Fucking dirtbag

 

"Everyone knows Suárez is a great footballer, I just wish at times he could fall in to line because footballers are role models and Gareth and Robin van Persie are really good examples for the younger generation,"

 

Him and the fucking footballing establishment in England need calling out on shit like that.

 

I'm not going to bother with Van Persie, I don't know the ins and outs of his story.

 

But Bale, that fucking cuntbag, that lad has been booked numerous times for diving this year and been highlighted numerous times over when hes gotten away with it. Always with a chuckle from the pundits of course.

 

Its getting out of hand at this point using examples like him as a stick to beat Suarez with.

I wish we could pull all our players from the union and anything to do with the FA. I'd love Gerrard to give up his England captaincy and tell them to go fuck themselves. I'd love the club to pull out of the FA cup. I know none of this will happen but it's nice to think about it for a minute.

Posted this in the PFA thread but have re-posted here as it just shows what a self-serving, full of himself knobhead Taylor is.

 

"Taylor was a regular at a restaurant we used to go.

 

He always insisted on the private dining room upstairs because he didn't want to be bothered by people.

 

He would then spend at least half the night wandering around downstairs in the hope that someone would recognise him!

 

Very few people did."

People usually bring his wages in to it when having a go at Taylor.

I don't have a problem with that myself, not in principle anyway - he's head of a union which has some VERY high earners among its members, even further down the league there are plenty who earn more than most of us can dream of. So it's no surprise that someone involved in such an "industry" also earns a very good wedge.

Except for one thing.

He's absolutely shit at his job, everything he says is shite and many of the things he comes out with are factually wrong, often displaying unbelievable levels of ignorance, both generally and, at times about individual cases.

Plus he's a fucking cunt!

THAT'S why he is overpaid!

PFA boss Gordon Taylor cleared of speeding charges

Gordon Taylor Gordon Taylor's lawyer said police letters to his client were addressed incorrectly

 

Footballers' trade union boss Gordon Taylor has been cleared of failing to provide police details after two alleged speeding offences.

 

The chief executive of the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) did not attend Manchester Magistrates Court.

 

His lawyer Nick Freeman argued "typographical" errors on police papers meant Mr Taylor had to be cleared.

 

The court heard a PFA registered Jaguar car was twice caught driving faster than the 30mph limit in Lancashire.

'Wrong address'

 

The car, registered to the PFA offices in Manchester, was caught by a speed camera doing 36mph on 25 November 2010, and then caught travelling at 43mph on 11 December 2010, both at Osbaldeston, near Blackburn in Lancashire.

The criminal justice system is not a game, you are here to acquit the innocent and convict the guilty”

 

Bernard Begley Prosecutor

 

But Mr Freeman, the celebrity lawyer known as "Mr Loophole", argued that when the Lancashire Police speed ticket office issued letters asking for the driver's details they made a series of errors.

 

He said the Jaguar car was registered to the PFA at its offices at 20 Oxford Court in Manchester but the Notice of Intended Prosecution letter, and a reminder, were both sent to number 30 - which does not exist.

 

The lawyer, known for getting acquittals for celebrity clients in seemingly water-tight court cases, said further letters were then sent directly to Mr Taylor, naming him as the registered keeper directly.

 

Bernard Begley, prosecuting, said "further enquiries" led the letter to be directed to Mr Taylor but this evidence was deemed to have been submitted too late under legal rules.

 

Mr Begley asked the bench to adjourn the matter to another date for enquiries to be made or witnesses to be brought to court.

'Inconvenience and expense'

 

He said: "The criminal justice system is not a game, you are here to acquit the innocent and convict the guilty."

 

But Mr Freeman said it was the fault of the Crown Prosecution Service and the defence should not "suffer inconvenience and expense" of adjournment to "plug the holes" in the prosecution case.

 

The prosecution application was refused.

 

Mr Freeman also said letters about the second alleged speeding offence were sent incorrectly to the "Players" Footballers Association - not the Professional Footballers' Association.

 

He added: "In each case there has not been a properly addressed letter sent out to Mr Gordon Taylor and you need to be sure that there was before you can convict. He should be acquitted."

 

Mr Freeman, whose office is in the same street in central Manchester as the PFA, asked for, and was granted, undisclosed costs to pay for the defence case out of taxpayer funds.

Anti-racism chief Lord Ouseley demands explanation from PFA over decision to book comedian Reginald D Hunter

Kick It Out chairman Lord Ouseley has demanded an explanation from the Professional Footballers’ Association over its decision to book Reginald D Hunter to perform at its annual awards following the comedian’s controversial routine on Sunday night.

Hunter, a black stand-up comedian from Georgia in the United States, regularly uses the word 'n-----' during his acts, and that was the case during a 30-minute long performance at the Grosvenor Hotel in central London.

 

The word – in addition to jokes about Jews and women – did not go down well with some members of the audience, most of whom were professional footballers.

 

Lord Ouseley did not attend last night’s awards but is vehemently against the use of discriminatory language, even among people of the same race, gender or sexuality.

 

He told Telegraph Sport: “It sounds to me that the PFA needs to answer questions about how they booked this person and why they booked this person.

 

“I’m surprised there wasn’t a mass walkout. It almost begs the question,

 

The anti-racism group came under fire itself last year when several black players refused to wear T-shirts promoting one of its campaigns in the wake of the John Terry and Luis Suarez affairs.

 

Ouseley all but accused Kick It Out’s critics of hypocrisy, adding: “All these people can protest when they don’t want to wear a T-shirt but they’re prepared to listen to a racially-offensive comedian.”

 

PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor last night stood by the decision to book Hunter.

 

Asked whether it had been a mistake, he said: "No, no, don't be silly. Are you serious?

 

"I think there were a few raised eyebrows over the comedian, but that is the sort of thing you can't control. It was unfortunate.

 

"He is a professional comedian.

 

"It's a difficult subject in football and with him not being fully aware of how emotive it has been in football, that was probably a difficulty for him."

 

Football Association chairman David Bernstein and anti-racism campaigner Paul Elliott, who had to step down from his role at the FA in February following reports that he sent a "derogatory" text, were in the room at the time of Hunter's speech.

 

Hunter is a popular comedian who has regularly appeared on stand-up programmes and the BBC's current affairs comedy panel show Have I Got News For You.

Breathtaking in it's arrogance. Yeah, how in the fuck would Reginald, a black person, be fully aware of how emotive racism is? Best leave the handling of that to the suits in the FA.

How would a black man growing up in Georgia in the 70's have a clue about racism?.
