Rods Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 People overreacting in the name of woke as per. The real story should be how the Lino handled the situation. No histrionics not running to the ref unlike the probable response of her male colleagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly agree that she handled it well despite her obvious discomfort.

Some people need to look at the entire episode : he verbally abused the official and THEN he put his hand on her neck. Something he would never have done to a male official. But , yeah, "mole hills".

been here before Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 The story should be that he shouldnt be man (?person)handling the officials in the first place, male or female. Anything else is just shite deflecting from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sort of nonsense story delects from the argument. Agreed. To my understanding a player must never put a hand on a official. (Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.) Therefore he is in the wrong. If the touch had been on him from a defender waiting while waiting for a corner perhaps, would the response have resembled a sack of potatoes.

AlimOzturk Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 People making something out of this should question if they would even have batted an eye lid if this was a male official. He maybe should have been booked for his verbal against the official but for putting his arm on her - naw. He has already been cleared as it is not against the rules to touch officials if not in a aggressive manner. There was **** all creepy about it either.

I said it was idle chit chat and that it was disappointing the media had given time to it when there are real issues far more worthy of coverage. if it was verbal abuse of a male official and inappropriate touching of a male official would the media be devoting any time to it at all? Nobody knows if Aguero would have reacted in the same way if it was a male. Male officials have certainly been touched by players in the past.
