MellbergsBeard Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 If Souness actually put any time into preparing for these games rather than using clichéd sayings he wouldn’t have said that at the weekend. he adds nothing at all to the punditry team, just hate and anger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 The bloke is a **** embarrassment. He belongs in a working men's club in the 80s, not on national TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I think Souness is an out of touch dinosaur as much as the next guy, but he's just spouting cliches there. Nothing we haven't seen a million times on Sky before. The lack of self awareness to say this right next to a woman is funny though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've evolved past that some time ago. Not sure if you've heard, but they let women play now." It's a very British quality though, just letting the old man have his say and not being willing to put him in his place. Stiff upper lip and all that. Manners above all other things. Keep calm and carry on. The host said almost exactly that after his insane ramblings finished. I belive his words were "it's a woman's game too". You could debate with him but he'd just say "what have you achieved to have so much to say" like he did to Tyrone. He'd then go back to being the arsehole that he is. Hence, he needs binning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Souness is a dinosaur and should be dropped. If you compare him to Ally Mccoist who is only about 10 years younger, is so much more in tune with modern football, plus is actually a nice guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think being a "dinosaur" is about age, really. Some people are just idiots with a defined world view and they'll never change. It's as common in idiots in their 20s and 30s as it is in their 60s, it's just the views become more and more incongruous 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) Talksport strike gold again A week after they sign him up he's had a row with mings and now this Earned his pay already FWIW I don't think there's much wrong with what he said, its not sexist or homophobic, I take it as a reference to men vs boys and stronger more physical "men" being how we want the game played, he means it's not a kids game it's a mans game, there's no meaning of not for women in that Edited August 15, 2022 by villa4europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 If only there was a word for non-children humans that didn't exclude half of non-children humans. We'll come up with one at some point. I don't think he's deliberately sexist, or racist, with genuine ill-intent. I just think he's a thick word removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im pretty sure it's still literally called mens football or mens 1st team and boys football, its not adults football To say "this is men's football" in reference to it should be more physical than boys football is still perfectly acceptable He is a thick word removed but I don't think he's said anything wrong, I think he's used common terminology still used within football, the assumption that I think is wrong is that he's used "men" in a comparison to women and I don't think he has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted August 15, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) Waiting and waiting and waiting during the Guardian Football Weekly podcast for discussion of the Villa-Everton match ... and it doesn't event merit a mere mention. I don't recall many episodes when there's not even an effort to mention us. I hate the anti-Midlands bias of Britain's media establishment.

He literally can't even be arsed to learn their names or even jot them down during the match for later reference. He was lucky to survive his comment about the 'Latins'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Reading the sports pages of i newspaper and found these 2 headlines on the same page interesting "what is the point of PSGs and Bayerns dominance?" "super powers are in for a bumpy ride as new wave of smart clubs emerge" Long story short it's about how the PL is so good because Palace, Fulham, Leeds, Brighton and Brentford will all challenge for CL places but the French and German leagues are so bad because of PSG and bayern... This is what the media do with the PL, absolutely no mention of man City pissing the league (again) and the illusion of these clubs competing, those 5 clubs will win **** all this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
