PS. A mate of mine met Cyril Regis a few weeks ago - he's still mates with Big Ron.

Not many on here will like that.

Most people on here have a lot of time for both Cyrille and BFR.

Richard Keys was good doing those tile adverts today.

"Get down to Wickes for 33 per cent off ceramic wall tile, only £14.56."

I didn't think Big Ron was racist then and I still don't now.

He did a lot for black players in the game, He wouldn't have if that was how he felt. I know he hasn't really worked since but I think he'll be fine

BFR was never maliciously racist. Just an old sod, out of his time, who doesn't appreciate how offensive his comments were. Like a lot of peoples Granddads I would guess.

Tim - are you taking the piss in your odd back slapping well done lads comments of 2 grossly over paid men that are over grown oafs with little personality and much publicised misguided views? Well played lads? Seriously - they are on over 200k each to chat about sport on the radio. Even Darren Gough manages it. Amazing.

As for your comment re Ron and not many liking it - again - what? Most on here I would think are still very fond of Ron and his days at Villa.

Twunt. Thinks he is funny because he has a Bolton accent and is an Essex man. Makes him cool you know. Knows nothing about anything outside the top 4.

Good, that's that sorted then.

PS. What's 'odd' about saying what I feel - I am not joining the 'I hate Gray and Keys brigade - SORRY Ozzjim.

There's nothing odd with saying what you think, its just that what you think is a load of cobblers.

   How is Danny Baker by the way?

  Great story on H&J a few years ago, about how you avoid any contact with anything associated with your biggest rivals.

  Like the Spuds fan who refused to take the 1st prize in a raffle because it was a JVC recorder, but the winner was the Villa fan, who broke down on the motorway, with his family in the car, and refused to have his window replaced by a driver from AutoWindowScreen as at the time they sponsored Blooose, so he waited there another 2 hours to be seen by another company.

  That Dundee Utd bow tie story is fantastic by the way.

Funny that. there's a thread in off-topic started by lee about Autowindscreens which I refuse to read because of its link to that lot. Any company linked to that lot will never see a penny of my money, nor will i respect its position in anything it does.

But surely by refusing to shower you run the risk that people might think you're a Bluenose?

Tthe quandary was mulled over but as they live in the Little Aston end of Four Oaks I thought that highly unlikely.
