Clarke Carlisle is one of the most boring commentators around and I’ve never understood how he gets on in punditry.
It’s very easy for people to jump onto this bandwagon, forgetting all the good Whelan has done for sport generally….It is very easy for people to jump on, but I’m afraid he started the engine and opened the door for them to hop in.

Would’nt be Mr Whelan if he didn’t griff, unfortunately :(
It seems he had a spat with our very own Jason Roberts over the kick it out campaign.

What a journey!Clarke Carlisle is one of the most boring commentators around and I’ve never understood how he gets on in punditry.

There is no denying that, he was very foolish in trying to defend Malkys actions… Even more foolish for employing him in my honest opinion…
Whelan is not a racist though, in my eyes anyway. So should no marks like Carlisle being calling for his head?
Personally I have a lot of respect for Clarke Carlisle and Jason Roberts who work tirelessly to rid football and society of Racism and discrimination in general and funnily enough equal respect with many who have got on to the anti- Whelan bandwagon. There is no room in society for racism, sexism, homophobia and discrimination against sexual orientation, disability or religion. Problem is the protesters are always seen as the loudest voice and common sense seems to get lost along the way. It is easy to shout, but everyone who shouts out their protestations should look at themselves first and they will find that none of us are totally squeaky clean.
Keep up the good work Clarke and Jason but keep it balanced and somewhere mention the fine work Latics and Whelan have done to become North West community club of the year and equally the fine work Latics and Whelan have done for the Kick it Out campaign.Personally I have a lot of respect for Clarke Carlisle and Jason Roberts who work tirelessly to rid football and society of Racism and discrimination in general and funnily enough equal respect with many who have got on to the anti- Whelan bandwagon.

Dave Whelan is not a racist, he came out with two phrases that he honestly thought were common chat in our part of the country and IMHO it is.
He apologised immediately he was told that the phrases offended certain sections of the population.
That should have been it, i was very emotional by the reception Dave Whelan got from the fans last week and clapped along with them. Does that make me and thousand others racists?Good luck to the people like Carlisle who are trying to address the issue of racism, as you say they are doing a great job. However, there is no need whatsoever to suggest that Dave Whelan is anything but a real gentleman,with no hidden agenda on these sensitive issues.
I liken it to the many media, fans etc of other clubs, who constantly babble on about us being a club not worthy of fighting for major honours, standing toe to to with the likes of Man U and Chelsea. It’s ignorance or lack of understanding, about our club, its history and what a massive achievement its been for us.

They have done nothing but fan the flames of their agenda driven diatribes to further their own standing within the PFA and Kick It Out. They neither want balance nor the application of common sense in this matter – to me it’s a clear case of ‘hey! look at me – I want to be a somebody who people will fear if they mention even the slightest thing controversial’. If they wanted balance then they would have already mentioned that the club had been awarded, after 18 months of being monitored, from Kick It Out the:
“Preliminary level of Kick It Out’s Equality Standard for Professional Football Clubs, which provides a framework that encourages and supports the development of equality practices and policies at professional clubs.” – taken from WiganLatics.co.uk.
and as recently as being awarded just before the Birmingham game.
Further, the closing sentiments from our very own Lisa Nandy are (well make up your own mind):
Wigan MP Lisa Nandy has congratulated Wigan Athletic for the award from Kick It Out and said: “This award is fitting recognition for the good work Wigan Athletic does both in our community and in creating an inclusive environment at the stadium.”
“Football has a special ability to bring people together and we can all be proud of the work Wigan Athletic do in promoting that message of unity.”
This all comes from the Chairman down to ball boys/girls.
So NO – Carlisle you and yours can take a running jump. He is nothing to me, his comments and opinions are worthless and if he thinks he represents the Kick It Out organisation then he has greatly miscalculated.
Oh almost forgot, he is considered Britain’s brainiest footballer :ohmy: :ohmy:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2048125/Clarke-Carlisle-gets-driving-ban-drunk-wheel.html
This is the chap that reckons Mr Whelan should resign. I think he needs to put his brain in gear: calling names, kills nobody; whereas drink driving could ! Pity that Ten O levels doesn’t equate to common sense in his case.
A proven idiot; he needs to swap camps from “Kick it Out” to “AA”
