Agreed.

I really like Roy (this has become more apparent in the last few weeks - can’t think why )

He has always seemed a decent guy.

Well done Roy, fully deserved.

Sue Barker and Raheem Sterling are awarded a CBE and MBE resepectively.

Congrats Roy, well deserved

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

I hope Roy realises these antiquated ‘awards’ indirectly represent the wape and pillage of the Bwitish Empire overseas. Disgwaceful. Next you’ll be telling me Raheem Sterling’s accepted one.

Geoff Thomas was awarded his honour presumably for this miss which amused and continues to amuse the nation.

He should have been awarded it immediately after this interview to be fair

Sterling has been awarded an MBE for fronting anti-racism and anti-discrimination campaigns and speaking out strongly against racism on and off the pitch for several years. All very creditable but I question the validity of the award based on the narrow confines of the agenda. The vast majority of Stirling's campaigning has been on behalf of black footballers being disrespected. Why has he not spent more time on other areas of discrimination as he has such a public voice?

1) The complete lack of opportunity for Asian footballers in this country, at all levels.
2) The complete lack of opportunity for Asian coaches and managers in this country, at all levels.
3) The discrimination and anti-semitism shown to Jewish coaches and managers in this country.
4) The under-representation of Black coaches and managers in this country, at all levels
5) The under representation of Black and Asian referees and officials in this country, at all levels.

.....and plenty, plenty more....all being ignored because they are not on the agenda.

The confines of his agenda relate to what he does, what is wrong with that ?

Well done, Roy. Although having managed to give three years to Crystal Palace I would suggest a knighthood would have been more fitting.

Whilst not putting down the awards, nor those who receive any awards, I wonder why other, less known people, don't get them?

What a very strange post. Do you really believe the only people who get them are the ones they mention on the news?

probably more for the millions he's raised for cancer charities but that was indeed a very memorable moment ... I remember watching that in a packed pub (The Fenton in Leeds) and everyone doing the same thing
