"Useless" prepared to draw a line under Paddy-Gate
Friday, 24th Aug 2012 23:16

It is very rare we associate Mark Hughes and common-sense, but the QPR boss appears to be happy to let the Paddy Kenny txt saga come to a conclusion now that Leeds have been "made aware" of the situation....along with the Daily Mail, the Independent, The Sun etc....

Kenny alledgedly sent texts to QPR Chairman Tony Fernandes and Director of Football Mike Rigg mocking the R's 5-0 hammering against Swansea last week, that eternal bastion of decency the Daily Mail even reprinted one which basically Kenny portrayed the role of his replacement Rob Green's agent - I honestly cannot be bothered to regurgitate it word for word but it is on their website if you must.

The Mail also suggested the matter would go as high up as the FA if they were dissatisfied with Leeds response. Neil Warnock gave the matter a cursory mention in his Thursday press-conference which basically said it was an "internal matter" as the club had an internal policy on social networking. When Simon Grayson was in charge Twitter was banned, but a handful of players such as Kenny and recently departed Robbie Rogers do use it.

Kenny has also recently tweeted that QPR were a "tin pot club" and the loathsome Mail could not resist hyperbole about the failed drug-tests and Halifax curry house brawl....zzzzzzz

Man to man, most of us have done something similar, usually in jest often in drink, I remember once taunting a "one night stand" I met in a Stoke on Trent bar that she resembled the Portuguese transsexual Big Brother winner Nadia. Given that I was in Spain at the time and very drunk I awoke to a sore head and no credit left on my mobile.

If Paddy was drunk, there is no suggestion he was, then that would bother me. I am also a little disappointed he was not euphoric about our triumph over Wolves and not to mention the tremendous reception he has received from the Leeds fans since leaving London, why should he care what is happening in West London?

It seems the victims were also happy to conduct the matter through the media?

Maybe it was a bit of banter? Who knows? the final word should go to "old useless" himself.

Mark Hughes said "It does not go anywhere from here. There was some text messages and telephone messages....We felt they were inappropriate, we did not make a formal complaint....it was just two individuals"

Yep you ate my words here. For the whole episode I have just one view, in Tweets they are personal and should be judge as it is. No way Paddy was texting as a member of LUFC. If some person feels his/her privacy has been offended then there is legal processes to handle that problem. It was kind of a interesting realise that if a player has "dirty leeds" player presence then there is the Whites to blame. London press etc. This was just a storm in a water glass. Salute to MH to clear the whole BS. Tare
