Quoted from KingstonMariner
I’d be very surprised if any offence was meant by use of the term ‘girl’ in the OS article. It often isn’t but it’s how it’s received that counts. Sometimes the person who is subject to bias (whether conscious or unconscious) is not in a comfortable position to call it out themselves. So there is an onus on other people to call it out when they see it. But then how the ‘calling out’ is done can also be a sensitive issue.

Personally I’m not sure ‘girl’ in this context is offensive. We do refer to ‘lads’ or ‘boys’ when we’re talking or singing about men’s teams. I’d be interested in any views from female footballers on the subject.

I agree with Golly in that political correctness is about good manners and sensitivity (I know I can be an insensitive git at times). Call it what you like, but it’s much better than political incorrectness.


Confusing times for everyone and sensitivity is key. I met three old school pals this week for a hike in Derbyshire. Two are rather  quiet and reserved. We shook hands. The guy who organised our get together embraced all of us in his usual style, which is fine by me. When he greets my wife she feels slightly uncomfortable as she has only met him a few times. Hugging is not normal for a formal greeting in Hillsborough. I've often wondered what our heroes such as Tony Rees and Livvo would make of the huddles and 'pile ons' todays players indulge in. Perhaps they all sign consent forms?

This is the most cringe-worthy thread I've seen on here in a while.

That's a cracking start to life as a team.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Yeah, that does sound a bit too much.  

I can remember the older generation moaning about hugging and kissing goal celebrations in the 70s. Buckley's team's response was a bit of throw back to an earlier age. Quick handshake and jog back to your own half for the re-start. Mr Cholmedley-Warner and Grayson would have approved.

To be fair to Grayson, it took the pros a few years before they were consistently beating the amateurs. Corinthian Casuals are still 12-6 up on aggregate against Manchester United

I went to this match (the 2004 one cheeky gets) - my mate (a Town and CCFC fan) was the one who wrote to Alec Ferguson to suggest a rematch of the 1904 game. Flipping hot day. Fortunately had lots of cold liquids to help with the heat .
