I am afraid sexism is like racism and all the time there are people of different race and colours and all the time there are women,like it not both will remain long after we are dead and buried. You may as well ask people to give up religion,never going to happen. But you don't just have to accept it. Call it out, shame the bastards responsible and eventually these ideas will become as acceptable as nonceing.

You are of course completely right but if only doing as you suggest would work worldwide or even countrywide but I have sincere doubts. I am remorselessly taken the piss out of,abused if you like, be it weight,long hair, or looking like father f**king Christmas but I am old enough to have a very thick skin and maybe those that suffer abuse could grow a thicker skin themselves because they know,and I know you will never stop the abuse, it's been with us for 1000's of years and its not going to stop any time soon. I now expect to pilloried for my views,thick skin or not.

I disagree that it is inevitable. I was brought up in a homophobic atmosphere but educated myself and overcame early fears instilled in me. Change has to begin somewhere. Even if one person stops being an idiot due to peer pressure in the crowd, it’s a start.

I have to admit I was homophobic in my early years and it wasn't until members of my family declared themselves openly gay that my opinion changed some what. I am ok with it now and accept it even if I dont fully understand the attraction.

You may as well ask people to give up religion,never going to happen. That just posits a world where people can't actively make a decision to stop being dicks. I don't think the swathes of teenagers in the Genco are deep rooted sexists, they're just showing off in front of their mates. I get what you're saying, but those shouting at Beth would act completely differently if 200 people were shouting at their mum while she put out the washing or wolf whistling their sisters while she worked an office job. Literally nothing different about it.

Back on topic, a few points having seen the highlights.
1. Confirmed my opinion at the time that the one that hit the post was never a free kick, let alone a booking.
2. Their penalty claim was wildly optimistic.
3. Our penalty claim was much stronger than theirs.
4. How many deflections did Booty's shot actually take.

Angle I was at, 1 looked a foul but obviously wasn't. And 2 was a f**king dive and should have been a yellow.

I can see why the ref gave it at full speed and with one viewing

I think you would be annoyed if it was given against you but I've seen them given. He was clearly impeded but wasn't ever gonna get to the ball before the keeper. For theirs, if there was contact (and it's a big if) then it was minimal with big George actually pulling out of the challenge. I'm not saying it was a dive but the forward certainly suffers with balance issues to go down that easily.

Despite the highlights making us look good, I thought they were a bit understated - in reality, we had a fantastic game! Or maybe it was just the sunshine...
And Pattison's goal doesn't look half as slow as it did on the day - it seemed to take forever to go in! I thought at the time he'd mishit it, and it looks like that on the replay too. But he can mishit as often as he likes if that's the result!
And whoever said the ref had a good game - I'm not sure we were watching the same match. He certainly didn't give us much in the first half, and the booking was a joke. 'Inconsistent' would be my politest judgement.

Maybe because you're the only c**t that uses it.
