Scousers....I hope disgust at being disrespectful to the deceased isn't an exclusively scouse trait.
of course it isn't.

You think educating him would make a blind bit of difference to his bile filled beliefs? Never in a million years mate. A grovelling apology is the best we can do from c*nts like him to hopefully dissuade other hateful bigots to at least keep their views to themselves.

Seriously, fucking behave yourself. I wouldn't want that twat anywhere near our campaign. You think educating him would make a blind bit of difference to his bile filled beliefs? Never in a million years mate. A grovelling apology is the best we can do from c*nts like him to hopefully dissuade other hateful bigots to at least keep their views to themselves.

i totally agree (with you and Fat Scouser too) that he should never be a 'face of the campaign' or anything like that, but at least if we talk to him about it, he might help other people down here understand.

at least give people the chance to make amends, otherwise we are treating them like they treat us - making superficial, (sometimes) baseless assumptions about them.

If another club wanted to mark a certain date for the same reasons, would any of us even dream of complaining about it? Surely none of us. That's the error he makes in drawing such a comparison. It just highlights what a strangely intolerant little twit he is.

get him involved in the campaign, use him to help educate other people.

people is london don't get the anger and pain still felt by our fans, so use Davies and other people in the media to spread the word.

re uwinsa, probably calling them c*nts will dissuade them from being educated... :)
In all honesty I'm aghast at how people let alone football fans should need educating on Hillsborough. Really, I am. This was a national disaster, one which involved the most famous and successful club in Europe. People don't need educating, people should be fully aware of what it did to the city, the club, the country and football. It's not ignorance, it's disrespect. Anyone who wants to educate Allan Davies or any other prick who takes sly snipes at such a horrific event, be my guest; but don't expect anything but a blinded and biased view against the club and the city.

I'm all ears how you can educate c*nts like Davies. I think it should be a bit more than tweeting a link to the HJC website, know what I mean?
Agreed mate.
People like him will never and can't be educated, they don't want to be.

I taught English in northern Italy for 4 years, had a lot of Juve supporters in my classes. When they found out (after about 2 mins) that I was a Liverpool supporter they were, at first, a little off with me. But when we got speaking about, both Heysel and Hillsbourgh they actually started to understand what really went on. I made some good friends there and I think that they were more open than a lot of the pricks that live in the UK.

No. Fuck him right off. But I tell you something you could do if you have that twitter malarkey and feel you should say something... go on there and tell Liverpool fans not to fall into the trap of spewing bile back at him. That would be a help. I'm sure you probably won't hold back the shit that's bound to get hurled at him, but I think that's the best we can do... stay above the vitriol and give him the rope to hang himself.

Mindless insensitive bullying of an all too common variety.

Either he's a dickhead, or he was pandering to dickheads for easy laffs.

It's utterly nobody's business if we have a memorial on that day until the end of time. And it's certainly not an excuse to score cheap points. So why even mention it at all, let alone rant about something so hurtful like you're personally affected.

Interesting thing (to me at least) is how even supposedly liberal-left leaning comedians, who wouldn't be caught dead sayimg anything that could be remotely construed as being racist, feel it's OK to have a go at scousers, and are happy to stereotype the citizens of an entire city, as well as trample on their feelings.

I mean, can you imagine Alan Davies, in a million years, criticising the Lawrence family for wanting to hold a memorial service/march/whatever they want to do on the anniversary of Stephen's death? Or lecturing them on how "it's time to move on"?

Davies has made a knob of himself (although. to be fair, he's acknowledged as much in a very short space of time). But there's a bigger picture here, which is that scousers have taken the place of the Irish/blacks/asians as the socially-acceptable butt of everyone's jokes.

It really is starting to get on my tits.

I don't get it. I've obviously only met Alan Davis through watching him on telly so I always thought he was a politically and socially astute comedian. I just don't get how the self-effacing character from QI can say this stuff. It just doesn't make sense.

Was of a similar point of view.
Really wasn't aware of his appearance on Room 101 and now this. What an absolute twat.
He's gonna regret trying to score easy laughs now.

What a c*nt.

But Davies seemed to care more about the fact that Liverpool's stance meant Chelsea were having to play their FA Cup tie only three days before their Champions League last-four clash with Barcelona.

He ranted: "Liverpool and the 15th -- that gets on my tits that shit. What are you talking about, 'We won't play on the day'. Why can't they?"

