Hafnia Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 A big boo boo I think here. Absolute own goal by the PFA booking a comedian who liberally uses the N' word. Terry and Suarez incidents aside, this opens up the whole "I wasn't calling him a name, I was repeating a Reginald D Hunter joke". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 It's a complete non story isn't it? The PFA are apparently asking for the fee back. http://www.newstatesman.com/lifestyle/2013/05/kick-racism-out-football-not-out-discussion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 They knew his humour when they hired him to do the show, so how the fuck can they ask for the fee back?! They're just trying to cover up their own mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 anyone else find clark carlisle irritating? He has a very strange way of talking, like a bloke with not a huge amount of education trying to use big words for the sake of it....used to have a secretary at a place I worked once who was common as shite (not in a bad way, she was brilliant) but sounded like she was trying to be the queen whenever she was on the phone, was hilarious. Similar thing. On RDH, agree with Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 I dont see the issue. They could have just ignored this and say they booked an act considered as outrageous by some, but contemporary by others. They have made the issue so much worse. They have shown they are out of touch and shit scared when it comes to racism. Carlisle, considering he is a big advocate of getting more black coaches and managers sounds like he is saying "we should have booked a safer white comedian." http://www.football365.com/f365-says/8683093/PFA-Outrage-Masks-Real-Problems... This link basically says it all for me. If anyone has seen Kevin Bridges act, he played Man Utd's chirstimas party, he apparently refered to Giggs as shagger, not relevant but funny.

Hafnia Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Clark Carlisle talks in the same way as Garth Crooks - speaking slowly does not make you more thoughtful, eloquent or intelligent (forest gump spoke slowly), I find it patronising and sanctimonious (Maggie Thatcher springs to mind).
