Is it normal that whenever I read a Damien Barrett article I want to punch his face repeatedly?

[chelseacarlton]

How do you even know these people's names? I had to Google them. Won't ever get that time back.

Well, it certainly doesn’t surprise me that I know things that you don’t, that was always a given.
What does surprise is though, that you believe a few minutes of your time gaining knowledge is above you, actually, no, that doesn’t surprise me either.

 

[GudOnya]

To be fair, some of what he writes does have some merit. Like why on earth would you meet up with SOS in Carlton, only to eat fish and chips?

To talk about the hotel you both co-own?

Yeah probably haha. In all honesty though I do think he’s just a * with nothing else to write about.. why else would he be writing about the Lions apparent impending finals appearance halfway through the season lol.. he needs to scrap his silly sliding doors article

 

[Kabanna]

Calling an ump a 'bald flog' is too much these days - should have just stuck with flog.

If Mathew Nicholls ever hears the s**t I call him, I’ll be banned for life

He is a massive flog, I'm just gonna melt ridiculously if Lyin ends up at Carlton so really want it to just be about the hotel.

I can skip the article and still get the same feeling, does that make me a bad person?

I highly doubt that you reading the article would improve his s**t journalism, so, no it doesn’t.

If I was Gill ...
Then there is zero chance I would be apologising. No reason to. For way too long, extreme-poor, boorish, aggressive, plain wrong behaviour has been tolerated in the crowds. Over to you, Joffa.

Now we see exactly where the little ratfaced sh*tstain's loyalties lie - with the AFL of course, despite the pretense he puts up of being "tough" on them.

The first half of this bottom-feeder's article is concerned with speaking glowingly about someone connected with the Swans, which Barrett's been doing his entire career since he knows who butters his bread. Then we get his take on the fan recently evicted from the MCG for calling Umpire Nicholls a "bald-headed flog":





I love how this spineless hack first makes a token effort to argue both sides so he can't be accused of bias, despite most of us knowing he's an AFL mouthpiece with Gill's tentacles so far up his arse he ****s polo balls, and sure enough right after that he tells the plebs in the stands to STFU and deal with it whatever moral decree the AFL in its infinite wisdom issues.

"We're just going to have to cop it" isn't even attempting to soften the blow (its also cute how he uses "we" when he REALLY means "you people") but does make the point bluntly enough for the working classes to grasp it which is surely his goal. The obvious question to ask is what gives Damien Barrett moral authority to determine the rights of members & attendees in the first place, or perhaps does he ever feel like a hypocrite by calling out others for voicing inflammatory opinions when he makes a sleazy living from his own?

Shut your mouth farrrrrrrkstick Damo is elite and Sliding Doors is the greatest football feature going right now.

I get the urge to put on my old army boots and kick the haired flog repeatedly in the balls.

Please do.
And video it, so we can all have it looped, playing in the background, to make us remember there is joy in the world.

No, it doesn’t sound normal at all.

Bosk is unhinged these days.

Incitement to violence against journalists

And on the one hand, it's "Waaah, the AFL won't let me swear and carry on like a campaigner at games" then the next thing you know there's punches being thrown and beers getting poured on people (and not for the first time recently)
How about we all just calm down a little?

Please note Mr Battler "Umpire you are follically challenged and you are disliked because you have no credibility" that should cut the umpire to the quick.

Damian Barrett responds after Tim Watson’s stunning ‘The Voice of Treason’ swipe

AFL journo responds after Bombers great’s stunning ‘The Voice of Treason’ swipe

www.foxsports.com.au

First time I'd ever sided with Tim Watson. Perfect summary of Barrett.

“I just have this to say about ‘The Voice of Treason’ – and that’s who he’ll be known as henceforth. This ‘holier than thou’ attitude towards journalism, but is inconsistent in the true values of journalism,” This is how I see it: He holds biases, he holds petty grudges, he loses his balance – which is a fundamental plank, I think, of journalism. I know he thinks I know nothing about it, but I think it is what journalism is all about,” Watson told SEN Breakfast.

“Now what this episode has taught me and informed me – and I think everybody else out there that didn’t already know – is that he is beholden to the AFL.

I hate anyone who doesn't want to immediately punch this flog in the face.
