Think it may be this,

A monkey and a Irishman were shot into space, and when they were settled in orbit they opened their sealed instructions.

The monkeys explained what course to follow and to do the various tests, the Irishman opened his and it said don't forget to feed the monkey.

Now before anyone start's that the one I remember, and both my parents are Irish and I count myself Irish.

And when Hodgson was asked about this why didn't he say I don't associate monkeys with black people but you obviously do.

It was intended to illustrate the idea that Hodgson wanted right-back Chris Smalling to play the ball more often to Townsend, who was terrorising the Polish defence.

But it is believed that BARRY CHUCKLE was shocked, because he thought it carried racist connotations so he complained to the moderators.

The joke, which is believed to have been told in full at half-time, is as follows.

‘NASA decided they would finally send a man up in an capsule after sending only monkeys in the earlier missions.

‘They fire the man and the monkey into space.’

‘The intercom crackles “fire the retros”.

‘A little later, “Monkey, check the solid fuel supply’

‘Later still “Monkey, check the life support systems for the man”.

‘The astronaut takes umbrage and radios NASA. “When do I get something”.’

‘NASA replied – in 15 minutes, feed the monkey.’
