Middlesborough left the realm in 1968 Grimsby & Scunny 1996 Perhaps North Lincolnshire holds healthy diplomatic relations with the Republic of Yorkshire's foreign office and has maintained trade links?
Well of course. If he said something good he'd get praise, but since he said something stupid he's getting stick. Would you prefer it some other way?
Just listening to lunchtime football focus on Radio 5, Alan Green once again said that Yorkshire desperately need a Premiership team. He went on to say sorry to the Sheffield clubs but it his choice is Leeds, they are a big club with good supporters and should be back up. A short while later they apologised saying they realised that Hull City were in the Premiership and it was an over site by Green. While the apology was being read out Green was laughing in the background. He really is an ignorant twat !!!
Just watched MOTD2 on BBC, think it must have been the same bloke on there (Irish guy). He said the same thing about Leeds being the biggest club in Yorkshire and apologised to Sheffield. I was shouting at the TV "what about Hull City". It this ridiculous old label of "Humberside". Hate it.
I had the misfortune to see and hear the **** saying it (again) – I must have heard him say this at least three times. He sort of says it in a ‘some of my best friends are black’ way. To clarify, insincere is what I’m driving at. Also, which two bedevilled creatures came together to create that splat of tissue, bone and blood? But I never saw the apology, must have fallen asleep at the switch, so to speak.
He's just been on that live MOTD2 this lunchtime and said again that the Premier League needs a team from Yorkshire in it. I text in to put him right, guess I wasn't the only one. A few minutes later Mark Chapman told him that Hull was in Yorkshire, Green put his hands up as if to acknowledge it. I know he's not everyones cup of tea but I don't mind him as a commentator. He has opinions, he's not bland which I think makes his commentaries more interesting than some others.
Who listens to farvelarve anyway, and who the **** is Alan Green? Never heard of the bloke, simply sounds like some know nowt, Leeds supporting, green eyed luvvie to me.
That **** Alan Green has just said "We need a Yorkshire team in the Premier League, I'm sorry Sheffield but Leeds are the foremost team in Yorkshire" Die Green, you fat ****
Suspect that fat turd is of a certain age and has a mindset of the football hierarchy of this area. The fact that Leeds and Sheffield are are on the M1 means it's a comfort zone for national journos. From Hull, Hell and Halifax etc
Personally, I've never heard of him. I don't feel I'm missing much. I've merged a thread, and copied comments from another onto this one.
He's some overweight northern irish **** who gets his kicks from getting people's backs up. Seems to have a bizarre affinity with Leeds United. He'll probably have a **** live on air if they get back to the Premier League before he carks it.
He said because he commentated on them in the semi final of the Champions league he has an emotional attachment to them, then said the Premiership needed a Yorkshire team in it and apologised to Sheffield that it shouldn't be them as Leeds are the much bigger club. I considered getting angry and throwing me radio out of the car window but that would have left a hole in me consul. So instead I laughed and sang part of this Morrissey song to me self.

The Blades battling to stay in League 1. Grimsby non league. The vermin in utter disarray and a laughing stock to boot. Us drawing with Tottenham fair and square. This the natural justice I'd always believed in but never thought I'd witness. Praise the (Mally) Lord.
The first ever football game I got for PS1 was called 'Olympic Soccer' - on the box it said "Real commentary from radio's Alan Green!" haha. It was brilliant, totally stereotypical made-up names for all the countries players, e.g. Irish players were all called things like McDougal and O'Neill.
