    The only conflict is the one they are creating.
  • Does this mean Louis no longer has to hold back on the podcast?

    Charlton Live could be such a strong voice against the regime, perhaps Louis no longer has to pretend to be balanced??

    We all know RD & KM are know-nothing bob-ends.

  • What the club seem to be missing is having been freed from commentating for CAFC Louis can now be even more critical in what he says, should be choose.

    He's still going to working for the BBC and SLP so they haven't shut him up.

    Not sure if the tent and pissing out metaphor is well known in Belgium but I'm sure Tony Kehone will be able to explain it to you Katrien.

    Precisely.

    It's fairly obvious that Louis has been holding back.

    What's the incentive to do so now?

    Silly.

    I like your thinking, Henry.

    A bit like a mole with insider knowledge to impart to the "opposition".

    ( Was going to add that he's black & white too, then realised I had my moles confused with my badgers ! DOH !)

    while it's disappointing, you can hardly be surprised by the clubs actions.

    I don't think any of us, could work with someone, when there's a conflict of interest.
  • Louis, I've really enjoyed your commentaries. The club lurches from one cock up to another with such alarming regularity.
  • Bloody disgraceful - but typical

    It's brilliant, since the Fraeye debacle Katrien's gone into hiding and the one action she seems to have taken since then is to stop a commentator commentating.

    It's like The Thick of It. Actually, shit, I've just had a great idea for a TV show..

    The only reason there is a conflict of interest is because the club is such a shambles...
    Once upon a time, we were all on the same side.

    How about a chant tomorrow of " One Louis Mendez, there's only one Louis Mendez..."

    Very good Fanny,
    But i thought you were going with:

    "your never gag the Charlton" but i guess that would be a conflict of interest ?

    I always find myself thinking, "surely the club can't do anything else to wind us up more" to find they have something else up their sleeve.

    It's like they've got the fire hoses out to dowse the fire, but they've actually hooked it up to the supreme unleaded at BP

    I enjoy the Charlton Live podcasts but have always been itching for them to properly let loose on the situation rather than being so guarded. Hopefully they will get the chance to do that more going forwards.

    Are you besmirching my good name, sam ?

    PLEASE don't give them ideas, moots !

    So after dear old Pete Finch resigns from doing the CAFC commentary in protest at what this regime is about, Terry Smith takes over and is now assisted by Louis. Its been easy among those 3 to be able to complete the 'match thread' (remember Emma? when I couldn't describe much action due to commentary on boot colour etc).
    Now I presume it'll be down to Terry on his own, which is really difficult for 90 minutes. Unless of course, like last week, we dont get Charlton commentary and we have to put up with atrocious commentary from the likes of Hull!!
    If I was a cynic, I would even think that last weeks commentary didn't work so Terry couldn't broadcast either!!
    Sorry to hear this Louis, but you can now open up a bit more working for The Beeb and SLP.
    Better communication......yeah whatever!!

    PS I wonder, if after all my emails to her, she will try and shut down the match thread?

    I would love details.

    Who asked?
    How was it 'asked'?
    What were the overt or implied sanctions?
    Who is the 'approved' commentator?
    How were the so called 'conflicts' framed or made explicit?

    Is this why there was no Charlton commentary against Hull?

    Charlton Live is broadcast from the Valley, but what Louis has done very well on Charlton Live is simply read out the listeners tweets and emails, probably uncomfortable listening for the powers that be.

    I didn't actually mean 'do one.'

    Sorry
