This weekend BBC had Kellie Maloney predicting the football scores on BBC Sport. It’s part of a series with Chris Sutton and each week guests are invited to predict the Premiership scores. I personally found this weeks choice of guest particularly repulsive. Kellie is someone who has been violent towards his ex-wife. It is a well known fact that a team loosing is often a trigger for a man’s violence towards their partners and children. And the BBC chose someone who has committed violence towards his wife to choose the scores??? Of all the people out there who support football they chose Kellie Maloney ??? Why? What on earth was the thought process behind this???

Oh, oops, this article has a different slant:

'Maloney’s second wife Tracey, the biggest victim of Kellie’s middle-aged attempts to shore up her identity as “Frank”, is unsurprisingly still angry, if understanding. Her three daughters also air their ambivalence; they continue to call her “Dad”.'

Heartwarming in the end, though, I'm sure as wee Frank gets over his murderous woman-hating rage to get the plastic surgery he always knew in his wee golden heart was his birthright.

Och, you strangle your ex wife once and everyone keeps banging on about it.

Miss Maloney is a cause celebre, feted by police and the media! Why do you women keep kvetching about a wee bit of domestic violence?!

'The former Marden pub landlady was mentioned in an article in The Sunday Times yesterday, which referred to an incident in 2005, when she strangled her ex-wife.
Miss Maloney said: "It's an incident we laugh about now."'

'Me and ex laugh at strangling incident'

Kellie Maloney has spoken out over an article highlighting her violent past.

I'm afraid I know nothing about football or this particular incident, but if what you are saying is true, it's APPALLING that any man convicted or suspected of hitting a woman is allowed to put his pov on anything.
