No one sets back the advancement of black culture in the UK more than Jason Roberts and the Black Lawyers society. Black players in this country must be cringing going into this weekends fixtures thanks to these self promoting idiots.
No doubt the media will be called by other meddlers up and down the country with stories of racist abuse during the upcoming matches and set relations back even further.

mm, he shouldnt have used the word monkey when referring to black people
i don't think he's racist any more than u do. The fact is he's put his foot in it, made a gaffe whatever. I expected better from him, this is like something big Ron would have done

Hes English,the Irish and Scots happy to find fault.
The Irish and Scots couldn't care less about inoffensive stuff said at English team meetings.
Only the real racists out there are trying to invent a problem here out of nothing.

He wasnt referring to a black person Freddie , he was referring to a player. Roy Hodgson doesnt look at Townsend and see a black man first and everything else second. He sees an English footballer who is having the week of his life and in front of the rest of the experienced players and squad tells a tale that implies he is the man for the occassion.
The only people who see a black man in this 'story' are the naive cretins trying to make out something its not. Perhaps you should take a good look at yourself Freddie because unless you are on a wind up you clearly cannot separate a mans colour from his standing as a person.

He wasn't referring to black people though was he.
Comparing him to Ron 'Lazy ****g ******' Atkinkson is way off the mark.

This story obviously hasn't had the effect the Sun wanted it to have. What with it being almost unanimously discredited as a completely ridiclous non-story on social networking sites, plus Townsend himself and Rooney coming to Roy's defence, all in all it's made the Sun look pretty stupid.
They've gone from yesterdays headline story, front page news to it barely warranting a mention in todays paper. you'd have expected the 'England manager in race row' to have at least had some kind of follow up, but no they appear to have moved on already. Can't think why?!

wallis, im not the one in the wrong. You don't refer to a black man either indirectly or directly as a monkey in this day and age. So either u accept that woy has been insensitive or we give him a pass cos he's old
as i said already you can't say anything that can be construed as racist or racially insensitive when you're in his position
he's supposed to be a safe pair of hands and he's now caused the biggest furore since Hoddle's comments

Perhaps we should strike all primates from the dictionary then Freddie. Roy hasnt caused any furore, the person who has done is the brave man who gave the story to the newspaper. I wonder if this 'champion of black people' was paid for his story ?? because if he was that offended Im sure he wouldnt have been trying to make some financial gain out it (that was sarcasm).
If Andros Townsend cant understand what the fuss is about then how can you possibly level racist allegations at Roy Hodgson - are you the injured party ? have you found his comments insulting to your way of life ? somehow I doubt it. Roberts and the lawyers are just self promoting and doing nothing other than whipping up racial hatred which is allegedly what they are trying to stamp out.

just try and put yourself in Woy's position at half-time. you just wouldn't say it would u?
however much u want to defend him u surely can't deny he's been insensitive. Stuff like that is not on the table. this is 2013

Freddie , is the anecdote a tale about how the famous, glamorous and popular people are being outshone by a lesser known therefore continue letting him do what he is doing ? or is it a racist slur on black people ?
Once you can answer that honestly that should give you everything you need to know about how stupid this whole thing is.
I feel sorry for Townsend because this was one of the best weeks of his life and its been ruined by PC idiots and someone inside the England setup that has stabbed him in the back for the sake of trying to undermine Hodgson and make a few quid. As said earlier on the thread How long will it be before some idiot starts monkey chanting at him the next time he plays football ?
andros townsend @andros_townsend 8h
I don't know what all this fuss is about. No offence was meant and none was taken! It's not even news worthy!

When I take my daughter to the zoo I will be on my guard to look around for any black footballers, lawyers or journos before saying 'look at the monkeys' as we approach the enclosure. Heaven forbid it could be misconstrued.
I mean fancy referring to a monkey as a monkey. We all now know that when referring to an actual monkey we should use the term 'the animal formerly known as a monkey.' That way there is absolutely no room for doubt.
Thank God Roy didn't use a blackboard too to demonstrate his point or the poor fella would, as we speak, be stripping down to his undercrackers for a public flogging outside FA HQ.
The great paradox is such nonsensical cries of racism actually stir race divisions amongst the mentally weak.

wallis, you don't seem to want to criticise woy in any shape or form. You don't think he was tactless even?
hes alleged to have said "no offence" after the monkey reference, so he probably knows he's effed up and is intelligent enough to know that saying something like that can be taken as offensive. I can understand his frustration that this has been leaked but ultimately its his fault. It came from his mouth and anything else is just blaming the messenger. theres been dressing room leaks before.
I hope he's learned his lesson and leaves his chubby brown/bernard manning joke book at home in future.

well what did u expect him to say?? "I'm seething with my manager right now"?!!
and if some idiots do direct monkey chants at Townsend now, their manager has given them an excuse.

