BFTD Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I think the phrase rhymes with "clucking bell" Is Bristow a notorious shitehawk, or is this outburst something of a surprise? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also sounds like there were concerns raised about his behaviour on several occasions before he was convicted. These things were dealt with very differently in the past and you'd hope that a coach who behaves in the way Bennell did wouldn't be able to get access to children today. Guardian article on the case - https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/nov/26/barry-bennell-victims-football-paedophile-interviews?CMP=share_btn_tw As sure as night follows day, there will be coaches like Bennel in all sports that have access to children, master manipulators ain't thick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notorious shitehawk. Racist, misogynist w****r. As Chappers said, hopefully this is the end of his appearances on Sky and his marking for the PDC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) Think he gave his wife a quite public smack about a few years ago as well. Proper tough guy and man's man, is Eric.

Not that it matters, even if it was coming from an all time great on the mic, it'd still be untenable in my eyes but he's a shite broadcaster anyway and only good for annoying Phil Taylor. As I've said I'm no Social Justice Warrior but to label someone soft because they were preyed on by a paedophile and have lifelong mental scarring as a result is fucking horrendous. Edit: Sky have binned him from darts coverage in last 15 minutes. It's really amazing how quickly stupid people can sabotage their own cushy careers.

GordonD Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Never liked him when he was playing - he had that arrogant swagger. Yes, he was good at what he did but he bloody knew it and I used to love seeing the smug look wiped off his face when he lost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmc Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Eric Bristow has lost his Sky job. Does talksport have a darts correspondent? He seems ideal for their demographic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTJohnboy Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I seem to recall he was on very friendly terms with the notorious Robert Black - an utter scumbag who sexually abused several young girls before murdering them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly off topic but I spoke to a keen darts player a while ago (he was a great guy himself) and he went through all the darts players he'd met over the years. Must have mentioned 10-15 big darts names and Gary Anderson was the only one he could say anything good about. Apparently, the rest of them are absolute wanks. Can't remember if he mentioned Eric Bristow or not but I can't imagine many normal people would meet him and say "what a decent bloke, I'd like to hang around him more often." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My missus regularly slates the darts players on TV when I am watching it. The vast majority do look like they will be outed on Crimewatch as sex offenders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
