Ozblue 4,331 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Obviously somebody at ESPN was offended by it, OR somebody contacted ESPN and complained about it, instead of getting to a ground to watch their own team play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a few occasions I've heard the broadcaster apologise for language but I've never seen the comment on them especially not say they have called the police.

WCPRANGERS1 2,997 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 the words that upset them .........catholic churchmy thoughts exactly.

WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 I actually blame ESPN for all this shite today. If it wasnt for them mentioning on air "sorry for sectarian singing, were going to pass this onto Police"Then nothing would have been said.Just bitter Burley and co trying to bring the majority of fans down.
