Alan Davies re: Hillsborough

Forgive me if i am being a little too pc here but.
Isnt this man showing prejudice against a type of person, a scouser, now isnt this very bad in a society that always promotes diversity and equality. So isnt he doing something that is close to racism in all but words.

Maybe we could call it regionalism, but it is what he has done, particularly showing his colours during room 101 there.

He is whats technically known as A CUNTY LITTLE CURLY haired wanna be scouser.
jelousy is a terrible thing.

Isn't that a bit curlylittlecuntist? 

As regards Davies, all he's done is make himself look like a complete and utter tw*t. He's dragged the trolls up who are backing him and the rest of normal society think he's a c**t. His bridge is burned.

Curly haired little c**t.

Robbie Savage put it well in his column with the Daily Mirror. He merely pointed to Davies that Hillsborough was not a topic for football banter. The fact you can bring such a sensitive topic up in a roly poly football discussion was incredibly insensitive. Strange coming from a man who presented himself as some sort of anti Thatcherite/anti establishment during his youth in the 80s in a Channel 4 documentary a while back. Of course we all now know that was just an attention seeking image of coolness from Mr Davies (as it is with the majority of these youthful "left wing" toss pots who lead lives that is everything but that) as his words over Hillsborough probably echoes the words of the above authorities who we all know harbour similar opinions. As if we believe he believes in an inquiry - F**k off.

Wtf it has to do with an Arsenal fan I don't know but tbh I could see why a Chelsea fan would be a tad peeved at how it may influence their season...

Actually a lot of Arsenal fans have shown a great deal of respect towards hillsborough over the years, including probably one of Davies heroes in Henry and really who F***ing cares about chelsea and their F***ing season!

Insensitive tw*t! Was watching Off The Ball on ESPN last night and the lad that presents the podcast with him (don't know his name, care less) was actually trying to defend him, says he got the tone wrong... the TONE!!! Ffs kids with excuses, grow the F**k up and educate yourselves you immature, smug tw*ts!

Ah. Nice one c**t. Starting a debate that should never be.
Stick your money, it'll not change the fact you've snowballed a discussion around something where the club, fans and families just want to pay respects.
C.U.N.T.

What a half-witted F**k-knuckle.

Tosser... Keep your money you pr**k.

Now i think we all should stop giving him the free press he wants for his up coming tour.

From watching QI it was always obvious he was the stupid one.

Not sure what to make of this Tony Evans piece:

LIVERPOOL’S INTERNET TERRORISTS PICKED THE WRONG TARGET

                               Alan Davies got it wrong on Twitter but in the real world there are far more serious issues for fans

TOMORROW John Glover will try to go to Anfield for the annual memorial service on the anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster. If he can get there, it will be his last.
 
John is in the terminal stages of cancer. Ian, his son, died at the age of 20 on the Leppings Lane terraces before the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest in 1989. The Glover family is still waiting to learn the exact circumstances of the last, nightmarish hour of Ian’s life. Another 95 families are in a similar position. Yet this week, the discourse about Hillsborough has been dominated by a comedian on Twitter.
 


Alan Davies, the star of Jonathan Creek, made some misjudged remarks on a podcast. First, he rightly criticised the timing of this weekend’s FA Cup semi-finals. Chelsea, who play Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow at Wembley, kick off at 6pm, a ridiculous piece of scheduling given that the West London club face Barcelona in the Champions League on Wednesday. Davies suggested the cause was that Liverpool refused to play on April 15 and questioned why this was allowed to happen. But he missed the point.
 
The timing is less about Liverpool’s reluctance to play on the anniversary than the Football Association’s desire to maximise revenues from Wembley. A sensible solution would have been to play the Liverpool-Everton match at Old Trafford today at 12.30pm and Chelsea’s tie in London at 5.30pm.
 
What happened next is disturbing. A substantial number of Liverpool fans bombarded Davies with abuse and threats on Twitter. Even an apology did not halt the avalanche of invective. A backlash began and, as Davies withdrew from the argument, there were plenty of voices ready to give another airing to the clichés about “whingeing Scousers” A storm on Twitter is a dust devil rather than a typhoon: it blows up quickly and dissipates, leaving little damage. However, the abuse of Davies cannot be ignored. He may have been wrong, but he has a right to hold an opinion without receiving threats. Confronted with rational counter-arguments, he might have changed his mind.
 
Liverpool’s support is huge and committed. Its online fanbase helped to oust former owners of the club two years ago. Tom Hicks, one of those owners, spoke of “internet terrorists”.
 
