There might be something in this!Maybe Tyler should just never talk again to prevent any more stuff like this

I looked at the quote:
He said the game was "in a bit of a crisis at that time", adding: "We weren't that long after Hillsborough and other hooligan-related issues as well, so it was a very much a difficult time for the game generally."
I think this could be easily explained away as two separate issues. Hillsborough being one and hooligan issues being the other.
As he’s clarified he meant it as I read it, and apologised if any confusion / hurt was caused then that should be the end of it.
But of course it won’t be….
He should just say "I meant Heysel not Hillsborough"he elides Hillsborough into the category of hooliganism.
It doesn't matter what you think happened at Hillsborough, it has never been considered to be caused by hooliganism.
Hopefully, the apologies from Tyler and the BBC will end the matter.
But it shows you just what egg-shell times we live in.
You know how much I love the PL DanI'm sure Eddie Yates, being the sweetness and light about the Premier League that he is, will be along any moment now to defend Martin Tyler, and will not be labelling him a soft old bastard who should have been pensioned off years ago.
He co-owns a football team over there. Rochester something. Sure that would get him a pass.That is a really good point, he does, doesn’t he?
And the Americans are quite sticklers for that sort of thing, in denying Visas. Unless there is some status he could claim as a priority because he is a prominent footballer or something?

Zinchenko and Jesus making all the difference so far. Quality players who come from a winning team.Arsenal are looking very sharp
Whole league is tough. Wish we got promoted last yearZinchenko and Jesus making all the difference so far. Quality players who come from a winning team.
I think this is going to be a good season for Arsenal. Jesus in particular is on fire with quick footwork and movement. His work rate is unbelievable at the mo.
Haha. It's definitely a lot stronger. I'd have fancied us to beat Arsenal home and away last season.Whole league is tough. Wish we got promoted last year
