Is it true that the great man was sacked for a football joke, on a TV football phone-in show?
PC is destroying our once Great Britain.
True his joke was pretty insensitive in world terms but still funny (in football terms)
Rock on the Toon Army - stand by Craig Bellamy, Souness will soon move on
Originally posted by rhbAny chance of a link to the story? For some reason, Sky are keeping quite on it.
it was not in good taste, he did apologise immediately though (on air) and so you could argue the sacking was a bit harsh.
He should have been sacked years ago just for being an arrogant plick.

I can't believe Rodders didn't try to blag it!
I mean, it's more likely to believe that Beckham would be worried about the Toon Army than that that was meant to be JOKE, lol.
Hmmmm, even though I laughed, heh heh. Mind you, it was the visual of Beckham saying it that caused THAT, 😛.
Bad taste jokes are normal aren't they? I seem to recall this being discussed in the news after Diana died. There was a plethora then, but the only issue was how long you had to wait to tell them. Rather sadly, the deluge of Di jokes seemed to swamp Mother Teresa ones. In fact, I only heard ONE, :0. I'm sure if she'd died at a different time she would have been held in higher esteem, and we would have had a lot more laughs.
Originally posted by VandalizerThe whole Diana thing nearly got me lynched. I only said I couldn't care less whether she was alive or dead. Boy, you should have seen the people turn on me.
