sdb Posted 23 January 2011 Posted 23 January 2011 that is so bad! she was a decent lino as well tbf. not good chaps!
Mack Posted 23 January 2011 Posted 23 January 2011 I have to say that in men's football I dont agree with female officials. That sounds like a private conversation secretly recorded. Saying she does'nt know the rules it out of order but it was'nt meant for public consumption. No doubt the pc brigade will be all over this like flies round shit, hairy keys may get his marching orders.
ScouseFox Posted 23 January 2011 Posted 23 January 2011 Going purely from highlights, she did nothing wong!
Stevosevic Posted 23 January 2011 Posted 23 January 2011 Quite funny really, 1000s of people probably said the same thing at home or in the pub, not a big deal. Sure there wouldn't be a fuss if it was women talking about men, in netball for example.
StanSP Posted 23 January 2011 Posted 23 January 2011 Not the first time he's been caught up in some controversy either... He mocked Walcott at some point last season and when Scotland played Faroe Islands. He's a Coventry fan as well!
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 23 January 2011 Posted 23 January 2011 Any chance the FA or Premier League could bring a disrepute charge or do they only do that for comments on twitter now?
ajthefox Posted 24 January 2011 Posted 24 January 2011 "Did you hear Karen Brady complaining about sexism? Do me a favour love.." haha brilliant in fairness she shouldn't be the lino anyway, male officials for the male game and female officials for the female game.
Raj Posted 24 January 2011 Posted 24 January 2011 These 2 tw@ts should try and manage an under 15's team and see how their little charts and draughts and boards help them. Pricks!
Bellend Sebastian Posted 24 January 2011 Posted 24 January 2011 They've never had to apologise for being massive c**** before, they're probably a bit aggrieved to now have to be apologise for being massive c**** in a slightly different way
accessory Posted 24 January 2011 Posted 24 January 2011 As we all know, there are plenty of crap male match officials out there. Mark "what's a penalty area?" Clattenbung yesterday was just the latest example. It wouldn't have been hard for Sian Massey to do a better job - which she did. Keys and Gray were way out of order to have a go at her, on or off the air.

Saying she does'nt know the rules it out of order but it was'nt meant for public consumption. No doubt the pc brigade will be all over this like flies round shit, hairy keys may get his marching orders. So its OK to be misogynist pricks as long as its said off the mic and between two pals? And if by "PC brigade" you mean people who won't stand for discriminatory comments based on gender, race etc., then I am the chairman of said brigade. They should go back to the 1860's where they belong.
Dickie Greenleaf Posted 24 January 2011 Posted 24 January 2011 They binned off Rodney Marsh a few years ago after his tsunami joke and it'd be good if they did the same here. They've been going on for too long now thinking they're some sort of footballing royalty. Time for a change.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 24 January 2011 Posted 24 January 2011 Going purely from highlights, she did nothing wong! Indeed, she got the decision spot on. So surely that means it's THEM who don't understand the offside rule. I also agree with Bellend, well said!
Alexikokopops Posted 24 January 2011 Posted 24 January 2011 "Did you hear Karen Brady complaining about sexism? Do me a favour love.." haha brilliant in fairness she shouldn't be the lino anyway, male officials for the male game and female officials for the female game. Even that's different to saying she's bound to be rubbish just because she's female
Corky Posted 24 January 2011 Posted 24 January 2011 She's probably no worse than the male officials we see every week. And she got the big decision correct.
Finnegan Posted 24 January 2011 Posted 24 January 2011 The only thing I hate more than ridiculous "PC" is people using the world's irritation with ridiculous "PC" as an excuse to be fucking abusive.
h1210 Posted 24 January 2011 Posted 24 January 2011 Been dropped from tonight's game apparently. Just for being a woman? Harsh
Head Honcho Posted 24 January 2011 Posted 24 January 2011 When I first heard about this I thought it would be another of those harmless tongue in cheek conversations but after hearing it in full all I can say is, what a pair of ****s. It was nasty and vitriolic and almost a form of bullying, they should pay with their jobs as big Ron did............................or is sexism not as bad as racism?
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 24 January 2011 Posted 24 January 2011 Its ironic how derogatry remarks about female officials have actually helped raise the profile of them in the game. She proably wouldn't have got a mention otherwise? Some people are going a little over the top though - lets be fair, if you're in the stand and you saw her make a decision you didn't like (doesn't even have to be wrong) chances are you'd haveg a go with an element of sexism in your mind whether you say it or not. We used to take offense so much better back in the day, water of a ducks back. These days its all OUTRAGE! Can we not say things in jest even if they're a little naughty? Soon we won't be able to take the mikey out of the French!
