Jaspa Posted 30 October 2018 Posted 30 October 2018 (edited) Really low of him to say stuff like that in a place where thousands are paying their respects to the man he's talking about and if his apology tweet is as sincere as he's being he can do one. Roan is a journalist whose profession is reporting things as fact with his word, infact his word is the only integrity he has and there he is floundering it, on camera knowingly or not. A big deal shouldnt be made of it as fans though, it's detracting from a tragedy we're all trying to get through in a good way Edited 30 October 2018 by Jaspa 2

I expect it would have become a story in time but this is far too soon and the fact it wasn’t in the media yesterday showed that the papers were showing some restraint ........... it wouldn’t have been a ‘secret’ to many of them - no one away from those close to vichai would know the truth of their relationship but it’s an easy story to write now and will tarnish him for some though it really shouldn’t. Wealthy men collect beautiful things .......it doesn’t necessarily mean they are doing anything they ‘shouldn’t’ (by western standards). But few in the general public would believe that. and we certainly shouldn’t judge him either. hopefully the public mood is set in appreciating the man for what he did for football, for us and the wider community - that’s his legacy. maybe be the sky reporter knew what she was doing by running that camera. ....... I doubt it but roan takes the flack for being a knob, discussing it where he did - completely inappropriate and insensitive. would like to think that we hear nothing more on this but I’m a realist ................ a very sad and miserable one at the moment ........
Yes N'Didi Posted 30 October 2018 Posted 30 October 2018 BBC have already set their stall out - they couldn’t care less. As far as they’re concerned he’s said sorry and that’s it. I think everyone is missing the point - it didn’t matter that it was off air - what matters is that it was said and where it was said. A BBC spokesperson said: “This was an ill judged comment made in a private off air conversation for which Dan has apologised.”
FoxNotFox Posted 30 October 2018 Posted 30 October 2018 2 minutes ago, Yes N'Didi said: I think everyone is missing the point - it didn’t matter that it was off air - what matters is that it was said and where it was said. My thoughts exactly. As they might say in a court of law, it goes to character. Under the circumstances, it was a despicable thing to say full stop. The man hasn't an ounce of compassion in his body to be able to come out with something like that at a time like that. Just what does it say about the man? Sickening. I reckon had I been the "colleague" to whom he was speaking, I may well have 'had a word' with him afterwards.

Think its more that it reveals journalists coldly reporting on something for the benefit of their media outlet and not feeling any compulsion to empathise with the situation. People call them vultures for a reason. I'm sure its possible to do your job and to feel the level of respect necessary. Weird that that eerie silence there didnt seem to effect him as a man. 1
Robin JD Popley Posted 30 October 2018 Posted 30 October 2018 Was he moronic for saying what he did? Absolutely. Should the BBC do something about it, internally? That's their call. What we need to do is rally round together, grieve together, be there for one another and remember in all of this we have a football club we all call ours and we are a family. Don't let's let someone who makes ill judged remarks ad hoc detract from what really matters. 2
Lionator Posted 30 October 2018 Posted 30 October 2018 Infuriating, would they imply that the other member of his staff (the male) was his mistress too? The media get away with so much vile stuff. 2
Guest Col city fan Posted 30 October 2018 Posted 30 October 2018 (edited) Daft sod Don’t be bothered by him. If he wants to make himself look a ****, let him Dont let this nonsense detract from the amazing response to the death of an amazing man. Daggers talks about ‘doing something positive’. Well, Vichai embodied positivity. He’s worth a thousand Dan Roans.. Edited 30 October 2018 by Col city fan
ST20 Posted 30 October 2018 Posted 30 October 2018 BBC have a history of covering up for their employees
foxinsocks Posted 30 October 2018 Posted 30 October 2018 (edited) What sort of person stands around with his colleague making jokes and jibes about the victim of such a shocking accident? If roan had been injured leaving a game vichia would have been the first to wish him well. What sort of person... and how does his employer react? Sure he is sorry it got recorded.. why not say he is appalled by his own acts and will work hard to become a better person. That is the only good that can come from this.

TheUltimateWinner Posted 30 October 2018 Posted 30 October 2018 (edited) This shouldn't overshadow what the family is going through right now, they're already in distress and this story is certainly not going to help. This is the opposite of what I wanted to happen, the national press being made aware of the remarks. To be honest with you, I don't think this needs further discussion and was pleased when the original thread was locked. If it's offended you, complain to ofcom and the BBC. This doesn't need sharing anymore. Edited 30 October 2018 by TheUltimateWinner
RonnieTodger Posted 30 October 2018 Posted 30 October 2018 Dan Roan is a bell end but the Daily Mail trying to take moral high ground after calling them "Fireball Family" is pathetic. I hate all these stories that branch out from a disaster. 1 1
foxy boxing Posted 30 October 2018 Posted 30 October 2018 He should have showed more class and not be like the gutter press just looking for a sensationalist or salacious story
Raw Dykes Posted 30 October 2018 Posted 30 October 2018 It's certainly not a nice thing to do at someone's memorial, but I worry about people underestimating the power of social media to completely destroy someone. There are obvious benefits, but making witchhunts commonplace is absolutely not one of them. It's pretty terrifying, really. I say, don't let this unpleasant non-story take up any of your mind's time or space. There are more important things. 1
StanSP Posted 30 October 2018 Posted 30 October 2018 Just like to say that you can have the utmost respect for Vichai, be positive and mourn in your own way, and also be angered and annoyed by Roan and his comments. It doesn't have to be either/or. 1

The guy makes a living with his voice and the media He should know better, what ever repercussions he has created. Pathetic attempt at a cheap laugh in a wholly inappropriate place.
Dorchester Fox Posted 30 October 2018 Posted 30 October 2018 I think his comments are shocking.. for all of the reasons mentioned: The repugnance extends when you consider the racist overtones of his sentiment. If the BBC aren’t interested in cautioning Roan for his awful insensitivity, they really ought to investigate his latent racism. Simply has no place..

dylanlegend Posted 30 October 2018 Posted 30 October 2018 Is he completely stupid or what? Making comments like that in a public place. Even if the Mic hadn’t picked it up what if a fan that was there to pay respects heard it? He he just shouldn’t have said it, end of. Trying to be funny, shows what a pr*ck he is.
