I dont think people are offended by any of it, annoyed yes but is anyone really offended on either side of the argument?

People want to cause hysteria on both sides of the argument, I’m sure Souness won’t use the term ‘men’ again.

It's all getting a bit silly now that using the word 'men' in relation to men's football is a no no.

 

Sky now don't/can't use the term 'Man of the match' in a men's match, he has to be called 'Player of the match'. Is this due to political pressure?

Agreed, I personally think it’s been taken to far, there’s a line but this is nowhere near it.

Player of the game.

I grew up watching that great Liverpool side of the late 1970s/early 1980s and Graeme Souness was one of my idols. Tremendous player and not a bad pundit either. Treats/treated each role with a no nonsense attitude and even though his comments in this day would seem sexist and out of touch, I think he was using the words he did to describe the type of game which he obviously felt was like the games he was involved in all those years ago.

 

FWIW I don’t mind the female pundits. Some are really good but even though the game essentially is the same, the styles and levels of physicality are very different in the mens/women’s game and TBH should be treated and regarded as such but at the same time with respect.

Whatever. It shouldn't be an issue having a 'man of the match' award in a mens football game.

Must be awful when you let yourself be triggered by fluff and nonsense.

He was a dirty get that liked dishing it out but couldn't take it back at him. Thug even back then.

He broke Siggi.

 

That said, what he said wasn't wrong. Have a gander at Loose Women and disect their attitudes towards men. Then program wouldn't be allowed the other way around
