Would you not defend disabled people if they were being mocked because of their disability, or defend people from racism?
once stood up in a pub beer garden and asked a group of about 6 lads to stop effing it and blinding it, in-front of women and children, not one person backed me up,ended up a right set too, so tend to step back now from taking the lead,good luck to you in all the good things you do
To be fair, I've regularly told a linesman to shove his flag up his arse. Dont think I'd manage to do that to Sian like. So we can have double standards completely the opposite way I suppose
just found this in offside rules Being in an offside position is not an offence in itself, but a player so positioned when the ball is played by a team-mate can be judged guilty of an offside offence if they become "involved in active play", "interfere with an opponent", or "gain an advantage" by being in that position. surely having 5 yards head start on our defenders by being a goal hanging cheat, before tapping home is "gain an advantage"
I don't see anything sexist about telling her to shove the flag up her arse. If you said up her vagina that would definitely be weird but 'shove it up your arse' is just a general thing, not a specific male only thing, isn't it?
can't be arsed to read all the posts on this so am probably (hopefully) reflecting what people have said already but having seen the initial post I think it is sexist and isn't funny. Its not the kind of post i think reflects well on us as a fan base.
Honestly, was trying to put s light hearted spin on it, cos this whole thread needs switching off. But, in answer to your question, I dont think I could even say it to a woman official, but to an alpha Male, maybe have some very offensive connotations I suppose. Caught me off guard there tbh so I dont really have a truthful answer
