John Motson apologises for calling Millwall’s Tom Elliott ‘big, black and brave’

[Sir C]

Which of the these three things is Tom Elliott not, then?

You know as well as I do (and everyone else on here) what the issue is, he wouldn't say Big, brave and white would he...... wouldn't have caslled Neveille Southall, big and brave and white and a scruffy **** would he

So you're saying he's not black? I must say, I don't know the gentleman personally, but from the pictures I have seen of him he looks black. And they say the camera doesn't lie.

Works better for alliteration purposes, as well

No I'm obviously not saying that you geriatric old goat (again, all factually correct)

Geriatric I may be, old most certainly, but I'm not actually a goat.

So you have been a liar all these years....pff, I'm shocked that we trusted you all this time

Oh, I'm sure many regard you as one of the Greatest Of All Time.

Rich does, I think. He wants to be you.

But you do say "great white hope".

I do hate all these identity politics fückwits. All my black mates say black but the semi-literate student brigade jumped on some posh English actor, who was actually trying to help, for saying "coloured" when they wanted "persons of colour" despite the fact that the biggest black rights org in the west is the NAACP where C stands for coloured.

It's all about finding something to take offence over, and it achieves nothing.

If they just took a fraction of the time they spend posting about being offended (and yes I know I'm being hypocritical) and did one hour's work at min wage, the tenner they could send to MSF or, I dunno, how 'bout a charity working with the Delhi street kids, would actually make the world a better place, and would be worthwhile them bragging about online.

Where does all that leave the expression...'young, gifted and black'..something that I often refer to myself as, being none of them?
