letter in the league express today complaining about barrie mcdermott and the comments he makes on tv about his wife on sky games.

unless it's come from Mrs McDermott herself, what's it got to do with anyone else

and earlier...


Which law are you referring to?

The Equality Act which came into force at the end of last year. Basically if an organisation is made aware of sexist, racist, homephobic etc comments being made within their "are of control", they must investigate and take whatever action is ncessary. If they fail to take action they can be fine.

OK, right.

"OHHH, I'm really offended by a throwaway comment, that a second rate summariser has made, on a poorly viewed satellite sports programme, about HIS wife, oohhh , it makes my blood boil!" Honestly, what's it got to do with anyone. NOWT. The people of this country are becoming obsessive with other peoples business.

Are you a legal representative, touting for business, mikej?

Nah. Just somebody that sees this kind of thing in workplaces week in, week out. I sort of agree with your sentiment along the lines of the fact that its stupid but unfrotunately the people that know whats best for us (policticians....yeh right!!!!!) have decreed that basically it could be illegal if somebody ...and it doesnt even have to be the person on the receiving end of the banter....finds it offensive.

time to decommision every comedy programme ever made then.
Hard to believe our parents/grandparents etc lived through world wars.
"I'm going to sue/see that Herr Hitler loses his job, as I'm offended that his bombs are landing on our houses"

To quote the legendary Alan Partridge ".........this country.........you people"

Never been an Andy Gray fan ever since he scored against Forest in the League Cup Final.

Haven't read the letter in question but if I recall correctly, Terry O'Conner often compared his wife's thighs to Hutch Maiava's!

Gary Neville to replace Gray as Sky pundit was uttered about this morning.

Even speaking as a ManU fan here. Surely to god there are more suitable candidates than Gary Neville for that role in the world of fußball?

ManU

Who would be more suitable than someone who has played at the top of the game for the last 16 years winning all there is to win.

I'm not a big fan of Neville as a person but it's clear he loves the game and. When he was a pundit on ITV a few years back I thought he was OK. He spoke well, made a lot of sense and talked about the games as he saw them, not with the tired old cliché most pundit use.

The only thing he's got going against him is his pro United stance won't go down at all with the ABU nation.
