Thread: Crooks gets the boot.

  1. #1

    Cool Crooks gets the boot.

    Garth Crooks' iconic BBC Team of the Week column is AXED, as his replacement says the 66-year-old 'picked players in incorrect positions'

    Yes please remind us BT, as you do not have a racist bone in your body.

    Well apart from your self-confessed francophobia.

    But some of the French are coloured and Muslim. Some are immigrants -legal and illegal. How do you square that with taking off your racist glasses when you retired?

    Going back to my latte now.

    I am sure BT like many of us here will not be shedding a tear about the departure of Garth Crooks column from the BBC. Garth made a number of imo unwarranted and rather disparaging comments about Burnley and other “small” clubs. I hope Troy Deeney proves a better replacement but we will have time to assess that before we hopefully reappear in the EPL.

    Garth is by some distance the worst pundit I've ever come across, worse even than Lawrenson, he's been stealing a wage for over 20 years, although I have no doubt, out of a TV studio, he's a perfectly pleasant chap.
