Around the box? Stick a couple of pubes around the 18 yard line and he'd have won the ballon d'or. The sleazy c**t. Still interested in the context in which the club wanted to interact with the creepy weirdo in the first place? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a bit drunk watching it last night so can’t remember if that was the first time it was revealed. The Andrew Sachs stuff looks so much worse now as well, calling up an old man to goad him about knobbing his granddaughter for goodness sake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Ross should both have been cancelled on the back of that shit. Ross is another despicable c**t who should have been removed from MSM long ago. His far less famous brother was outed very publicly for personal misdemeanours in his marriage (all consensual afaik). Why is that p***k still on TV to this day after such disgusting, juvenile behaviour? Another one who makes the skin crawl. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I do find it strange that the story become public knowledge after the television companies have wrung every last drop of money than can out of the accused's career and not at the height of his fame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I may be wrong but.im.sutr Private Eye has been rallying against these super injunctions for years and this and Schofield were two that were seen as being used to protect personality rather than victims. I'm assuming both stories came out after extensions to them weren't granted? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Channel 4 has scheduled an episode of Dispatches with no details between 9pm and 10:30pm on Saturday night and it's alleged that the Sunday Times are also preparing to report on whatever this story is. So at least for the next few hours we have the hilarious spectacle of loads of weirdos speculating about what the story is. So lets join in. What do P&Bers think the big breaking story is? What is your favourite big breaking story? What's your favourite rumour that people assured you was about to break but never did? I think it’s going to be about Russell Brand. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Haven’t watched this yet so can’t particularly comment but you’d think dispatches must be pretty watertight with their investigation for it to go out on channel 4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be as fair as I possibly can be here - Ross was far worse than brand in that saga and it was him who mentioned the granddaughter. A 47 year old man goading a 78 year old man about a 33 year old man shagging his 23 year old granddaughter is despicable behaviour that you can’t come back from. Sachs came out after it saying he didn’t want it to go any further saying he was a performer and sometimes performances go horribly wrong. It still hasn’t aged well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Brand was having a joke from the transcript I'd seen but the actual call is horrifying. The way he speaks about the assistant like some fucking slave is jailtime. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I see Irvine Welsh is defending his pal Brand by using whataboutery based on easily disproven RT disinformation. Some people really should just keep their mouths shut. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 The Brand/Ross, Sachs call was really typical of the sort of 00's cruel cultural wasteland and 'lads, lads, lads' attitudes of the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
