John Barnes on talkport now.

[Sylvain]

Fantastic.

Anybody hearing it?

 

[ijjysmith]

Nope. What's he saying mate?

Nope. What's he saying mate?

On the line to talk about Saurez-Evra debacle. But comes on with his own agenda and starts talking about the genetics of race and stuff like that.

Accuses the presenters of being hypicrticial for not discussing the issue 20 years ago.

He's very passionate about it but is talking so fast that I can only get every third word but you can tell he's very informed.

The idiots presenting don't have a clue about the wider debates about race, only a few incidents in modern football.

 

[Clint Planet]

I can't believe the presenter was so bowled over by Barnes' commons sense - like he'd never thought of it that way before.

He was on sky this morning, come over as a bit of a dick head to be honest.

 

[davek]

He should be talking about the time Kenny used a black counter to represent him in the club teamtalks.

Disagree, I've met him loads of times, he used to eat in the restaurant that was was opposite to where I used to live in Myrtle St, L7. Was always sound.

Have you ever watched The Anfield cRap video?

"John Barnes has just had his David Icke moment" - One talksport listener.

Idiots.

What Barnes was saying are things that a widely discussed outside of football circles.

 

[ScouseBlueBoy]

So why is he on TALKSPORT? Nail Uncle Tom down to what his paymasters are doing!

John barnes is an idiot.
Talksport interviewed him days after the suarez incident started, the interviewer referred to the everton banana incident, and he said it is a low point in his career, when he knows FULL WELL he got that from the RS fans aswell, but of course he failed to mention that part

He did mention it in a price in the Torygraph around the same time IIRC.

 

[davek]

Barnesy - he's profitted from the Suarez scandal. He's used it to reposition himself from a failed joke manager and tv presenter to an "authority" in race relations.

Now THAT is pure Uncle Tom.
