I've the pleasure of ferrying Ray Houghton to the Airport this weekend. It'll be a red-eye drive (approx 1 hour) -Would appreciate interesting topics to raise with him etc. You know yourself.
Did he feel bad appearing on a rte football show sponsored by the rag? Football wise, was he disappointed to be transferred out Liverpool in his prime?
ask him his honest views on Rafa's reign at the club. I always got the vibe from him be it as a pundit or a commentator that he never took a shine to Rafa. I believe if he were to answer honestly it would be more negative than positive. just my opinion is all.
Ask him why as a member of the team which played at hillsborough did he not properly research who was sponsoring the rte shows he was appearing?? Im fully sure you wont ask him though and will come up with some nice football questions to ask him
Part 1 /2 question. Also ask him why does he and his good friend Ronnie Whelan still sit on the rte panel and both know it is sponsored by that scum of a paper. Whelan was aproached sometime ago about it in Dublin and just laughed it off and ran away.
And you would be correct. I met him about a year ago and he said as much. I can't remember the reasons as there was plenty of booze involved
Hi mate, Ask him does he pay his taxes in Ireland, or abroad ... if he says he pays his taxes abroad then tell him to F.O. and not bother coming back please Then ask him, what has he done to try and help Ireland, during this recession and see what his answer is ... Follow up then by asking what he does for children with special needs, or who reside in deprived areas .... Finally, ask him why he ignored my emails about him working for RTE when they were being sponsorted by that rag ... continue to tell him I've not forgotten this and will get even, if he ever emails me By the time he gets through those four topics, you'll either be having a good oul' natter or else, you'll be ready to dump him on his ar$e and let him walk the rest of the way to where ever your taking him
few good questions there lads i say it could come to blows haha you could secretly tape record his answers and then blackmail him thats what id do anyway ;-)
Good stuff hope you get to have a good chat with him and hes not asleep or on the phone the whole way back
