Off the Ball crew gone from Newstalk.

Arragh can we not just enjoy what she achieved last night without turning it into a political statement? The only poster I’ve seen bring this up in the last few days are those purporting to defend her.

correct me if i’m wrong here, m8, but aren’t you the poster who had a cut off the hillsborough 97 after yanited got spanked 7-0 by liverpool?
 
Most of the tweets hammering Hannon look to be from profiles that would agree with Kellie's tweet, so I doubt he's going to lose any sleep over it. But given his own social media history, I'd say he wished he had never asked her about the tweet in the first place. It's pretty sad if your first inclination after a great Irish Olympic moment is to go rage tweeting a no-mark radio presenter about an interview from early last year.

Nailed it.
 
He got exactly what he deserved m8.

His hatchet job and the subsequent pile on could have ended her career.
Why would it have ended her career? The tweet was already out there for a while, people had seen it and she was on there that morning as a brand ambassador for Spar. It clearly hadn't done her career any harm. If she had handled the interview better, that would have been the end of it. As it was, she had a few days of people commenting about it online and then the majority of people moved on. We're not going to agree on this clearly, but I honestly don't see what the big issue was with the question being asked by Hannon. If she didn't want anyone to ask her about then maybe she shouldn't have tweeted it in the first place. Or at least deleted it on reflection.
