don't be ridiculous. you're basically saying you can't say the word 'monkey' under any circumstances when addressing someone with a dark skin tone. |
If I'm being ridiculous, why all the fuss, as far as I'm concerned Hodgson can say what he wants, but he has to face the consequences !! [Post edited 17 Oct 2013 16:16]

Townsend has said there are no problems and he understands the context. I don't see why the whole world has to come out and make an issue of it 'in his name'.
Seems too many people go looking for trouble to find. |  | | |

Surely the real racists are the people, who on hearing the word monkey immediately associate it with a black person.
Hodgson clearly didn't, whereas The Sun and Black Lawyers association??. Maybe its time for a crime of 'stirring racial hatred where there is none'. |  | | |

In fairness, if Hodgson did just say "feed the monkey" out of context and only explained himself later when challenged then I think it's disingenuous for anyone to claim it wouldn't have been a bizarre eyebrow-raiser at the time.
Even still, it's an old man's naive gaffe and hardly evidence of deep-rooted bigotry.
Anyone considered it might have been Fat Frank leaking it for Uncle Arry by the way? |  | | |

The only racists here are the idiots linking a black/mixed race man and the word monkey.
And that includes the obviously racist and obnoxious Lord Ousley  |  |

Lord Ouseley & the society of black lawyers etc etc are the biggest racists out there. The SoBL are too stupid to see that the name of their organisation is in itself racist.
I was at a union meeting last night and they wanted people to put themselves forward for the Black & Ethnic minority conference. That's racist, but nothing is said.
These so called do-gooders see racism as a one way street when it clearly isn't. |  | | |

i had to check myself a while back as a friends little boy was messing about and i was just about to call him a cheeky monkey ( i didnt ) simply because i feared what others might have made out of it
and that made me angry/sad as i would always call kids cheeky monkeys just as my dad use to call me!
my mum almost got done back in the 70's for saying the n word when describing the colour black just like saying scarlett red or olive green she said n... black but her friend rosemarie who was black understood, she didnt mean it as racist it was just the way children of the 30's-40's were schooled and taught to describe colours back then |  |

Bang on mate, we don't know what was said but if I heard someone saying 'just feed the monkey' *edit:to someone of colour*, and that was all they said without the rest of the (not very funny) joke, then I too would be aghast.
That said I think it's crazy to take this any further than the changing room, which is where ths sorry tale should have stayed.
And for the record its ridiculous to think that RH is some kind of racist and if that has been implied I hope he can successfully sue whoever is doing it. [Post edited 17 Oct 2013 20:57]

Roy has the right idea when he talks with his hand over his mouth to his men on the line with him, too many looking for trouble |  |

When I was a girl, a very, very long time ago, the n word associated with colour was to describe brown not black. |  | | |

Sportsmen (and women) do that all over the planet now.
Check Jose Mouriniho (Sp?) he always covers his mouth to talk.
I think they are taught in media training to cover their mouths! |  |

can't see it being Lampard, Redknapp has no hope of ever getting the England job after what he said in his book. it's probably someones agent |  | | |

"I admit that some of the younger players may not have understood the reference to the monkey in space. They may not have heard the expression before but that’s a generational thing. I meant “give the ball to the player who can make things happen”. There was no other connotation, and no offence was taken by any of the players."
Hodgson mentioning 'reference' and 'expression' in this quote suggests he did indeed say it out of context (ie didn't tell the whole joke) to begin with. | | | |

The rumour is that Defoe is the mole.
Frankly, the whole thing is ridiculous, and is just news creation. |  | | |
