Souness getting it now

[TN8]

Made a "man's game" comment at the end of the Chelsea game there. Twitter currently in meltdown because his fellow pundit was some female footballer. It's a well known (and factual) turn of phrase ffs, honestly what the f*ck is it with these people?!

Sadly wouldn't be surprised if Sky get rid now.

 

[mustn’t grumble]

Yet he’s entirely correct. I am personally sick of pandering to the same lot who got beat by academy teams and regularly post cricket scores.

 

[Puggy]

This is the offended world we live in now, Unfortunately.

 

[muttley]

I knew the minute he said it that social media would implode.

It is a man’s game , played by men

Woman’s football is a woman’s game

One of the few who talks sense on tv now.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Anybody offended by “it’s a man’s game” should get booted squarely in the bollocks/fanny.

Pathetic absolutely pathetic

 

[DoubleWhopper]

Souness is of the old school.

Not a bad bone in his body and wouldn’t have given second thought to what he said.

We live in a pathetic age

 

[Family bam]

What a f.ucked up wee country which unfortunately will only get worse.

 

[giogaddi]

Tuchel said it aswell lol

 

[Pirlo]

It’s weird how blood thirsty and desperate these people are to see careers destroyed, amidst posturing as being morally superior and what not. I mean in a way it’s actually quite twisted and sinister to want to see people publicly torn down yet these people almost seem to get off on it. Strange crowd that’s all I can say.

 

[mustn’t grumble]

That ugly boots face when he said it, itching to get him cancelled.

Like, this is a perfect example. Men are supposed to sit there and pretend like we know who this Karen actually is. I don’t know what I care less about - her career or the face she’s pulling on the legend that is Mr Souness.

He said it before and the host mentioned it was also a woman's game...yawn, then it went to a break. No doubt producers sweating and worrying about what was said. But Souness then said it again. Superb!

 

[Simply a Bear]

These keyboard warriors should consider the context it was said in, and take into consideration the age of Souness. But I guess critical thinking is too much to ask.

 

[der_hammer10]

If the morons complaining could tell me which of the Chelsea or Spurs players were women?

Or if the morons could just accept the fact it is a well known phrase.

 

[DoubleWhopper]

What a f.ucked up wee country which unfortunately will only get worse.

You say “wee country” like it’s a parochial or Scottish thing.

This is a phenomenon plaguing the English speaking world.

 

[David Edgar]

Didn’t Tuchel in his interview say the same? Definitely said ‘we are men’ or similar about his argument with conte!

 

[Disraeli]

They didn’t sack Carragher after he spat on a 14 year old girl.

No chance will the get rid of Souness over this.

 

[Bluebeard]

Today he’s commenting on a man’s football game. Was he meant to say” it’s a humans game”?

Jesus Christ.

 

[DoubleWhopper]

Spat on someone ?

That’s hardly more egregious than offending through words, in this day and age.

Keys and Gray?

It's 'player of the match' now mate

 

[Oranje]

Somebody in the lounge called the recent wave of social media offence “recreational outrage.” Think thats a spot on description for it.

 

[Morty]

One of the lionesses has already started mouthing off. That'll boost WSL attendances haha.

 

[Blootoonboy]

Do these offended types have a rota they work so that they have all their bases covered?

Getting more and more sick of thid p1sh!

Or do I need educating?

 

[sifter]

Presenter obviously got told through his earpiece by the producers to correct Souness and say it also a womens game. Pathetic from Sky

 

[cooprfc]

The game today was played by men.

End of issue.

 

[venturablue]

Be was talking about men's football. What else is he meant to say?

%^*& me what a world. And world that's only going to get more fucked.

 

[DoubleWhopper]

Let’s just call it for what it is.

I have no problem with female analysts, female pundits. Some of them are not bad.

But we live in an age now where it’s a pre-requisite.

You cannot watch a premier league game, BT sport, Sky, where female analysts and pundits or commentators aren’t front and centre.

We’ve all gone a bit crazy. By all means give someone a platform if they can speak sense on the game, regardless of race or gender.

What we’re exposed to now isn’t that, it’s pure insistence on “positive discrimination”

 

[TheFrenchTank]

He's right, sick of this woke agenda that the two genders are equal in football, the quality difference is so vast.

 

[UlsterScotGer]

If he’d said it covering the final of the woman’s Euro’s I could understand the uproar.
As for Karen Carney, if she was feeling fed up with the tone, it doesn’t make her universally right. I’m sure Souness has occasionally rolled his eyes off camera at her ‘expert comments’.

 

[Arlo]

See the look on her face as well, trying to work out if she can be offended or not.

 

[Bigboabwylie]

Stop the world I want to get off

 

[Jamiegatami]

He just said “he hasn’t exactly set the heather on fire”

This is clearly a hate crime against lassies called Heather and he should be double cancelled

 

[GazzaLegend]

Compare the reaction to this to the complete lack of reaction to a stand full of scum, clearly heard on Sky TV singing “Brit’s out’ celebrating terrorist, sectarianism, and sick songs about the death of good men just because they worked for your rivals. The silence is deafening yet again.

 

[Thor]

Sky will no doubt apologise live on air then cancel him. I’m more of offended having to put up with the likes of Lianne Sanderson and Clinton Morrison tbh!

 

[orjan_persson]

Sky sports are in serious danger of pissing off the majority of their viewers really soon.

 

[Est1872]

Imagine living your life being offended by anything and everything.

Blood pressure constantly high.

Just laugh in their face and get on with your life.

 

[omar]

And in the aftermath of England winning last month, I repeatedly heard that this was good for the ‘women’s game’.

Should I have been offended?

These absolute scumbags pretend to be paragons of virtue, constantly trying to claim the moral high ground, when the reality is they are consumed by hate for certain groups and have no interest in parity and equal rights. They can go and take a %^*& to themselves.

 

[cambie gers]

One of the lionesses has already started mouthing off. That'll boost WSL attendances haha.

She should stop mouthing off and get her man's tea on.

 

[PortoyMortoy]

This is why women's football never should have been given the attention it has been have forced to give, think they are big time when they would struggle to beat an u16 academy team. In all seriousness though it's a figure of speech. If two teams of women were playing like Spurs and Chelsea did and someone said it was a woman's game no one would bat an eyelid, always taken it as a way of saying they are adults and can handle themselves but i suppose people on social media have to show they are a better person than someone else and make sure everyone else knows it.

The best one (as much as we all know how much of a horrible human being Haggerty is) was her campaigning for people to kick out racism, call it out and whatever else then immediately say that the other contender for worst woman in Scotland didn't actually do anything wrong when it was discovered she had a propensity for dropping the n word. Absolute dregs.

I'm sure they are aware of this, they have to be.

Age has nothing to do with it, they were watching a man’s game, if she’s that sensitive she’s in the wrong job

 

[Jelle1880]

He should not get pelters for that.

His comment about how the ref had a good game though...

 

[cooprfc]

One of the lionesses has already started mouthing off. That'll boost WSL attendances haha.

I don't care about women's football at all. Means nothing to me.

I respect those who enjoy it.

Why can't people be allowed to not care?

 

[Bluebeard]

And in the aftermath of England winning last month, I repeatedly heard that this was good for the ‘women’s game’.

Should I have been offended?

Good point well made.

It’s both a man’s game and a woman’s game and Souness said nothing wrong.

 

[DoubleWhopper]

I have 4 days before I can get out of my new contract without penalty so if they’re going to hang Souness out to dry, I hope they do it asap

 

[Avengers]

He’s right, the men play mens football and therefore it’s a man’s game. The women play womens football.
