Ron atkinson When will big Ron be re-instated on the telly... he only said 'niggar' once ffs and has suffered enough. Bring him back.
hes been forced into semi-retirement by this farce! i dont think he'll get tv work again...... maybe papers will take him back. I feel so sorry for him......... i loved his CrAzY commentrys. its fucking stupid but that the world we live in.
He's not the only one....... SOCCER legend Frank McLintock faced fury last night after branding Tottenham Hotspur as “Ten Little N***ers” — live on TV. The former Arsenal captain was discussing Saturday’s match between Spurs — who fielded four black players — and his old club. Suddenly he stunned viewers of Monday’s You’re On Sky Sports phone-in show when he said of the number of axed Spurs managers: “It’s like Ten Little N***ers.” McLintock, 64, sniggered — and fellow pundit Rodney Marsh chipped in: “Yeah.” The camera then showed both fighting a fit of the giggles. The gaffe is the most outrageous racist slur on telly since soccer commentator Ron Atkinson, 65, was sacked after calling Chelsea star Marcel Desailly a “f***ing lazy big n***er”. Anti-racism groups last night slammed McLintock. Piara Powar, director of Kick It Out — which campaigns to eradicate racism in sport — said: “Frank’s language here is wrong and offensive. This is a word repugnant and charged with hate. It’s time broadcasters realised the damage language like this does.” Agatha Christie’s Ten Little N***ers was famously retitled Ten Little Indians in 1978 after a public outcry.
It's a lot of pish, I watched Ladykillers last night and the word niggar was used repeatedly as comedy. He has apologised, lets move on. Frank skinner said to big ron "He worries about a world that doesn't forgive"
I love the way Ron justifies it by saying 'I gave black players a game all the time, how am i a racist' I think he is a twat and im glad he is off telly
EIGHT months after losing his job as an ITV pundit because of a racist remark and suffering untold damage to his reputation, Ron Atkinson is to return to the nation’s television screens next week. Atkinson will be a guest on Five’s John Barnes’ Football Night on Thursday evening and, if it is well-received by viewers, it could lead to regular appearances for the former West Bromwich Albion and Manchester United manager. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,27-1386266,00.html
Cos the black man has been suppressed for so many years and now he believes its HIS TIME ... plus (imo) i believe that the black man is more racist than the white man ... I bet this opinion rattles some cages ...