Freddie, such apologist drivel is the reason why the PC brigade run riot. Roy is a lot of things but is certainly no racist and trying to twist his words to suit an agenda epitomises all that is wrong with 'kick it out.'
All it does is invent a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. As a multicultural society most people treat each other as human beings and this is not subject to skin tone. But we are continually force fed the myth that racism is prevelant in English football.
It isn't, we are not in Poland or the Ukraine.

charwell, would u tell the same joke around black people?
doubt it.
doubt it.
I totally agree Charwell. This countries record compared to Europe as far as racism goes is exceptional. Why people feel a constant need to keep fueling a fire is beyond me. It does nothing but create problems that were not there.
Im dropping out of this as Freddie clearly has issues with Hodgson or at some point will claim he is fishing to save his embarrassment.
The correct approach should be to get the person who leaked the story in front of a camera and ask them :
1. What exactly did you find so offensive and can you explain your position on racism ?
2. Considering you were so outraged you leaked it to a newspaper did you get paid for it ?

Wallis is clearly employed as Woy's PR man. who's embarrassed? Its woy hodgson who is mate. With his 1970's humour

First of all, it's an old joke about the monkey being more intelligent than the human so the monkey does all the technical work and the human is only there to feed the monkey.
Seems Roy felt that Townsend was doing all the work and was telling the other players to feed him (give him the ball)
charwell, would u tell the same joke around black people?
you could quite easily tell that joke around black people as it contains absolutely nothing whatever that black people might find offensive.
Of course if you were a racist and thought of black people as monkeys then you probably wouldn't tell that joke around them.
That joke is only offensive to racists so let's see how many on this forum are offended by it.

yeah, good luck using that in an office environment or even your local sports team after delivering the punchline in reference to a black colleague

Indefatigably yes - have you ever met any black people Freddy, you know properly met, talked to, get to know, not just talk about Bob Marley when you've had a few? You'll find most of them are quite human donchano, sense of humour, ability to spot bullocks 'news' stories , that sort of ting..............

Monkey has become and has long been synonymous with racism it's noises are mimicked it's food has been thrown onto pitches it's mannerisms also mimicked
The mere fact that a story with no racial connotation when made can now be turned into a racist remark is indicative of where we currently sit as a society

I have never read or heard of such bollox in my life what a load of crap--i have played football rugby boxed socialised and been locked up with blokes all my life -who if you called them JOCK-TAFFY-PADDY-YANK-BUBBLE-SWEATY-KAISER-ANDi dare not say on here the blacks--AND NOT ONE OF THEMwould take offence or see it as racist--what has this country come to absolute playground stuff-
The absolute lack of intent by Hodgeson seems clear, but I don't see any harm in him making an apology for his innocent mistake in case anybody misconstrued it.
Anyone who thinks it needs further investigation is a moron though imo.

im pleased the black lawyers raised a complaint and more so that the vast majority agree
that their complaint is without foundation
no point brushing this stuff under the carpet or being afraid to mention it

Would love it if Townsend came out on twitter and told Herbert to shut the f*ck up. The bloke appears to be doing more harm than good.
The Irish and Scots should not be commentating on this affair...
Stop trying to undermine the England team, that is your only concern!

I must admit to being a bit surprised how plenty aren't getting it, he wasn't referring to the monkey singularly, he was referring to the monkeys performance in being the most important part of the mission and directly comparing that situation with townsend in that he was the most effective component in the match scenario...by doing this he was directly bracketing the two....is he a racist, no of course not, but he has been undeniably naive and stupid to trip over this in this day and age.
I would Freddie and my black friend at work would have absolutely no second thought that I had a racist intention. You see we go for the odd drink after work, chat about the football and so forth. Why would an anecdote about a monkey be anything other than an anecdote about a monkey?
You may be well meaning and genuine but you are very, very misguided.
You may be well meaning and genuine but you are very, very misguided.
because he was comparing townsends role as the same role as the monkeys ...that's why.
Naievity that i find endearing in this day and age.........such innocence is a pleasant rarity.
correct Duffy. some lads like Charwell are acting like whats all the fuss about?!
which is ridiculous given how often black footballers have been on the receiving odd of racist monkey chants and here we have the England manager introducing a monkey reference into the dressing room in relation to a Black player.
FFS!
Woy must be feeling rather mortified right about now.

shouldnt be using anything with monkey where a black person is involved...even the example hodgeson used.
no excuse imo hodgeson must have known about the wacial angle...he has been around long enough.
if you have a point to make just come out with it properly.

