Shearer's "Nancy" Comment on MOTD2

Squelchy

Let that be the end of his media career.

It would be nice if you gave the context in which he made whatever comment he did......

G.K.

Switched off after Villa vs QPR, what happened?

People actually watch MOTD with the sound not muted when the 'experts' are talking??

He basically called Robbie Savage a nancy as he is taking part in Strictly.

Sad that you managed to get offended by it, they were all having a laugh.

Worst. Thread. Ever.

I never said I was offended. I just thought it was pretty crass, given the rampant homophobia in the game.

Sacking would be barely adequate. I propose a public flogging.

If there is a man who's skin is thick enough to cope with being called a nancy its Robbie Savage.

you know for a moment I read this as

"If there is a man who's thick enough to cope with being called a nancy its Robbie Savage.

Understandable error!

Just woke up now after unsurprisingly falling asleep during Shearer's analysis. I managed to hear him tell us the grass was green and that the ball was round, did he provide any other fantastic insight?

MoTD is like three schoolboys debating over a fart.

IvySlayer

How could anyone get offended at that?

Dont be at yourself

He's had a holocaust to be fair to him.

Yep and his neck looks like it's about 200 years old.

The OP is a Nancy and I say that given the rampant homophobia on this forum.

Political Correctness is ghey.



So effing what if he had a larf at Savage?? I really doubt Robbie gives a flying sh1te. He'll probably give Shearer a wedgie in revenge.

• Alan Shearer (jokingly) uses the word nancy.
• Rampant homophobia in the game.

Please explain how these two points are in any way related????

The OP clearly thinks that the gays are a bunch of nancy boys.

Seriously who gives a sh1t, its getting to the stage where commentators\panelists will have to have a lawyer or max clifford beside them and every comment will go through them first.

Sick to death of the sanitized, mundane, day to day bollox of political correctness. 'Locker room' joke accidentally aired at 11pm at night on BBC shocker. Jesus wept. :mad:

abouttobebanned

Lot of unsuccessful attempts for thanks here.

v3ttel

Seriously, if you are offended by a bit of light hearted banter like that, you need to get out more.

He got all sorts of vicious verbal abuse at every away ground, but that's fine, is it? But as soon as someone makes a slight comment in jest on tv, stop the f*cking press.

Get real.

newballsplease

Id say he used the term Nancy because Robbie Savage looks like a woman! dont think it was meant in a homophobic way!

cournioni

I would personally take more offence to his analysis of games and his punditry than that comment.

wow made it to 3 pages .:eek:

Almost as bad as the overuse of the phrase "Jesus wept" on boards......:P

Brilliant.
How did he think he would get away with that :P
Banter over a pint, you can't publically air it,
Regardless of your thoughts on the issue!
Free speech my derriere!

He might have lost his Sky Sports contract,
But he gained my respect,
And isn't that the greatest gift of all. :cool:
