The Boofon Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 That's a proper moment. It appeared on Ab-Mad about a year ago I think. He's a character is Mackie. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 SURELY this has been made up. Nope. If you type Darren Mackie into google the third auto complete choice is Darren Mackie Reading Champion. It's been doing the rounds for quite a while. Link to comment
Dynamo Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Jesus fuck. Reading Champions Darren Mackie "I don't read books....." Link to comment
Mouse Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 He's as much a reading champion as he is a goal scoring champion! Link to comment
paddy Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 That just CANNOT be serious! LOL Link to comment
Dandie1992 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 He certainly can read the game like a reading champion Link to comment
Ke1t Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Apparently it IS serious... ...at this point I can't even get my head around what I just read. His favourite book is The Lord of the Rings, but he hasn't read the book, just seen the film. So based upon seeing the film he rationalises that The Lord of the Rings is his favourite book. ... I'm trying to think of something sarcastic to say, but right now I'm just trying to effectively process that information. This could take a while. In the meantime here's something to keep you occupied until I can make sense of the universe once more.... Link to comment
Bobby Connor Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 This is pretty old. It's more cringeworthy than funny. Someone never did their research ahead of appointing Mackie 'reading champion'. Link to comment
minijc Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 He has a point, right I love Dexter the tv show so i imagine it would be one of my favourite books if i read it. Link to comment

minijc Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 It's about 2 years old, shows the record for what they are, covering this just proves that they are a joke. Link to comment
amancalledbuck Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 It's about 2 years old, shows the record for what they are, covering this just proves that they are a joke. It was in the Guardian last week and all over the Internet. Nice one, roidie. Link to comment
minijc Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 It was in the Guardian last week and all over the Internet. Nice one, roidie.Still, second time around, not as funny as the first, I missed it in the 'G' keen reader of that fantastic paper. Link to comment
Stoney Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 i dont see why the paper shoudnt print it? ridiculous lack of intelligence Indeed, and the only grammar you bothered to use in your post was not required. Intelligence indeed. Link to comment
Crossbow Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 As ever it is all about the competition - he may well be the reading champion in his category - he at least knows what a book is (or what to avoid - is it thicker than a magazine? - put back on shelf) and the name of one. Thank goodness he hadn't just seen a Lara Croft movie - it could've been worse. Link to comment
Stoney Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I meant punctuation, but while you mention it your grammars pish to. Link to comment

fatshaft Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Now made the TV news. Poor dazzler. Link to comment
Dandyesque Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Now made the TV news. Poor dazzler. Correct - I feel sorry for him. All he's agreed to do is tell local kids that they should make an effort to read more - for their benefit, not his - and he's been made into a national laughing stock. Most other folk would have actually read a book - but it would have been by Dan Brown, which is just as bad as not reading in the first place. Link to comment
wilm1542 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Yahoo include Darren Mackie in their Sports quotes of the week haha! Got a picture of the Dazzler too http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/world-of-sport/article/77751/ Link to comment