Looking through the squad i'm starting to think it was Defoe.
The journo in question (Gordon Smart) has said it was a player that went directly to him after the game and was offended by it. Smart used to edit the celebrity gossip page of the Sun and would no doubt know Defoe who's often moving in celebrity circles due to his various ex's.
So if there was a market for this, my money would be on him.
If you're offended by a comment, you should have the b*llocks to go and speak to the person that's offended you. Even more so when they are your boss. Running off and bitching about it is embarrassing. I hope we find out who it is and they get plenty of stick for it. The squad doesn't need players like that.

read the joke itself and it will become clearer, it's quite well known...in this scenario, townsend was playing the part of the monkey referenced by hodgson...the fact that hodgson said straight afterwards, no offence, displays that he was well aware that he's gaffed.!
Racist chants at matches-throwing banana skins etc NO place for it in football 100 per cent---but this is pathetic obviously just a throw away remark ---forget it now or it will just cause deeper trouble imo
Thats not aknowledgement of a gaffe only a suggestion that Townsend should not infer anything incorrectly.
A nice and charming post from pekerdunne..certainly goes beyond the obvious
need of most people to feel superiour and jump to condemn.

So you don't think players talk?
I'd say there's a very good chance the senior players, Hodgson and his back room staff know exactly who it was by now.

I hear it may be fat frank who is the snake in the grass
Nothing more PC than a white man being offended on behalf of a black man, even when the black man doesn't take offence.
Interviewer: How are we going to get rid of racism?
Morgan Freeman: Stop talking about it! I'm going to stop calling you a white man. And I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man. I know you as Mike Wallis, you know me as Morgan Freeman….

Welcome back.

the sniveling grass is the real issue here, not some harmless joke that has people like freddiek on their soap box with fake outrage.
I cant believe that no one knows the original joke??? its racist, he said a different version.. apparently, cant see him surviving this tbh if anyone jumps on the original joke bandwagon
Charwell , Fat Frank ? I dont believe it. Its not as if he has an uncle who would be interested in the England job should Hodgson be sacked. He is hardly a bitter relative that only a few weeks ago slated Roy and the selection system just before Hodgson and Englands biggest match of the season.
And its not like the paper that broke the story happens to be the same one that employs said uncle to write a column for them. Or that its the paper that printed the article claiming Stuart Pearce was a racist for saying something 20 odd years ago to scupper any chance Pearce had of getting the job. You would have to be mad to suggest that they have been putting up the Uncle as "the peoples choice" for the last two years.
Besides , why would Frank do it ? He was only hauled off in the first game and benched for the second one and clearly will be missing out come next summer. Im sure he would have taken that with dignity and not be on the phone to the family first chance he got...
You are clearly mad Charwell.

good job di canio didn't say it. ww3 would have broken out.
what's worse:
(a) considering an anecdote about nasa, but then looking up, seeing a black player and deciding not to tell it in case it causes offence, or
(b) considering an anecdote about nasa, looking up and seeing a young England player and deciding it will give him a lift and telling it
Arguably (b) is more naïve, but not racist imo...

It doesn't matter if Townsend wasn't offended by it, the person who reported it obviously was, so it is an issue.
The truth will come out then the shiit will it the fan. Unless the player who got offended was white, then Woy may get away with it.
Who wouldn't raise an eyebrow if they were told to feed the monkey (the monkey being a black player) if they were in a dressing room.

and thats the point
thats why you dont go there and use "monkey" in any way at all when there are black people present.
why not just say give the ball to townsend because the rest of you useless ****s cant do it better.
may upset a few egos but its certainly not racist

The one comment the vast majority of commentators all say when referring to a big black player is ' He is a Beast! ' now i'm pretty sure the Beast in question is the beast we are all thinking about at the time so why are they allowed to get away with that particular comment every time in fact no one ever pulls them up about it.
They are not saying ' He is a Beast ' because he is playing like a Elephant or Jaguar or Leopard or Giant Sloth but no body bats an eyebrow.
Surely it's time for comments like that to be questioned?