Laughing nervously, one of his co-presenters, Ian Stone, tried to point out why Liverpool FC don't take a business-as-usual approach to the most painful day in the club's history, saying: "Because it's too sad a memory."

But that simple and obvious explanation failed to deter Davies, who was on a roll.

He said: "Do they play on the date of the Heysel Stadium disaster? How many dates do they not play on? Do Man United play on the date of Munich? Do Rangers play on the date when all their fans died in that disaster whatever year that was - 1971?"Davies - who trades off his cuddly TV image - continued in his attack by savaging the Liverpool legend and manager Kenny Dalglish, who has defended the decision not to play on April 15th.

Davies raved: "Every interview he's given this season he looks like he wants to head-butt the interviewer. This tight-mouthed, furious, frowning, leaning-forward, bitter Glaswegian ranting, 'Liverpool FC do not play on April 15th'."

After beginning a poor impersonation of Dalglish, Davies broke off to say his attempt to mimic the Scotsman's accent was "terrible because I hate him".

Despite his fury on behalf of Chelsea - the last English club remaining in a European competition - Davies went on to admit he would think it was "awful" if they went on to win the Champions League.

Davies then aimed his sights at Tottenham Hotspur -- bitter city rivals of his beloved Arsenal. He claimed Spurs had refused to move a fixture back in 1980, two days before the Gunners were due to play a semi-final against the Italian club Juventus in the Cup Winners' Cup.

In another display of breathtaking insensitivity, Davies fired a scathing salvo at White Hart Lane bosses using a term the Nazis labelled Jews with in their vile propaganda. Tottenham chairman, Daniel Levy, is Jewish and the club has a strong Jewish following among its supporters.

He said: "What vermin run that club. They always have. Absolute vermin. Scum of the Earth."

Davies then began singing: "You burn your own town," a crass reference to the summer riots that devastated parts of Tottenham in north London.

During the podcast, Davies also made fun of the Arsenal striker and Moroccan international Marouane Chamakh who was recently pictured smoking a shisha pipe. He joked Chamakh was "stoned out of his box" and was Arsenal's "club dealer" peddling hashish to the rest of the squad from a "Range Rover with blacked out windows".

He also made potentially libellous remarks about Oliver Holt - The Daily Mirror's Chief Sportswriter. Insisting on referring to him as "Oliver Horseshit", he called the award-winning journalist a "dickhead", suggesting he had an issue with drink. "You can smell the alcohol in his tweets!" he laughed.

One listener to the podcast said: "I couldn't believe my ears. Alan Davies comes across as such a nice bloke on the telly but he sounded like a lout in this broadcast.

"He should apologise immediately to the relatives of the Hillsborough Disaster -- his comments were appalling. I can't believe they let him broadcast this rubbish."

Holy crap I didnt realise it was anywhere near that bad

Fuck your apology.  You don't mean it anyway.  Say what you want now, but your view is engrained in your head.  It's like when someone is drunk and says what they really feel.  You're a c*nt, Davies, and nothing you say now will change that.

To right the best way is to debate with him on Twitter about what he said and why we think he is wrong.

Disgraceful and he's an idiot, there's absolutely no excuse for it. Couldn't care less about any apology he has to give simply because its just a reaction to the backlash he's received from his insensitive and disgusting comments.

The stuff about Kenny is pathetic, claims its all a laugh and joke and they take the piss out of everyone on there and yet casually throws in 'i hate him', doesn't really come across as a joke does it.

Dont see whats so hard to understand about the fact that there is a hillsborough memorial service every year that players and the manager attend.

Saw he's in liverpool in september as part of his tour which makes this all the more idiotic.

He seems to hate everyone equally (except Arsenal, his club, and Chelsea for some strange reason) - he even called the owners of Spurs "vermin". They should sue him for defamation - nothing like a nice legal suit demanding for huge damages to make him grovel and eat humble pie.

Claims to have made a £1000 donation to a hillsborough campaign charity (dont know if anyone at the HJC can confirm this?)

It was very poor taste and the backtracking was laughable. But he has apologised and the media largely seems to be on our side for a change. And if Piers Moron is calling you an insensitive idiot you know you must be in the wrong.

Think its time to let it go because the minority of dicks on twitter sending death threats is only going to hurt us.
