Journalist in Qatar makes another Saudi ‘joke’ at Newcastle’s expense – It’s getting silly now…

Isn’t it ironic when a journalist currently lapping it up in Qatar – an area known for it’s awful human rights record – constantly pokes fun at Newcastle United due to its newfound links with Saudi Arabia.

After previously claiming that the Bigg Market would’ve been bouncing after Saudi Arabia won their World Cup opener last week, Ollie Holt – The Mail Chief Sports Writer – was at it again last night.

Despite being at Stadium 974 to cover Argentina’s Group C decider against Poland, the journalist decided to tweet about the Saudi kit worn in their Wednesday night clash with Mexico, stating “Why are Saudi Arabia playing in Newcastle’s third kit?”

As stated in the title, it really is getting a bit silly now. We understand that, from time to time, there is a need to shine a light on Saudi Arabia and the ownership of Newcastle United, but when will the childish tweets end? To say he’s coming across obsessed is an understatement now, especially when this was something he felt the need to tweet just as a dramatic night of World Cup action was unfolding.

Here’s a few examples of his bizarre behaviour on Twitter, starting with last night’s tweet:

  1. Poor. Still searching for relevance and redemption.
    Relevance because his hypocritical ramblings and mid life crisis haircut just make him look like a fool. He laps up all that the vile Qatari regime has to offer while hammering the equally vile Saudis , no double standards there then.
    You can’t redeem your actions by accepting Qatari hospitality by attacking the Saudis.
    If your concern was real you wouldn’t be there.

  2. Oh what a sad sad little man. How he is referred to as the chief sports writer just shows how low the Daily Mail has sunk gutter press with a so called journalist who obviously must have something on those above him.
