If that's true, and Hunter agreed to it, then it was a bit silly of him to persevere along that road.

But as Joey said, they could easily have stopped him at any moment.

And it didn't appear that Taylor had a problem with it last night at the event so....

....so it's a 'free country', as Taylor would say. As long as you're from his country ?

Exactly. Guffawing along they were too. I reckon they've made that up about making clear to avoid racial references. As if. Are they completely clueless? It's like booking The Rolling Stones and asking for no black-influenced music.

This is getting beyond a joke now isn't it. Is pretty obvious that there are some ****ing cretins running the upper levels of the game. It's such a shame everything is being slowly ruined by a group of 60 something year olds with no interest other than cash.

Utter disgrace that they are hanging Hunter out to dry because they don't understand racism. I bet (and hope) that he gets a good half hour's material out of this one - a black guy from Georgia being accused of racism (however carefully they word it) by a bunch of middle-aged white English establishment men. It'd be ****ing hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

I do wonder if it was their own Suarez ruling that trapped them though. Their ludicrous assertion in banning him that all language that refers to race in any way shape or form is offensive, regardless of who is delivering the word and for what purpose...

Where the **** is that Piara Power in all this ?
Normally only takes him 5mins to get on the bandwagon.

just like jo brand banging on about eating cakes

Jo Brand is a one-trick pony too then

She's not small enough to be a pony. A one trick hippo.

Sorry, just... expanding on her one trickedness.

[Vermilion]

It's bollocks, they ****ed up, no use coming up with excuses now, no excuse is acceptable considering all they've been involved in the past couple of seasons. Someone at the pfa has to pay [cough]Gordon Taylor[cough] so that justice is seen to be done, they need to fall into line and know that this type of thing is just plain wrong and ohhhhh so hypocritical!

Maybe even get them proffessional help too.... in the form of some comedian management courses?!

I think a 10year ban from the Pfa would suffice.

[fah-q]

Why hasn't the Prime Minister got involved yet?

[RichC]

Gordon Taylor won't stand down or take responsibility for what went on last night, he's our very own Sepp Blatter.

[ChesterDave]

PFA statement. They're blaming Hunter, which is nice.

So they booked a comedian and told them the nature of the content they wanted but did not thoroughly reseach the comedian to see what he performs.

And that is the fault of the comedian?

[Aj34]

The irony of this whole situation is hilarious

[Assassin]

It be great if Hunter came out and said there was no "team talk" with regard to the content and language

[Assassin]

An independent panel would take this to pieces as there is no evidence

Feel free to continue missing the point.

You may not find him funny, but you've completely misunderstood the point of his act. I presume you've never seen him do stand up?
