  • ....i wonder if they have a columnist who was in the running for the job..oh yes, Harry Redknapp.
    LOL
  • Was wondering how the enlightened minds on this board would possibly be able to comment on something they are quite obviously superior to and would in no way look at as well PL54.
    The shameful headlines have been widely reported by other media. Hence the discussion. Not rocket science is it ?

    You really must try joined up thinking sometime.
    Well spotted about the rocket science bit Shooters !
  • I'm sure they'd show their true colours if we ever appointed a black england manager...................
    Yes, and we all know who England's first black manager will be, don't we ?
  • I found it funny! I know I shouldn't have but I did! But I balance this with the fact that Hodgson has heard it all before, has the potential to be a good England manager, speaks 5 languages as mentioned above, and if, its a big if, we get to the Euro final and possible win it, then The Sun will have egg on its, phone hacking (allegedly), disgusting, double standard face!
    BTW did the bint on page 3 express an opinion on Woy?
  • Toally unacceptable headline today in relation to Roy Hodgson's speech impediment. It seems this tacky rag has not moved on since the days of Kelvin McKenzie, but of course let's not forget it is a Murdoch's title.
    Could I just point out that it isnt a speech impediment as it doesn`t impede him, or our understanding of him.
  • Not just The Sun but many other media outlets are simply acting like spoilt kids who didn't get what they wanted for Christmas.
    The media thought Harry was a cert. They all looked forward to a cosy little spell where they'd have jokey press conferences, nice little one-one interviews with their Darling Harold and all the insider knowledge they wanted.
    Anyone else hear the pig Ian McGarry last night on 5Live? He tried to justify The Sun's headline on the basis that it goes with the territory and Capello had to "put up with people taking the Mickey out of his command of the English language".
    To their credit, Mark Chapman, Steve Claridge and Motty, as one, completely buried McGarry on this one saying that someone’s basic downright laziness to learn the language of his employer who was paying him £6m per annum could not be compared with someone else’s speech disability.
    All I have heard over the past few days is so called journalists whinging and whining about Redknapp not getting the job. The job he simply had no qualifications for.

    I buy the 'Sun' on saturday as Templegate is a top racing tipster and I confine my horse betting to (mostly!) saturdays. I was in Tesco picking up the groceries and whilst there I had a gander at the headlines, a free look through the newspaper racks .. The headline in the 'Sun' caught my eye for it's more than usual crassness and insensitivity. I usually have no beef with the 'Sun', it's a jolly, bullshitting kind of rag and if it goes over the top sometimes in its headlines and editorial, so what, better this than the bland and totally pc approach of the BBC and (say) the Guardian. Murdoch has a right to appoint whoever he likes to his staff and to edit his newspapers, if you don't like what he says and does, then don't buy his product.
    Sometimes the 'Sun' editors and headline writers get it wrong. The mocking of Hodgson is a prime example. I suspect they are taking the Millwall approach .. everyone is having a go at us, do we give a f**k .. you've all got a new football manager .. f**k you and f**k him. Naughty Mr Sun. Go and stand in the corner
    If Templegate is so good, why is he bothering to write for The Sun instead of spending his millions, likewise your good self (unless you are writing that from your beachfront property in Nassau)? "Bland and PC approach", oh you mean reporting facts instead of making stuff up and filling their pages with "news" about non entities. I think you will find the majority of people contributing to this thread don't buy Murdoch's product, and as decent responsible people they are trying to discourage other less well educated people from doing so.

    It feels like a rusty knife being turned in my stomach but I'm finding myself agreeing with you on this one Chippy..................

    I disagree, I bet a lot buy Sky or indeed those that take the moral high ground go to the pub to watch it!

    Can I point out that Rhotacism is actually an impediment?

  • Please note the singular. Product. Wasn't referring to anything other than The Sun, Greenie.

    Yes, and we all know who England's first black manager will be, don't we ?

    How do you know that Templegate is NOT a millionaire ? .. as for me .. I don't often follow his advice, hence my villa is merely on the Algarve, not Nassau .. bland BBC and Guardian .. soma for the masses, whereas 'the sun' for all its faults is a bit lively .. do you ban sky and other Murdoch products from your, I am sure, classy bar and grill ?

    Right. What makes you think it isnt a disorder?
    And what does it impede, in your opinion?

    Because he is writing for The Sun. That is what the first sentence was about.

    You buy The Sun in order to ignore his advice?

    I repeat, I was referring to The Sun. Product, singular. One thing.

  • irrelevant .. but .. according to 'the sun' (you can always believe the sun), the current templegate won the RACING POST tipster of the year contest for the 2011/12 NH Season .. a £1 stake on each of his selections would have netted £61.59 , a better return I'd wager (or not) than from stocks, shares, ISAs or ponzis
  • Stop ignoring his tips then... LOL.

    You seem to have veered off the original subject here which was about The Sun's ridiculing of Roy's speech impediment.
    More than one poster on here took great delight in naming 'Woys' England team,'Gween,Wichards' etc.
    Ring any bells?

    Lots of millionaires are still working, that is how they mostly made and are able to retain their millions .. why do you assume that Templegate would retire to a lazy life merely because he may (or may not be) a millionaire ?. And no, I don't buy the 'Sun' to simply ignore his advice, I like to compare and contrast, usually to my disadvantage. And I am pleased that despite your detestation of 'the sun', you do not have similar feelings for the remainder of the Murdoch empire.

    Do you not see the front pages of other papers when you pick yours up...or see the front page of papers that others are reading on the train/tube....or in the cafe...or in work...or do you not browse the internet & see others talking about it & linking photos of it?

    You clearly read the sun.

    I have told jokes about Jonathan Ross' too on here.

    I don't write headlines for a national newspaper though.
  • This of course is the beginning of the media campaign to oust Roy Hodgson...the opening shots if you like. They've obviously decided that this speech issue is as good a place to start as any. The aim being to get into the subconscience of it's football following readership thats he's dim witted and ultimately an embarrassment to the country. If this isn't holted the constant drip effect will eventually take its toll and could see him being forced from the post.

    Mind you, such tactics are not new to the media and have proved successful in the past. We've been here before. And the target last time the press launched such a campaign?...Graham `Turnip' Taylor.

    i buy the sun, mainly for the fact that 7.30am when im still half asleep and its easy to read when im on the train. I thnik what they wrote about Roy was out of order, but i also think other rags are just as bad with their own agenda. I wouldnt use a newspaper to make a judgement on somebody. In terms of people from CL thinking less of me cos i do buy it, i couldnt really give a shit.
  • Forget about the hodgson bit


    A murdered girls family were left with hope because of that rag


    Scum end of


    Used to buy it daily wouldn't dream of it now
