monkeymfc upsetting Sheff Utd fans

Maybe his major crime is being slightly more left wing than Jeremy Clarkson.

I think hes a great journalist, not afraid to say things as he sees them. Both his columns in the ST are very readable, his sport one is normally very supportive of Boro. Can't see the article as out of the country but anything that stirrs uo the Sheff Utd fans at this time of year is fine with me. They're a very educated lot. Quote:

Basically Rod needs to get himself ****ed off and write about a subject he knows something about. Like what it’s like to be a **** or summat.

There you go Rob, your subject matter for next week's article. Also he should be encouraged to get out the pink suit and practise his guitar for a comeback, we're a tollerant society aren't we?
Hi Rod 🙄
 
Hang on Rob, you're saying that beating up pregnant women is "punk" ?

The man is vile, and the fact that you're somehow making light of it, simply because he used to hang around is the same circles is not a good look. I look forward to the next time someone posts some racist or homophobic stuff on here, you will excuse them as on a "punk mission" and they wont be banned.
I don't know anything about Rod and "wife beating" and certainly would not be condoning an atrocious and cowardly act.

It's fairly common knowledge, and even if you ignore that, his "journalism" would have had him banned from here several time over.

Sorry I didn't know about it. I am aware of the journalism style and am not condoning it. The last contact we had was when Rod did give some very positive exposure to a group of Middlesbrough families with Japanese roots.
But look, I don't know anything about wife beating and so I was not making light of it with my comments.
 
He isn't my type of journalist at all but his partner has stated that he didn't punch her.

 
The issue isn't really about parachute payments though. Sheff Utd would be in a similar predicament with or without them. The real issue is the poor governance of football which has allowed Sheff Utd to continue buying players on tic at the start of the season, when they'd already missed payments, Or the Issuing of a transfer embargo, a completely pointless punishment given the current circumstances.

It's about buying players on the never never. An issue many clubs, in many leagues have, that only comes to light when they can kick the can down the road no longer!

Poor governance at FA and FL level coupled with poor governance at club level blights our game.
 
Parachute payments do distort the Championship but what is the alternative? Without them promoted clubs would be less likely to spend enough to even compete in the PL so you end up with a PL of 17 permanent members and 3 teams on a one season tourist pass
 
Ginge? Not many green eyed monsters when it comes to men who beat women, your comment was very poor.

Really? Then you can't have seen previous posts regarding Liddle. As for beating women? Know none of this so reliant on the experts. The only guy who has had success coming from the area and is virtually universally acclaimed is Bob Mortimer. Every other person gets slagged off so I put it to you the green- eyed monster is lurking on this board - possibly hard for you to comprehend.

When people see Liddle I would highly doubt anybody is brimming with inexorable jealousy.

Everybody likes Chris Rea. Even if it is just in December.
And they liked Paul Daniels. Not a lot, but they liked him.
And of course Phil Stamp.
