Re: Souness

Where are women being given roles and blocking men? It certainly isn’t refs and linesmen/women because there’s a huge shortage of them.

When 50% of the population are women and like <1% of football pundits are women are pundits I’d like to know where a woman has blocked any man getting a job.

So you're trying to suggest that there are no male ref's or linesmen available, which is why there is a need to recruit women in their place?
Get the flock out of here.

Re: Souness

Which perfectly qualified and capable blokes are being denied these roles?

Are you suggesting there aren't any?
Seriously?

That’s not why there’s a need to have women in their place. There is a genuine shortage of refs and linesmen through all levels of the game.

Why don’t you want women linesmen? It can’t be that they’re blocking men because they aren’t. Again 50% of the population are women, 99.99% of football officials are men.

What is it about men that makes you want them to be the only ones allowed to officiate men’s football?

It sounds like you aren’t basing any of your opinions of facts and only feelings.

Re: Souness

Are you really equating Graeme Souness's comments with Apartheid?

Deary me

No.

Re: Souness

Seriously?

You don't seem to be able to name any or prove that it's happened. Have any of these men come forward about it?

There are 3 female officials in the Premier League out of ~60. None are refs, only assistants. What evidence is there to show these 3 aren't there by merit and have pushed a more suitable candidate out of a job?

Again, are you suggesting there isn't a whole bunch of male officials, pissed off that women are taking their potential jobs ahead of them because of "equality"?

I reckon there absolutely is!!

Yet you'll base yours on articles from the likes of the daily mail ffs :hehe: :hehe:

Re: Souness

You're sounding like a broken record now Kev. If you disagree with my opinion, that's fine. I'd be shocked if everybody did, and it would be a very boring world if we all thought and felt the same way.
I've explained that I don't like the equality issue being abused and shoved down our throats whilst perfectly qualified and capable blokes are being denied a shot in those roles.
I'm not going to keep repeating my stance.
Use your noggin and go back and read instead of banging the same drum repeatedly without adding anything constructive.

Unsurprising to see this little boy continuing to prove my point from last night.

Incels like him and his acolytes, who are out in number in this thread, are terrified of women treading on their little toes and invading their "safe spaces" like football. Desperate to keep women in their place, he probably hates the fact that they even attend matches!

Re: Souness

There are sources in the dailymail article and 3 other articles there for you to read. I could post another 50 if that would help.

I linked dailymail and inews to cover both ends of the spectrum. Also worth noting the daily Mail’s sport coverage is one of the best, never confuse a paper’s sport section journalism with that of the news section.

What do you base your opinion of? Why don’t you want women officials?

Re: Souness

It's actually an interesting topic. I was intrigued by the statement: "You know what my biggest fight in life is? Equality." So I did a little digging, and it seems there is a lot more to it than football commentators and referees. Hopefully we will get some definitions, so that we can know exactly what we are discussing here.
