Well you are entitled not to be offended by it.

Then again, I am.

Donna is a woman on a mission! Be afraid Alan, be very afraid I bet he's sweating if he has seen this thread.

I received the same reply so i have forwarded that along with my original email to Ofcom complaints department. By the way Allan Beswick lives in Atherleigh and can often be found in Leigh town .

True.

Why do yo feel the need to keep repeating this? If it doesn't bother you, then there is little need for you to comment on it. For many, myself included, the comments were in bad taste and I expect better from the BBC. I don't take kindly to being told by yourself that I should feel the same way as you, otherwise I'm 'blowing it WELL (note the capitals) out of proportion' (sic) To put it simply, the posters who have taken the trouble to write to the BBC complaints department obviously feel their actions were proportionate or, presumably, they wouldn't have written.

Thank you for your input. We got it the first time you wrote it.

Got exactly the same reply. It's what I expected them to say really - I never expected the necessary action to be taken.

It's the second comment i've made on the matter.

Wonder what would happen if Alan Hansen made such a comment against a United player live on MOTD....??

He would be booted off our screens quicker than you could say "Johnathan Ross".

The first comment was my opinion that I didn't think there was too much in his comment.

The second was my opinion that people have made it bigger than it is and are now talking about phoning him on air and taking it further even though the beeb have replied.

Yea but Conroy the Beeb's response was unacceptable, a standard e-mail.

You think it's OK for him to take the out of what was at the time a potential career threatening injury??

He's a at the best of times.

That's my point - I don't think he was. When you watch a game that includes the team we play the week after or that is above us, you might use the comment [i'a few injuries and suspensions will do'[/i but you don't actually wish a player to get hurt. I just think this was similar.

I don't listen to him so have no idea what he's usually like - maybe he is a grade A .

In which case, presumably, they are neither satisfied with the BBC's response or stance on the incident. I still don't see at what point our opinions need to fall into line with yours and why you feel the need to tell us they don't, not once, but twice?

I never said they had to did I? I just stated that my opinion is that it has been blown out of proportion. My opinion on 9/11 is that it they knew about it. Doesn't make either of them right. They're just my opinion.
