You are the England manager and it is half time ; your team faces the most decisive and critical 45 minutes of the World Cup campaign. Do you......
a) Tell the team to get the ball to your best player at every opportunity.
b) Tell a joke about space monkeys and retro boosters.
Press the blue or yellow button now!

He won't make the same teamtalk against those countries. He did what worked against Poland. We won, and we move on. I really don't see what all the fuss is about!!

The last time England played the teams you mention above they only lost to Germany and Holland (2nd and 3rd at the last WC) so nothing to fear there anyway ;) ps. Well done Scotland on that 4th place in a group of 6th. |

What was the actual joke that caused the Pretendy Offence please?
|
|
By:
The joke is one that became popular in US space agency NASA in the 1960s and 1970s after it sent monkeys into space before humans.
One version of the joke is that the first time NASA sends a man up into space a monkey goes with him and does all the skilled technical jobs inside the rocket. Finally the astronaut gets frustrated and radios NASA to ask what he should do. NASA replies: "Don't touch anything - just feed the monkey." It is believed Hodgson was trying to illustrate the need for England's defenders to play the ball early to ex-Yeovil Town legend Andros Townsend while he was in space on the flanks. http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/article/2/8976793/fa-gives-hodgson-full-backing |

Am I the only man in Europe who thought it was funny?
The manager of England telling his team an esoteric joke going into an important 45 minutes? What was that film with Bobby Grant out of Brookside? Roy has gone up a notch in my estimations,he is now at notch 1. |
|
By:
I assume Hodgsy said ''just feed the monkey.''
No wonder they're giving him a hard time. Double standards here from the FA for letting him get away with it. |
|
By:
I prefer the notion that in the original joke the astronaut was black.
|
|
By:
A stark reminder that the game was long ago hijacked by the thought peelers.

Truly extraordinary scenes indeed that this monkey nonsense should be the source of news and imagined offence.
How very different from this grotesque example below of hateful language being used against a black footballer, by someone who believe it or not worked in the Anti-Racism industry. The victim was called a n***er, which is reputedly the very worst insult in the entire lexicon of racist hate, yet the perpetrator hasn't faced a police investigation, let alone be dragged to court like the admittedly appalling Terry. Why not? Take your pick. . http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2283318/Paul-Elliott-resigns-FA-racism-row-Richard-Rufus.html . http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4800119/Football-anti-racism-champion-Paul-Elliott-uses-n-word.html . http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/england/9889718/Paul-Elliott-resigns-from-Football-Association-after-sending-racist-text-message.html Plus a few reports from hypocrite liberal media sources that didn't quite have the honesty to report the full vile details . http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/paul-elliott-quits-fa-post-after-richard-rufus-race-row-8508206.html . http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21559781 . http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/feb/23/paul-elliott-quits-kick-it-out-fa |

^^^^ Chris Rock impression gone wrong IMO

By:
Roy is paid for to win football matches, not for the quality of his jokes
that is all that matters Well done Roy  The joke is not offensive and anyway Roy can tell as many jokes as he likes, offensive or inoffensive, as far as I am concerned if England bring back the WC from Brazil which is all us England football supporters want |

Using what is considered a racist term in the heat of the moment, does not make someone a racist
It is being a member of the Klu Klux clan or similar, makes you a racist We have become a sad pathetic society, which seems happy to condemn someone's whole life on one word no wonder our society is in such a mess |
