    This Gascoigne business gets worse. Sounds like the security guard about whom the

    joke was made didn't make a complaint and wasn't a witness. Sounds like a third party complained and the police and CPS ran with it, while Gascoigne's lawyer told him to plead guilty rather than fight it.

    Where have you been, Burnley? No harm has to have been done for a racism to be deemed to have taken place. All that needs to happen is for someone to complain that somebody, somewhere might have been offended.

    I don't know if I've ever mentioned this, but the day you and everyone else reacted like fúcking princesses who'd been interefered with because BFR made a slip of the microphone, I told you we'd end up here. I got shouted down by your whole generation of virtue-signalling snowflakes.

    You're 10 years late to this party.

    Alright, Cassandra, less of the told-you-so, thanks.

    Besides, I think it's a bit of a leap from saying that it is probably right that a presenter on a national broadcaster who is caught referring to a widely-respected footballer as 'a fùcking thick lazy nígger' be sacked to saying that someone who makes a joke that is very mildly racial in nature ought to be prosecuted. All a bit post hoc ergo propter hoc, wouldn't you say?

    He never said dem fings.

    He suggested that the player in question might be referred to in some quarters as {terrible words redacted}. He wasn't calling him that himself. And he did more for black footballers than the society of black lawyers will ever do. Fact. Well, opinion, at least.

    You have to feel for BFR after losing his job and then his son Dalian.
