And here are the ‘cool shades’ again
A hundred people must have texted and emailed me last night to ask what on earth Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando was doing commenting on football on TVM2.
Does he know anything about football? No.
Is he associated with sport or football? No.
Does he have anything interesting or relevant to say about football? No.
He was there because he is an attention-seeking little runt (please don’t call it Small Man Syndrome – Malta is full of short men and only a few of them have this massive problem; the rest are completely normal) and because he has become completely addicted to having his views sought on television and inflicting himself on a wider audience.
And why did TVM invite him along? Who knows. Maybe they think it’s de rigeur. Maybe they couldn’t get anybody else. Maybe they think a dentist’s views on football are absolutely essential to enlighten viewers. Maybe they think he’s entertaining, rather than alienating. And maybe Franco Debono said no, I’m playing with my cocks tonight.

The Labour propaganda machine has no limits. They had ‘il-professur ta’ kollox’ Andrew Azzopardi on an earlier show – what the f*ck does he know about football? But that is the PL – they leave no stone unturned in their pursuit of wall to wall publicity for Taghna Lkoll personalities.
If I’m not mistaken, Azzopardi started off as a PE teacher. Probably that places football among all his other “areas of expertise”.
X’ma timradx bl-istonku!
I was looking forward to see the game yesterday when up pops JPOS (if you say it at one go, it reminds you of a suppository), and that’s precisely what I felt: hruq ta’ stonku.
He didn’t hang around after the game to give us his views. What a jerk.
And Muscat was there too commenting on football, and the man running the show kept reminding us Muscat was there.
“He was there because he is an attention-seeking little runt”
An easy mistake to make Daphne. Surely you meant ‘c*nt’ rather than ‘runt’.
Sunday I was at a wedding and there he was with Lara Boffa. Is she going to be his third wife? Another three years to go and he can get his second divorce.
Seems like he plans to have as many wives as he has Facebook accounts. What was it at the last count – JPO the turd?
Soon enough we’ll have JPO: Back and Fourth
It’s the small manHOOD syndrome.
JPO has a habit to appear suddenly as a journalist. Yesterday, he appeared as a sports journalist. Did he show his registration card as a journalist like he did last time?
Mahruq illum. Tilfulu l-Inglizi.
Never saw red hair greying at the sides.
Can you put up that image of him with the Father Christmas hat on?!
Diva Debono will probably accept to go on air when Italy will be playing. You know, he is a Dottore della Legge and he would have liked to move to Italy had Labour lost the election. Oh, yes, I forgot! He made sure Labour would win. How silly of me.
Daph, you missed the interview with the Prime Minister while JPO was on the World Cup panel. JPO on the panel with Rodney tas-Super 1 and the Prime Minister in his official vest, inflicted on all of us on taxpayer-funded state television. Even the World Cup is being politicized, with our money.
When ONE TV is the main sponsor of the World Cup village, along with Coca Cola and the rest, you’re absolutely right.
We’ll get Bondi +ve next.
We have to acknowledge the fact that we have a bunch of malicious strategists administrating the country.
It seems we can do no more than just bear on.

Seems like Australia has found a way to solve its Rebels problem – export it to Malta. These two appear to be Australian citizens however so they probably can’t be denied re-entry.
And if they leave, we should try to ensure that they are never allowed back in Malta again.
Franco Debono is busy representing Enemalta in the smart meter cases. Another job for tal-qalba.
Birds of a feather. With apologies to Nico.

