Friends of portly Setanta Sports pundit Pat Dolan have revealed they’re desperately worried about his health and have urged him to go into rehab to fight his demons.

Dolan eats so fast the food becomes invisible

The former St Patrick’s Athletic manager was recently photographed stuffing his face in Burger King on O’Connell Street in Dublin. Scientists concluded that the mere fact that he appears on television made his gluttony fourteen times worse than anybody else in the restaurant at the time.

A worried pal close to Dolan said “This has been a difficult time for him. If I could compare it to anything else it’s like seeing Kerry Katona pissed off her giant box on the morning TV show the other week. I don’t think it’s unfair to say they’re very similar although Pat’s boobs aren’t anywhere near as saggy as the former Atomic Kitten’s.

We’re very worried about him and obviously when you sink to the depths he has, eating a BBQ Angus with large fries and a large coke in a Burger King, then you’ve got to think rehab is the best thing. It’s the kind of behaviour that most of the general public can’t get their head around. Licking salt and sauce off your fingers is what they expect from monkeys, not from esteemed football pundits”.

Dolan was unavailable for comment today but a Setanta source said “Ooooh, fat man eats burger. Big shock there, eh? Don’t people have anything better to do? And if they don’t they can check out highlights of the Under 16 World Handicapped Hockey Cup from Railway Union on Setanta Sports 1″.
