I'm just yawning at your efforts.

Historic tweet from Karen Carney

I know we disagreed the other day but I’m 100% with you on this one. BBC Sports webpage doesn’t discern between the leagues now and I’m often left wondering has someone signed a player I don’t know.
Women’s football, pundits, officials are fine but I can’t stand female or Scottish commentators, Pat Nevin (m) & I turn the radio off. Can’t stand Chris Sutton whilst I’m at it.
Motorcycle racing is a fully integrated sport, no differentiation, female presenters are knowledgeable and excellent. I just don’t see that in football.
I'm sure this message board didn't used to be so full of grumpy old men
Not always. I don't quite follow that line.
100 years ago, the vast majority of people would have had the opinion that a woman's place is in the home. They would have also thought children should be seen and not heard.
Anyone who still has those opinions is now an utter knob. We're seeing issues like homosexuality and gender no longer bother younger people. In a couple of generations it would be great if people were seen just as people and not judged by issues such as that. Anyone who thinks homosexuality is a bad thing are so out of touch their opinions aren't worth anything as the world has moved on.
Having opinions is one thing. Having opinions that are valid is another. Hiding behind "it's my opinion, you need to accept that" when that opinion is a load of bollocks is one of the most frustrating aspects of conversation.
I think it's more a case of a very small number of incels infecting this board. It may well only be 2 or 3 but using multiple log ins. The boards moderator has failed to spot this or, more likely, is supportive of their views. This thread sums up the consequence of his inaction.
The modern world terrifies them. Change is always bad and they feel threatened. They see conspiracy theories everywhere. They are the true snowflakes, scared of their own shadow.
Quite a few sane, sensible posters have left of late and I can't say I blame them.
Eric, who brought up any of this??!
Nobody says a woman's place is in the kitchen. Nobody says children should be seen, not heard. Nobody is being racist or homophobic ffs.....!
Get a grip. People are entitled to opinions. If they don't match yours, it's ok.
My opinion is that women are clearly physically inferior to men. Maybe in 100 years that may change, I know a few that could be mistaken for blokes :hehe:
The point is that the two variants of football should be kept separate. For now at least....
Women can have their football, I just don't feel they should be a part of the men's game. I'm sure they don't want Ian Wright being part of their game either!
Wow, just wow!
I'm not a multi-account holder. Nor am I a conspiracy theorist or "snowflake" as you put it :hehe:
What's scary is that people like you have become so ingrained in this PC mentality that you can't stand it when someone else has a difference of opinion and wants to stand up to it!
I personally think the moderation of this board is excellent. If the boss and mods bent over for people like you, trust me... There would be nobody here!
Another thread where we have seen mental gymnastics on an elite Olympic level.
I was just countering your opinion that differences of opinion are healthy. They can be sometimes, but not always. I don't believe anyone can hold any opinion about anything, especially when it can be proved that it's a load of utter bollocks or whether that opinion is hopelessly out of touch, no longer valid etc. In such cases, a difference of opinion is hardly healthy.
Again, I'm not suggesting they shouldn't do those jobs!
My point is simple. Let them officiate the women's games. There are many men, probably quite a few ex players who didn't make it, had their careers cut short through injury etc, that would probably kill for those opportunities.
It's not rocket science is it?
