Nobody has doubted what was said by the plank of a caller the issue is how did the presenters deal with it. I’ve now seen two snippets this one slightly better than the first one but still it’s only a snippet and it’s a snippet that is obviously edited. If that went out live and the presenters didn’t deal with it properly then there is a major issue here; but did it go out live or are we seeing something that was dumped and moreover why every time just a snippet when what we need to see is just how did the presenters address it?

I'm afraid I don't own TalkSport, nor the rights to broadcast an entire 2-3 hour programme... unfortunately, that's all that's left online of what was said... I merely found what was available and posted it... apparently, the online stream went out live (as they don't have the 5 second delay) ...whereas the Radio version was dumped, for obvious reasons.
The reason it's even out there is because it was broadcast in some shape or form, for people to hear/see.
Snippets and scraps is all we got i'm afraid!
Sorry I can't provide you with the full transcript of events that you require to make your case, m'lud!

Well this is a serious issue old chap and such ranting from yourself needed to follow some concrete evidence that the presenters did not challenge the ignorant caller. I in no way shape or form believe that live on air they didn’t comment to one another and to their audience once the caller was dumped. I don’t know because I wasn’t listening but I will be listening to Big Al in the morning- if there is any truth in this episode I’m sure he will be talking about it.

Ignorant phone in warrior says anti Semitic thing about Jews in reaction to Daniel Levy playing hardball over Kane transfer.... barely gets a mention .

Equally Ignorant internet warrior says racist thing about black players after the Euros final = national news.

Either it's ALL bad... or just some of it is...
And THAT'S the problem!

Ah I see. Yeah that's shit to put it bluntly.

Ps how the actual fuck does DTM DTM disagree with this? Surely an abuse of the system

If every caller that was ever dumped for swearing or for saying something racist or anti-Semitic on LBC or Talk Radio or
any other radio phone in found it’s way on to YOUTUBE like a collection of outtakes or deleted scenes perhaps then you’d understand that the issue is not what was said but whether the presenters dealt with it correctly. What I’m disagreeing with is the flack the presenters are getting yet there is no evidence “yet” that they didn’t take the caller to task.

They cut him off and moved on no?
Why would they edit out the dealing with of the issue by the presenters when that's what we all wanna see.
I think you're just using the disagree for no reason and also being argumentative about it all for no reason.
It's shit and got zero coverage.

I’ve explained my position fully more than three times.

Spurs have issued a statement so clearly it has had some coverage. I shall be listening fixated to TalkSPORT later this morning hopefully Mr. Brazil is not off today. I can’t see him not dissecting this.
 
Perry Groves clearly shakes his head in disbelief

Sadly I watched it live as I just wanted to watch something in English while over here. Both presenters were put in an uncomfortable situation & just wanted the fool off air.

Did they say anything about what the caller said immediately after the comments or did they just move on?

Groves looked shocked & Jordan just went “ Errrrm “ pulled a face & was probably told that the production team were getting rid of him.

I’m not sure what else they could do really , they can’t start having a go at the idiot . Maybe in hindsight they would have said “ what a idiotic thing to say “ but they were clearly very uncomfortable. As much as he annoys me , Adrian Durham probably would have dealt with it better as he’s a seasoned broadcaster but these two clearly aren’t .

Agree 100 percent- they were shaking their heads dumbfounded and better suited as pundits rather than broadcasters pretty much what I’ve been saying all along.

They didn't take him to task. He was cut off. Why you being so aggro about it

You've both just added absolutely nothing to the discussion apart from increasing the possibility of it veering off topic, again.

I'd say racism baiting is very much part of the topic Case, nothing was proven on three occasions on what you deemed to be "an important discussion". Also you didn't give me a chance to respond to this individual when he called out my conduct/character etc, and he didn't provide the evidence he said he would.

My entire argument on this topic in that thread was in opposition to fake racism claims, and there were three in a row like I say on that thread that you closed.

So it's important unless I'm not proved to be in the wrong is it?
 
Gotta be honest I don’t think the talksport presenters deserve the flak they’re getting. It’s the caller who should be getting the abuse. Yes, with hindsight, they should’ve called it out but when you’re not expecting it that kind of thing isn’t always easy to do. Perhaps a ‘lessons learnt’ and that’s it.
