Older post[edit]

"Houghton is now in demand as a pundit on the game, working for outlets such as RTÉ in Ireland and talkSPORT and Sky Sports in the UK where he is the most annoying little tosspot commentator ever to speak on television. RTE have ruined their unbeatable studio panelist line-up of Johnny Giles, Eamon "Tired and Emotional" Dunphy and Liam "Chippy" Brady by employing Ray Houghton. On May 9th 2006 he famously compared one of Irelands greatest players Roy Keane to Jason McAteer "Roy Keane and Jason McAteer were two great players for Ireland"."

Not sure, but I think this may not be neutral.

I don't know, that Keane comment is quite annoying, and he is a little guy. Maybe if he changed tosspot?

Libellous? Slanderous? Defamatory?[edit]

Under Ray Houghton entry

In August 2006, he made a very true comment about Ashley Cole, calling him a liar. Ashley Cole is a liar and all Arsenal fans are pleased to see the back of that lying scumbag.