A man with insecurities galore.
I never knew that Franco has more than one cock. This is news to me.
[Daphne – He has a cabinet full of them, P.]
A cabinet full of them? He’s probably competing with prime minister Joseph Muscat, then.
Burberry – naturally
The worst part was they interview Joseph Muscat about the game and the commentator couldn’t stop singing his praises telling us all what an astute man he is.
Believe me, Daphne, my TV was going to be flung out of the window listening to such drivel.
[Daphne – I wasn’t anywhere near a television so missed all that and had to rely on people’s emails and texts this morning. The funny thing is that the appearance of JPO on their screens upset more people than the PM did. I’m guessing most people conclude that it’s OK to ask the prime minister what he thinks about the game, ma chi e Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando?]
Definitely. Once I remember some journo asked Cameron what he thought of Capello’s sacking as England manager. He astutely replied that the day the no.10 chooses the national team’s manager is a sad day indeed.
well said
The PM can comment just about anything.
He’s an all rounder and becoming more so literally.
http://www.independent.com.mt/articles/2014-06-20/news/nico-the-parrots-prediction-as-good-as-jpos-5544050688/
He has a press card, after all.
Wouldn’t have noticed. The minute the match is over I switch off from TVM and go back to RAI.
The only reason I am watching TVM is watching in HD. Such a bunch of amateur *ankers. Rodney (the one with an untraceable level of IQ) and Sandro (if possible, even lower IQ level than Rodney) can’t even be arsed to check out some of the players’ names before speaking.
Il-vera qatta injoranti….. Ok, got that off my chest.
Now, COME ON ITALY – which is what all English supporters are also saying today, forsi ma tafx kif.
With a 13% chance of qualifying, England are all but out, barring a miracle.
It’s evident that the big stage for English players is not the World Cup or Nations Cup anymore but the Premier League and Champions League…impatiently waiting for August 16th when the real business starts at Anfield vs Southampton.
Looks like everyone’s expendable nowadays.
Maybe they think a dentist’s views on football are absolutely essential to enlighten viewers.
Well, you know Suarez, loves to bite people.
Kif spiċċa JPO !
Can you give me your email address please?
[Daphne – [email protected]]
Micallef u Rodney lanqas jifhmu xejn. Veru brodu. Kemm ghad ghandna injoranti hawn Malta lanqas basic general knowledge ma ghandhom certu nies. Mohhhom biss biex jghamlu il-flus u fil-hmerijiet u cucati u nehlu il-hin f’affarijiet mhux importanti umbaghad ma nafu xejn.
At this point, I think the press should be asking some hard questions about the size of this man’s penis.
Why shouldn’t he be invited? He is such an expert!! He even predicted that the result would be 2-0 for England, (as did all the other guests, except for one who wanted to be different and predicted 2-1 for England) …. so there you go! They are ALL experts!
BTW, I am a supporter of the English team and notwithstanding my wishful thinking, (and the fact that I am no expert), could easily tell that, at best, England could only draw! But I am no “expert” so I don’t get to have my views aired on national tv!
Actually, ignore my previous comment. Silly me! Here it is. Don’t know if you can do anything with it, but it really humanises the situation and brings it as close to home as it is:

That’s why I’m boycotting TVM and I watch NET TV’s Replay World Cup programme which is by far more informative.
Since 1987, while the PN were in government, there were 6 World Cups… Was the Prime Minister ever interviewed during a programme about the World Cup games as Joseph Muscat was yesterday? I don’t think so..
There actually is a connection between JPO and yesterday’s game. JPO is a dentist and so could have been invited to discuss Uruguay’s striker, Suarez, who apart from being the Premier’s league top striker is also notorious for having the habit of occasionally biting a direct opponent.
” I’m playing with my cocks tonight ” .
Daphne, don’t do that to me again – I had a severe asthma attack cos I couldn’t stop laughing hysterically at the picture that comment conjured up ; you almost killed me.
Franco Debono will probably force his way in the studios this evening to enlighten us about Italy’s game against Costa Rica.
On another note, I’m reading the article below and wondering why are all the appointed Labour geriatrics given full time jobs whilst an ultra qualified cardiac specialist is being put on part -time by the civil service.
Having said that this also applies to the Public Service Chief of Staff, he has hit pension age. I believe he should be forced to retire or be reduced to part- time. But I doubt he is going to apply this measure onto himself.
http://www.independent.com.mt/articles/2014-06-20/news/hospital-forces-cardiologist-albert-fenech-to-switch-to-part-time-work-5545820162/
This government has really gone haywire now. Albert Fenech would be a great loss to all his patients.
Is the Minister aware of how many lives Professor Fenech has saved over the years? Always there for his numerous patients, with a smile and a joke never goes amiss. Or has he got someone else to replace him form “Malta taghna lkoll” klikka?
Shame, shame on you Labour. Ghira bazwijja biss ghandkom.
