Fuck right off. 

The FA have admitted that she was the victim of racism, they’ve also admitted that another player was at the same time, but all you can offer is “She did an effective job of calling out racism, and she shouldn’t have done that.”

What should victims of racism do - shut the fuck up and accept it?

I would never use the FA to be the standard bearers for actual racism in any case.

The FA weren’t the standard bearers. They repeatedly denied the racism, until there was a proper outside investigation. Then they apologised.

Imo Barton is just an attention seeking, band wagon jumping dickhead. He's an irrelevance, good, stay that way.

 

I have no issue with women in football either, but let's be real, women's football is shite, the world champions would get trashed by a pissed up Sunday league side, and although the vast majority of women pundits and commentators are fucking pathetic, so too are the vast majority of male pundits and commentators.

I agree with most of that, except the bit I've put in bold, which, with respect, is a load of steaming shit mate. It's a different game from the man's game but it's not shite at all. Just because you don't like something, that doesn't make it shite.

It is a bit shite though...

The standard is low and were there a men's game of similar standard on telly very few people would watch it. I don't really understand the reluctance to admit as much. 

 

Who is the best women's team in the world? Barcelona or Wolfsburg? They'd both get absolutely obliterated by a mid table Isthmian league side. And that's fine, who cares? 

 

Women's cricket suffers from the same thing of having to pretend everything is great. It isn't. I can fucking see the speed gun clocking the bowlers at speeds I regularly face in club cricket. I can see the boundaries having to be brought in 25 yards because women literally couldn't hit the ball far enough to score any fours or sixes on a full size pitch.

 

The same is the case with women's football. Decent techniques, pretty good standard in the middle third of the pitch. Utter shit in either penalty box, and a complete lack of intensity to games.
