Gary Neville also voices his political opinion on Twitter as does the climate preaching  Gary Lineker who travels all over the world.  I am sure everyone can choose not to agree with a persons opinion but does that give their employers a reason to sack them @!james? 

I think the difference is these two, even if there is hypocrisy in their words are voicing facts and intelligent opinion. MLT is consistently spouting dangerous and niche conspiracy theories

It’s concerning if you don’t know how to check if a quote is real or not yourself

Massive issue with the world right now. I don’t think snopes.com extends to Roy Keane quotes, but it’s quite clearly and quite obviously fake. Along with a lot of serious issue nonsense that people just lap up

ironically they are normally the ones who tell people to “wake up”

Not a chance in hell that crosses anyone's mind 

I've seen lots of random things blamed on various political parties in the politics section of this forum but this is one of the best 

not on a conscious level, but the “general feeling” of the country starts by what those at the top are doing and filters down

sadly, at the moment that’s self entitlement, selfishness and law breaking

the world generally going to shite probably also not helping.

I think it’s a combination of the above, fame and social media culture and the fact going to the football at the moment - more than before seems to be very much a SESH thing for some people (drink and drugs)

Not really LGBTQ 

You've responded though

Didn’t bait you or rise to you just suggested it’s off topic. Which it is

how is what you said related to a footballer declaring his homosexuality.

Its pronoun crazy at senior schools in bristol at the moment it seems. 13 year old Girls identifying as boys and calling themselves they is relatively normal

Its good to push it to an extent however,  I'm wondering being that young that they dont really understand and this may cause mental health issues down the road.

Again, totally different discussion and off topic

And what exactly do you mean by that? that your opinion is somehow more correct because you are younger, age does not change the facts of the matter and I have no need to educate myself about anything, saying I wouldn't feel comfortable undressing in front of somebody of my own sex who I knew found other men attractive (not necessarily me by the way) to me is perfectly understandable it's your opinion I find strange, perhaps it's your age and generation that have different thoughts on the subject that doesn't make you any more right or me wrong.

I hate to tell you this.. but if you have used a public pool, you've probably undressed in front of a gay man and probably still in their w*nkbank

Honestly i am not equating a MAP with being gay. I obviously know the difference.  

The only similarity I can see with this is someone is being open with their preferred sexuality…

I am simply asking what would be the response if a footballer came out as openly being a MAP?

 

its an interesting question, for wider society but its inclusion in this topic you have to admit is a little dodgy and provocative. A sexual interest in minors clearly has nothing to do with hetro or homosexuality of consenting adults.

first time ive heard of the term MAP but I have heard of the condition before and do genuinely feel sorry for people who have these inclinations as they need help but to liken it to..

..actually do you know what its a stupid question and doesn't need a response. I tried.

I knew this would get a reaction, again I will say I'm sure some of the players feel the same way but judging by the reaction my sincere question has raised it seems you can't dare say anything these days which is a shame. 

I think the reaction is probably fairly judged to the lunacy of the question

35 minutes ago, Lewisdabaron said:

Just putting it out there to see what the response would be if a player came out as a MAP, without committing any illegal act.
Would being an open MAP also be classed as being brave & something we should celebrate, in the same way as coming out as gay?

Please god let you be trolling

Someone like Jordon should sit and listen with an open mind as to why it’s so important. Listen to gay peoples opinion on it with an open mind and a willingness to actually understand.  

Yeh no willingness at all was there, very uncomfortable

I can see Jordans point of view, I think he's trying to say it shouldn't be an issue, but Jordan is a mouthy dickcheese and shouldn't be given the platform he is on, 

Completely agree and for the vast majority of people it isn’t an issue. However there are taboos to break in football for sure.. while this guy is not a world or even local superstar yet he is in the public eye, so he probably felt he could not live his life without a ‘coming out’ because otherwise it would be done for him while he was just trying to be himself away from football and maybe not in the way he would have liked. You wouldn’t bat an eyelid twice at a black player now but that was not the case before, same with a player who just happens to be gay. They are just starting that journey now in industry where meaningful or causal homophobia is still rife

tolerated Jordan before as some of his insight into running a club has been interesting but that was summit else 

Wow did anyone just hear Simon Jordan going off on this? Bizarre 

undoubtably just trying to be contrary but he went in two footed on fashnus niece who was on the show to celebrate this brave move

jordan was trumpeting “I don’t care if he’s gay, it’s his business why do we need to know?” Which was pretty upsetting to listen to.

perfect world, this isn’t a thing of course but for that knob to fail to understand why this is a brave and important thing to do in the sphere of football is absolutely maddening

Don't be ridiculous.

FGR are an infinitely higher quality.

Is that the only metric? And is it true?

physicality will always be a difference so will always be hard to truly compare quality (I presume you mean likelihood of winning a head to head) nor does anyone really need to find that out

a club the size of Chelsea (as a combined entity as well) along with what the woman’s team compete for in their competitions means it absolutely would be a step down to take charge of FGR for a coach of her standing

You watch whatever floats your boat and stay ready with the ‘I’m offended banner’

 FGR  a step down .....

Yeah ok

 

nothing about what I have said indicates I am offended, you’ve not hurt me I just find your ignorance and pettiness, real or otherwise to be remarkable. Against my better judgement I always try to put forward reasonable arguments to try and at least reduce some of the subjugation in the world but I know piers Morgan probably tell you that is somehow reducing your human rights

Even if you are just trolling I am incredibly sad for you.

*replaced bigotry with subjugation

although often two sides of the time the needless comments ALWAYS thrown in on this forum when the woman’s game is even causally mentioned contribute to the continued subjugation of woman in a desperate attempt to maintain the status quo, surely we can all agree there is no place for that in 2022

And here they come.

Chelseas Women’s Team are not ‘one of the best teams in the world’ whatever way you want to spin it - quite simple really

If you or anyone else enjoys women’s football , or the many who enjoy playing it - great 

But to compare the two ........... yeah ok then  

boxing. Flyweight, middleweight, etc etc.. they all have the best in the world in their classes but you’d never discredit one weight class against another because they have their differences but it’s same game at the end of the day. 
Chelsea woman’s are one of the best teams in the world, and have a chance at winning anything they are in - FGR mens team is a step down for her but there is more at play here than that
 

I fear you are most likely to old to do so

however

I know the world is really scary these days but grow up mate.

Not one of the ‘best teams in the world then ‘

one of the best women’s teams maybe

It was entirely implied that he was referring to the best woman’s team but why you felt compelled to go out of your way to point that out is beyond all comprehension but not unexpected from some people on this forum every time the unspeakable thought of woman playing football is raised

Nedum Onuaha has been brilliant on the podcasts I've heard him on. 

If your referring to guardian football weekly then he is superb on that, would like to see them add a few more ‘head screwed on’ ex pros to their rotation like nedum to compliment the top contributors they have. Lars sivertson and philippe Auclair in particular are brilliant. If UK tv wasn’t so obsessed with names there are plenty of reporters out there who would do 10x the job on analysis rather than the glib rubbish we see most of the time

Fair play to them, that result last week was incredible. Scunthorpe were down and out and facing non league, likely going to lose all the senior players from this year and surely good riddance to them as they have performed so poorly, nothing to play for for them why not field the kids

FGR, Exeter and rovers into league 1. Good for the SW

when we have been an established championship club bar two season for the last 14 years why waste the time getting salty I have no idea

although their manager really should be in jail
