Souness

I'm not offended he said its a man's game ! Is football a "man's game " ? No it isn't. Stop trying to defend the dinosaur ! The only reason I have commented is because people like you are trying to defend this clown.
"Dinosaur", "clown", would hate to see you when you are offended. You've taken something out of the context it was meant in, by a decent person, a great pundit and a legend of the game - and you're happy to appear almost ageist in your over the top condemnation. Yes "people like me" will continue to defend him - whilst people like you will continue to be offended (whilst pretending they are not).
 
Yep, the whole thing seems to have been blown well out of proportion. Souness is one of Sky’s better pundits and the general point he was making (about refs letting more stuff go this season and last) is a valid one. It’s improving the spectacle greatly.
I'll chuck myself out here and get called woke for it or whatever, and I don't think it's a big deal, but I do wonder if it'd hurt to update gendered language around how we talk about physicality in the game. Lots of girls and women will have heard this stuff their whole lives, in much patronising ways that Souness used, and I don't think it hurts to acknowledge their responses. And I also don't think it's unrelated that a load of responses to women complaining have basically amounted to "and the women's game is shite", with much worse on Twitter. Despite what some on here think, Souness strikes me as quite a thoughtful bloke who will think about it and adapt as needed.
