Just heard Jim White say Nathan Ashmore is coming on for an hour to talk about the racist abuse he's suffered in the National League! Didn't catch the time, probably 11-12.

Sorry, just seen Metalliad beat me to it.

I wish I knew exactly what Ashmore tweeted and then withdrew- I would happily tweet it to Jim White before his next bumkissathon interview, though I'm sure he'd ignore it.

Better get plenty of handkerchiefs ready then.

Jim White is a bellend

Thanks for that. Jim White's pomposity drives me round the bend, do I'm not sure I can take him and Ashmore together.

Cant stand White and its mainly because of the fake excitement he tries to create on deadline day building it up and talking to folk about transfers who are completely irrelevant. Its just typical of a lot of the Sky Sports News\Soccer Saturday stuff that is just plain annoying to be honest. I dont listen to Talksport but it seems to be get controversial topics on air or say something controversial to goad a reaction out of folk to ring in and keep their show from being just him talking! Adrian Durham is just the same.

Those shows, yes, and Alan Brazil is utter garbage too, but Hawksbee and Jacobs in the afternoon are great. Even better on podcast without the ads.

Not a fan of their cricket coverage either having listened to a couple of the recent tours they've done. Not a patch on Test Match Special....think the main issue with the last one in Sri Lanka was the fact it was mainly done by Mark Nicholas who is an utter cock!!

Everything they do comes across as tabloidy compared to something like TMS. That said some of the football coverage on BBC Radio\TV can be as bad when they keep using folk like Garth Crooks or Chris Sutton!!

Talksport is owned by News Corp, who own The Sun, and yes, it often seems to take a similarly tacky approach.

I once signed a petition for Garth Crooks to be launched into space to make first contact with alien civilisation, named "I'm Garth Crooks. Take me to your leader".

That makes it very interesting that i believe Neil Custis who is a footy journalist for the Sun slated Jim White the other day i believe...think i saw Westbars Spireite tweet something about it!!

Not sure thats fair on the alien civilisation....for me he can just be fired off into space and left it at that!!

Listening now. Says he doesn't mind being called fat. Saying he was attacked at the end of the game Saturday. Admitting to time wasting Saturday but says he wasn't cheating.
Now talking about Jason Lee. Saying that the pineapple song was racist. Really ?
Just text them. Hopefully they'll ring back and we'll have a nice chat !

to be fair anyone who has seen the footage would agree with him, the fan who confronted him needs banning for life - it does look on the video as if he goes for the keeper

I wouldn't have called the pineapple song racist, I'd like to hear his rationale on that one

[peakblue]

We could really do without this kind of negative stuff at the club right now.

[cfc_scott]

Listening now, he’s failing to mention he was winding up supporters, anyone going to bother ringing in?

Just feeding back on what he's said Cart.

I'm not sure I agree that winding up supporters is such a heinous crime

football fans in general think it's perfectly ok to sing whatever they want at players and should the player gesture back then they are vilified - if you give it out you should be able to take it, and a player shouting or gesturing to the crowd shouldn't be used as a defense for running on the pitch and trying to fight him!

We can all agree Ashmore is a bell end, but we shouldn't be trying to make excuses for some of the idiots in our fan base, the club should deal with them which will at least tell the FA that we take it seriously

More fashionista than facist - rather undermines a serious subject

didn't he explain or justify his comment, he can't say a song that doesn't mention colour or ethnicity is racist without saying why

You could sing the pineapple song to white players with similar hair cuts
