Alan Green

[tonyhorne]

I won't miss his, er, contribution to what passes for football journalism these days...

 

[Chewbacca]

Was he? Mostly known for Radio though.

Certainly has a face for radio

Found this online about him. Believable even if not true:

Alan Green: Definitely Not A Liverpool Fan
Tuesday night's commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live from the, as ever, impartial Alan Green when Liverpool were awarded the most dubious of penalties...

Alan Green: "Stone-wall penalty."

Mark Lawrenson: "That's a very harsh penalty. Actually, it's the wrong decision. The ball clearly hits Heinze on the shoulder."

AG: "Who cares?!"

ML: "Well everyone should, it's a bad, bad decision and we don't want to see them. Especially in games like these."

AG: "Well, of course not, but from a Liverpool point of view it doesn't matter."

ML: "Not for me, it's a poor decision and it could easily go against you."

AG: "Still it's a great chance for Liverpool to put the tie to bed now."

Unfortunately, radio does not record whether Green then stood up, raised his scarf in the air and started mouthing the words to 'You'll Never Walk Alone'.

He dropped a slab on someone a bit lower down the stand

The Irish one. Used to do all the big games with Mike Ingham.

Typical brits , Alan Green is Irish but McIllroy is British hahah

 

[Yarrgh]

Typical brits , Alan Green is Irish but McIllroy is British hahah

But over the Irish Sea, do they refer to McIlroy as Irish and Green as British?

It was tongue in cheek but good point.The term Northern Irishman would be used Most often probably , Irishman yes but would depend on Some things like the context , the latter would not be used.

Let's all just agree that Alan Green is cockwomble!

universally agreed

 

[arch stanton]

I'm sure Alan Green himself would agree that, if he doesn't, that itself is evidence that he is a cockwomble

 

[BlueAmigo]

If only I was reading this ***** name in the dead thread.

 

[degsy]

Boo 'kin hoo

 

[Yarrgh]

Almost 30 years of service without seeing a rs title. What an asterisk of a career. Truly a grade A cu...

 

[stony]

Great news, will no longer have to suffer his sneering contempt for anything that isn't Liverpool. He must be a pretty loathsome turd, considering even his own peers have little time for him.

 

[Alan Whittle]

Probably end up with the rest of them at SKY or BT.

Nah. He is Talkshyte standard at best.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Has he actually gone? Good riddance. If nothing else. the lockdown has produced something positive.

I say again - no commentator should allow his own personality to override the thing which he describes.

 

[Rogue Trader]

What a absolute prick he is, he is from the part of Belfast that would certainly class themselves as British, can't stand him.
