Andy Gray and Richard Keys are right, women should be at home in the kitchen preparing a hot meal for their partners when they return from the match and not running the line at Premier League football games.
If they want to be involved then they should officiate women's football fixtures. Why have they got to stick their nose into our game?
Sian Massey, the female linesman (that was deliberate BTW) at the centre of the controversial debate between Gray and Keys, isn't the hottest chick that we'll ever see running the line and truth be told, I think I have bigger man boobs, but I'm sure there were plenty of men behind her in the stands that most definitely still would have (use your imagination here).
Men are animals and while the football would have been the priority, every straight guy at the match with some lead in their pencil would have been asking themselves the same question. 'Would she get it?'
Now if she'd had a decent rack, and they'd been juggling around while she ran the line, that would definitely have put me off the game. It would have been a distraction and I challenge any hot blooded male to tell me that they wouldn't have had the odd peak? Yup, you see, you took your eye off the game, this is my point.
I do believe that some women, the minority of course, do understand the rules of football etc and Sian Massey will be able to do her job as good as many man, I really do believe that. But that doesn't mean that I want to see split arses officiating the game.
I don't mind women going to the games providing they are accompanying a male partner. I've taken plenty of birds to the games over the years but only for company. It used to be a long drive down the A64 and M62 and someone had to lean into the McDonalds drive-through window.
Whatever happened to the female commentator on Match Of The Day? Is she still around? God she used to do my head in. She was even worse than Jonathan Pearce.
I don't like women officiating games, I don't like women commentating on games and I don't like women anchoring football programmes.
And as for Karen Brady, for someone who bangs on about sexism, she certainly knows how to dress like a woman, she knows how to catch the male eye. I'm not complaining of course but she's no fool. She's certainly taken advantage of the fact that she's a good looking woman and I've yet to see her dress down to look like a librarian.
Of course some of my words in this editorial are tongue-in-cheek to try and get a bite but I do believe that Andy Gray and Richard Keys are entitled to their views. To me it was nothing more than male banter, male bravado, just like how us guys criticise women drivers. Us guys talk a lot of sh*t when we're together, we continually try to impress one another.
Do I oppose of women officiating men's football? Yes I do but that's because I think they should stick to women's football. I have no problem with women attending games providing they're prepared to do the pie run at half time.
Am I sexist? Well I guess people will say so, but away from men's football, I have no problem with female police officers, female firefighters, female soldiers etc. If I'm sexist because I would prefer men to officiate the men's game (notice I said the men's game and not football), then so be it.
If this sh*te is all we've got to worry about then there's something seriously wrong.
