He called NSC users window lickers for having a poll about whether Adams should be manager.
He's bloody right though isn't he!!!!

What makes me laugh about this thread is that there are at least a couple of people slating Harty for his comments, who post on another message board associated with BHAFC and openly abuse the mentally disabled, blacks, gays etc. Then they come on here trying to claim so kind of moral high ground by picking up on what someone else said. Yes, it was the wrong thing to say on air but its not that big a deal! This board is absolutely full of depressing, hypocritical morons who in no way reflect the true sentiments of the average albion fan. You are never happy unless you are on someones back! If its not Mickey, its Harty. If its not Harty, its Dick Tight. If its not Dick Tight, its banana boots. If its not banana boots, its H-block. If its not H-block, its Dave the Gaffer. If its not Dave the Gaffer, its the credit crunch. If its not the credit crunch its the atmosphere. If its not the atmosphere its ticket prices. Its absolutely ridiculous. I hope you all f*ck off and go an support Crawley!

but you work in RADIO rentals!!!!!!!!!I work in radio, and if I said something like that on air I'd EXPECT to be sacked.
The difference being that they don't broadcast it on a BBC radio station, who can be punished by ofcom as a result.
Get Mark Brailsford (at least on radio you can't see that he's naked).
Trouble is, Harty's first and foremost an Albion fan wearing his heart on his sleeve, and he's been thrust (or thrust himself, doesn't matter which) into the world of BBC rules and regulations which demand he never knowingly causing offence to any of God's manifold creatures. On the whole I reckon he does pretty OK, albeit the Alf Garnett tendencies are becoming reportedly more frequent. But, hand on heart, could any one of us honestly get through a whole phone-in without offending anyone at all? Personally I'd be launching into my 'Glen Murray = Lazy Fucker' spiel about three minutes into the show. Luckily I've got a good voice for The Sign Channel.
If it wasn't for Ian Hart there wouldn't be a club now , some people forget this or they simply jumped on the bandwagon years later so wouldn't know.
If it wasn't for Ian Hart and Gulls Eye the club would be dead.

He said something along the lines of...
"Go and lick windows"
This was aimed at the "Adams-Out" faction of NSC
Harty is a passionate bloke. He went over the top on this one it would appear. I am a big Harty fan but I have noticed a tendency if not a definate trend in that he does slag off NSC a lot on his show and deride the site and its contributors a lot which seems a bit hypocritical.
but that still isnt quoting, its an assumption. I want to make comment on the actual quote and context

It's not an assumption as such because I was actually listening when it happened.
However I conceed I can't remember the EXACT turn-of-phrase that Harty used. But I'm sure it was very much how I put it.
Also it was actually Hawesy who used the term "window-licker" in it's proper form a few seconds after Harty made the intial remark.
