Very witty? Jesus H Christ,I can see you're not well-read. His column is basically a list of primary school jokes, then some not even disguised seething about anyone higher up the table than LFC, then some awful tipping the guy is just about the luckiest man alive, a complete wank-stain who has somehow landed a cushy job talking **** and being awful at his professed 'career'. |

It's Spain v Portugal tonight and we know how it will pan out.
Portugal won't get out of their own half, Spain won't get out of first gear and Ronaldo won't stop looking in the mirror. Ronaldo is favourite to be voted player of the tournament, despite being invisible for the first half of it. The Portuguese ladyboy had a stellar season with Real Madrid, where he scored a zillion goals and that takes some doing because that Stella's strong stuff. There's no greater admirer Ronaldo than Ronaldo but he has a track record - in fact a flat-track record - of going missing when stakes are highest and I won't hear of defeat for Spain tonight. The holders are 10-11 to win in 90 minutes and I will be surprised if they don't. Hills offer 7-2 for Spain to have more than 65 per cent of possession tonight and I'm all over that like a man possessed. What an absolute mug he is.talks nothing but bóllox. |

a man possessed by the desire to spunk money.

i happen to know derek very well and had the pleasure of working with him too
he is very witty, imo, and a very original and a decent guy with a good wife sure his tips are mainly poor but he's one of the best tabloid journalists i've read i really don't get where all this invective - and worse - comes from if you're losing, don't take it out on Del Boy. (see you at the Amex, me old mucker!) |
|
By:
well get your own column in a national newspaper then & give your TIPS!!! out on a daily basis.....! We are all good AFTER the event SLAGS !!!
|
|
By:
I'm sure he is a very nice chap.
But if you can't laugh at a tipster spunking money, who can you? |
|
By:
ffs derek, how many accounts have you got?

Lets keep a full record from now... Level stake tenners he starts at 0-2 -£20
He lost on some mug tennis player last week but tbf we wont count it as he probably stumbled across a winner in the meantime.... Even that World cup Octopus could give better tips imo. |

By:
layed spain 90 mins because of derek today.. cheers for the profits as usual derek you clueless mug
|

By:
I have a feeling over a season he would double your bank by opposing him....
Its a bit fishy how most of his bets are a BP with W Hills who he works for |

By:
Some very sad, jealous individuals on here. I'll happily rail against the imposters and inadequates who regularly clog up the top jobs within our sporting media, if they're not up to it and are deserving of criticism. Tommo being no1 on the hit lit, but McGovern doesn't deserve such scorn.

viva el presidente!
02 Jun 11 17:16 Joined: 10 Jun 06 | Topic/replies: 12,875 | Blogger: viva el presidente!'s blog you see, the objection to mcgovern isn't that he's always wrong - amusing though it is when he hits a particularly bad run. it's just that he epitomises the smug mediocrity of the media old boy network. he's a guesser with a load of (mostly very old) jokes, and somehow this entitles him to a very well paid job. that pretty much anyone could do just as well for a tenth of the money. I bought a dog from the ironmonger. First thing he did when I got him home was make a bolt for the back door! Get on the draw in the Austria Germany match tomorrow at 9/2. Can I have my 500 quid now please? ----------------- my opinion of degsy remains unchanged. |

i promise you, having been a journalist for many years myself (though more of a broadsheet type persuasion than derek) the job he does could not be done by anyone, indeed he does it to a very high level and very few could do it as well as he
(i do agree his tips are moderate) |

By:
It's the main hobby of this forum, that is laughing at tipsters
who, one way or another lose overall, even to the point of sniping at one at one particular tipster who actually shows a profit year after year. |

--------- okay, explain what's hard about it. he gets an old joke, then he sticks a random tip after it. to which the joke has no apparent connection. where exactly does the magic lie? |
