Apology by Radio Humberside about Brian Laws and his Holocaust reference

What was all this about? They seemed to apologise for it immediately after his interview.

I had it on but didn't hear anything.

 

I didn't hear any Holocaust remark but that was mainly because I couldn't care less about that South Bank ****e. When they're unhappy, I'm happy!

My mate in the car said he heard the word Holocaust but didn't really catch the context that it was used in.

 

Is he now a holocaust denier?

 

he said one of his players made a holocaust pass whatever that is! think he was supposed to say hospital

 

Just waiting for the first bad taste comment about this, can't be long

 

Did he he suggest some players have an instinctive understanding of the game but others need to really focus 100% on their actions and he felt not enough were in the 'concentration' camp?

 

Haha, was going to make some reference about them having Yossi Benayoun on loan but stopped myself

 

I did avoid the one about Scunthorpe being just a shower.

 

3 posts in ten minutes dutch!! You've got modding to do. You cant stay here all night gassing..........

 

Humph, I hope people realise whatever I do from now, I was only obeying orders.

 

Heard it in the car and thought it an odd choice of words but wasnt really offensive.
Never heard it used on a football program before.
Ironically moments before the link man had said that there were going to be live reactions today.
Think they might be recorded/time delays next time.

 

I'm sure someone in football said something similar a few years ago, and the majority of people held their head in the hands in total incomprehension at the lack of intelligence/awareness of some people in the industry. Can't remember who, but it was some flippant remark by some dopey dickhead.

I watched a docu on the Nazi occupation of Soviet territories during WW2 on the 'Yesterday' channel the other night, and it was so incredibly dreadful. Real footage, real people, real genocide...real murder, filmed. We all did GCSEs/O-levels, we all know.

How some stupid **** with inflated self importance because he coaches a football team can associate it with a 'pass' is just astonishing.

 

It was Tony Cascarino who said it on Sky Sports News.

Don't think he's been on since.

 

That's him, well remembered.

It's easy I suppose to say these things when you've not thought or been educated about it recently, but the footage and facts are out there.

I suppose my gripe is partly with ignorance, partly with arrogance.

 

the word isn't far from hostpital so give him the benefit of the doubt

 

I had a PE teacher who just casually slipped the word into conversation about a football match once - he said someone was 'having an absolute holocaust' referring to a bad game.

 

It's only in recent years that 'holocaust' seems to have become exclusively linked to the Jews in WW2.

It used to be trotted out whenever there was a devastating inferno (which of course means hell) as in 'The building was completely gutted despite sixteen appliances attending.It was a holocaust. There were no survivors.'

As far as I know Brian Laws has no links with Lazio.

 

I heard it and it was actually a part of a cringe worthy interview. He slated his own players, then praised them and ended up slating them again.
Along the lines of "The players we have got dont know how to play the game in the right spirit, they have no determination. They know how to play and are determinded to play well and we are working with them to get better. But you can only work with what you have and these players are not showing that they have what is needed"

 

Shoah :

The Hebrew word meaning "catastrophe," denoting the catastrophic destruction of European Jewry during World War II. The term is used in Israel, and the Knesset (the Israeli Parliament) has designated an official day, called Yom ha-Shoah, as a day of commemorating the Shoah or Holocaust.
