So it's not a man's game if it's not physical? Toxic masculinity at its best right there, just as bad as rugby watchers who throw the same criticism at football.
FWIW I don't think Souness meant to be sexist or perpetuate toxic masculinity. It's the same as when my Dad says racist things without realising. But choice of language IS important and people should be called out on it, even if they shouldn't be vilified.
As you well know I meant in current times.1966 ?
Or were you not born then ?
The problem is, he is being vilified.
I’m sorry, it must because I’m old. He didn’t abuse anyone, he didn’t swear.
It was a men’s match, there was quite a bit of physicality, particularly on the side line, and there was quite a bit of toxic masculinity. That is rarely seen in women’s match, as is hair pulling. How the hell did both the referee AND VAR miss that?
Points are being made about Souness, who I didn’t care a lot about, which are being blown out of all proportions.

100% this.
I know what Souness meant, but these days it's a somewhat unfortunate choice of phrase he used, and there probably wouldnt have been such a fuss in some quarters if he'd had added 'in the context of this match'.
Yet that's seems how you have interpreted his output ... 'in the context'. ..and you can't just pander to all in those 'quarters'...they lie in wait many of them, for the slightest wrong word/phrase... the Woke taking the stuffing out of the British Empire !
..it's like on this Forum ...you can very easily upset the more sensitive types...if you just rap out what's in your mind at Random.
I don't think you can upset anyone tbh Brian.
Agree. Some are easily upset. They go blubbing on about the British Empire.Yet that's seems how you have interpreted his output ...

In cricket they got rid of the term "Batsman" and replaced it with the term "Batter."
So, how come the fielding position "Third Man" is still used?
Got you there flakes.

Shame we had no help with Hitler. My history isn't strong enough to know about Napoleon. Nor is my interest.The Empire itself didn't blub though did it..it took out Napoleon and Hitler ! Why we speak English...
Well he clearly did as hes has just served a week long ban.I don't think you can upset anyone tbh Brian.
Courts are just too lenient these days.Well he clearly did as hes has just served a week long ban.
