Liverpool FC Forum

[adamnbarrett]

Sports Journalist and former sport's editor of the Mail on Sunday Ian Stafford was interviewed on the Simon Mayo show on the BBC discussing the Champions League draw. 

A paraphrasing of what Stafford says follows below:

Mayo: If Liverpool end up playing Man U in the final, they may as well move it to somewhere like Villa Park?

Stafford: No, Hillsborough (laughs to himself)

Rest of Panel: Total silence

(long pause)

Mayo: Errr, moving on..."

The guests are named around 5 minutes in the Hillsborough comment is on 8 minutes 48 seconds in.

Many have already emailed Simon Mayo complaining about Stafford's comments. You can do so as well by emailing mayo@bbc.co.uk

Disgraceful.  You could tell he was embarassed and knew he'd fucked up big time, the stuttering prick.

[RUSHIE#9]

Absolute idiot . Yes we all make mistakes and say things that we regret but after all of the recent problems of other low lives dragging up the past you would think that these "professionals" would know what was ok and what needs to be steered well clear of. A split second after he says it you can hear somebody groan as if to say WTF. I'd like to think that the guy has suddenly realised what he's said and that is what the groan is. I haven't listened any further so does anybody know if any kind of apology was made at all?

[Garymac]

That is shocking, what was he thinking 

[Pedro Maradona]

good god ...what an idiot...... Do you have to be stupid to be a journalist or does it just help?.....
my god its appalling, it really really is.

[tubby]

Something wrong with my internet streaming settings so i cant hear it. How stupid though.

I always thought Journalists were professional.

[hello_red]

goes to show that the media by and large in this country dont give a about justice, just about selling papers. it annoys, for example, that they will happily right an article about what happened in a very biassed very anti scouse way but then wont mention something positive. we give a they dont end of, its sad but its true.
