Andy Dawson's a touchy prick, isn't he?

[king_tubby]

Yes.

[Ballad of Ballard Berkley]

I think andy is his irl mate tbf.

I consider him a pal, yes, and I'm a bit worried about whatever the fuck happened today. The way folk pile into him on this site is rank, to be honest. He's a nice fella. You don't have to agree.

[king_tubby]

If he's so nice why is he such a prick on Twitter?

[sutin]

He's only reaping what he sows. No sympathy for the cunt.

[king_tubby]

Andy Dawson sowing: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!

Andy Dawson reaping: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

[Ballad of Ballard Berkley]

Och I dunno. Fuck knows. I hope he's okay. That's all.

[Mister Six]

Massively alarmed by that Gove tweet of his. Mainly because until just now I had him confused with Andy Parsons and thought hmmm that's a savage change of tone from his typical Mock The Week routines.

Wait, is Andy Parsons the one WHO SHOUTS EVERY JOKE LIKE HE'S GOT THE GRAND CANYON BETWEEN HIM AND THE MIC? Because if so, me too.

[machotrouts]

Congratulations to Andy Dawson on his first good tweet

[ollyboro]

Andi Peters is currently selling cheese on QVC. Fucking hell.

[Mister Six]

Whaaa? Is he struggling for work that much? I thought he was a pretty accomplished producer.

[ollyboro]

That's what I thought. He's been at it for years, apparently. He's off at the moment. He's been replaced by two cunts selling steak pies.

[The Bumlord]

Top Flight Time Machine has sacked him.

[madhair60]

That's a joke presumably.

[The Bumlord]

No. I realise it's not news to shake the earth to its core.

Ha.

[Ferris]

That's a joke presumably.

It's not a very funny one.

...which, to be fair, is on brand for our Andy.

[The Bumlord]

Oh, have I fallen victim to a simple lampoon?

[wooders1978]

Oh, have I fallen victim to a simple lampoon?

Well it appears they have sacked him but fuck knows if it's just japes

[DrGreggles]

Considering it's his podcast, it's unlikely that he's sacked himself.

Ten thumbs up

Quite. This site gets stupider by the day.

[alan nagsworth]

Mate, come on. I wasn't aware he had a football podcast so it's news to me as of this morning, but even now that I know this, I think that following this debacle, it's not exactly good form to make a joke tweet about firing yourself in the third person, whilst making light of your own threat of assault in the same breath. Even if it was Delaney who tweeted that, it's still monstrously fucking stupid.

[Ballad of Ballard Berkley]

I agree, but I'm just feeling quite miserable at the moment. Not asking for sympathy or owt, it's no one's fault. I should stop reading CaB for a while, really.*

* I will obviously log in later.

[alan nagsworth]

I'm sorry to hear it, man, and I would agree that sometimes depending on my mood this is one of the places I should really stay away from for a couple of days, though it is difficult. Spare time during lockdown, this forum is basically the only place I know where to be!

I hope you feel better soon. Go out for a walk, maybe? It's a beautiful morning today.

[wooders1978]

If being uninformed equates to stupidity these days then guilty as charged - I didn't know it was "his" podcast as the twitter site refers to it being owned by some fella called Gary Delaney

[notjosh]

It's not really a "threat of assault" is it? Just like the Cabbers in that Remain Indoors thread aren't actually levelling serious allegations of child rape against Sir Captain Sir Tom Moore.[nb]Sorry lads, have to say this in case his lawyers are reading. We all know the score.[/nb] It was a bad idea, and maybe a bit mean-spirited, to tweet it directly at his wife, but even then the prospect of being "booted in the bollocks" isn't exactly going to keep him up at night is it? He may as well have threatened to give him a wedgie or slap him with a fish.

Even if it was Delaney who tweeted that, it's still monstrously fucking stupid.

It's a joke, taking the piss out of po-faced corporate responses to minor social media furores. People getting angry about it only makes it more appropriate.

May 1969 West Ham become the first team in history to play in kits made of ham etc etc.

And I'm back. Phew, what a surprise.

Thanks, fella, just had a lovely walk around the park. This is the only place I know where to be too, so I'm genuinely sorry for snapping earlier. Dunno what I'd do without you splendid pricks.

Soz.

[buntyman]

Bit of a shame all this nasty business, I'd really been enjoying TFTM over lockdown. Hope this doesn't interfere with the release of the final episode of the snow White odyssey.
Never ceases to amaze me the people that are very reliant on Twitter followings for their career continue to use it so carelessly.

Threat or not, it's still an extremely unpleasant thing to have done. Take a step back and view the events: blurting out something regrettable during a live interview is one thing, but conjuring up the thought, and then committing that thought to text, and then looking at the text and the recipient and thinking, "yeah, that's appropriate behaviour for a rational, grown man"? Nah, I'm not having that, I'm afraid.

Oh, it's a joke! Blimey, I hadn't considered that.
