Idiot Marsh Sacked

Last updated : 25 January 2005 By Paul Farrington

Marsh during his playing days
Marsh is a pundit on Sky Sports and became popular with Wigan fans after he suggested West Ham deserve to be in the Premiership more so that the Latics.

He foolishly made in-excusible comments about the Asian tsunami disaster on the phone in last night. We would not like to repeat these comments and officials at Sky Sports said: "We have today ended Rodney Marsh's contract with Sky Sports. The decision was made this morning, following a review of his comments on last night's edition of 'You're on Sky Sports'.

"During the live night-time phone-in Rodney made comments that were offensive and inexcusable. An apology was made within the programme and Rodney's comments were edited and removed from later transmissions.

"These remarks should never have been made and Sky would like to offer its apologies to those who were offended."

Marsh himself, 60, a former Q.P.R and Manchester City player said:"I apologise unreservedly for any offence I caused by my thoughtless and inappropriate comment I made last night.

Job may be added to the list of things that Marsh's stupidity has cost him. Hair is already on there!
"My intention was to make a light-hearted football joke."

He is well known for his light-hearted comments, and some have led to his hair loss. I would add reputation loss, but you need a reputation first!

He said that he would have his head shaved if current Wigan boss Paul Jewell could keep his former club Bradford City in the Premiership. I'm sure the picture will clear things up on how that one went.

We still await an apology for the remark made about Wigan Athletic.
