Spot on I reckon.

Come off it Ron, if you had not been heard over the so called 'secret microphone' would you have ever have offered your resignation or admitted to such a thing? - me. thinks. not.

Well, it's not like leaving ITV could be so-much of a bad thing for a well-known (golden) face like Ron Atkinson's. ;)

He may not be the Andy Gray many still seem to make him out to be, but he still does know what he's talking about, half-the-time. Without him, The Premiership is left with the "expert" cliché-ridden scaled-down babblings of Bender Boys Robbie Earle and Andy Townsend (now to be joined, permanently, by the slurings of All McMoist)...

I guess this Saturday night program [I]CAN[/B] get even worse, after all!! :O


As much as we'd all like to know what he said, exactly, I doubt we'll get to hear it while people like Desailly and Big Ron are still around. If it was to come-out over in these regions, what good would it do to either of these two, in the media-plagued country we live in?

I can't get the link to work but it was on the late news. Believe me it was very bad. So bad that I'm not posting it.

He had no option but to resign.

I liked him. But now I think. Is he saying sorry for what he said, or sorry that it has been publicised?

Excellent, no more "Ooh lets butt sex Paul Scholes" statements. Lets hope the replacement actually talks some sense.

i did forget to mention that i think he's the biggest oaf of a commentator, who actually takes 10 attempts at a name and says the most obvious of inane comments.

Oh well, I've always thought of Ron as a fool and he's just proved me right. They are better off without him.