The player in question hasn't been specifically named on any of the previous pages but ther was a subtle reference to him earlier.
I wonder if other countries press tries to destroy their national team time and time again like ours do.
Just can't believe how quickly this was done, even by their standards it was fast.

Like I said earlier someone said Micah Richards was a beast it wasn't in a bad way. Just as I'm sure woy never meant it
But if I was coloured I wouldn't like being called either
Woy realised what he'd said and apparently said no offence which sort of makes it worse. I presume then he panicked and told the stupid joke
He was apparently really foul mouthed as well that don't help

Good thinking there Biscuit . If you google: ' Gordon Smart Jermaine Defoe ' it brings up loads of crap celeb stuff written by Smart featuring Defoe . Also , though he did a recent interview with Lampard and was plugging his kids books . Nothing for Smalling, so looks likely one of those 2 .
Agree totally out the rat, but to come on here wildly accusing people Jermaine Defonebox is bang out of order, i think ur a prick !
everyone knows jermaines a 1st class fcukwit so wouldnt worry about that...
lol @ jermaine using the word "coloured",well i would if it was intentional but he really is that ignorant so...
can't be bothered reading all this
Who was it?
my guess is glen johnson......cna imagine he had a phone chat with one of his team mates and decided to get his own back on woy for comments about him when he was somehow made boss at ours (wubber stamped by gerarrd )

Took Freddie Starr longer than normal to be sniffing around my s hit tube with usual nasty little comments We are all allowed to say who we think it is a its a forum .As you have reported me numerous times and I'm still here Maybe you should give up calling me names or I could lower myself to your level and report you I have dozens of your posts calling me very offensive things.
Starr' seems to be very unhappy since the benefit clampdown.

Using the word "Coloured" is totally wrong!!
Bloody surprised people still use this term as its been considered NON-PC for at least 15 years!!

F*ck P-C, lets get back to Britain being a place renowned for freedom of speech, where people don't need to think about what they say for fear of being accused of being a racist. There is not a chance in hell that Roy was using the term Monkey in a racist manner. Shouldn't be an issue. Other Countries are laughing their heads off at Britain, having gone from a great nation to a shower of sh!t, with all of us accusing each other of racism.
does nobody get upset that a player is so stupid that he doesn't understand the anecdote?
I am seething now that a player that dumb can get selected to play for his Country! Forget the brazen treachery. No wonder we can't win anything without the help of a Russian linesman!

oh man I hope I didn't offend anyone by using the term dumb when I meant stupid!
The player in question hasn't been specifically named on any of the previous pages but ther was a subtle reference to him earlier.
I am a clever sod.......

The journalist who first published the news claimed his information had come directly from a player who was in the dressing room and who disputed Hodgson’s account. Admitting it was not impossible his source had simply misheard the manager, Gordon Smart told talkSport: “I told my man and told them what the FA had said and what Roy was saying and he was disgusted. He was horrified by it and just said, ‘I can’t believe that, that’s not how I heard it, I’m still offended’.”
Speaking before the FA investigation, Smart added: “He still feels exactly the same today and actually feels like it’s a bit of a cover-up.”

the player is working class and therefore unlikely to be capable of logical thought.
any interpretation he put on what was said is best ignored.

"Working class not capable of logical thought"!
This is yet another storm in a teacup, people being offended on behalf of others. Most of the time the one who's supposed to be offended couldn't care less.
Sad times

Jason Roberts is earning a living from the BBC on the back of accusing people of racism ,this is a farce Greg ****'s commission is made up of people who have everybodys interest at heart ,if you get a Black person on the committee you know whose interests they will look after
So what have we learned so far.
Roy Hodgson is not a racist.
Andros Townsend was flattered by the joke but not offended.
The FA are holding an enquiry to find the cause of the leak. Whoever it was deserves to be told, in no uncetain terms, what an odiuos liitle cretin he/she is.

scottish reporter banished home to glasgow from london trying to make a big deal out of it to get back to london ?
it aint racist, so they can have as many enquiries as they wish, the result will be the same
there is still plenty of racism to be tackled but people making themselves look stupid over this will
lose credibility for their ongoing fight
the sooner they see that the sooner they can get themselves onto dikes committees !!!

Dykes committee should be made up people in the game that have on won things, with a proven record of success in the game,nothing else.