Some clearly feel the need to live up to the billing, but they do their cause a disservice with misguided salvoes, dripping in bile. The energy spent on berating the likes of Davies should instead be focused on flooding the inboxes of politicians with a simple question: why, 23 years on, do we still not know the truth about a police cover-up that reached Cabinet level?
 
The Hillsborough Independent Panel (HIP), chaired by the Right Reverend James Jones, the Bishop of Liverpool, is managing the release of documents relating to the disaster. It has put off declaring its findings until the autumn. That will be too late for Mr Glover. The real issue for fans this week should have been why the Glover family has been denied access to information about Ian.
 
HIP says it is vital that all material is realised in context. Yet a number of leaks have proved that it is impossible to manage the flow of information.
 
Mr Glover has placed a formal request to see the Cabinet minutes relating to Hillsborough. There is no legal reason to prevent this, yet he has been refused. A man who has fought for justice since 1989 will die without seeing the information he craved. Such a decision undermines the moral force of the panel. And it is wrong.
 
Most of those who abused Alan Davies on Twitter will not even be aware of the Glovers’ plight. They should start to redirect their anger.

He caused that today... I'm convinced of it.

There was a banner at Wembley on Saturday saying "Alan Davies...Quite Ignorant".

Haha, I never noticed that!

So he says all that and then decides he can make it all go away with cash. Classy. Brilliant example that the HJC have set, not just by declining it, but by explaining why they have done so.

And in that video that Dunlop posted on the 1st page, he just comes across as a F***ing brat who hates Liverpool for some reason.

Do people in Liverpool go round saying they're all funny enough to be a stand up comic? No. I believe what many scousers say is that they all have a sense of humour, which is always something I've found.

Utter bellend, hope this drags his career down.

I agree with Evans, especially with the remaining quote.

If all the divvies threatening violence would have hit Davies with reasoned arguments, of which there are plenty, then Davies would have ended up more educated as a result. Now he, and the resulting dickheads who agree with his sentiments coming out of the woodwork, will carry on just because they know it pisses us off.

dumb racist tosser, chuck him in the bin

We had to face Chelsea (And beat them) with two days rest.....they'll live.......and then get destroyed by Barca anyway. They really think a day is going to make a difference to the stomping they will get?

Laughable isn't it when a pro footballer can't do 180 minutes over a 4 day period but Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic battle out an almost 5 hour game of tennis giving their all throughout.

His point is a load of nonsense.

The fact is, the day is a day to remember the people who past on. It has no use as anything else to people who want to remember, thats its use as a day, a day of RESPECT, something he seems to have forgotten.

I know on the days my love ones have passed on I like some alone time and to be on myself to remember the times that were had and thats how it should be. If my employer phoned me up and said 'get in today, I don't care about that, you need to work', i'd tell him/her where to stick the job, right up their backside. These types of things are bigger than football and football should be put aside for these types of things, not the other way around.

Is Davies implying Chelsea's players fitness is more important than remembering those that were lost? I think he is. What a complete idiot.

Where's this pr**k in all of this? F***ing posh boy c**t.

This guy epitomises the southern posh pr**k - he claims he was part of the 'leftist' rise of alternative comedy against Thatcher. Well, he's no better than the establishment he claims he was against - F***ing champagne socialist, can't stand him. He was part of the stream of champagne socialist sh*te that came out of the 80s, no funnier than Ben Elton. Complete and utter toss pot.

Alan also tells us that he welcomes the report into the Hillsborough disaster and greatly regrets comments made about Liverpool not playing on the anniversary of the disaster.

Alan's show, 'Life is Pain', is on tour now.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00yr9t4

Tickets not selling well in Liverpool!

Cant believe he hasnt cancelled the show and cant believe anyone from Liverpool would turn up.

I can believe the weasel hasn't had the balls to apologise and admit he's a cu*t

I was wondering when this "comedian" would Apologise and Welcome the Report's findings.

A lot of Humble Pie being eaten at present.

Sorry but he too can F**k Off.

Not watched QI since his crass comments.

Remember watching his documentary last year about how he was from a radical stream of anti establishment/socialist comedians from the 80s. Yet the massive cock was happy to pander to establishment lies and derogatory themes about the city of Liverpool and Liverpool FC. The laughable thing though is that on the day of the report findings he was tweeting about it with a carefree attitude as if he had said nothing of the sort. What a massive cock.

Thankfully I've never found him funny. First I just saw him as some guy who who doesn't know when to end a joke that has been long dead along with his fellow "comedian" Phil Jupitus (yeah the piss never dries at the BBC). He was unfunny. Now he's an unfunny MASSIVE cock.
