Souness

[Gingers Dad]

Have you seen the row at (Imperial ?) college about an Antony Gormley statue. Students are offended because they say the figure’s knee looks like an erect penis? First time I ever came across a 20 year old who objected to an erect penis!

I think you need to rephrase your last sentence

He's a magnificent specimen though and married to a blue.

I’m approaching 70 and I like me I doubt Souness would appreciate being corrected on a statement he’s made time and time again over the years

We live in a world full of snowflakes. Literally can't say anything anymore.

You can’t say that.

I don't think there was any intent to be sexist on Souness's part, and I say that as a lover of City and football, whichever gender plays it. My daughter does to a decent standard and I am 100% sure that Souness was not decrying Women's football in any way. The language may have been clumsy and he might clarify what he meant but there is no need to apologise.

I am making a public apology for comparing human beings to snowflakes. From here on in I promise to spit on children instead of name calling "seen as their is less of a deal about it".

Mens football is a man’s game. Women’s football is a woman’s game.

What about kids?

Over the years I have actually grown to quite like Souness. He tends to say it as it is and has been generally pretty fair in his views on City.
I think his comment was in the context of physicality and the confrontational nature of the men’s game.
Women’s football is very different in this respect. Far less nastinesses in it. It doesn’t make it any better or worse.
In no way was he implying the game should only be for men but some people just can’t wait to take offence.
I don’t think an apology is needed…just an explanation maybe.

I went to utd vs Liverpool on Boxing Day 1978 and I've liked Souness ever since
