Jermaine Jenas sacked from presenting at BBC

Hell, just putting it out there. I don't know what happened. I am just surprised some people simply assume Lee's version of the events is the truth.

They are Sam Lee burner accounts ;-)

Which BlueMoon poster did he threaten whilst on a train ?

Inappropriate behaviour apparently

I've spoken to Sam Lee a few times and he's a decent lad. Not sure what's going on with stuff, but if someone has had a pop at him then he's got every right to tell them he'll do them in if they don't fuck off imo.
Most people are used to journalists being Oxbridge types who would never sully themselves with "unprofessionalism" or failed politics writers like Delaney. Sam is much more like your normal football fan. Don't get me wrong, he's not an idiot, he speaks at least 3 languages fluently and he's a smart guy, but he's not a stuffy Henry Winter type. He's a Northerner by heart and if you have a pop then he'll have a pop back.

Well within his rights to tell a random stranger who approached him to start an argument to fuck off in my opinion.

I presume he’s been sacked for sending half the viewers left watching to sleep.
The boring ****.

Yeah he's the most vanilla bloke in Sports. Quite shocked he's managed to get himself sacked for inappropriate behaviour, but he's a wet lettuce who added nothing anyway so won't be missed.

He’s a well known journalist who covers City and hasn’t got the best reputation amongst fans.
Travelling down to a game with loads of blues it’s not that much of a shock that he’d be approached, and from what’s been said it wasn’t to start an argument, Lee was the one who decided to act like a hard man.
Sounds like he needs a thicker skin.

I saw this come across as a news update at 3.30 today.
30 minutes later, i turned Talk Sport on and guess who was presenting Drive-time?

"Anyway, a blue simply said to Lee you should be a bit more careful with what you write.

Lee straight away called the blue a dick.

Well it went downhill from there".

Very thinly veiled. I don't know, maybe Lee could have tried talking to him in a civilised manner and maybe had a productive conversation, maybe even swayed his opinion a little. Instead he went for calling him a dick.

Hell, just putting it out there. I don't know what happened. I am just surprised some people simply assume Lee's version of the events is the truth.

So you agree that Lee didn't instigate the situation then? Glad we got that sorted.

Jermaine jenas...

 

[r.soleofsalford]

does that make us entitled to be aggressive towards the press who are continually having a pop at city and then belittling city fans saying we are paranoid and theyd do it to any club when that is demonstrably untrue.

Yes kick them in the bollocks

That made me laugh. Which I shouldn’t have done really as it sounds serious. But time will tell I suppose.

Or a fatter lip.

He did if he overreacted to being approached.

Sounds like the 'journalist' could have handled the situation a little better.

I mean he only tweeted about it not like he got straight on the blower to the police and got the blue arrested is it? Not having a go at the blue either, whole thing sounds like a bit of a storm in a teacup tbh.

I agree with your last line tbf.

I agree with your last line tbf.

Lee was an agitating **** before this tea in a storm cup..... and will be after it !!

That would depend on how it was said. You have no idea of the context.

If you came up to me and said you should be more careful what you post aggressively then I might call you a dick. If you came up to me and said you need to be more careful what you post with a smile on your face then I would probably say yes, you are probably right.

You know nothing about this incident.
