GaryMc 1,938 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 So basically I read that as he regrets saying it in a live broadcast but is not sorry and would again make similar comments off air.Cunts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MosesMcNeil 1,664 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 bunch of sensetive wee souls..... The world must be a hard place for you guys to live in with all these people making such nasty comments.....Uh huh.I'll bet few were offended - I'l further bet that the annoyance factor is Gordon having previously been a sanctimonious arse regarding songs and chants from our support. Aye, the voice on the radio and tv who is another faux sensitive soul.The BBC - flying their double standards high - that's what get's up people's noses.
