So someone else has been yip yapping with their mike still switched on, and comments they would rather had not been heard were heard.... Andy and Richard were commenting on how it's basically ridiculous that a woman would have a job in football as a linesman/linesperson.
In the Wolvo and Liverpool match, Liverpool scored, and the female linesperson allowed the goal, and Andy and Richard were commenting on how women shouldn't be in a job like this. The convo went on for a while, and the upshot is that they made some pretty sexist remarks, assuming that a woman couldn't possibly know about football and yet the young woman's decision was apparently spot on.
So anyone have any views on this? Are these two a couple of offensive and rude old dinosaurs that need to get into the 21st century? Or are they entitled to their opinion? and were they right? Were they just saying what most men are thinking (NOT ME) or were they completely and utterly wrong?
I think that they've embarrassed themselves and made themselves look like twats. And they made some snide comments about Karren Brady too.
