Ferguson forced to apologise for malaria comment

[Ombudsam]

For once and i mean for once I have some sympathy with him.

 

I can't find it online but i think it was in The Times.

[Vlad JNR]

What was it?

[Armin_Tamzarian]

I also sympathise for once. What a nothing story about a nothing remark.Is no-one ever allowed to say anything whatsoever without incurring the wrath of some interest group and being forced to don sackcloth and ashes.

 

I hope that anti malaria group get malaria.

He said that the only thing that was going to stop chelsea was malaria sweeping through their camp in an off the cuff remark

[Stevie H]

ridiculous.

[CarraLegend]

Some people, what should he apologise for? Its like them sad f*****s who hear the word "a***" on TV before the 9pm thing and all write to the BBC and complain. f***ing pathetic.

[Tones]

Has he apologised. I know the Malaria Foundation said he should, but didnt think he had. Would loose respect for him if he apologised for that, although i dont actually have any respect for him anyway.

you heartless b*****d.

[Hassony]

maybe he should have said aids instead

[Murillo]

the malaria foundation are only using this to get some attention, I think. And they need it, so I dont see the problem. The story will be more drawn-out if he doesnt apologise, so he shouldnt.

Well it was tactless and tasteless in my opinion. What if during ManUre's heyday in the 90's somebody said the only way to stop ManUre was if all their players were to die in a plane crash? There would be outrage, and rightly so.

Malaria is a deadly disease, a terrible affliction to anyone unfortunate enough to be struck down by it and the stupid, senile drunk jock should have thought twice before 'jokingly' wishing it on anyone.

The AIDS comment is a good one. The reaction would have been different if he'd commented on Chelsea getting that or cancer.

I remember hearing that but I don't remember being outraged.

what if he'd said pneumonia?

The Chelsea Pensioners are famous followers of Mourinho's team, pensioners die every year from pneumonia so Ferguson would have to apologise for his lack of sensitivity, the cn*t.

[Guest Anders Honoré]

well, he could have put it better:

 

“You never know, malaria might hit the camp! We’ve got to hope something like that happens.”

[matty]

What if he's said Necrotising Fasciitis?

[Nerik]

I think the reaction happened because he referred to Malaria when it is a disease that kills many in Africa and Chelsea have the likes of Essien, Drogba and Geremi going to Africa for the nations cup. A stupid comment to make if you ask me.

[Guest Anders Honoré]

only if you're a complete doofushead. He should carry around a box of emoticons with him

more thinking of the 'we've got to hope something like that happens' line. Kinda funny but still - he does sound like he wishes actual misfortune on the chelsea squad rather than just wanting them to play poorly.

I hope they do get Malaria, how ironic would that be?
