    No I didn't call you a cretin about that. It was in response to your defence of it.
    Again...are you happy with the comments I quoted? It's a simple question.

    Fair enough - I’m trying to catch up with it all. Have to say as a woman who has been involved in football all my life in the same way Sian Massey has, I found the OP vaguely amusing and not really offensive - it’s one I would have put down as banter, as I’m pretty sure she would (although I can’t speak for her).
    That said, it’s a fine line. Some of the other comments I’ve heard been mentioned are definitely offensive, and unhelpful.
    I hate the thought that my male friends couldn’t “rib” me. It’s part of being friends and liking football. As yet none have gone so far as to upset me. I do think the anonymity of social media makes people say things that they just wouldn’t say to someone’s face.

    About a female commentator sounding like she had a gob full of dildo.- Uncalled for deffo
    A female linesman being too busy putting on her lipstick to get a decision right- mildly amusing
    The same lineswoman being three ironing boards behind play- again mildly amusing.

    I'm at a loss with you're argument. I typed the word "chinky" to to raise an argument about the use of inappropriate language in general. And at the same time condemning such language. Is that not clear? If not then I apologise.

    Oh now I see it, having zoomed in on the iPhone. Ironing board. Inferring Sian is best left at home with hubby’s shirts. Reight funny, that..o_O
    I talked about a female commentator earlier. Nowt to do with gender (Kev?), I just don’t think she’s very good at her job.
    Gutted we lost that game, but if we’d had an honest goal disallowed, I wouldn’t have photoshopped a sink plunger into the hands of the male ref.. o_O

    Surely the difference is that (I assume) nobody on here is friends with Sian Massey.

    And this sums it up completely. If you don’t take account of context when something is said, you’re crackers. If you think everyone has a ‘right’ not to ever be offended you’re just scary, and living in the wrong country.

    Some common ground then.
    The second two just piled on the first pushed me over the edge.
    I'm definitely no prude but in a world where women in many spheres are struggling for equality we HAVE to be better than that kind of attitude and this forum is no exception.

    I apologise if I've upset you by using the term "chinky". However, in all my posts I think I have made it quite clear that I find the use of the term appalling. And I've only used the racist slur to prove a point. You clearly don't understand that though because you are a massive moron.
