The Rodney Marsh Sacking For A Joke Way Too HarshRodney Marsh was sacked by
Sky for making a joke. Marsh's joke was in reply to a question from a caller on You're On Sky Sports live football phone-in programme. Some of the other stuff written about Marshie's sacking have been ridiculous.
It is in the press - tele, newspapers, radio, internet, it is all over. Everyone has said their piece. This is the best clip in my opinion. Phillip Cornwall from
football 365 wrote with sense, balance and reason and he never liked Rodney Marsh in the first place really.

He should have previously lost his job for approving remarks about Stan Collymore's violent predilections towards women or for a joke about Gerard Houllier's heart problems.
Jimmy Hill should have been axed for the incredible ignorance he displayed when defending racist Big Ron.
Instead, Marsh has been axed for a joke about David Beckham.
Marsh's line - probably in an inbox near you if not your own - was that the England captain would never join Newcastle because of the terrible damage the 'Toon Army' had done in Asia.
QPR Blog Comment :: Rodney Marsh is on Sky Sports because he shoots from the lip. Rod made a joke, simple as that. Rodney is due to be chief announcer at a Raise Money For The Asian Tsunami Victims next week I believe. That says it all. The sacking was way too harsh.
