bit of an old thread, but seeing as i decided to take action against the evil that is smeato, i thought i'd post (at the suggestion of davie p) my email i sent to him telling him what i thought of his gash column in the sun. please note that there are typos and some bits might not make sense but it was all written in a fit of rage that such a idiotic chap be allowed to spread his gospel of p*sh.

Good afternoon Mr. Smeaton.

Having stumbled across your column in the Sun this morning (which I buy for the back pages and for the problem page) I decided to at first have a quick scan through it, to see if you had anything worthwhile to say. Unfortunately, you didn't have anything worthwhile to say. However, your column did throw up some interesting points I thought I'd contact you about.

First of all, I couldn't help but notice your article regarding the "Gillette three" - Messrs Henry, Woods and Federer. Before I go on, I wholeheartedly applaud your support of the Movember campaign, this is a very good cause and thanks to the Sun's support campaign, I believe a great deal of awareness and money which will go towards men's health issues, which can only be a good thing. However, my problem with your article isn't this part, it is where you stated that:

"Tiger is just like thousands of other sports stars before him who think fame and fortune give them a right to what they want... and to hell with the missus's feelings and humiliation."

You then go on, in the section entitled 'Smeat's Treat', that you "wouldn't mind a bit of fore-play with Tiger Wood's alleged birdie. (Rachel Uchitel)" Now, John, if you ask me, this sounds rather contradictory, considering you statement in the article concerning the same subject directly above 'Smeat's Treat'. I don't mean to get personal, but how would your 'Missus' feel about you slamming Woods then following that up by claiming you'd wouldn't be adverse to having your way with Rachel Uchitel, Tiger Wood's alleged mistress.



Second, I would like to raise the issue of your defence of Nacho Novo's mooning of Aberdeen fans at Pittodrie on Saturday. You stated that:

"If the fans can't take it they shouldn't dish it out."

As a football fan, you should know as well as anyone else that fans shout at players, and sometimes, players respond, either positively or negatively. Every time a player re-acts negatively to abuse from fans, it is always slammed by fans, pundits, fellow players and other people involved in the game. Examples spring to mind - Neil Lennon, El-Hadji Diouf, and most extreme of all, Eric Cantona. I can see your point, but it comes across to the reader that you're a bit biased and sympathetic towards Novo, and biased against Aberdeen fans due to the team you support. I'm not saying your wrong to support Rangers, by the way. However, I am saying it is wrong to be biased when writing a column in a national newspaper!



Also, are you a bit miffed that David Tennant beat you in The Greatest Scot? Sounds fair to me, a talented actor beats a man who booted a man who was on fire in the baws then gets a crap column in a 30 pence newspaper, then fails at being a politician.



Also, Rod Stewart hasn't had a hit in years, so maybe think about laying off Deacon Blue, Lloyd Cole, and Midge Ure. I'd like to see you organise a music festival, let alone a decent newspaper cloumn.



I have Cc'd a copy of this email to the customer services email adress for the Sun, in the hope it arrives in the inbox of your editor, as bias and contradictory writing shouldn't really be allowed in a national newspaper.



I hope you found reading this article as fun as I did writing it.
