Miss this guy commentating so much. Awesome man. Big Ron. Loved his spitting image puppet too....looked like the english version of Mr T with all the gold.
5:00 "This fella Warnock is a nutcase....& I mean that in the nicest possible way" Priceless. The Dug-Out gag was great too. Footy misses Ron more than it'll ever know. Thanks for uploading these great vids mate :-)
As a young united lad, this guy was so loveable, I adored him. Gutted when he got booted, and thought this Ferguson isnt half as good as big Ron...Well, time taught me otherwise, but I still adore this man. Legend!!!
Great football character Big Ron. I really missed him commentating on I T V matches and some of his funny gaffes. Yes it was a thoughtless comment on Desailly but he is no racist.
I grew up during the Silver Age of Football (1986 to 2006) and my goodness me what an entertaining time. Always loved Big Ron, I'm sure there are plenty guilty of far worse that are still gainfully employed, sadly.
So I was commenting on this Chelsea game, when all of a sudden, Marcel Desaiily, great fella, makes a mistake. So I turn to the lads in the studio, great bunch of lads, and I say..."
Big Ron! I'm too young to remember him as a manager but I remember him as a pundit, enjoyed his insight. Its a shame the way he had to go especially as he did so much for the promotion of black footballers in England.
It was his job. Don’t give him no rights to start using racial terms. I liked his punditry also, but he showed his true colors in the end. I’m sure the black players he brought through was shocked at it aswell.
@@leonleon2276 You act like he murdered someone, I can guarantee you every single one of us is guilty of doing wrong things in life, he was sorry for what he said and what people say in a moment of anger doesn't say anything about their thoughts on race, have you ever been angry at someone and called them something to do with their looks like overweight or short of ginger or whatever it is, it doesn't reflect your general character does it?
@@Dante-vf4sd yes I have done it. Difference is I’m not a celebrity, I’m not no face of anything, no public figure , and I wasn’t live on tv. Right or wrong harsh or not, it’s a sackable offence in most jobs if not all. It’s all about keeping face and the company distancing themselves from anything wrong like being racist.
@@leonleon2276 Then you are the lucky one because we are all human and all make mistakes regardless of our jobs. It shouldn't be a stackable offense unless it's substantiated with other incidents because institutions, companies should reflect common sense and forgiveness that is necessary for all of us to get through our trials, they should not be kissing the ring finger of this diabolical vindictive and hypocritical agenda that runs all public life in modern Britain.
Absolute legend and was done up like a kipper in the same manner of Richard Keys and Andy Gray. Big Ron was of a different time, listen to old sports forums with legends such as Brian Clough and you'll realise what people say off the radar is vastly different when they're live. Yep, even now where people are holier than though (yeah right). Sadly, the game of football now has become soul less, yep, partly cause of money because players now can do what they want. They earn so much money they can be unsociable bastards with their head phones on but it's soul less also because of too much exposure. It was a great balance in the early days of Sky because we had a top game on Sunday and a team involving lesser teams on Monday. Pepper in the odd Football Special during the week. Ridiculous these days with the amount of football on - too much exposure, too regimented, too over analysed and everyone's afraid to make a mistake.
Was gutted when his career basically ended after being caught with what he said. It's a shame he never came back to the game and as a society how unforgiving we really are. Sad, because this guy had bags of character - something massively lacking now of course.
I think you'll find it doesn't reflect society as much as it reflects the media and corporations bowing the knee(figuratively and literally) to the overwhelming gods of political correctness and the very zealous priests of the left. They preach a gospel of acceptance and a false type of righteousness when in fact it is full of hate and un-forgiveness as you mentioned.
Yes it’s terrible the comments he made and correct to sack him, however everyone quick to forgive Carragher for spit in a little girls face....... Seems like double standards.
So anyway, long story short, I said to him, lovely fella by the way, and remember this is before mobile phones and all that stuff, I said, “Jim…”, ‘cus that’s what I used to call him, I said, you can’t stand there and tell me that we didn’t give 110%, and I’ve got to tell you, I was there in my tracksuit top and a pair of shorts, you know, standard kit, and remember this is in the days when managers typically wore suits… anyway, there we were, and Im telling you, he’s only gone and raised his fist, and you should have seen me, I was ready to, you know, have a go back, but anyway, there we were and it was lucky because funnily enough we were interrupted by a whole crowd of Villa fans walking towards the dugout, you know, directly towards us, and I’m thinking, you know, excuse my French, we’re looking at a, you know, a situation let’s say, and remember this is in the days before anyone came anywhere near the dugout, and I have to tell you…
Brash brazen out spoken he had a charismatic type of aura...but he like Gordon brown committed sin as in they left their after public moments microphone on and both caused hurt to their public and people and familys and both lost credibility so Forgiveness 🙏 🙏 is also a human trait but Trust is well another
Old Schooler by today's standard. For people who grew up with football in the 70s, 80s and early 90s, this will bring a smile to your face.
One of the best managers I've ever seen would of done a great job as England manager
You must be joking it would have been a circus with him as the ringmaster.
Miss this guy commentating so much. Awesome man. Big Ron. Loved his spitting image puppet too....looked like the english version of Mr T with all the gold.
Football on tv needs BIG RON back on it
Atkinson is a legend of the game, brown suit , glasses and a fiery temper.

