NO HE'S NOT!!

[silent majority]

Sorry for having an opinion 'BobG'.

hero definition; a person, typically a man, who is admired for their courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.

Showed courage to carry the show on in Argentina when the Top Gear team was attacked and in terms of achievements look at Top Gears viewing figures.

Jeremy Clarkson, a true hero.

Courage in Argentina? he crapped himself.

[southwestexile]

I'd rather watch a programme about cars than old farts w**king off over 500hp plastic pigs. Clarkson's had his day and has nothing much left to offer other than self driven publicity stunts like his latest one, he's just Katie Hopkins but better looking

[LincsRover]

My best mate fought at goose green - what would I give for our dear friend Jeremy to have been there facing a few really pissed off "argies". I'm sure his heroism would have been exemplary!! 

[graingrover]

The German's and French are cloning the series but can't find anyone heroic enough to lead the other two little boys who will have to be very very brave .

......And warriors, both of course.....

[BobG]

So the consensus, Mr Move, is that Jeremy is not now and never has been, a hero.

I've worked on lots of TV programmes and not remotely ever have I come across anyone as self righteous and self promoting and plain self centred as what Clarkson is.

A hero?! A hard days filming (you should see how pandered the "stars" are when filming) and he has a hissy fit over not having a slab of hot cow over the very good food he was offered. And then gets a handbag out and knocks around someone smaller than him who can't react or he knows he'll never work again. The worst of it, and confirmatory dick not hero action, is not acknowledging he screwed up and was a dick. The same people who rate him appear to rate Thatcher too - interesting that.

Of course Jeremy is a hero. He is Doncaster's finest son.

Why is he a hero? It takes a lot of guts these days to stand up against the politically correct lobby. How many people out there who are big stars are not politically correct? There's not many.

Jeremy should be knighted for his bravery.

I've yet to find any evidence where he has slagged off Doncaster. None is ever produced. If you ask me, it is all leftie hearsay.

I bet anything he has said about Doncaster is either true or tongue in cheek.

What about that Robin Reliant sketch he did on Top Gear? That was hilarious and he did not slag off South Yorkshire.

I think it all boils down to whether you've got a sense of humour or not. Those that don't like Jeremy need to get a grip and lighten up for a change.

I am finding this thread totally, totally bemusing!

I have looked in on Top Gear a few times over the years to try and understand the cult hero worship of the programme and its presenters.  I still don't get it.

I'm not at all interested in cars so understand why the programme leaves me cold but Clarkson? Every time he opens his mouth I cringe. To me he is one of the most self obsessed, ignorant, loutish men on the planet.  Funny? Not in the slightest.

[IC1967]

Watch the Robin Reliant video. If you do not find it amusing, then I'm afraid the only conclusion that can be arrived at is that you don't have a sense of humour.

I think ben parkinson may have the slight edge over him in the bravery stakes

[Glyn_Wigley]

Clarkson's not a hero, he's a thug. Unless you think thugs are worthy of hero-worship, of course...

Fair comment.

I have actually got a great sense of humour. Perhaps Clarkson appeals more to you fellas.  Though clearly not all!

[RobTheRover]

Crikey, all the sock puppets are out in force on this thread!

Clearly its time for bed.  Night night, all.

I rewatched this recently after being under the belief for the last 15 years (or whatever) that he totally screwed us over. With hindsight there is self-depreciation there from the Rovers fans and Ryan (and 'Jezza' himself to some extent), but it's nowhere near as bad as I remember.

It's a testimony to how far we've come that they couldn't make a programme like that today, no-one would get it as our public perception has beer raised.

Also was that a young Howard Webb reffing?

[keyser_soze]

Just noticed the cheeky punch from Snods (5:35) with his back to the ref on their player, good old Ian...

So that's why people hate Jeremy and think he slags off Doncaster. Unbelievable. There is nothing in that video to be offended at. It was merely a bit of satire and was very funny.

I'm seriously beginning to wonder what is wrong with the Jeremy haters on this forum. They obviously have a very thin skin and no sense of humour whatsoever.

[bobjimwilly]

Did you think people we're serious about slagging off Clarkson Mick? It's you that has no sense of humour. You see, when people on here slag him off, call him names, call him a bully, say he's like Katie Hopkins and refer to him as a dinasaur, it's all satire! They are joking! You know, like he does.

[Bentley Bullet]

The worrying thing is that it's not only Jeremy Clarkson they hate, it's also the people who have the audacity to like him!

Their treatment of fellow Doncastrians in this respect is precisely one of their reasons for detesting Clarkson!

[Rios]

From memory they didn't appear very heroic in that episode hiding in a hotel room like frightened children...

[Move DRFC]

Hahahaaha Clarkson a thug i can't speyk Raoul Moat is a thug not pissing Jeremy Clarkson

[Move DRFC]

Or should i say Moat was a thug. Forgot he deed.

Don't think I didn't miss that cheeky Stewart Lee homage there!

You know why don't you? It's because he is much funnier than most of them.

Look. It's very simple. Jeremy haters don't have a sense of humour. They are over touchy and take themselves far too seriously. They are people to be avoided at all costs on any social do. They are boring.

Sorted.

[southwestexile]

Actually think that most people think he's a t**t but couldn't care less either, surely you're familiar with that Mr Itchy Colon?
