write such drivel in a national daily paper I don't know.

STEVE'S NO SAINT
PLENTY of observers attempted to paint Stephen Hunt as a man of saintly innocence over his appalling challenge that fractured Petr Cech's skull.

An accident, they said. Such a quiet lad, too. Not given to that kind of thing at all. No track record of nasty challenges. Not in his nature.

I thought of that when I saw Hunt launching a double-footed tackle at the Reading mascot 10 days ago in the aftermath of Reading's opening goal against Sheffield United. How playful.

And it appears Hunt's preferred goal celebration is not to punch the air or raise a forefinger in triumph.

Funnily enough, it involves a manic double-footed challenge on the corner flag.

Anyone sense a pattern emerging here? Petr Cech probably does.

Enough is enough. Mr Mad should instruct his lawyers to slap a writ on Goebbels Holt and his nasty little rag. Won't be the first time they've had to cough up for charity.

[blue_army1871]

A 'violent' goal celebration means he did try and break Cech's head.

Would Steve Sidwell please show some solidarity to his team mate and stop buying The Mirror!

Likewise it might help if we could get a Whitley boycott!

Basically I'm sick of the crap the mirror generally spouts and it's the one paper I will never buy under any circumstances. Journo's like Holt are the reason - lazy writing just to fill space. Let's just all boycott the piece of crap - I don't think we'll suffer much hardship!
(Even better - read about the Reading game in the Sunday Mirror whilst stood in Tesco's then buy the NOTW)

[M4 Junction 11]

Why do the fans still buy the Mirror. You're paying Mr. Holt to write this crap! Don't buy this anti-Reading FC paper!

Absolutely! The answer is ... DON'T BUY IT.

Personally I stopped buying Daily Newspapers on Monday 17th April 1989 after their appalling coverage of Hillsborough - and I haven't missed them in the slightest.

i used to deal with mr holt in a work capacity....an utterly arrogant and conceited tosser

wholly unliked within journalism too

Does he have an email address? I'd quite like to see the club sue him as well.

You could have a pop at him on the forum here

He really is a twat of the highest order.

I tried but posts have to get past a mod so even though I toned down my first draft I don't expect they'll publish it

[M4 Junction 11]

With all the interest in another article he's written he'll probably get journalist of the year again

IGNORE THE OXF*RD!!!!

Some have made it on

Oliver Holt, I'm afraid you are a fool and a very poor journalist.
How does an over-zealous goal celebration prove someone capable of maliciously causing harm to an opponent? It doesn't.
For your information, the mascot and corner flag have managed to pull through their violent ordeals. No further death threats are anticipated.

The FA had a thoroughly good look at the incident and found Hunty innocent of any mal intent.

It light of the recent incidents involving Hunt, it wasn't the best choice of celebration I must say.

It was exactly the right response. I big oxf*rd you to all the twats and a bit of a laugh for anyone who actually has a brain cell to use.

It obviously wasn't the right response as Hunt has gained some more bad press.

With the latest drivel in the Mirror I can feel some more death threats coming on, not as serious as damaging a corner flag or jumping on a mascot granted.....

[Scrappy]

After Murty's goal on the end the season Hunt went to jump on Kingsley and missed, does that mean that he isn't very co-ordinated either and could cause accidental death?

How dare you compare death threats to damaging a corner flag or jumping on a mascot.

we all know that damaging a corner flag and jumping on a mascot are punishable by death...

Sounds like a botched murder attempt, Send him down for attempted murder.
