Souness

Re: Souness

You know as well as I do that they'd be far too afraid to ever even suggest it.
The PC brigade are out in full force, constantly. Plenty of examples of that on this here thread :hehe:

What is PC about not being bothered if there are women refs?

Re: Souness

It wouldn’t bother me to be honest. I would simply scroll and click on the thing I am interested in as I do on most websites including this one.

I don’t understand what’s weird about it tbh. I think getting annoyed by it is weird.

It's weird because it's a sporting news website and quite clearly that isn't at the forefront of the news. It is pushing an agenda.

Re: Souness

The women's game isn't lacking either of those. Where it differs from the Men's game is in the physicality which would have been a better word for Souness to use on Sunday.

Nah it's clearly lacking skill compared to men. I've no problem with women who want to play football. Good luck to them. It's just the media drive for equality that i don't like.

Must be a miserable existence to think like that.

But maybe I just can’t get in the headspace. I watch a lot of football and read about a shit load of football and don’t feel like anything I’m not interested in is being “shoved down my throat”

Not everything in the world is aimed at me, it’s easy to not pay attention to things that don’t interest me.

You choose to toe the line, in the name of equality and political correctness. That's fine, it's your choice.

Don't necessarily expect others to be as mentally vacuous as you. I have my own opinion and will not "toe the line" so willingly, that's my right :thumbup:

Why do you feel the need to compare the two sports though?

I don’t understand the mentality that any time women’s sport is mentioned certain people have to jump straight away to “not as good as men’s football”

Being that negative all the time must be exhausting.

I don’t expect everyone to have the same opinion I’m just interested in yours since I find it a bit backwards but even you can’t seem to explain it without irrelevant buzzwords like “politically correct”

What line am I choosing to toe by not being outraged by female officials and female pundits? It doesn’t affect my enjoyment of anything, what’s wrong with finding it baffling that female refs bother someone?

I've explained it.
On numerous occasions.
You just don't seem able to grasp it!
That's ok....
You don't have to.

You haven’t explained it though. You’ve said some nonsense about women blocking men’s routes to be refs even though there are about 3 women officials in the whole sport.

Not being interested women’s football fine but not wanting women to be officials for no genuine reason is just sexism.

There are MANY more than 3 women in the sport, don't act silly, although, I'm not sure you need to act it, you're sounding it just by continually arguing the same point that's been answered numerous times. Equality is what is blocking their path, not the women themselves, but you knew that already.

And sexist I am not. I like sex! :hehe:

Can’t see both sides and present the balanced view on this one then?

I think maybe we have different opinions
of equality.

I think equality means everyone getting a fair crack of the whip based on their skills. Which women historically have not had. This is why it doesn’t bother me because I see it as more people getting a fair chance whereas you see it as men getting less of a fair chance.

But in the instance of officials being women I don’t think it’s applicable as we need more anyway. And there are so few women officials I genuinely can’t see how you can think they’ve blocked any men, more qualified or otherwise.

I haven’t mentioned women pundits because I think it’s a whole other argument but again I’d say since 99% of pundits are men I genuinely don’t think any men are being blocked by women. Unless you think any woman in any job is blocking a man from doing it.

Re: Souness

How about mixed football...now that might work and keep everyone happy...the refs could be transgender to keep a balance in the world.

It wouldn’t work because men are naturally stronger and faster than women

I mean, it's just weird isn't it? This isn't the news people want to read.

That's the problem with all of the fuss over Souness, it all just feels like part of a much bigger picture. Aside from anything else, it's just annoying.

Fixed it for you.
