[Archived] Big Ron Forced To Resign

[BRFC4EVA]

I think that J.Hill talks outa his ass, but thats just my opinion

[broadsword]

I struggle to find the words for that one.

[FourLaneBlue]

Can just picture it now....

Big Ron, holding his orange skull in hands, shaking his head from side to side saying "Christ that's all I bloody need! Jimmy chinning Hill on my flipping side...."

[Hanks]

jimmy hill has always displayed an ability to open his mouth before engaging his brain, remember when he blamed one of our ball girls for costing us a goal in the cup against liverpool [ when super atko scored the o g ]

he publicly slaughtered her in front of the MOD audience for throwing the ball in too quickly

From F365:

Rumour Of The Day

'Ron Atkinson is to be approached about becoming Spain's assistant manager' - Madeup365.com

[Eddie]

Big Ron is hard enough to understand when he speaks english

I can't imagine how he'd communicate with them over in Spain

[92er]

He's already been manager of Atletico Madrid.

Interesting that the word Tory used to be seen as malicious but has since become an accepted part of the language. It's still a swear word in our household.

Only just read this.....Sorry but I'd really hate to have to knowingly admit to such blinkered political thinking. How the flerk can anybody supposedly with intelligence align themselves to any of our political parties? You really do not do yourself justice with such a 'conservative' political mindset Jim. 'Let the scales fall from thine eyes' cock.

Thank God that I for one, can continue to keep an open (albeit jaundiced)mindset.

Amen to that

Atkinson called Chelsea defender Marcel Desailly a "###### lazy, thick nigger"

Now if anyone wants to justify that, feel free.

Ian Wright was on Radio Five earlier this evening where he described ocassions where Atkinson made similar "joke" comments to him and Garth Crooks.

Atkinson said that he said he had only made them in jest, but continued to make them and ignored the insult that it caused.

Ian Wight sticking his oar in now lol

I think Peter Kay best watch his back with comedy like that. Did you see what he did there? Wright, Wight

Nice to see you understood it in Walkden

[thenodrog]

Theno, if yours is an open mind then thank god mines closed.

I think you must mean 'Thank God that mine is closed'.

Alan Green's been rapped on the knuckles for saying something about Djemba-djemba.

Would appear he stated the player hadn't got a good grasp of English grammar.

We'll all have to be careful when commenting on the txt spk generation.

I won't attempt to justify it Colin cos it's a bit ago now and my memory of this is somewhat vague. But which bit of that description carried the greatest inaccuracy and insult? I'm no expert on what is or what isn't deemed 'pc' nowadays but if it were me it'd be in descending order from the front.

[luxor]

Language is a slippery customer. Either ors in this case are simplistic; as are the posturings of liberal sensibilities on the one hand or the 'political correctness run mad, what's it all coming to' brigade on the other.

A few observations:-

1.People often say things that they don't mean or really believe

2.Use the above phrase but insert different words

"###### lazy, thick jew"

"###### lazy, thick paddy/mick"

"###### lazy, thick Englishman"

"###### lazy, thick bitch"

"###### lazy, thick honkey"

"###### lazy, thick paki"

3.There are degrees of outrage/offence at any given moment or context.

4. Words are more than just sounds or marks on a page - they can be loaded, political weapons and clearly carry cultural capital.

5. Big Ron delights us all with his footy jargon; he should realise equally the power to offend.

6. Big Ron is certainly not a racist. Actions speak louder than words.

7. As a public figure, Big Ron could clearly not be seen to keep his job, given the circumstances.

Some groups of people understimate the power of language to enshrine, reinforce and establish social attitudes.

Some groups of people underestimate the power of people to be robust in their use of language.

Is your name an anagram of Rulox by accident or design??

Thanks American for digging this up

Theno,

It's all insulting.

Just as it would be if some one described you or me as "a ###### lazy thick white ######."

I hope that filter works........

[thenodrog]

Thats an interesting but rather unusual "first" post, Luxor.

[American]

Thanks American for digging this up

I just thought it was a funny joke.

[Tango]

As did I American, but it was swiftly lost.
