From what we have seen, she merely held personal views - as we are entitled to - expressed them on 'social media' - a dangerous thing to do now, apparently, but did not go round the ground espousing them - but the FA for some reason think that is not acceptable. What clowns run it?

Indeed. It’s very weird. I’d assumed that she’d been winding people up inside the ground, which might well be reason to ban her. But, as far as I can see, she’s just been tweeting.

 

If Wednesday banned every racist/misogynist/transphobic tweeter using their hashtag, there would be nobody left to attend games.

I’d just like to join the hang ‘em and flog ‘em anti-woke brigade for the day.

Is that ok?

 

This is absolutely bonkers. I assumed that she’d done something else and was conflating two issues, but no, it’s just absolute madness.

Welcome aboard.

 

It took a while but eventually folk are coming around.

Because I believe they are violent and cause much distress for the unfortunate victims.

So everyone else has to bow down to them - they are allowed to dictate for everyone else? No!

Exactly - personal opinions, which most of us accept are the individuals right to hold - even if we don't agree with them. Did the lass in the original article go round the ground shouting out that personal opinion?

I doubt it - she presumably, like the vast majority, went to watch the game, not get involved in some strange 'discussion'.

Who refuses to have friends who hold different views from them? What kind of a boring existence would we lead if we all conformed to the same thinking? It's what separates humanity from the other animals. Animals all more or less behave in the same way, any of them that differ slightly are considered highly unusual and become the subject of study.

Humans are varied in our likes, dislikes and personal opinions. I support no particular political party and am sceptical of all of them, I'm a republican, an agnostic and support the Blades.

I've close friends and family members who are Conservative, Labour, Fein Gael and Fianna Fáil.  Some are religious, some are monarchists and some are even Wednesdayites. They're family and friends before all else. Obviously, they're all misguided and I'm right, but I'm also magnanimous and I like them. It's what makes the world go round.

Couldn't have put it better myself, @m williamson.  I was going to post something similar, although more closely related to the original post in this topic myself, but you have saved me the trouble - thanks.

That's what we all say Tom, however...

 

Once you manage to wriggle free of the endless protests and fake clutching of pearls, release your feet from the sticky floor of permanent outrage you will open the door to a whole new world, or should I say old world..... You will actually meet people who can tell you what a man or a woman is,!!

 

We understand that this can come as a shock to the newbies, especially our left leaning brethren so we have a special room allocated for such folk where you can feel safe in your normal surroundings, offering craft beer at 9 pounds per pint, a complimentary Guardian newspaper and folk with blue and pink hair just screaming at everything and everyone. 

 

You will then be transported to the main area where common sense prevails, you will find people talking in an adult manner with calm and understanding of other people's views, it's rather fascinating as this was thought extinct since the left wing jack Dorsey gave us twitter.

 

We understand fully that it's not for everyone, a few radicals have absconded the last one being Eddie/Shirley/Eddie/Shirley Izzard who ran off shouting " Remain, Remain" they will listen to me!

We fear the worst for Ms/M/Mrs Izzard.

 

We look forward to having you.
