I heard his whining little voice on the radio this morning. Such a nasally, boring little twat. Even if he was speaking sense I’d struggle to listen to him.

Has he ever said anything of worth? Ever?

Hypocritical idiot who a few years ago said that players who are the victim of racial abuse should shake hands after the game and resolve it as quickly as possible.
This past year he has condemned Blatter for making the exact same suggestion.

Also drives too fast, puts childrens lives at risk and is too cowardly to accept responsibility for his actions and hides behind technicalities.

Just about to find somewhere to mention this cretin. On Sly Sports News now.

"We need to teach or players who come in from abroad, the ways of the land and what is and isn't acceptable". Starts going on about Suarez again and again.

Ah why of course, as those who were born upon these shores are well mannered gents, with no previous slights on their past. We are so perfect and everyone should be like us.

Why doesn't he organise a workshop for all these foreigners where they can learn about the essence of British fair play from say: Adam Johnson, Danny Welbeck and Gareth Bale.

That should help them adapt a whole lot quicker. Make it happen you lilly livered woolyback.

No idea why our players sign up to the PFA. It does fuck all for them and, worst of all, doesn't give a fuck about struggling lower league players - the exact people they're supposed to represent.

Gordon Taylor's job is to stand up for players at clubs who haven't been paid/are being mistreated. He forgot that years ago.

Cheap car insurance when you're in the PFA mate. I know a bloke who is mates with Roger Johnson. They pay about a grand a year to insure all their cars, weather it be a Clio or a Ferrari.

He is a reactionary, hypocritical twat who is riding the gravy train for all its worth, why does he never speak about about anything worthy ? Diving, cheating players trying to get fellow professionals sent-off, ludicrously expensive ticket prices while players have never been so rich - not a peep.
I appreciate that his is, in essence, a political post but he always waits a while for reactions to any piece of scandal or whatever news story then picks the argument he thinks is best or most popular, takes slimy opportunism to a whole new level - a born politician.

At least he was gracious enough to give Harry Harris a bit of time when he was writing this.

Harry Harris looks back at all the title winning seasons and analyses each one from the viewpoint of a player who distinguished himself in that title year, building up to the record title and an in-depth analysis of the 2010-11 season and how United finally surpassed Liverpool. The book looks at the record through the eyes of those who took part in each of them, or who observed them from close quarters. "19" features exclusive interviews with Arthur Albiston, Alan Brazil, Steve Bruce, Garth Crooks, Gary Pallister, Paul Parker, Lee Sharpe, Gordon Taylor, Dave Whelan, Ray Wilkins.

I think Taylor and Whelan must come into the observing at close quarters catagory. As close to Fergusons arse as they could get.

His comments yesterday are his worst yet.

The role of a Union is to protect its members from mistreatment from their employees and to ensure their contracts are honoured and working conditions are adequate.

Yet the highest paid Union chief executive in the country is now advocating company owners taking disciplinary action against their employee. Going against the whole concept of Unionism.

He is not fit for his job and these are his most dangerous comments yet.

I didn't believe it till today, but the media and FA are gonna do everything in their power to hound Suarez out of England.
The QPR Chelsea handshake was CALLED OFF in fear of Ferdinand and Terry not shaking hands.

Rio Ferdinand a=can fail to turn up for a drugs test and not get this grief.
Even Cantona can commit assault and not get the chief of FA telling United's owners what they should and shouldn't do.
Spit the dog didn't get this level of abuse from the governing body.

It goes without saying that Sunday Supplement was a car crash this morning, but how can anyone move on when every second headline is about Suarez, they won't stop till he's gone.

Now the gin soaked one is claiming Our Louis is sacked for failing to shake hands and the press our lapping it up AGAIN.

This game is becoming a joke, I'm getting to the point where I can get enjoy it anymore, Istanbul seems light years away.

I can only assume Suarez isn't a member.

They'd be in breach of their constitution if he was. (assuming that as a Union their principle aim is to defend the interests of its members and not to provide airtime and a huge salary for a crook.)

Perhaps. That being said, they are supposed to have representatives for each club.

The Gulleysucker · « **Reply #31 on:** February 12, 2012, 11:53:30 am »

Something that has always struck me as a bit odd was this from the Mirror way back....

PFA chief executive Taylor said: “We always try to mediate in these situations. But now it’s the FA’s job to carry on with their investigation.”
Evra has insisted he wants to take the case all the way and the Football Association are investigating.
But Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish has also been strong in his defence of Suarez and insists his striker is not a racist.
The PFA were hoping to bring the two together to stop the matter ending up with a full scale FA investigation.
Manchester United boss Mr. Ferguson has admitted Evra wanted to take it all the way.

