Can we get rid of Michael Owen and Glenn Hoddle at the same time please?

If Hoddle is still in a job after his previous comments about people with disabilities then I fear he's in a job for life. And they say we live in a 'PC society'

[James70]

I can't stand Lineker who is hugely overpaid and also very boring. There again I can't stand most of the idiots who are on Sportsound on a Saturday afternoon.

Lawrenson and Danny Murphy both get on my nerves.

Paid a decent wage to travel the world to watch and talk about football and both their faces are always tripping them. It's either a monotone drone with Murphy or whining and moaning from Lawrenson. At least try to feign some enthusiasm.

Agree 100% Murphy is a torn face disaster and Lawrenson harps on like a bitter old spinster.

I think most people posting on this thread need to turn the sound down as they don't seem to like anyone.

And yet Rodney Marsh has basically had his career as a pundit ended in 2005 following a relatively minor indiscretion in comparison with what Hoddle said.

It's an absolute joke that he is allowed to appear on national TV after what he said.

I'm sure he addressed this recently and said he didn't say that .
Sure it was just the other day.


Edit : found this quote “You and I have been physically given two hands and two legs and half-decent brains,” he was quoted as saying.

“Some people have not been born like that for a reason. The karma is working from another lifetime. I have nothing to hide about that. It is not only people with disabilities. What you sow, you have to reap.”

Are you quoting that to show its not that bad?? ... Its a terrible thing to believe and worse to say it publicly. He expressed it in more than one interview as well. Up there with Ron Atkinson and his lazy n###### comment.

That's nasty superstitious bollocks.

People deserve to be disabled? Idiot.

Greatest football pundit ever was Mick Channon during Sky’s first season televising football: “If Gary Lineker was a horse, I’d shoot him”. Never asked to be a pundit again ...

That's up there as one of the most disgusting views I've ever heard.

Not at all.

I thought I'd heard him say tha he didn't say that but then found that quote where he did say it.
Maybe didn't explain myself too well :-)

I'm still sure I've heard him addressing it but can't find it.

Sounds even worse than I first thought.! What a warped minded tw&t.!

Keep in mind that these English commentators are basking in the reflected glory of these ‘foreign’ players who play in the ‘best league in the world’.

"England and Belgium will both have two wins behind them when they meet" - Lawro (Begium v Panama, 2018)
"There's only one team going to win this" - Kevin Keegan (England v Romania, 1998)

They never learn, unlike us......

Please tell me it's not Lawrenson for the England game.

Thankfully Martin Keown (decent enough if a bit vanilla) supporting one of the better commentators Guy Mowbray.

I thought Lawrenson had retired from the BBC, have they wheeled him out again for this tournament?

Don’t think he’s ever retired. A regular on 5 Live for many years.

Please somebody put this bore out to grass. A bigger embarrassment to the BBC now than their old stable of public school radio one DJ’s before Whitehouse and Enfield destroyed that woeful cabal with Smashy and Nicey.

He is ruining a good WC. He is out of date and is boring.

Totally agree Bob - he's a twat. Always has been in my opinion - perpetually whining and arrogant pain in the arse

NB - he also hates Scotland which used to annoy me but somehow nowadays pleases me immensely.
