There appears to be no Editorial control over Roan. He is allegedly the "Sports Editor for BBC News" whatever that means. He seems to flit around the world reporting things based on his own political prejudices. Today he has gone with a film crew to get 30 seconds of footage of the Newcastle United boss at a Pro-Am golf event.
Why isn't he in Switzerland covering the fraud trial of Platini and Blatter which opened today? This is the criminal case after CAS rejected Platini's appeal against his ban. So in this case CAS were the good guys. The media, especially the BBC, portrayed CAS as the bad guys when they cleared City and overturned our ban. Mind you I am sure Roan will get a nice lavish free lunch today at the Centurion Golf Club in Herts. Another example of the fearless journalism we have grown to expect from the BBC these days.

He certainly won't be behind Russian lines asking random genocidal maniacs what they think of Putin ruining Ukrainian football.
 
Dan Roan - let me remind everyone what this 'cockroach' said after the death of Leicester owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha

Roan was overheard saying: “The mistress who died in the crash … otherwise known as a member of staff … ie mistress.

“If you were a billionaire, it’s relatively expected, so we shouldn’t judge.”

The fact he wasn't instantly sacked for this gross statement tells you everything you need to know about him and his bosses.

Just watching the 2014 LC win over Sunderland on Sly, after Ferna leaving there isn’t a single player of that team left at the club

That goal by Yaya, one of the best I’ve seen at Wembley. When it left his boot I turned to my brother asking him why he was shooting from there, I looked a bit stupid a split second later. Nazri straight after as well, Wembley went mental.

Yeah, that was special. I was right behind the goal about 4 rows back watching the game though a sea of players when the ball came arching in like a missile. Absolutely stunning strike.
 
Our Trevor Sinclair on Talkshite earlier, something like “I don’t agree with the politics of the Saudi’s and the way they treat the LGBT community”. Of course you don’t Trevor, you lived in Dubai for a couple of years and on more than one occasion you made a right drunken dick of yourself, something that in the UAE is very much frowned upon. I doubt Trev reads this but Jason Jennings (bookmaker) and his friends saved your bacon one day and now you’re preaching this shite. It doesn’t bother me that much but have the fucking balls to defend the club you say you support and have a pop at the Rags and Dippers both teams/clubs seem to be immune from criticism.

Wasn't it a header back to Joe who had unfortunately come off his line to collect a cross so it went over his head.

My recollection was that it was a pass back but upon checking it was indeed a header. Joe came for Callaghan's cross and Watson headed it beyond him. It was a total unnecessary manoeuvre and my abiding memory is of Joe struggling on the icy surface as the ball bobbled past him.

I remember the 1-0 at bristol city, I`m sure peter barnes scored only for it to be ruled offside, at the time I thought it was onside but I was in the opposite open end. was truly gutted.

I was at that match and I thought it was Gary Owen but my recollection of detail in old matches has already been shown to be less than perfect today ;)

Ditto. I shouted out "Don't shoot from there....Yes!!!!!!!!!"

In 2012, Roan was banned from all media activity involving Manchester City following an interview with Patrick Vieira, which had been originally arranged to promote Football Against Hunger, a charity Vieira was involved with. Vieira was quoted in the interview as stating that city rivals Manchester United receive favourable refereeing decisions when playing at home. Roan was accused of deliberately taking Vieira's comments out of context and engaging in 'leading and aggressive questioning'.[2]

In 2018, Roan faced calls to resign following his comments at the memorial for Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha and four other victims of a fatal helicopter crash. Roan alleged that the Leicester City's boss had a 'mistress who died in the crash'.[3] Following, Roan issued an apology to explain that the comments were made off-air and with 'no offence intended'.[4]

Sure we'd gone 15 games without defeat and I think Trevor Cherry scored with a free kick. They had to open the gate for one City fan because he was too big to go through the turnstile.
