I have many good debates and **conservations at work with female colleagues who follow City or other teams, and even if others who don’t follow the game are involved in the conversation they always seem engaged and actually seem interested in what we’re saying. As a general rule the topics of religion, politics, personal relationship issues/sexlives should be avoided in the workplace. Yet you see fit to bring ** tory politics into yours?

WhistleHappy Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 2 hours ago, RedM said: This is the biggest load of rubbish I have ever heard and as a female I am embarrassed by her attitude Chartered Management Institute head Ann Francke said sports banter can exclude women and lead to laddish behaviour such as chat about sexual conquests. "A lot of women, in particular, feel left out," she told the BBC's Today programme. "They don't follow those sports and they don't like either being forced to talk about them or not being included." She's getting loads of well deserved vitriol for her views, people are angry. If I was Ann Francke I'd find myself an attic to hide away in until things blow over.

WolfOfWestStreet Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Making the assumption that women don't like to talk about football is probably quite offensive to the thousands of female season ticket holders we have at Ashton Gate, who are as knowledgeable and enjoy the football craic as much as anyone. Dont know why the BBC give these cretins a platform ... Well I do ... but not worth wasting anymore air on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBW Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Seems Anne Franke is finding it difficult to concentrate with all the football talk going on. May be worth attending some sort of weekend retreat to help her with her concentration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyderInACan Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 I'm no snowflake by any stretch of the imagination but Anne Frank gags on Holocaust Memorial Day are in pretty poor taste.

Even if she was just a couple of metres away, they’d probably keep passing the ball to each other, rather than take responsibilty for shooting!

I'm struggling to pick out which City players to choose for the job.. I think it would be more interesting if you were Ann Francke's agent and you could choose the City player who had to kick balls at her. Francke is made to stand up with hands tied behind her back on the goal line. The chosen City player, current or past, has 3 balls in which to kick at her from anywhere within the D. This means in order to hit her, the ball will have to be struck with power. I know if I was her agent, I'd go for the obvious as I would want her not to be hit. Junior!

I was actually thinking of this from a different angle Reg. I find it a rather foul coincidence that someone named Anne Franck, on Holocaust Day, would care to come out with comments suppressing freedom of speech. Obviously it’s not her fault she has a similar sounding name to Anne Frank, but I’m sure she is aware of this similarity. I’m minded to showing more ire toward this woman for suggesting such horseshit, on such a poignant day, than to a few ill-timed gags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
