DA9

Large contingent of Charlton fans last night, and he starts the night off with a rousing rendition of

"We want Roland out" and ends with "Red Army"

Superb night

Didn't know he was playing down there.

Nice little theatre the Orchard. Had a cracking night down there years ago watching him. He stitched @Swerve right up lol

DA9

He came in the stage door pub after for a drink with Gary Bushell, few of us jumped in for a photo with him, couple of our soccer am lads were there.

Nearly had a laughter induced asthma attack with some of his stories about his drunk Glaswegian dad back in the day, really relatable as most of the pubs he mentions, we've all been in.

Ah yeah, I got murdered, it was alright though only all my family and half the Covered End were there!

Saw him at the Orchard a couple of years ago and he did a lot of Charlton stuff then.

AFKABartram

Was a classic mate, must have been 15 years ago but remember it like yesterday. Was it part of Johnny Robinson's testimonial?

Not seen you for a while, hope you are good mate.

Swerve

All good mate, hopefully likewise. That was a good night, definitely Charlton related so you're more than likely right

Is it O/K to admit liking Jim now? I thought he was a social outcast, because of jokes he told forty years ago.

He's changed his tune then.

Typical PC leftie CARD supporter. Not a real fan.

I never said it "aint allowed" - I said he's changed his tune with regards the ownership of the club, which it appears he has.

Is he coming to ST?

Saw him at Southend last week.
Afterwards came over and said" come on, who hit the Eagle then?"

I met him at Wolves last time we played there and he certainly had a low opinion of them then.

He was there that night - had a good chat with him. He even recognised me from the old days when we used to get pissed together in the Antigallican!!

No, I was a Woolwich Poly boy.

I was very good mates (still am) with Richie who used to run the Anti in the late 70's/early 80's - Jim was a mate of his and he used to drink there occasionally.

No.

Surely it is ok to like him and ok not to like him.

Shape up and get with the programme MuttleyCAFC.

I think he is a good presenter - a potentially great one - but has a chip on his shoulder about the world changing when that's what it does. Comedy changes and whilst he will always have an audience, he could have made a lot more money for himself by adapting. I went to see him in November 2015 - my wife bought me tickets for my birthday thinking I would like it as he was a Charlton fan. I must admit I was looking forward to a few dirty jokes and I have nothing at all against him, but I thought his act was shy of jokes, he was taliking to a group of little Englanders all with chips on their shoulders, which wasn't me. It felt like the comedy equivalent of Into the Valley!

He always seems to me to be stuck in a time warp - the world has moved on. He still has an audience but his appeal seems increasingly limited.

soapy_jones

He should get unfunny quick, change his sexual orientation, hey no! Have the BBC got a decent transgender comedian yet? Hold on his old man is Scottish ain't he? Shame he wasn't of Indian heritage as well he could be a shoe in for a spot on Dire at the Apollo...

Have we not had a JD discussion too often on here?

Robbo on the wing

I thought he was alright the other night.
