I’d do a poll but I think it’s abundantly clear to all that the man is an abhorrent beast who should never broadcast again.
Sorry Voy meant to reply instead of posting straight.What's he done now?
That can be taken two ways depending on how you link the words “hooligan related”. He could well have meant there was Hillsborough on the one hand and there were also other separate issues which were related to hooliganism.He said this on the Today programme on Radio 4
Tyler, widely regarded as the voice of the world’s richest league, was reminiscing about how much the game had changed since 1992, when he said: "You’ve got to remember that football was in a bit of a crisis at that time. We weren’t that long after Hillsborough and other hooligan-related issues as well."
Agreed. Though exceptionally clumsy. Only he knows what he meant. I was just posting the words to give some context to the thread.Th

Yeah it was clumsy. You’d have thought he’d have realised what he said and corrected himself during the interview. But not a hanging offence.Agreed. Though exceptionally clumsy. Only he knows what he meant. I was just posting the words to give some context to the thread.

And there’s the problem with today’s social media - nobody’s allowed to make a single mistake - EVER!!Yeah it was clumsy. You’d have thought he’d have realised what he said and corrected himself during the interview. But not a hanging offence.
Maybe so…but is it a persecuting offence? I suppose it is to one part of the country.'We weren’t that long after Hillsborough and other hooligan-related issues as well'
Pretty clear what he meant.
No. It probably wouldn’t go the way you’d expect and the public gallows would be going up in every town square."BRING BACK HANGING!"
or
"Chill out and have a sandwich"
Can we have a poll?
Nah, just one clumsy sentence in an interview, he obviously didn't mean any harm, doubt most Scousers will really care, it's hardly up there with The Sun.Maybe so…but is it a persecuting offence? I suppose it is to one part of the country.
I haven’t heard the interview so can’t really comment but if there was a pause ie. we weren’t that long after Hillsborough, pause, and other, hooligan related incidents as well. As I said I haven’t heard it, just speculating. I may be completely off the mark and he could be an absolute arsehole.'We weren’t that long after Hillsborough and other hooligan-related issues as well'
Pretty clear what he meant.
Is he your version of our Ian Chisnall?So the Prem saved football in 1992 did it Martin?
Prior to the prem coming in, crowds were up for a 6th successive season. Hooliganism was hugely on the decline. He knew what he was saying for a man who is paid to use words. If you actually listen to his commentary when Liverpool are on he sounds like a family member has died when they score. Loads of comments on that on Twitter too and it's very true.
Can't stand the bloke. Well past his sell by date. The sooner he fucks off the better and take the AND ITS LIIIVE thing with you.
A lot seem to care. He has a history of it with them. My closest mate is a Scouser and showed me some stuff from RAWK I think and another forum. Pretty clear what their feelings are.Nah, just one clumsy sentence in an interview, he obviously didn't mean any harm, doubt most Scousers will really care, it's hardly up there with The Sun.
I don't know, is he? You tell meIs he your version of our Ian Chisnall?
An abhorrent beast, Jerez what has he done raped a child ?I’d do a poll but I think it’s abundantly clear to all that the man is an abhorrent beast who should never broadcast again.
Appreciate SATWs post contained an element of the dramatic but whilst not a physical crime it was a dreadful vocal crime so the op was justified.An abhorrent beast, Jerez what has he done raped a child ?
I genuinely have no idea what he has done or said, can you enlighten me ?Appreciate SATWs post contained an element of the dramatic but whilst not a physical crime it was a dreadful vocal crime so the op was justified.
Hinted ? Or implied ?Hinted Hillsborough was a result of hooliganism.
Yeah, sorry, it was supposed to be sarcasticI haven’t heard the interview so can’t really comment but if there was a pause ie. we weren’t that long after Hillsborough, pause, and other, hooligan related incidents as well. As I said I haven’t heard it, just speculating. I may be completely off the mark and he could be an absolute arsehole.
It's a bit like the leader of the far right AfD in Germany calling Angela Merkel the worst ever Chancellor of Germany.I assume the MSM and the always offended will be looking to destroy him then
You’re too good for me, I’m a little slow at catching on.That’s about the only good thing about a great age, you can blame it for lots of things, some of which can’t be discussed in polite company.Yeah, sorry, it was supposed to be sarcastic
Who ?It's a bit like the leader of the far right AfD in Germany calling Angela Merkel the worst ever Chancellor of Germany.
There might be another contender...
That is exactly how I read it - that there was Hillsborough, then there were some other separate hooligan-related incidents. You'd expect a man of his experience to be more careful around such a sensitive topic. But I don't for one minute think he was claiming Hillsborough was hooligan-related.Th

Did you really just post thatAn abhorrent beast, Jerez what has he done raped a child ?
Not another offended fanny, I would say it’s a fair assessment of a child rapist, abhorrent beast wouldn’t you.Did you really just post that
No. Slip of the tongue. Get over it. When did we become so desperate to be offended by everything?I’d do a poll but I think it’s abundantly clear to all that the man is an abhorrent beast who should never broadcast again.
Uninformed? You’ve not read every single formal report, inquiry etc then?Oh Christ, don't get the 'all Scousers are hooligans who bring it upon themselves' brigade all riled up, we had enough of their uninformed bollocks during the CL final.
