Cameron comments on england football manager

[thinfourth2]

So we have Syria killing hundreds of its own citzens, the euro collapsing, record unemployment etc and so on


What is headline news


The highest politician in the land is talking about football managers.


Why can't we have a UK football team?

[elster]

We do have a British football team.

He was asked a question and gave an answer.

[thinfourth2]

But it is hardly headline news is it.


As to the british football team i've never heard of it

[Puggit]

And he's said the wrong thing too...

Apparently it's ok to take action against someone before they've been tried in a court

The Team GB football team? That's a team just for the Olympics, there certainly isn't a FIFA recognised British football team though.

Someone asked a question and he answered AIUI. I can't see what is wrong with that. Quite why anyone cares what his opinion is, is another question.

What i want to know is why it is mentioned in every bloody news report on the radio as the leading news story

Well, that's not Cameron's fault is it!

Surely you're not stupid enough to think he's said "hold on, stop what we're all doing, I'm spending all my time on this football manager issue"? Nah, he was probably just asked about the situation and made some comments, unlikely to be anything more than that unless you're in the foil hat brigade (or labour fanboy )

The media are reporting it as they believe that what people *really* want to know about and will sell papers/advertising etc.....

Viper Pict, mostly...

'cos it's new?
We know about the employment, Syria and President Finch from American Pie, and Kerry Katona hasn't fallen over yet, so football next.

Lets be honest, most voters are probably more interested in football than Syria.

[pedant] No, there's three of them. There are however four UK football teams [/pedant]

If he hadn't you, and all the rest of your lefty chums, would be frothing at the gash that "Cameron is out of touch with the man in the street".

i take it that the lefty dig is aimed at me

I would prefer him to answer that he has more important things to care about then the latest movements in gayball

Seems fair enough to me, what else could be have done.

Why is it important? Because lots of people like watching football so it's important to them. Why should the news confine itself entirely to misery that has been covered already.

At least he was asked to comment unlike the archbishop of Canterbury who should keep quiet on things he knows nothing about (eg the banking industry).

I think the usual course in most things is to suspend someone after police involvement and before a trial.

He was asked, he answered. It annoys me that someone used that moment to ask him such a stupid question, though.


Reminds me of this:
