foreveryoung Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I'm not a big fam of Souness, but I heard him say the comment about men playing like men in a mans football game and just knew it would upset the twitter lot. Then I thought, "never mind twitter, what about the PC VT lads'. An here you are. Funny Carney has not even mentioned it to be a issue, but Eniola Aluko has, but unfortunately no one listens to her.

maqroll Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I'm enjoying Lee Dixon taking the piss out of the breathless poet that is Peter Drury every weekend. It makes listening to Drury somewhat bearable. For all his verbosity, he goes totally silent when Dixon needles him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PC? Really? I think a lot of people mostly cringe at the dated Uncle Alf quality of the comment. It's also just patently non-factual and so sort of irrelevant. I love it when people say these things and focus more on their imagined detractors than on the quality and accuracy of the content itself or any sort of rational argument. There's a certain point where political correctness (do people even say that today?) is supplanted by just ... weird old guy BS that smells like someone pissed their pants at the pub.

Souness is a bigoted dinosaur who only continues to get work because of an old boys network and their constant thirst for controversy. Wish he’d go away and be irrelevant like Keys and Gray.

We all know what he ment, an it wasn't to degrade women or the womens game. He was talking about a mens football game playing like they used to, instead of falling over with a brush of the shoulder.

Karen Carney's face when he said it made her opinion quite clear. She's probably not said anything as she gets so much abuse just from commentating on a game. In fact I think she deleted her Twitter because of all the abuse she gets - I may be mistaken, but weren't you recently suggesting this is a sensible thing for famous people to do? Can't say I thought much of it though. Just another tired cliché from a shite pundit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphan04 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 taken from another thread, but I really think that NBC's coverage is one of the best. Only Howard has played for one of the scum six clubs. On 14/08/2022 at 08:40, Villatillidie95 said: yeah i think she has a great footballing knowledge, sometimes i watch NBC and they have a good panel of Robbie Earle, Tim Howard and Robbie Mustoe and Danny Higginbotham and they make a nice change to the usual sky or bt pundits at times. Her and Tim Howard were at the Villa v Spurs game at the back end of last season, we lost 4-0 and then they wheeled out their little presenting desk thing near the north stand Also, Lowe is very knowledgeable and that is very helpful with the way which the show gets run for sure.

Zatman Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 We might have to start a stupid Souness thread at this point Just saw a video that he said Casemiro wasnt a great player and United got ripped off. Pretty sure he has been praising Rice for years and he couldnt lace Casemiro boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
