Bertie and Eric, the perfect match

So Ken Loach has a new film out with Eric Cantona in it. There was a premier here in Dublin which saw Bertie Ahern and his brother Maurice, who just happens to be running in the Dublin Central by-election, turn up and give Cantona a Dublin shirt with his name on it.

Fairly shameless, you have to say, and Loach said afterwards:

He tried to take advantage of the fact that Eric would not know who he was meeting and yet he managed to get a photograph of his brother so his brother could bask in the reflected glory of Eric Cantona. I just thought it was cheap and I hope that people saw through it.

Now, as much as I enjoy someone taking that poxy little shop-steward and his halfwit brother to task, what is this about the reflected glory of Eric Cantona?

For me Cantona = flying kick into the crowd at Selhurst Park (which was quite brilliant really) and someone who got found out whenever United played in Europe, then retired early because it was all too difficult.

He was an up his own arse, self-important, collar-turned-up, cuntbag and probably still is. In fact, now that he is an actor he’s probably worse than he was when he was a footballer.

So Bertie and Maurice reflecting in the glory of a complete cunt seems rather appropriate to me.

    In an interview with Newstalk’s Tom Dunne, Loach later described Mr Ahern as a “rather dodgy right-wing politician”.

    Good stuff, Kenneth

    think cuntona and roach are a bit too late – shaolin soccer came out ages ago

  5. Twenty Major says:

    Good goal all right, doesn’t mean he wasn’t a cunt though

    Yeah, although you can’t really blame them. I’d rather eat my own deep fried bollocks than watch that.

    What is this? Twenty mellowing towards the Aherns ? Of course we can blame them – we have to blame them!

    Must be heatstroke.

  8. Twenty Major says:

    No, I just mean that I wouldn’t watch that fillum.

  9. PattheRat says:

    Didnt Ken Roach come out with some quote afterwards like “the further a monkey climbs up a tree the more of his arse you can see”. Halfwits like this coz it rhymes even some tools in the Irish Times.

  10. Peadar says:

    I hate Cantona so much I can’t put it into words.
    I’d love to see him tied up with sardines stuck all over his body so that seagulls could very slowly pick him to death.

  11. Mark Walsh says:

    I also saw on RTÉ news that Bertie called Cantona one of the best midfielders United had. Am I wrong in thinking he was actually more of a forward?

    Anyway, the majority of United fans regard Cantona as a legend. And there are a lot of United fans in Ireland. There’s the logic behind this whole thing.

  12. maggot says:

    People have accused me of being bitter, twisted and cynical but as far as I’m concerned Cunt is the default setting for humanity.

  13. Blazing says:

    there are a lot of United fans in Ireland.

    …and the rest of the cunts are in Kent and Cornwall.

    I take it Cuntona does not have a speaking part, if you’ll pardon the expression?

  14. DD says:

    Surely there aren’t people out there who are so moronic that they could be influenced in how they will vote because of this stunt?

  15. DD says:

    If only…

  16. Holemaster says:

    DD, all they see is:

    Bertie, The Dubs, Cantona, Deadly.

    Where was the shirt bought ?

    Who bought the shirt ?

    Who paid for the shirt ?

    Was it paid for in euro or sterling or God forbid a ‘cheque’ ?

    Was it presented on behalf of FF, on his own behalf, on his brother’s behalf or did he present it on our behalf ?

    Was the shirt made in Ireland ?

    etc etc etc

  18. Hubris says:

    did you ever actually see him play in real life? did you ever actually see him play anywhere else but on TV?
    My guess is you didn’t or you would not have said what you said.

    I’m no ManU fan, but I could see what all the hype was about when I saw him play in real life. He was so far ahead of all others on the pitch in terms of reading the game,

    I realise this post was more intended to call attention to Ahearn and his idiot brudders cuntiness, but still . . . .

  19. Holemaster says:

    Read the game? It’s not chess.

  20. Twenty Major says:

    Plus he was a cunt.

  21. Brian Boru says:

    The shirt was (sort of) paid for on one of those blank cheques (OF OUR MONEY!!!!) that conniving lapdog Bertie signed for his Fuerher Charlie on his way to Charvet shirts in Paris, and the very allied + ALL LIED IRISH BANK are busy for the next millenium trying to co-incide the multiple transaction foreign exchange receipt with whichever memory version of events that Bartholemew decides to arbitrarily hop in and out of.
