West Ham fans on Twitter have been blasting talkSPORT over a late refusal to allow the chairman of Hammers United to speak live on radio, due to the fact that he has a Football Banning Order.
Paul Colborne, as most of you will know as corner flag man, was scheduled to speak to the radio station during Hawksbee & Jacobs last Tuesday, before they later retracted their invite on what the Football Supporters’ Association have claimed was unjust grounds.
Today, @talkSPORT asked @HammersUnited2 to come on & talk about recent protest & the groups aims
This article on @kumbdotcom – which I urge you to read – details the extraordinary & bizarre saga that followed. It’s all very fishy

Incredible that Talk Sport allegedly won’t speak to the Chair of @HammersUnited2 because he is on a banning order (for a non violent offence).
FBOs do not have conditions to say holders can’t speak to the media, so since when did Talk Sport become so sanctimoniously censorious? https://t.co/c2X5ZKPcoW

Supporters did not hold back in taking aim at the media outlet, who also came in the firing line last week over Ian Abrahams’ interview with David Gold and guess who they put on to speak about Hammers United instead of Colbourne.
Cowards all of em

Best to just boycott them. Moose is no more than a puppet for the board, too scared to lose his free food and photo opportunities to say anything remotely provocative about the club.

I was sat waiting and wondered what happened. Rediculous and biased media coverage.

I don’t even listen to them now. Awful station.

One of their questions to Moose was do the owners interact with fan groups 🤣 couldn’t make it up as they are censoring our fans from going on their show . Scandalous 😡⚒
