Malt 379 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Wtf is wrong with people? The man makes a joke about when they used to take monkeys into space with an astronaut who was there just to feed them, and some black player or players in the room takes offence. How the hell can you take offence at that? I know about the monkey chants and all that, but FFS! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24563131 We won't be allowed to say the work 'monkey' before long, we'll have to say 'small hairy primate..'

Malt 379 Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I know footballers ain't exactly known for their intelligence, but surely whoever supposedly got 'offended' could see he was simply making an analogy and not implying Andreos Townsend was a monkey? What next, ole Roy telling a defender to be a bit quicker to get the ball and saying 'come on son, be a bit sharper! the early bird gets the worm!' and that defender coming out with something like '"ee's trying to say I'm a bird, one [BANNED TEXT] tits an all that! I'm offended.." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your team qualifies for the World Cup, and already its having to deal with bollocks it shouldn't have too.. ...and then the same press that blows something like this out of all proportion then goes on to wonder why you guys don't do well at the tournaments?

keepdiggin 9,565 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 just off topic for a min that Andreos Townsend will be world class in years to come. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbriar 8,569 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 The most telling part is that no-one present had taken issue, so how did the FA come to investigate a matter that no-one had complained about ? If anything, Hodgson should be investigated for telling shite jokes !!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just about to say the same but it does say none of the team were offended or wanted to make a complaint. Whoever it was should be told to f***ing piss off.

First I heard it was two black players who were offended, then one, now they're saying it wasn't a player at all! :laugh: It come from somewhere though, what goes on in that changing room should stay there IMO..

Bosun11 537 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Are any of you expecting anything less...?? England qualified, now role on the critics, the knockers, the scaremongers and just about everyone else who will do their damnedest (and mostly without knowing it!) to feck things up before we've kicked a ball in Brazil... And it'll only get worse...!! This country certainly knows how to get behind a team..! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
