No wonder Keane doesn't like him. Keane's like the Father Jack of Irish football. Very irritable around strangers. And people he knew. Having had personal experience of this situation I can explode this myth. He is as dull as ditchwater, sh*te company and you'd get more craic out of a heavily sedated hedgehog. Total Gimp!

I've met him a number of times over the last 17 years or so and always found it to be true. Been a while though, maybe he's changed.

Or maybe it's just you.

So you enjoyed your prize of watching one of the games with McAteer in the Premium section I see.... Spill the beans CM, why do you hate him.....

Wouldnt say Hate him BP, but he was being "sponsored" for that prize and made absolutely no attempt to interact with us.

Any attempts we made to chat to him were met with one word answers usually while he tried to text on his phone, we were supposed to have drinks with him at half time and after the game and he left his seat 10 mins before the end of the first half to go and have a drink with two models who he spent the entire game trying to teach the offside rule to and explain to them why there were corner kicks.

Same craic after the match, spent the whole time tryin to get into their knickers to no avail.
The lads from the sponsors who were lookin after him apologised to us two or three times for his "being preoccupied with the models" and for not even talking to us.

We had tickets to the players lounge after the game and just left him still tryin to get off with Model B as Model A had shown zero interest in him.

Now lads might say fair enough with his antics , but he was on a paid gig and I would have rather watched the game in my regular seats and had a few drinks with mates than feel like a hindrance to Don Juan de McAteer's failed model mission.

Thankfully, True Legends Ronnie Whelan and Ray Houghton were much more friendly and chatty in the Berkeley Court afterwards while Trigger was STILL (I sh*t you not) trying to get away with Model B. He failed miserably there too.

Heard a story about him being on a flight onetime and he turned round and asked the air hostess could she open a window as it was too warm!!

He was on newstalk OB there last sat, came across really well and v funny. Them stories are true, he was happy to take the piss out of himself.

Fair enough, maybe we just got him on a bad night. Everyone has them.
Have to admit the stories are very funny

Jason has done a very documentary for LFCTV for World Mental Health Day - It's definitely worth a watch. It's up on Youtube.
