Fair play to Clive. Thought he handled it really well. Especially the "not before time" remark.

Classic! Not quite as bad as when Atkinson was manager on a phone in and a woman was berating him for not selecting Coby Jones.

Went something along the lines of:

“why isn’t Coby playing”

“he’s not good enough”

It went on for a bit longer and Ron signed off by telling her to go and out the kettle on - there’s a good girl

I thought it was funny, most older people seem to say things like that anyway as they grew up with little to no cancel culture

What a goon. He's been making a transparent attempt to raise his profile and get in the media for months then he gets a shot and does this!
With attitudes this outdated he'll surely get a slot on talksport

Cancel culture?
Surely excluding half the population from working in the media covering the national sport based on their gender is cancel culture?

The thing is, asI said earlier, he's been making obvious attempts to get into the media and then he comes out with this, what was he thinking? Really strange route to go down.

Yea not great for your future job prospects having a potty mouth , but it's his opinion and if that's what he thinks then he will no doubt pay the price of being offered less work in the industry

That's just how it works, even if you think that you should no better than to actually say it on radio

How do they cancel you?
I honestly don't get what you mean.
If they stop listening to you or not reading what they say that's not cancelling that's just choice.

Yeah, I agree. It's not what I personally want to hear so wouldn't listen to him if that's what he going to come out with rather than commenting on actual games.

Obviously, but they spread around this shit and any future opportunities you get may fade, did you hear about the Jack Maynard removal from Im a celebrity, Twitter brought up something he said in the past and he was “cancelled”

Also , my girls love coventry city , I actually have urged my girls to get into sports science etc because if their dream of playing professional didn't manifest then they can still be involved in the game they love if they choose ,(this could change as they are so young )


It's hard when you tell them a great player for us in the past thinks they are too involved

No I didn't. But I suppose it depends what he said.
I am uneasy with the way some stuff is dragged up from decades ago and used against people, JCH for example.
But you also have to think about your target audience.

GB News suspended a presenter for taking the knee. Was that cancel cultureor just out of kilter with what the channels audience want?

I like Alex Scott, I don't like the Brummie girl but it's her voice that grinds in the same way Michael Owens does.
