Talk:Alan Green (broadcaster)

message: Too many people are deleting facts about him. There is no real evidence to prove he supports one team or another but he has made documented racist comments and regularly makes ruthlessly negative comments about players, managers and referees in his commentaries. There are hundreds of players and dozens of referees and managers that he has attacked or rubbished with insulting comments that he would never dare repeat face-to-face. People removing these comments should take the time to listen to him for an hour and they will realise that most of the negativity about him is justified.
It is a cultivated image and something Green does not hide so there seems no real need for Wikipedia to discuss neutrality.
Green wants to be controversial and is willing to say anything to be so. 
Anyone who's ever listened to him knows that he is a Liverpool fan! That's like saying where's the evidence that Michael Jackson is black. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.46.157.9 (talk) 22:13, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Exidence? 

message: I've edited the line "The subjects of Green's criticisms have famously included ... also Manchester United, who he hates", as this sounds awfully opinionated.Frediculous biggs (talk) 22:43, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Opinions 

message: Is any of that actually true? Aside from the nonsense about how his commentary is brilliant, he is NOT the guy who has been commentating on the rowing for the BBC, unless over the summer his voice has changed. Worthy for deletion I think, so I will do just that.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Safcf189 (talk • contribs) 11:39, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rowing section 

message: Please read Wikipedia policy on biographies.  If he is known for his pronunciation then please add some cites from reliable sources that demonstrate this.   Otherwise it would it appear that the addition is original research and personal opinion.  We can then consider if this is notable enough to be in the lead of his biography. (Which I doubt.) Thanks --Escape Orbit (Talk) 15:46, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  If you are referring to the way he says penalty area, then yes I agree it is pretty weird. Ask any British football fan. He's just about the most well known presenter there is!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by PointOfPresence (talk • contribs) 20:19, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pronunciation 

message: Do we need these to be two separate sections, as they seem to be basically any controversy surrounding him rather than being clearly defined 'disputes' and 'complaints'. Could we not just put it all under 'controversy' or something like that? AlexR4444 (talk) 10:55, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Controversial information on Biographies of living persons must be cited from reliable sources.  Forums are not reliable sources.  "I heard it on TV" is not a reliable source.  I don't know how this can be made any clearer for you. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 13:05, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

text: Please follow Wikipedia policy and cite from a reliable source. Anything else is arguing over irrelevant detail. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 23:38, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disputes/complaints 

message: We are well into the new season and I yet to hear Alan Greens superb commentary.
There are football commentators and then there is Alan Green, without doubt the best radio commentator around.
SO WHERE IS HE???  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.134.255.19 (talk) 21:48, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
