Yeah, so I just find it absolute funny that Ron "Big Ron" Atkinson was permanantly excluded from British Television after his "racism acandal" and he only goes and strikes again after being let back on television. I just feel so sorry for him.

How is that racist?
Well glad i'm not "ordinary" then .
It's not racist - bigoted for sure, but not racist.
Must be racist incident number 4 or 5 now. The producers must be really slow learner s. :rolleyes:

not making excuses for him but its something he has grown up with .
and that nonsense from the other night is just big brother making it clear they are acting accordingly .
the show is not live , they could have edited it out if they wanted but no they know it makes the papers and boosts the profile of the show so left it in . if they infact thought it was that bad then their just as bad for allowing it too be broadcast .
I also think that if anything because of his age and the fact she was Irish he was alluding to the IRA, not sure if that changes the impact but they did wear balaclavas and they most certainly carried bombs
Far to quick to rush to judgement these days, plenty others have said plenty worse and had it laughed off
CBB, the people in there and why. I must be a lady's bits though, I find the unpc things funny, but I am old and probably bit like Frank from 'Everybody Loves Raymond.'
Yes, I am that ladylike.
And each one grabs the headlines and ensure more publicity for the programme. As I said, a job well done.
He was the one manager that used to pick black players, most notably the '3 degree's' of West Brom. Cunningham, Regis and Batson. Not forgetting when Dalian Atkinson scored in the Coca Cola league cup final, you could lip read him when he said "thats my boy"
If that's a racist then I give up
What a load of old hogwash!! Just because someone uses a word that's no longer politically correct doesn't make them a racist.
Yes, the "word" was used all the time, there was even a brown shade of paint that used the word to describe it, was everyone who bought that brown paint a racist? According to your logic, everyone over the age of sixty is automatically deemed to be racist because of the use of vocabulary that was acceptable when they were young. What a stupid thing to think, it makes you ageist :mad: .
Yes there is and posts such as the one that I just quoted should be relegated to that section of the forums. :mad:
You would have had problems when buying a certain shade of shoe polish a few years back.
As for poor old Ron, I should send him on a PC new speak course.
That's the type of joke me and my mates make down the pub all the time.!

I thought she'd wrapped her wet hair in a towel...so it was't even a scarf or dedicated head dress....The PC producers equated a wet towel worn by an Irish woman with an Islamic headscarf...ludicrous...If the production team deemed his comment to be so offensive as to warrant a warning, then why show it...other than to create a headline and attract viewers
Not sure how that bit of logic works.
Employ a tool to do a job of work.
Doesn't imply he thinks of them as anything more than the right tool, to do that particular job of work (play football).
Has Big Ron ever said there was anything anti-racist/racism in employing Black players?
Haven't seen Big Ron since wife swap with Tessa Sanderson, thread is on here somewhere.
Hey ho, I've seen some of your previous on the subject of race and 'PC', I don't think you've got the first clue.
