BBC football pundit suspended for referring to players' scuffle as 'handbags'
|
|
Steve “Tommo” Thompson has been suspended by the BBC from his punditry duties after referring to a scuffle between two players as “handbags”.
The 65-year-old, who works as a freelancer, has been laid off for the rest of the year after complaints from listeners about the outdated phrase.
Thompson made the comment on BBC Radio Lincolnshire during Lincoln City’s 1-0 win at Swindon Town on Tuesday in the Sky Bet League One.
Explaining their decision, the BBC said the phrase "handbags" was not in line with their standards

A good reason to cut the BBC's purse strings.

Is the hysteria affecting your eyes so you can’t read? No wonder you struggle with getting anything right.
He was suspended to the end of the year, and he is a freelancer.
How much do you think BBC Radio Lincolnshire pays freelancers for a couple of hours work?
He probably does it as he likes being part of the match day and because he gets to be on the radio.
The Twitter lynch mobs are stupid but a lot of you seem to be down there with them.

CapiTOOL is clearly one of the few expats not missed over here, it’s a downside of the Internet that he picked West Ham to support so he can be disliked by us on a supporters forum as well.
The upside is he has to be up at silly’o’clock to do his cunty act on here.

I know him and know what the full story is which is more than what’s been said in the papers
Let’s just say he probably should have been a bit more careful with his words

The BBC are actually responsible fot the "handbags" term for it was they who first broadcast "The Batley Townswomen's Guild re-enactment of the Battle of Pearl Harbor".

Being neither a lesbian, or, ahem, old, I can’t speak for myself of course, but I have to say that I am offended and outraged on behalf of the people who are not as privileged as me.
