Souness

Like the fact that Souness talked about it being a “man’s game” in a match where one of the main talking points was a player pulling another player’s hair.

That was my initial thought, but actually there is a point here. He might be perceived as assuming that if it was women playing the game then it would be different in a particular, specific way.

Whereas if you actually watch a game of womens football they actually kick the shit out of each other as happily as the men, just more slowly and with less technical ability.

He could’ve been more clear perhaps by saying “it’s a human’s game” or “it’s not a game for softy namby-pamby animals like cats”.

Or maybe he could have said “I’m talking purely about mens football here, as a pundit that is commentating on a mens football game: it’s a mens game.” The first bit shouldn’t need saying, but we are where we are.

It would be different, because womens football is different in its own right, it is a mans game he’s watching and commenting on

He's 69. Too late to change the way he speaks or his use of language. Not that he has anything to apologise for anyway.

 

[Banshee]

Hes on with Simon Jordan on talksport tomorrow, no chance will he apologise.

He shouldn't, no need to imo. He's not talking about football in general but a specific mens game. I get she's still very giddy about what they did this summer but to get upset by that is being overly sensitive and quite petty.

If there was I think in this day and age it would be changed.

Disagree that they’d change it as it would mean blokes would also be able to play women’s football no?

He was commenting on a man’s game. Women in being outraged shocker

Who cares what he was commenting on its not a "man's game " its a boys, girls women's everyones game ! That's the reason why dinosaurs like him deserve a bollocking.
