Re: Matt Le Tissier Sacking

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

Those Marxist billionaires!

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

Re: Matt Le Tissier Sacking

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.

Re: Matt Le Tissier Sacking

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 ?

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.

Re: Matt Le Tissier Sacking

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!)

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

Re: Matt Le Tissier Sacking

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?

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.

This.
And the video lost me at “I was talking to Nigel farage the other day..”

That was the interviewer who said that and at the end of the day thats his job, so why wouldn't he speak to Nigel Farage. What has it got to do with the Matt Le Tissier situation anyway ?

Re: Matt Le Tissier Sacking

Batsh!t crazy former excellent footballer (who decided not to join a bigger club) has lost his role at Sky because he’s starting to attract attention to his rantings.
Whilst he’s entitled to his opinion, he is in the public eye and his assertions are at the very least controversial and to many people - disrespectful, particularly when so many have died from COVID or the war in Ukraine.
Sky is the very media that he distrusts, so is it any wonder that they don’t want to be associated with him?

He has said on numerous occasions that people don't have the ability to think for themselves, that's code for not agreeing with him.

Fabulous player.

He was stunning, and he scored some of the best PL goals of the 90s - but an all-time great? I'm not sure he did anywhere near enough for that.

It's nice that he stayed at Southampton, but he never played at the champions League level, or in Europe at all as far as I remember (may be wrong). Serie A was a bigger deal in his era. I'd love to have seen him play there, though I just can't see him measuring up against the all-time greats like Zidane, Baggio, Batistuta, or even the "second string greats" of the time like Mihajlovic or Hagi.
