Football is a ball game. The ball goes in the net and it's a goal. He was implying it was a game played like men should do, rather rolling around screaming after minimum contact etc . If anything hes had a dig at mens football for all the play acting that happens But I think deep down you already knew that 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katie melua Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I've rewatched his comments and I am certain it was referring to some of the challenges being made. Also, noting the players were just getting up, not rolling around for 5 minutes faking an injury. If he had said 'It's a mans game' as a pundit on a womens match, or making a comment about female refs/assistant refs - then I would 100% be on the side of markg and McRightSide. I remember Richard Keys' comments about Sian Massey and quite rightly, he lost his job at Sky. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt_Hatstand Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) I don't think he's intentionally trying to offend with that comment. But to take the "it's a man's game" comment to its logical conclusion, if they weren't acting like men, what would they be acting like?

Cpt_Hatstand Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 It's very clumsy and just language we should probably try to move away from really, that's it. Not turbo offensive, but probably worth considering 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannofan Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Not a massive shock or suprise to hear him come out with this garbage. It was a crass coment considering he had an ex womens England International sat next to him. It would have been better for the England womens team members past and present just to laugh at him, or take the pish..No point in being offended or outraged at an old ex pro using a ridiculous cliché . Fortunately, dinosaurs like Souness are pretty rare on our screens, and they will all end up at TalkSport or with columns in the right wing press eventually. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 its just a saying thats been in football for ever as has man on , midfield hardman or man to man marking .........it beggars belief that anyone can take offence at what souness said . 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avon barksdale Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I actually didn’t realise what he’d said till the pc presenter stared into the camera and said “and it’s also a woman’s game”. People so easily offended these days . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
