Hansen, Lawrensen and Shearer bring shame on the BBC

[Didsbury Dave]

its a city forum, not sure what you expect

Well, if you think President Assad of Syria will step down with immediate effect, if a few Bluemooners send a strongly worded email, then I think you need to sit down in a darkened room, with a bottle of whisky, and work out why nobody seems to take you seriously.

Well, if you think Mark Lawrenson will step down with immediate effect, if a few Bluemooners send a strongly worded email, then I think you need to sit down in a darkened room, with a bottle of whisky, and work out why nobody seems to take you seriously.

Like fish in a barrel on this thread.

Only some fights are worth fighting. Some are not. Shame very few of you seem to know the difference.

Thank Christ some common sense.

Forum people always get like this: "together we can change the world".

No you can't. You are sending notes to Santa up the chimney.<br /><br />-- Thu Jul 12, 2012 10:21 am --<br /><br />

Good lord, you lot still going on about this?

Forget it. The pundits are just echoing the views of the man in the street - Rightly or wrongly, Mario's become a cartoon character.

If Mario Balotelli wants to change public perception of him all he has to do is score loads of goals and stop getting sent off. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less.

A bunch of bloody emails from biased football fans won't change a thing. You might as well take a piss in a wind tunnel.

mario had an excellent tournament, didn't get sent off, scored three cracking goals, wasn't far off winning the golden boot and was widely praised all over europe as being one of the stars of euro 2012 and still these vicious bastards piled on snide insult after snide insult. on the other hand rooney, who missed half the tournament through being sent off, was pissing it up in las vegas during the build up, was clearly unfit and dog shit on the pitch, got an easy ride off these cunts. but of course rooney is englsh and white while mario is italian and black.

silly me. i forgot he got a yelow card for taking his shirt off after scoring his second goal against germany. burn him!

Oh God.

If all else fails play the racism card.

That's a brilliant analogy Dave, I'm nicking it!

I feel the same about signing petitions, although these can be a little bit more well organised.

if you seriously believe that if mario was english and white he'd get the same treatment from these pricks then you probably also believe in the tooth fairy and the easter bunny. in less than four years andy carroll has got a criminal record for beating up a woman, glassing a bloke in a club and most recently was fined and had to pay compensation for common assault. on top of that his form for almost all of last season was total shite. so why then does he get a far, far easier ride than mario from those twats on motd?

I'm not sure whether his being black is the issue but if he were English he'd definitely get an easier ride. The evidence is there for all to see. He'd get an even easier ride than that if he played for the rags or bin dippers too.

A lamentable accusation and one without any foundation, to bring racism into the proceedings. Doing so just weakens any legitimate argument against Hansen et al just being poor at their jobs.

You forgot to use the word "embarrassing", too.

Imagine all the daft emails the BBC get over the course of any given day with shite like this in. They must have a right laugh.

No doubt Andy Carroll has not the nicest bloke in the world but similar with Mario, Jack Wilshere, Giggs, Barton personal issues of such a nature or never mentioned in relation to anybody. Similarly MOTD dont mention Mario sleeping with an 'escort' behind his girlfriends back or using another player as an example, reference is not made to Jermain Pennants past indiscretions. That is clearly a policy of the BBC.

I won't answer any retarded trolls directly but I'll say that the BBC are quietly acknowledging that something wrong was done and pressure from intelligent people here, OfCom and anti-racism groups has worked. Lawrenson and Mowbray will never again brazenly slaughter Mario Balotelli like two boneheads in a pub.

 

[BluePurgatory]

The more those bstds slag mario the more i and thousands of others love him. Let the rag media and these vile so call pundits carry on. Do you honstly think that any football fan with any common sense really agrees with them? I always thought our PR and legal department were toothless but perhaps they know that even the looney news is good news in recruiting new supporters for the club!
