Why was he sacked by Sky ?

By:
He was fired because some people pretended they were offended by some of his comments on the Bennell scandal in the world of football.

Many of us spend so much time worrying about the future and regretting the past that we forget to live.

I'd have fired Bristow myself. Hate the PC and I'm offended rhetoric that litters the UK now but Bristow crossed the line.
That said a thoroughly engaging and entertaining bloke who put darts on the map. Very sad to see his passing. |

RIP Eric
 He was born in my 'manor' Hackney, so I have sort of followed his career even though I am not a great fan of darts. One thing has struck me lately reading obituaries of famous people who were working class but made good, and were about chit chatters age, is that many of them went to grammar school. It was a great opportunity to succeed in whatever field it seemed. |

Don't drink just posting a fact..
Former darts world champion Eric Bristow has suggested football abuse victims are not "proper men" - and has been criticised on social media. More than 20 ex-footballers have come forward with allegations of historical child sex abuse in the sport, and five police forces are investigating claims. But Bristow, 59, questioned why they did not "sort out" their abusers "when they got older and fitter". One of the ex-players, Steve Walters, was "disgusted" by Bristow's remarks. Football abuse coach Bennell in hospital Who is Barry Bennell? Abuse claims: What has happened so far? Writing on Twitter, Bristow, who was made an MBE in 1989, said darts players were "tough guys" and footballers "wimps". He added the victims should not be able to look themselves in the mirror for not "getting their own back" on their abusers in adulthood. Several former footballers have waived their right to anonymity in order to go public and raise awareness of alleged historical abuse in football, a step which has won praise from politicians, sport administrators and abuse charities. Walters has alleged he was abused as a youth player by convicted paedophile and former Crewe coach Barry Bennell. In other tweets later deleted, Bristow said he "would have went back and sorted that poof out" - before later clarifying he "meant paedophile not poof" Knees up mother brown.. |

Farckin bell, I was just doing my end of year ISA/financial thinking and wondering about pensions and old age. With all these people dropping age 60/61 I'm wondering if I'd just be better blowing it all on fast cars, fast women, and 20 year old malt.. Wasn't 20-year-old malt in fact the reason that Wilkins and Bristow barely made it past sixty? Stick to fast cars and fast women is the lesson I took. Not that the latter leave you much scope for funding a pension in my experience. |
