Racist and sexist this time... maybe he'll go for a hat-trick next time. :rolleyes:

I don't think he'll be able to try and forget about it this time, you have to really wonder how stupid he is to make the same mistake twice.

big deal. cant see the problem .
so what if he called chinese women ugly, if he wasnt already in the poo for his alleged other racist comment, (have seen the program and they played the recording of this comment, and IMO its very very difficult to actually hear it), then would anybody really care.....? its cos he is in the public eye that what he said is so bad, but is it. please can we have a poll of the chinese women who find this comment offensive, at being called ugly.

Oh for Christs sake give it a rest! We all say and do things at times that could be misconstrued, and just because Ron is in the public eye does it mean he has no right to say things that are not P.C.

He should get himself a new agent, and re-market himself as the new Chubby Brown, cos 'PC' Atkinson ain't working... :D

Well it is his own fault for making racist comments. You would have thought he would have learnt not to by how.
I'm surprised he did it at hillsbrough as I wouldn't have though he would be too popular there the way he left them.

Which is why he is stupid to say it. I'm not saying he is evil or anything, and there are comedians who say the same things if you wanna see that stuff, but you would really think he should have known better after all the trouble he has had.

In answer to the thread.

Personally I laughed when I heard what Ron had said, and just because half the country think its politically incorrect doesnt stop me laughing.

And I will continue to laugh at such things till the day I die I hope,

So in my opinion the people who get the monk on every time some one makes an unthought out comment need to climb out of there own asses and realise that rome didnt fall in a day.

looks like another waste of time story set to drag on and on. so what if he made a joke about a chinese women, i think most reasonable people would take it for what it was a joke. not exactly inciting riots or anything but in this country with its excessive p c you never no. people dont seem to want to laugh and have a joke anymore, think folk need to chill out.

think it may be the guardian tryna look good for themselves again!!

see the part where they put

Atkinson, 65, also lost his job as a pundit for the Guardian newspaper in the storm which followed his off-air comments after Chelsea lost 3-1 to Monaco in a Champions League semi-final

I've looked at the link given at the start of this thread & I've "Googled" too but it's not helped.

PC or anti PC stuff aside can anyone explain to me why Ron Atkinson thought :

"The Chinese people have the best contraception in the world - but I can't understand why there's so many of them because their women are so ugly."

is funny? I think I'm missing the point somewhere...

Yes, it only makes sense as a (bad) joke if chinese women had a reputation for being ugly... which they aren;'t!

Well, yes. You know that & I know that but do the people who who found it funny know that? Was my point :)

I did not actually think that this comment was funny, more stupid than funny really, as I think there are good lookin women of every race, maybe not the mongals but that may be down to bad coverage of the race than them all being ugly.

To be honest I think that there is some well fit chinese women knocking about.

When I said I laughed at what Big Ron said , I was thinking about the first time he got caught, that made me laugh not only because it was funny but because he got caught.

I dont really think he should have lost his job for saying some one was a lazy *****, when the bloke was obviously not pulling his wieght.