Love listening to Big Ron

It sucks that the era of raconteur football managers is well and truly over.
Mr Atkinson at Villa was tremendous!
Great football character Big Ron. I really missed him commentating on I T V matches and some of his funny gaffes. Yes it was a thoughtless comment on Desailly but he is no racist.

Big hearted player, you know, heart as big as..you know, big.... (Big Ron, Comb Over, 2004)
So I was commenting on this Chelsea game, when all of a sudden, Marcel Desaiily, great fella, makes a mistake. So I turn to the lads in the studio, great bunch of lads, and I say..."
hahahahaha
Jimmy Mast he made a mistake and has paid for it and then some but the guy is definitely not a racist
LOL! Can imagine him doing this.
yeah i know what you mean. But the way he said it, f-ing stupid nword...is aggressive, there's no excuse.
sharkie12354 just a joke ffs

@@Dante-vf4sd I don’t think you understand pal. Bye
Loving this!
Went to school with his daughter when he was Cambridge Uniteds manager. Had a crush on her!!
Big ron football legend
I’m a black man grew up with Ron what a funny bloke
Can’t say “dug our” because Mr Ellis gets very paranoid about it.”
Brilliant 😂😂
6:25 Can't say "dugout" cos the chairman, MR Ellis, gets very paranoid about it"
legend
Big Ron's style always reminds me of some Evangelical preacher from the States.
Very much so?
Love Ron ❤️, Legend.
Aston Villa manager 91-95
Great guy Big Ron. & he was always SMART. A true Snappy dresser.REESPECT.
The recipient gives the power for a word to offend. We are all equal.

@Mark Morrissey Nothing worse than hypocrisy, those accusing are usually the biggest.
Needless to say, I had the last laugh

Bang on.

this guy imo is a true G!!!!!
Ron manager.
Yes it’s terrible the comments he made and correct to sack him, however everyone quick to forgive Carragher for spit in a little girls face....... Seems like double standards.
What a bloody Jessie to spit anyway. Infantile.
Ron was great and ground breaking introducing young black players into the game……racist no…..old fashioned and heart on sleeve yes
Ron Manager.
Great period of Villa history...
Big Ron
sat in the wrong dugout in his first match at Forest. A sign!
The big man saved his most famous till the end. You can take on the N bomb and live, you're the best.
CS Gas at Liverpool. Those charming Scousers.

Oh Dear.. Big Ron.
Neil Warnock " ... he's got this habit of antagonising people...."
Not at all like you then, Ron?
Wawaw.....
Don't put this bloke on Jackanory.
Brash brazen out spoken he had a charismatic type of aura...but he like Gordon brown committed sin as in they left their after public moments microphone on and both caused hurt to their public and people and familys and both lost credibility so Forgiveness 🙏 🙏 is also a human trait but Trust is well another
Warnock story was boring
This prat has destroyed more teams than anyone..evil prat
You might want to look at his career more closely.
Big “racist” Ron.
No just plain speaking son
It takes him so long to talk about nothing really lol.

Who gives the power for racist comments to offended.......the recipient.
and the power to get you sacked.
anecdotes ? you're absolutely boring......not funny at all
In English anecdote is not “jokes or funny stories”. Anecdotes are stories told by someone
