It's 'wendyball' and who gives a to55

Given the nature of this thread, it's probably best you don't fully explain the structure behind that comment.

Clearly the OP

I'm not a football fan and don't visit the football thread.

You’re all the better for it.

wendyball - what 'rugger buggers' call football

Yep, I know exactly what it is, and I also know what it implies, which is why I suggested you'd be as well not to try to explain the details, given the nature of this thread.

Personally I find 'wendyball' a more offensive term than 'Hun' but there we go.

It's not a term I use to describe Rangers' fans, likewise I don't bother calling the side 'Sevco' or 'Newco' or whatever. For whatever it's worth, Killie fans are routinely treated to the chant "You're just Huns without a bus pass".

I dunno where I'm really going with this meander, but questionable language and attitudes are an unfortunate part of football (and lets be honest, all professional sport, but football is in the spotlight because of its popularity) at times, and rightly gets called out.

that's quite sexist in its own right tbh

Apologies if my post caused any offence. I’m somewhat bemused by the attention it’s got. The word has been explained in the context so will leave it at that.

That’s the wrong approach. Never apologise, never explain. Have you learned nothing?

You should be sticking to your guns, followed by a big flounce about all the woke stuff.

Did think about it but life’s too short ! Was some banter between myself and another . Never invited anyone else in to take offence but their ya go !

'Bagpuss'?

I do like it when people come on threads about football to say they don't care about it.

I wasn't going to say that, but if it makes you happy:

I don't care about football.

There, I've said it.

I care about Professor Yaffle.

Damn right he should!

If people get any more lilly-livered round here, I'm out.
