Utterly disgusted with the player who went whining to the Sun with his "racist" complaint about Woy .

Whoever they are should be dropped from the England team with immediate effect. Even if it's a United player, there is no place for snidey B******s in the dressing room.

As for the **** house that is the Sun the FA should ban them from all future training sessions and pre/post match conferences. Typical British press always looking to bring someone down, they should be right behind the team at this juncture but no they'll take any bit of dirt they can find and print it. it amazes me how the FA, ECB, RFU for example dont just tell these people to F off as all they do is look for the negative and show our national teams in a bad light whenever they can

Whoever it was needs to remove his poorly educated head from his **** FFS.

Really pleased to see players coming to Roy's aid, we dont need this poison in the dressing room as by all accounts the team spirit is at it's highest it's been in years.

Rant Over

This is the Sun we are talking about - do you really believe that a player complained or might it have been :

Sun " Ere (insert less than intelligent footballer) did you hear what Roy called Townso"?
Player" no"
Sun " He called him a monkey"
Player " really"?
Sun " yeah, awful innit"?
Player " well if he did say it then it's not the most sensible thing to call him, I guess"


SUN exclusive : England player rages at Wacist Woy ...

In this instance I do FB

The reporter, a Mr Smart who does the "Bizarre" section was interviewed on Talk Sport and he said the player came directly to him, not a family member, not an advisor but the player himself, Smart said and was p1ssed off and has since spoken to him again and said he is still p1ssed off by the FA's stance since the story broke.

The fact the player goes to the entertainment correspondant of the Sun says it all for me, the tw*t thinks he's a celeb and not a footballer.

Seriously how can any proper minded person take that as racism, the last thing we want is another JT type issue with poison in the dressing room.

The FA as said that no player had a problem with what was said,So if the player was so outraged why has he not come out and spoken ?

The only offence that can be taken from it is , that the other players were beneath him and only there to give him the ball (the context of the joke , and the point Roy was making by saying it) as in "feed the monkey"
If any other animal had been used in the space program (and in turn used in the joke) Roy would have said it in the team talk.

Bloody rediculous.

If you dont know what the anology of this is before making assumptions, here it is:-

“NASA decided they’d finally send a man up in a capsule after sending only monkeys in the earlier missions,” the joke goes.

“They fire the man and the monkey into space.

“The intercom crackles, 'Monkey, fire the retros.'

“A little later, 'Monkey, check the solid fuel supply.'

“Later still, “Monkey, check the life support systems for the man.'

“The astronaut takes umbrage and radioes NASA, 'When do I get to do something?'

“NASA replies, 'In 15 minutes - feed the monkey.'”

Yeah , its actually a complement to the player it was aimed at and an insult to the others if anything.

Football is a team game and every player has a job to do in order to be part of the team.

Barcelona are an example of team play, even everyone talks about Messi, the rest of the team are all contributing to his success and the success of Barcelona.

The PC brigade need to butt the **** out.

My missus is watching X-Factor and I just heard Nicole Sherzinger say to one of the black contestants "hello Hannah banana" That could be classed as racism as monkeys like bananas!!! But it wont be a big deal because she's not a 65 year old english white man!!!!

The Roy Hodgson thing is a joke, who ever the player is needs to get a grip, and grow a pair of ***** and come out and tell the world why he found it offensive!!!

I don't know if this story is going to go away and think it's probably best the player comes forward. Ashley Cole has already been cornered into denying it was him, I would imagine there will be similar denials from more players as the days go by. When/if the player is identified, then he shouldn't be included in the squad. Racist or not, offended or not, only an absolute brain donor would think the best course of action would be to go to the editor of the Sun

I buy The Sun to read at work ('cos it's a cheap paper, not as dumbed down as The Star, lower blood pressure than reading the Daily Mail etc. etc.) and noticed that tw@t has gone from the Bizarre thing now, replaced by two wannabe socialites.

Coincidence? Or have The Sun realised he fcuked up and made him walk the plank?
