Ipswich Goal Celebration - front of the Daily Mirror

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

If he was really making a statement about his drunk driving mate then he should have mimed drinking a bottle of vodka then held a pretend steering wheel and run in a zig zag stylee up the pitch and "crashed into the family enclosure.

Penis.

 

[CHAPPERS]

edit; Cahills WAS for his brother, who had just been sent down, wasn't it?

Yep.

 

[Mendoza]

Idiot Brett. The YAK is doing PAPILLION, not HANDCUFFS.

I forgot to add a apologies


Maybe we should all write to ITV to complain for allowing the Championship to show it as it is offensive to all families of victims of drunk driving road accidents

 

[El Presidente]

How very CARING of the Mirror to phone up the mother to get a quote from her though. What Norris did was unnecessary, but does it warrant being on the front page of a scabloid paper, or are they just shit stirring for a change.

Cahills brother just went down for Robbery I think I remember hearing, don't think he killed anyone.

 

[JJ McClure]

And she demanded club officials axe the 26-year-old player for his appalling gesture that was witnessed by nearly 8,000 stunned fans.

What a crock of shit. It was probably witnessed by 8,000 who didn't have a clue at the time, and even now probably couldn't care less. Stunned fans my arse.

 

[Mendoza]

As I said, I added those pictures but forgot to add a jester sign.

I dont for one minute condone this type of behaviour BUT there is nowhere that is explaining what Norris did.

If it was to show his support for McCormick, then yes it was an idiotic thing to do, but at the moment, everyone one here is just ASSUMING that is what he was doing and villifying him and starting a bandwaggon rolling, for no apparent reason*

If it wasn't for the Daily Mirror, then she wouldn't have even known anything about it?

How hypercritical are they?

Exactly El Pres

Thicko. Shit paper. No need to fire him.

One thing being wrong doesn't automatically make the other right.

The media are shit stirring. David Norris is a div.

Oh right then, because robbery is okay innit.

yes those 7000 people who saw would probably not have noticed either if it wasnt for the Tabloid Scum Journos.


f***ing hell I am no fan but that is lunacy to say doing it in front of an entire football crowd would have gone unnoticed without the press's intervention.

 

[El Presidente]

This is her actual quote from the BBC

"Fair enough, you're going to show your support, go to prison to see him, write him letters, make phone calls to him, but don't do things like that.

"We're trying hard not to hate Luke McCormick at the moment, but people like David Norris are making it very difficult to do that."

Not quite what the Mirror said is it?

 

[Bozza]

I heard about this for the first time on 5 Live this morning. They did indeed highlight...

i) Seemingly no-one at the game thought any ill of the celebration, so making no connection with the McCormick incident.

ii) No fan messageboards (which they described as a barometer for feeling) had any mention of it at all.

...until the newspaper article this morning.

They did also say that Norris had revealed it was a private 'message' for a friend. So nothing to do with X Factor it seems.

which translates to

Fair enough, you're going to show your support, go to prison to see him, write him letters, make phone calls to him, and do things like that you complete animal, you make me sick. You should be banned from football forever and give your wages to me.

We hate Luke McCormick at the moment, and always will for the rest of my life. People like David Norris are making it very easy to do that.

When questioning what Norris did, the Mirror article is completely irelevant. Of course the Mirror are shit-stirring - that's what the tabloids do - but what they said doesn't negate what he did, which was completely out-of-order.

Your original post was nothing to do with the Mirror's dubious role in this - you implied that what Norris did was OK and the woman was wrong. As you will have seen, the majority of posters on this thread do not agree with you.

 

[Djmiles]

Yes because that's exactly what I implied.