Now reading that, I took it at the time and still do now, to mean that it was very much MUFC & Evra that rejected the opportunity of conciliation at the time, which fair enough was their prerogative.

But Taylor is now saying on the BBC...

Asked if Liverpool had been responsive to their the PFA's approaches, Taylor said: "I would have to say that in the very beginning, no they weren't, so as a result this has developed into where it has.
"It's my job to try to stop such issues escalating.
"At the very beginning I approached both clubs but it wasn't possible to get that reconciliation or any acceptance of culpability or apology and, from that time on, it's just escalated."

From that, he now seems to want to change the story and apportion the blame for lack of conciliation at the time only on LFC.

Something seems to not quite add up here. He seems to be painting a semi fictional history to simply fit the present and if the original Mirror report was true (to be fair, it was the Mirror which like all papers is often questionable though the article did seem to gain traction in a few other papers at the time but was rapidly overwhelmed by other news), seems to confirm an evolving agenda and very much an anti-LFC one.

On the one hand I do think that many of these people in these organisations are sometimes living in the past and fail to understand the power that the WWW now gives to enable speedy research of peoples past pronouncements. It's not like 20 years ago when you would have to go to your library and wade through loads of old newpapers and write stuff down on a jotter. We have Google now. Unfortunately though, on the other hand it would seem that the average red top reading skywashed audience can't be arsed seeking truth and just want to be fed agenda driven opinion, and I expect people like Taylor also know that. But I think a few people that have perhaps been keen to stick the knife in over this episode, like Taylor and Powar etc, have provided a goldmine of quotes that may well come back to haunt them in the future. I'm reasonably confident that many of these publicity seeking characters riding on this story are in for a fall from grace someday, but unfortunately the damage they have done to others will outlast them.

I posted previously about an email correspondance I had with Gordon questioning the selectivety of his comments on racism and his apparant anti liverpool agenda. This was the email I originally sent on 9/1/2012 following another media led frenzy starring Gordon after the Oldham game.

Dear Mr Taylor

I am a Trade Unionist and am employed by a charity to deliver anti-discrimination training to employees, I have therefore had more than a passing interest in the high profile adopted by yourself and Clarke Carlisle in the recent racism debate surrounding the case of Suarez and separately, your condemnation of the alleged racist abuse of Adeyemi. Please note the use of the word alleged as, despite your confident statement the racial abuse happened, the Police have not yet brought charges. Perhaps you work to the same remit as the FA ie decide the verdict then gather evidence to justify the decision! I know you are very busy however please take the time to read this` http://tomkinstimes.com/2012/01/all-spanish-speakers-are-racist/ - and maybe feel a little uncomfortable about the sorry state of affairs surrounding this case.

Having taking the decision to wave the flag in the fight against racism using strong words to beat LFC, its fans and employees I look forward to your equally strong words and high profile condemnation of the hoards of fans who chant vile and racist abuse against Adebayor over the last few seasons. As far as I am aware I havent heard any public utterings from The PFA or yourself.. Your silence on this is matched by the absence of your pleas for protection for another immigrant and Union member- Suarez who faces career long abuse following a highly subjective decision by the FA. Instead of calling for calm you seem to actively be promoting the vilification of one of your own members. Please remember both the FA and Evra stated that Suarez is NOT a racist.

As a side note you might want to study the words of the Oldhan chairman who had nothing but praise for the players and officials of LFC in the way they supported Adeyemi. I havent yet seen back page headlines promoting this so your high profile could be of assistance in getting this ‘good news story’ about LFC out in the public domain,,,,,,,,

I look forward to your efforts to support all your members as you are currently discrediting the role and status of trade unionism in this country.

Yours sincerely

His responses to my initial email were three increasingly hostile requests for me to give him full details of my employer with, I am convinced, the implied aim that he wanted to contact my employer to cause trouble for me. I obviously asked Gordon why he wanted the information but he didnt offer an explaination. Suffice to say he also didnt offer any response at all to any of the points I made.

Having heard his comments on the non handshake yesterday and his justification for Ferdinands solidarity with Evra compared with his earlier condemnation of Dalglish's and LFCs players support for Suarez, it surely has become untenable for Liverpool players to continue with membership of the PFA. If the PFA are affiliated to the TUC I would hope that the TUC investigate the Taylors actions in this saga.
