TS: Rangers chairman David Murray vs post-Ayler tenorman David Murray.

One blows a mean horn, the other blows all his money on shite players

... you decide who does what

Which one blows Coisty?

interesting thread, this: just catching up with it now.

I do think there's a fair point to be made that what Hicks and Bruce are praised for is what Manning actually did

dom, can you elaborate here? there might be a fair point in there, but i dunno what it might be ;)

His funeral contained a missive pre-recorded, in which he tells how much he really did blacks, jews, etc etc, proclaims himself a proud racist, and so on.

Most surprising deathbed statement since F.Mercury!

Bernard was a comidien end of story,he took the pee out of EVERYONE I saw him live and he was so funny and at the end of his show he always sung a lovely song. Leave him alone. He is better then Billy Connelly and the disgusting Roy chubby Brown who only goes on about :womens parts: plus you can't understand a word he says...whoops am I being racist about the Geordies? Nowt wrong with Bernard

Touching eulogy from Trevor Phillips there.

"how much he really did blacks, jews,"

he never them?

Loved? Shagged? Hated? This is an important word to miss!

hate is the word.

Oh, it was in the NOTW, along with a condemning editorial. from Editors.

What? One number one album and they get to have their say in a national newspaper?

This is all I can find about it:

Suppose he's bluffing?

Nah, he's definitely dead.

ABOUT THE RACIALISM

What the fuck is this shit?

“Farewell to thee, Mancunian Manning. May your soul rest in peace, with these heartfelt from your next door Indian family.”

Watching this thing on Channel 4 just now (missed the start of it), I had sort of forgotten, due to avoiding him for as long as possible, just how repulsive Manning actually was.

he had great timing thou.

xpost

sadly, i hadn't. but now the fucker's dead there seems to be no getting away from him. FUCK OFF, MANNING, YOU DEAD WANKER.

nah nah jokes, bruv. he was fucking shit.

This is the weirdest show ever.

And now Arnold Brown has turned up to give him smackdown. Wtf?

Ah, but Arnold Brown's never played the MGM Grand in Vegas. He's NOTHING!

(i.e. good fucking riddance Manning you repulsive bastard. Fuck you and everything you stand for)

What's making this even weirder is that it's filmed and edited like it was done on a budget of about £3k, making it look like something off Community TV or The Teachers' Channel.

OK, after that last confession ("hello, I am a bigoted fucker who sees nothing wrong in that at all"), I hope there is a hell and he's burning in it forever. What a hideous excuse for a man.

looked good for his age

The confession was very confused and complex. Needs a lot of unpacking.

So did he write that himself, or was he just being interviewed by a guy dressed as St Peter in a shitty fake beard, or.....

That show was so slow and so little content and with no idea what it was trying to say. The director was probably shit scared of Manning and let him 'direct' it.

Manning was such a cunt. In a way he reminded me of Brian Clough in The Damned United. But with racism.

I didn't even know Arnold Brown was still alive.

I did laugh at the "Unorthodox Jew" gag.

But other than that, whatta cunt.

Chris Rock at Live Earth to thread

This man should probably have been deprived of the oxygen of publicity, even though he's dead

Well, he's been deprived of the oxygen of breathing, so that will have to do.

it's not the shitbag man that's so depressing, it's the followers, seemed to be a lotta skin head types around him, young people too.

"they think it's fookin bombay"

amen, MG

Yeah, the sloping foreheads in that gig they filmed weren't a pleasant looking bunch. Plus, who the fuck laughs at the "can y'fookin' shoot me first" joke?