The England player who leaked the Roy Hodgson space monkey joke is angry at Andros Townsend for backing his manager, says the journalist who broke the story.
Gordon Smart, editor of the Scottish Sun, has confirmed that his source is indeed an England player rather than one of their associates. He has also claimed that the player was one of several who were offended by Hodgson's joke.
During his half-time team talk for England's World Cup qualifier against Poland last Tuesday, Hodgson encouraged his side to pass the ball as often as possible to Townsend by using a NASA joke including the line "feed the monkey".
Smart revealed the story on Wednesday night, with Townsend taking to Twitter the next day to insist he had not been offended. Wayne Rooney also defended Hodgson by saying the situation was "ridiculous".
"He [the source] was angry about Andros Townsend tweeting the following day [to say he was not offended] because he assures me Andros was upset by it," Smart said on BBC Radio 5 Live's Sportsweek programme.
"The following morning [after the Poland game] I got a call from an England player who wasn't very happy at all about what had gone on in the dressing room.
"I said to the player, 'Do you think this is a good idea to go public? Is there not another way for you to go through with this? Should you not go to the FA about this? Have you spoken to Roy?'
"He said no, he wanted to go public and that he wasn't the only player who was upset. They had agreed they wanted to go public with it.
"I called it in to the office and during the day more than one player did corroborate that Roy had made this remark, that it was taken the wrong way. Across the board everyone did agree it was taken the wrong way.
"I don't for one second think Roy Hodgson is racist. I just think he chose his words really unwisely and misjudged the room.
"As I understood it, it was Roy speaking to Chris Smalling and telling him not to muck about with it and to feed the monkey. There were a few extra words in there that I can't repeat at this time of day on the radio.
"It was taken the wrong way and I know that one senior player and Gary Neville looked at each other and at that point said to Roy: 'I think you better explain what you have just said there'. That was when he explained the NASA anecdote."
When quizzed about the identity of his source, Smart was adamant it was an England player, but refused to confirm whether they had featured in Tuesday's clash with Poland. He said: "One hundred per cent direct from the horse's mouth, an England player speaking to me direct.
"I've got to be careful about jigsaw identification," he added.
"If I go in to detail about whether they played or whether they didn't play that would lead to it narrowing it down who it was, so I can't say either way. It's only fair that I protect my source on that."

So Hodgson , without any preamble about NASA , just pointed at Townshend and said 'Feed The Monkey!' 
best guess, it's gonna be one of the man utd boys and this is spillover from the ferdinand thing a year or so back.
smart seems well connected at man u.

Thought smart was gonna name n shame the grass. Gradually trying to distance himself
Like I said at start of Fred woy used the story to cover up calling andros a cheeky monkey. Harmless but not good
Still don't know for sure but think we agree viva. Neville sticking his snout in the trough like billy big balls again
I started off liking the guy on tv but he's getting smuggler by the day
fergie has been using the press for decades and all the contacts are still there
Now it's all starting up about his stinking book never heard so much hype about a book he didn't write anyway or if he did he's got the fastest wring in the west
Still going small here

"I don't for one second think Roy Hodgson is racist. I just think he chose his words really unwisely and misjudged the room.
So let's run a Hodgson race row story then
I still think it's Defoe.

So now there's a horse involved. The plot thickens

But Oleh luzhnyi is Ukrainian - maybe he was on a spring mission as they're in the same group
Interesting, Biscuit. As soon as I heard it, I thought Tottenham. Why? Because Harry had been using the press to stick the knife into Woy ahead of the qualifiers. 'Arry plays such great attacking football after all - he says so himself. Who wants to remember a long history of tedious 0-0 draws, such as against Stevenage in the Cup... but I'm not bitter!
So, I immediately thought, this is someone loyal to Mr Pockets Full O'Cash, who doesn't get a game under Woy, who thinks he should be playing and who, lets be honest, is black. Defoe ticks all those boxes. Plus, he's someone who appears close to the press for a number of reasons.

Smart hasn't been so smart
Reckon he wishes he could go back and keep quiet. Been made to look a mug and will eventually have to reveal the facts. Not these little brush offs he keeps doing
Rival papers are gunning for him and the player
Still was a dated and stupid thing for woy to do .
Who will be the first player to expose the grass. Rooney for me I like the guy more now never did before.i like his show of loyalty to woy more than Neville's slimy think you'd better explain yourself woy

How was it slimy from Neville? He's just letting Roy know his comment may have been misunderstood.
Smalling in TV interviews has truck me as someone of intelligence and as such i think the culprit will be someone of lesser IQ.
