Souness

[Lither_1927]

There’s one woman commentator that shouts and screeches and it’s made me turn off games.

I think it's the one on 5live who is across everything of late. Vicki Sparks. A really fake, slightly grandiose voice. Pure affection. It's truly awful to endure the fakeness.

She certainly loves her own voice

I just wanted to finish off contributing to this thread and try and counter the sexism that's prevalent. The Boss in his post quite rightly talked about education and having a counter-argument. I like the way Michael referred to 'the story' and I get that.

You know what my biggest fight in life is? Equality.

It's also worth noting to all those who call me PC, snowflake, softie etc.. that I hardly ever start any threads, let alone bang a PC drum. I'm usually responding to the extreme views of people who start threads because they are pushing an agenda.

If I've got something political to highlight, I do it on the Politics Board.

I've started a few football threads in my time here but they've usually beens swamped by delicate posters who've been so offended by something so banal that it's pushed them into starting their own. This thread is a good example.

Anyway. I have a life and work to do (some of which are campaigning and activism for equality).

Have a great day.
