I don’t understandBut it’s just an opinion
You might want to re-phrase that weeman
The point is you think everyone is entitled to an opinion unchallenged even if it discriminates peopleI don’t understand

yeah I suppose I do, would like to live in a world where people get on
I would hazard a guess that isn’t going to happen by allowing people to openly discriminate others

Ex-footballer makes 'racist' remarks at ball

Former international footballer David Speedie sparked outrage after using the terms "b******s" and "n*****s" at a charity function.
Former international footballer David Speedie sparked outrage after using the terms " b******s " and " n*****s " at a charity function.
The former Chelsea, Liverpool and Scotland international made the racist remarks just days after the fury surrounding England's ill-tempered clash with Spain which was marred by racist chanting aimed at England's black players.
Speedie started the evening by agreeing with comments made by shamed TV pundit Ron Atkinson.
Atkinson resigned earlier this year after calling former Chelsea star Marcel Desailly insulting racist names.
Speedie was speaking at a Darlington Supporters' Trust sportsman's dinner on Friday evening at a town hotel in aid of the Percy Hedley Foundation charity when he made his remarks.
Came along with Emerson from Rotherham, I think.did Kevan Smith play for us?
The problem is a lot of women are introduced into 'mens former world' for the sake of PR now its not doing them or anyone any favours if they are not good enough in the first place regardless of gender Phil Neville got roasted Michael Owens a boring c**t but nobodys allowed to say any women are shite because of political correctness these days .. now as far as I am concerned if they are good they get my vote if they are not they get a thumbs down. I don't particularly like referees because the vast majority are crap but I have to say I thought the Russian woman ref against Andorra was excellent
Again, individual women are being criticised all over this thread, I've done it.
Saying you don't like particular woman presenter isn't the same as making sweeping generalisations about all of them.
Hey, I see Walker got you off the mark with our charity wager.It’s incredible how people fail to grasp this.

That was it . Didn't you say he'd get 20+?It was something to do with number of goals above/below 10 IIRC.

Why? It’s in the Cambridge English dictionary - you are allowed to use it in a non-offensive way you know

I personally don’t care who’s presenting I often watch games with commentary off it’s no big deal
Christ I think lee Hendrie is a decent pundit, I think Jamie mackie and Clinton Morrison are borderline retards,I think Merson has been nicking a living for years, I think bianca is brilliant most of the women presenting seem to know there stuff none of this is even worth talking about
cricket is a different story imo some off the female presenters on that are way out of their depth
it’s horse for courses, commentary in cricket is more important than in football
online forums and social media just causes trouble, debate/arguing with people you don’t know
what speedie said is his opinion, I don’t care what it is either way but I don’t care what it is I care that people have to challenge it
Which you did notyou are allowed to use it in a non-offensive way you know

Think you underestimate women with these comments.Can you imagine the amount of flak a woman would get if she had the forthright and controversial opinions that Keane etc had? They'd be told to get "back to the kitchen", "Classic woman, no idea what they are talking about" etc. The privilege of being a bloke allows us to state strong and divisive opinions without our gender being used as a source of credibility.
I'm not quite with you. Are you upset that Speedie (whom I loved as a player, still do), is challenged on a pretty daft statement?
That doesn't upset me, it reassures me. This sort of claptrap, much like racism, deserves to be called out. If it isn't challenged it just keeps going and then even more people begin to think it's somehow acceptable.
called outSomeone shut the thread
