The world has gone PC mad. I'm sure it was just banter, especially the bit where someone was supposedly pinned up against a wall. ;)

pissedagain said:i can tell you aussie that county have said it was nothing to do with it being a woman, they more or less said she never had the correct pass, thats why i said dont take the word of a journo
NottsCountyFC said:I never said that we won, just that it was a great result, which is a fact, it was. I believe that if you had won comfortably then this wouldnt even have had been reported as it has.
I really am surprised by the ridiculousness of some of the replies on here over this. Whatever the story claimed, she was not kicked out of the tunnel for being a woman, as there were other women there; two of which I have spoken to. If she did not have the neccessary authority, did not make known who she was or did not seek out the people neccessary to allow her to go there then she would be stopped. You cant just have anybody walking around that area, like at the World Cup when a fan broke into the changing room area of the England changing rooms.
And again, if we have a rule - which a lot places use, that women cannot go in a male changing room, then she has to abide by it - if you call that sexism then you might aswell say that the whole idea of separate gender changing rooms is 'sexist'.
But as I said earlier, if there was perhaps a sexist undertone in telling her to leave from any of the police appointed Stewards for the game then we will obviously follow it up.
You werent at a Premiership club, things are different down at this level. Its shouldnt really be a shock, it wasnt too long ago that you were playing teams much like us each week.
