Re: Official - Townsend
I will forever now associate Roy Hodgson to David Brent. Because someone pointed out to me that is exactly the sort of thing David Brent would have done! Basically you have someone with poor people skills, who has gone on a few management courses and is now a manager hence the long irrelevant speech in the first place!
I do think Roy is a lovely bloke though, and I 100% don't think he was being offensive or deserves to go for it but anyway you look at it....it was a very cringeworthy dumb thing to say.

Surely Smalling has the biggest reason to be offended seeing as he is likened with the astronaut.

Hopefully AVB will not tell them to pass to Townsend tomorrow, because hopefully Lamela is playing instead,

Thought I heard AVB say on SSN yesterday that Townsend plays v Villa tomorrow. But yeah, hope Lamela gets to play - immediately after AT comes off to a standing ovation having just scored his hat-trick. :-"

Harry used to have 2 goalies on the sub bench so we could have these 2 playing in the same team.

Re: Official - Townsend
This whole thing is a joke. Surely?
He makes a joke that happens to have a monkey in it, it's not racist and it's not offensive, Roy has nothing to apologies for and certainly shouldn't be getting any stick for it. Anyone who thinks it's racist (herbert) need to take a look at themselves as it does a disservice to genuine racism, someone on talk sport said it's similar to fans making monkey noises at black players. One is directed at a player because of his skin colour and designed to offend them, the other is a poor joke. Nowhere near the same thing.
If I was the journo who received the call from whoever it was that was offended I'd have told them to grow up, do some research on proper racism, the real horrible stuff that goes on and then come back if he still genuinely thinks this is a disgrace. Some people need to grow up a bit.

To those of you critisising Roy for saying it to a 'black man', maybe he doesn't consider Townsend to be a 'black man', just a man.

Re: Official - Townsend
Thats precisely what I tried to say in another post in this thread - but you posted it in a more succinct fashion.
Like I have always said - the people who keep bringing up this topic of racism are the racists - as they see there is a difference between a black person and a white person. I ****in dont, therefore me calling a man a monkey is me calling him a monkey regardless of whether he is white, black or ****in asian. I see the person in front of me as equal to me, I dont see skin colour. fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Whoa, that's deep.
So, if instead of saying it he had stopped himself saying something which he would have said to a white player, because the player is black....then that would make him a racist...

Me neither but I got shot down making that point at a staff equalities workshop. Was reminded red is harmless except to a bull. To others it's the connotations of the words we use that matters, regardless of how we intend them. We all understand why we shouldn't use the n-word.
