Matt Le Tissier Sacking

[Harry Paget Flashman]

I would be interested to see his rebuttal to some of that, although I do remember him writing some nonsense about Anne Frank, which really..I mean, if ever there is a topic to leave alone it's that!

From the video, it's mainly the BLM stuff that did for him, and I think that is totally wrong, as it is a political organisation backed by a specific theory on race relations and not signing up to it is perfectly legitimate and it should never have been foisted on people on TV in the first place (nor should wearing a poppy be mandatory btw, before someone brings that up!)

It would be interesting to hear Skys take on the sacking. Maybe it was all the above and not just the BLM piece. Having one side of the story is the full picture.

It’s possibly easier for him to blame that as there’s plenty of that type of person in the country that is against people championing BLM. Throw in his other conspiracies and he’s elevated from champion of the gammons to fruitcake.

Did he say that in this interview or previously ?

Think he's tweeted about a fair number of those.

[robjohn44]

he was also asked to step down from his role as an ambassador for Southampton - a club where he's a genuine legend, after publicly denying Russian war crimes in Ukraine.

absolutely loved him as a player, all the more because he wasn't at a big club. even without all the conspiracy shite he was a pretty boring pundit.

How do you know theres Russian war crimes ? you dont believe our media and governments do you ?

Or did the only journalist left Julian assange give you proof like he did for our war crimes ?

Welcome to the new world including a small few on CCMB if your view is not to the liking your a C!!t or T!!t

Classic for me is having a view on Taking the knee (or taking a knee) you even get picked up for getting that description wrong

Welcome to the world as it ever was where Life on Mars cries about people being called a c**t on a thread where no one's said anything of the sort

Thought LeTissier coped well with the searingly difficult questions he was asked.

Nice Insult you obviously know nothing of the political and social aims of the marxist blm agenda supported by billionaires.

Come on now. The real victim in all of this is Life On Mars. The epic struggle continues.

I agree.

If he doesn't, then why don't you tell him?

Those Marxist billionaires!

[Pearcey3]

There is a lot of right wing garbage spread about cancel culture. Piers Morgan is one of the biggest offenders. Yet unless you believe in his views he would want you cancelled. An example being his complaint Welsh footballers were not singing GSTQ at the London Olympics so they should not have been allowed to play. Cancel culture when it suits.

Le Tissier would have been very well paid by SKY for 15 years. They chose not to renew his contract. He didn’t have a job for life there nor should have expected to. He hasn’t been cancelled. He has just not had his contract renewed. Big deal.

[Rjk]

If he doesn't, then why don't you tell him?

if there's one thing billionaires are known for its their Marxist agendas right?

The most underrated player of the Premier League era IMO.

I applaud him for taking a stand and saying what he believes.
I disagree with him on vaccines and I disagreed with his retweet about Bucha (which he deleted and apologized for).

I don't think he has been canceled I've not heard him say that he is being canceled.

He raises some valid points which in an ideal world should be discussed sensibly.

I watched his Undr The Cosh appearance yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Do you think he was underrated as a player? Maybe he didn't play much for England, but everyone thought he was amazing.

I would suggest that you just turn your tv on, no sound, and watch the coverage of Ukraine. If you think that what appears in front if your eyes is not Russian atrocities being carried out then there is no hope for you. Did Ukraine invade Russia ? Has Ukraine been blowing up its own buildings with people inside ? Have Ukrainian snipers been deliberately shooting its own people and shoving the bodies in open graves ? Honest to god man, how can you make comments like that ?

He wasn't underrated as a player in my opinion. Spurs and Chelsea came knocking while he was at Southampton, and maybe Manchester United, i'm not sure on that one. He just didn't fancy it, was happy in Southampton.

He can't rebut it - that's exactly what he tweeted/retweeted.

[Undercoverinwurzelland]

You clearly didn't listen to what he said in that interview. He didn't want to wear a political slogan and criticised lockdowns. Seems reasonable. Or do you support global media organisations over a small degree of freedom of expression?

Oh yeah, me thinking it's a stupid idea to regularly retweet bullshit means I support global media organisations over a small degree of freedom of expression. Of course it does.

What do you think is currently happening in Ukraine?

[JamesWales]

Well on the first point, he would probably say it was taken out of context. People stupidly get referred to nazis all the time it doesn't necessarily mean you take it literally. But I agree, it's stupid territory to enter.

I do, if he wasn't English...he'd be considered an all time great.

Be it the England thing or the looks I get when I respond to the question of who's the best player in the Premier League era.

Fabulous player.
