To dislike Brian McFadden

There's a quote from him in this DM article where he says:

'They [the kids] have got really terrible northern, Manchester accents. They're really common because of where they live and who they live with.?

AIBU to think that it's just not on to criticise your children- or anyone's children, really- like that? Personal feelings about accents/ "common-ness" (blergh) aside. Imagine how they will feel when they read that some day.

Sounds like he's buggered off to somewhere more glamorous and now regards his old life, and his old family, as beneath him. Not on.

Yanbu class a bell piece. I cannot for the life of me understand why people like this make it public. We don't live in the Stone Age it's easy to look things up and comments never disappear. I feel so sorry for those little girls.

Whatsdoneisdoneisdone · 06/03/2013 09:05

He's a prick. He looks like a self satisfied slug with a beard.

I can't believe anyone likes him.

CelticPixie · 06/03/2013 10:08

He's a shithead. A crap father who should probably be castrated to to prevent him ever breeding again.

I think he is to blame for a lot of Kerrys's problem as well. She had a very troubled upbringing but found happiness and stability with Brian and then he went and buggered off to Australia to shack up with some tart from Neighbours. He broke her heart.

MarmaladeTwatkins · 06/03/2013 11:14

Oh YANBU. He is just a very poor excuse of a man.

Kerry stuck with him through his fat minger years then he loses a few pounds and grows a shit beard and off he fucks with someone else. That is pretty low but hey ho, people leave their spouses because they've fallen for someone else. Happens every day. But what is inexcusable is slagging off your own kids and slagging off the other parent who is present, whatever her misgivings.

He is a prick. A BIG PRICK.

AmberNectarine · 06/03/2013 11:34

Can someone email this thread to his PR people? He might learn a thing or two. Agree he is a complete and utter cockbag.

Slagging your ex off in public is bad form but slagging your kids off is the work of a real bottom-feeder.

The rest of Westlife must be falling about laughing at him comparing himself to Robbie. What a wanker!

lolaflores · 06/03/2013 11:47

COCKBAG, superb. Is there a language on the face of the planet to describe the moral line he has gaily leaped over?
He said what he missed most in australia was "having the banter in the pub with the lads then popping into the bookes for a quick bet"
Not, funnily his children even getting a look in there.
Thought bookies were common though. Ones turf accountant is much classier.
He is punting a new album or some shit..."THe Irish Connection"
I mean....what is that even...what!!! He doesn't even live there anymore.
THE IRISH CONNECTION
Is that like the french connection but not talent, style or wit?
I remember that footage of those twats on the late late....even I couldn;t watch him lumbering around with the rest of them.
But, yes. COCKBAG. yes.

Thumbwitch · 06/03/2013 11:49

Just read the rest of the thread.

Jellybeans - his image here is none too hot, either - he's far too up his own arse and the afore-mentioned bromance with Kyle Sandilands hasn't done him any favours. Reading the tweets about him while he was on Australia's Got Talent suggested that he's about as popular as a bucket of cold sick. BUt then he was only tolerated here while he was with Delta Goodrun - now that's dead in the water, he's just so much useless flesh hanging around the place.

He is touring here as a support act to Ronan Keating - and we noticed the other day that their concert most local to us (second biggest city in NSW) has been cancelled. We snorted and sniggered and reckoned it was due to lack of sales! (but we don't know, it's only speculation)

Snazzynewyear · 06/03/2013 11:52

Utter cock. I feel very sorry for his daughters. Don't really understand what Delta Goodrem ever saw in him (or any other woman come to that).

MarmaladeTwatkins · 06/03/2013 11:57

I've just listened to that "Drunk In The Bar" song.

WTF?! I would have laughed at it if the lyrics weren't so ominous. It is surely up there with Alex Reid "The Reidinator"s Stardust.

MarmaladeTwatkins · 06/03/2013 11:58

And Gazza's "Geordie Boys"

DesperatelySeekingSedatives · 06/03/2013 12:00

I think I watched a documentry a few years ago featuring KK and her brood (as well as her second awful choice of husband!) and thought all of her children came across very well, despite the chaos that surrounded them. They were all sweet natured, well mannered children and the eldest (Molly?) was an absolute sweetheart.

So maybe I should take back my comments about KK being a knob? Despite her demons shes managed to raise (ok with the help of nannies!) 4 lovely children. With zero help from their useless dads. Brian McNoBrain should be proudly puffing out his chest when talking about his lovely daughters. Not talking about feeling embarrassed by how their accents sound Hmm Sad

Cherriesarelovely · 06/03/2013 12:23

UGH. Horrible man.

AllYoursBabooshka · 06/03/2013 12:25

FFS! I just made the mistake of looking at those lyrics Marmalade (Or Marm-O-Lad as that's how I say it in my head)

It's a Christmas ball of flashing lights.
You're the nights bright wonder.
Your sex comes crashing into sight,
Breathing lustful thunder.

Her sparkly sex comes crashing into sight? Is he talking about a Vajazzle? Confused

I agree that Brian is to blame for kerry's problems. she'd had a rough childhood with no love and a drug addicted mother. then brian swans in, leaves her with two kids and fucks off not only breaking her heart but issuing character assassinations on her !!!! That must have been like a formula to BREAK her. She was held together with sticky tape.

Poor Kerry. Well, I hope that she keeps the wankery men out of her life and marches to the beat of her own drum. No.more.wankers.Kerry.

AnyaKnowIt · 06/03/2013 12:37

Do you think we could get him on to do a webchat?

SherbetVodka · 06/03/2013 12:37

Didn't he slag Kerry off about one of her daughters weight?

Oh I really hope that's not true as it could be quite damaging for a young girl to know that her dad's publicly said that she's got a weight problem. Very insensitive of him if he did say this :(

MarmaladeTwatkins · 06/03/2013 12:38

It is a cringefest isn't it, Babooshka? I am actually cringeing!

"Oh yeah, here we go again.
Everybody looking at you, looking like a ten.
All messed up no place to go.
Flirting on the dance floor,
putting on a show .
So far you're killing at the bar,
getting really trashed
still looking like a star.
Even if you go too far
I love you just the way you are."

CRRRRRRRRRRRRRRINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGE.

AllYoursBabooshka · 06/03/2013 12:52

I just cannot believe that no one turned to him and said in all seriousness...

"Brian, this song is really shit. You're a Ballbag and shouldn't be allowed near a recording studio"

He's had four albums of CRRRRRRRRRIIINGGEEE.

LadyBeagleEyes · 06/03/2013 12:55

Has he really had 4 albums.
Did any of them sell any copies?
And whatever happened to Delta?

MarmaladeTwatkins · 06/03/2013 12:57

Four?! WTAF???

Has he self-funded them or something? I am so embarrassed for him. They read like lyrics that a 14 year old scrawls in the back of his English folder when he is daydreaming about being a popstar instead of doing what he should be doing.

AllYoursBabooshka · 06/03/2013 12:59

Yes, four! I can't imagine who buys them.

As for Delta I assume she woke up one day, realised she was engaged to Brian McFadden then ran away screaming.

I can't abide the man.

He's a talentless meat-puppet.

MarmaladeTwatkins · 06/03/2013 13:07

"As for Delta I assume she woke up one day, realised she was engaged to Brian McFadden then ran away screaming"

Grin

Poor Delta.

What about this Vogue character? I don't know how your brain must work to be want to be involved with a man who publicly slags his ex and kids off.

AllYoursBabooshka · 06/03/2013 13:17

Poor girl was raised by people who looked at a baby and thought "Lets call her Vogue, like the magazine!"

I'm sure she will have her "Uh Oh" moment too, hopefully before she has a child with him.
