What on earth...

[davidarthur]

Is this rubbish on at the moment? Some presumably black guy who is claiming racism for everything - what a load of old crap. Chairmen appoint managers based on ability and not colour and people like him spouting bollocks does not help the situation. Trying to claim that he can't get a job based on his race is complete and utter tripe.

Playing career[edit]

Mortimer played mainly in midfield, though he did play in defence at times. He started his career at Fulham,[1] before signing for non-league side Farnborough Town in 1986. A year later, he joined First Division side Charlton Athletic. He became a regular first teamer with the Addicks, but after they were relegated in 1990 he moved onto Aston Villa the following year. After failing to establish himself at Villa Park under Ron Atkinson, Mortimer returned to South London with Crystal Palace.

A number of injury problems, mainly hamstring, meant he did not play many games for Crystal Palace. After less than three years he was transferred back to Charlton Athletic, alongside David Whyte in exchange for Darren Pitcher. Under the management of former team-mate Alan Curbishley, Mortimer often played exceptionally well in the autumnal sun but then suffer hamstring and back injuries. At the start of the successful promotion winning 1997-98 season, against Bradford City he scored a spectacular goal where he turned his full back inside out before an exquisite shot to the bottom right of the goal. In this game Charlton won 4-1, and it was a performance full of verve and vigour that hailed of things to come that season. After helping the club into the Premier League in 1998, he again played in the country's top-flight missing a crucial penalty against Leeds United towards the end of the season. He left the following year, moving to lower league side Bristol City where he ended his career in 2001.

Coaching career[edit]
After his playing career, Mortimer held coaching roles with Wimbledon, Arsenal, Torquay United and Brentford, the latter two appointments being as first team coach under Leroy Rosenior, with whom he played at Fulham and Bristol City.[1][2] He served as coach of the Sierra Leone national team for two matches in 2007, again under Rosenior.[3] Later in 2007, Mortimer returned to Charlton Athletic to coach the club's women's team.

Activism[edit]
Mortimer became active in Show Racism the Red Card, a UK anti-racism educational charity, near the end of his playing career and since 2009 has been working for the campaign in schools in the South East and East of England as a coach and education worker. He entered the campaign's Hall of Fame in September 2011.

Jason Roberts?

Have you heard him recently? Fucking hell. He was doing 606 with Darren Fletcher (not that one) and he was so tetchy and angry at every little thing that at one point Fletcher, instead of responding to his latest clumsy rant, just sighed. Deeply. Paused. And moved on to a caller. Fletcher is NICEST GUY IN WORLD so that was a big deal. What an obnoxious contrary little dick Roberts has become. Matt Holland is next.

I read this article a couple of days ago, which reinforced my opinion that he's an arsehole

He now rants at every opportunity for any reason, including no reason. It has become his 'thing'. Very hard to take him seriously. When the BBC get sick to death of him, have no doubt that TS will call. Can't wait for that, even Durham's got more charisma than this one.

How many managerial posts has Jason applied for?

[m4rkb]

It doesn't do their cause much good when John Barnes is the head teacher in classes on how to be a good manager.

Sport is truly truly meritocratic jobs market. you can come from anywhere, be any colour, any religion, have five heads with pink spots. Nothing will hold you back if you're any good.

Roberts should shut the fuck up as he is in the 'not up to the job' category.

Jason is just so fucking boring. That's his biggest crime for me. I feel my life ebbing slowly away whenever he speaks. He's kidding himself if he thinks he would be a media 'personality' if he (a) didn't have a half-decent agent,(b) played the game at the highest(ish) level, and (c) represented an ethnicity the BBC are keen to promote. And that's all fine and dandy and good luck to him, but he really is a very dull man.

Only when listening to him do i feel truly alive.

Who on earth would possibly employ such a surly, charmless individual? I think I'm on for an assist here...

Oh this could hit the post here, Rainbow-o.
A certain saaarf Lahdahn based sports station already has their ethnic quota filled.
And this aint the BBC, they had to overcome mutiny from the staff Koven and be dragged reluctantly into ticking that box.
Granted, their quotee is frequently absent and courts a certain off air notoriety and is presumably under a court order not to come with in 50 yards of a internet compatible device, so chance of a rebound maybe?

I was hoping for a LOVVEly Goal. my self-pity won't get it over the line though will it, and I just remembered Dion Dublin which is never good, on with Matt Holland a few weeks back, which is even worse. Tripped over my own bootlaces in the end then but at least I tried.
