I love Todd Carney. No local news service could hope for a better headline grabber.

Today the Age fills in a few details.

It seems Todd got into his latest strife for pissing on the HEAD of Dane Tilse’s mate:

    “Carney was accused of urinating on the head of a patron during a post-match drinking binge”

We have no right to ask for anything more. No right at all. Stand down Trooper Carney, your work is done and much appreciated.

But our mate Todd goes above and beyond the call of duty:

    ‘”There was an incident in December where he grabbed one of our patrons on the breast,” nightclub co-owner Andrew Kenny told The Australian newspaper.

    “As a result we fielded a complaint and we asked our security to move him on.

    “We asked the customers if they wanted to take it any further and they said no.’

Todd Carney I salute you!

A salacious media could ask for no gift greater than you.

(Songwriters take note)

UPDATE: The Crimes reports that Todd is thinking he might want to join Gaz and Sonny Bill in France where the media will be less interested in his indiscretions (but you’re more likely to get knifed when you pee on their heads Todd).

And I can’t help but notice the august journal has managed to mis-spell its own name.

> Greater indiscretions are perpetrated by individuals in lesser spotlight

I’m sure….& we think of them as scum also.

Running from the police, driving disqualified, barking at women, pissing on people’s heads.

All things I never did in a thoroughly disreputable youth.

G-Fresh: these guys have the privilege that so many other guys would kill for. with that come responsibility as role models. They cannot go around acting like animals!

Too much pressure on these lads to be leaders. Greater indiscretions are perpetrated by individuals in lesser spotlight

Getting back to the subject,if you listen to last Sundays’ “This Sporting Life” Roy & HG have a very amusing take on the boy. You can dowload it from Triple J or itunes.

“The Canberra Tines – Sticking a fork into the big issues”

L

And bugalugs jumps the shark.

Editorial policy was not the subject of this discussion.

Queries to john@the-riotact.com

So according to johnboy he can heap shit on everyone and everything he wants in this town but can’t handle a little criticism himself

This is efefctively an internet forum – call it any media experiemnt you want, it is an internet forum/blog with commentators

You can’t be that precious and thin skinned that you can’t handle an opposing view

“Copying and pasting a real journalists article then adding in a few snide remarks does not make you a journalist dear johnboy”

It works for Miranda Devine.

Peter thanks for the support but you’re following him OT and we’re not debating me in this thread.

State of the Riot comes out Friday and you can all knock yourselves out then.

is there a reason that you keep going after JB?

I have got to ask. there are far more interesting posts to throw your 5c in at.

And who said he is a journo? he is an E D I T O R – have to spell it, so it sinks in. Strangely, they edit things, fairly certain this involves cutting and pasting, and considering that you haven’t posted any articles yet, why not?

or are you worried that the article will be cut and pasted into other articles?

or perhaps they aren’t fit to publish…. and need to be edited.

Last warning Bugalugs.

A quote from the Age:

Canberra chief executive Don Furner confirmed he knew of the incident but said the complaint was withdrawn.

It seems to be quite a pattern of complaints being “withdrawn” or someone changing their story etc.

Or it is just me?

Golden showers and water sports all round I say!

Who’s for hot lunch?!

Wide Boy Jake9:35 am 30 Jul 08

Um, why was his head near Todd’s appendage in the first place?

neanderthalsis9:29 am 30 Jul 08

Urinated on his head?

If he did it from a standing start while drunk, that is a considerable feat. Most men have poor aim and control after a few ales. It must be one of the benefits of being a highly trained professional sportsman.

But seriously folks, pissing on people, groping strangers, a total disregard for the law and civilised society; the man is verminous scum.

”There was an incident in December where he grabbed one of our patrons on the breast”

I wonder if he barked at the patron before the grab, during or after?

Was it a female patron, or another footballer with man-boobs. I know how much footballers like grabbing each others crotch, arse and other regions. Not to mention dressing up like women. The losers on the footy show never seemed to get bored of cross-dressing.

Growling Ferret8:50 am 30 Jul 08

Wow, what a story of youthful indiscretion! If every kiddy who had ever gone the sly grope got kicked out of pubs and clubs, the Private Bin would have been near empty at midnight every Saturday night…

No, he can’t drink. Bob could.

Amazing how these additional claims arise AFTER a large scale public effort.

Truly amazing

On the next RiotACT bicycle bar crawl we intend to inaugurate the Carney cup for the greatest urinary distance. All these questions will be answered when the daylight savings returns.

So, was Dane Tilse’s mate lying down, or does Todd have extraordinary bladder muscles capable of a standing headshot?
