Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

Don't mind Morrison myself. He has the feel of a fan watching a game with no agenda, similar to but not as entertaining as Micah Richards.

I'd take more people like this and less corporate bores personally.

Yep I've got to say I've enjoyed Clinton Morrison

Yes, and all of those are wrong but here, specifically in this case, a professional pundit said something quite ridiculous and has been pulled up on it. Nothing else. Leeds response did not mention gender and it is impossible to say whether they would or wouldn’t have responded in exactly the same way had the pundit spouting that nonsense was a man. Criticise the follow on tweets by all means if they are in any way misogynistic or abusive but the Leeds one wasn’t and they surely have a right of reply.

They do, but they also have a large platform and do bear some responsibility for the responses it creates. Personally I wouldn’t want Everton doing this to any pundits as it’s a bit childish and stinks of ladbible at best.

Clinton Morrison.
As he cannot string a sentence together I have no idea why he is regularly a Sky pundit.

One of my faves him. Used by the BBC, TS and Sky.

Think he is excellent.

I like that people have different opinions, it's more interesting.
Do we agree that Garth Crooks is a buffoon?

Cant beat Lee Hendrie especially when he has his earrings in and hair gelled.

Proper lad

So it’s the manner of the response that offends rather than the principle?

I think it's time to call a halt to the season now.
Football is just not that important. Stop the season
until the vaccine is rolled out in a couple of months or so
and then recommence. I really am not bothered about football
to much these days. Much more important stuff going on.

We all know we’re just waiting for him to say “it was a fookin’ great goal”. Oops sorry Gary and everyone

Not necessarily, I’d argue it’s more the fact that it’s A. An incredibly petty thing to do for a premier league club. And B. Was always going to provoke this kind of response as virtually any mention of women in football gets met by this kind of response.

It’s a case of cause and effect. Leeds can, and seemingly have doubled down on it, personally I think doubling down on it and not apologising and removing the tweet, despite the vile abuse it’s caused is tasteless.

Whether intentionally or not, those tweets have caused KC horrific abuse and Leeds should recognise this and maybe apologise and not do it in future.

Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 Fulham: Ivan Cavaleiro earns a point for Premier League strugglers

Ivan Cavaleiro's late header earns Premier League strugglers Fulham a hard-fought draw against Tottenham in their hastily rearranged London derby.

www.bbc.co.uk

Fulham's Premier League match at Tottenham on Wednesday has been called off because of new coronavirus cases at the west London club.

The fixture was due to kick-off at 18:00 GMT at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

WE STAY 4TH!

REJOICE!

So, in future KC (usually an excellent pundit) and other female pundits could, on rare occasion, say something equally ridiculous (not because they are women, but because they are mistaken, ill informed or any number of things a male pundit could equally be) and no response (from the offended party) would be appropriate because they are women?

Liverpool tier 3 so no fans for next game
