PortyBeach Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Bit of a non-story, surely? I’m sure we’ve all seen more condescending/patronising comments aimed at fellow posters on these threads than anything Rodgers has said in this exchange.

Rampant Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 1 hour ago, Sleepy head said: Being interested in the lighter things in life is hardly trivial but getting your y fronts in a twist about a trivial remark most definitely is in my opinion. You didn't say anything about getting "y fronts in a twist" - your question was to anyone simply engaging in a debate about this. Some people find this conversation stimulating, see it as an opportunity to learn about society and think about how it might develop. But the opinion you expressed was that people shouldn't bother discussing it because, amongst other things, there might be a new war about to start. You mentioned a revolution in our way of living too, as if our way of life isn’t actually constantly evolving, whilst littered with the occasional leap forward, a revolution. These leaps probably start by people simply talking about how things are. Feel free to think that should be stifled if you must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimp Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Sounded more patronising than sexist to me. Probably a little p*ssed off with the line of questioning and that was his way of showing he'd had enough of her badgering him for an answer she most likely knew the answer to. Maybe not wise but either way it's really not a big deal and will rightfully be forgotten about soon. It's not the first time a manager has been patronising towards a reporter when they feel they feel they're being asked stupid questions, it happens all the time in football so not sure why this has been made into such a huge fuss.

The person asking the questions is a female. Remember Walter Smith with Chick Young in the tunnel at Ibrox? Jim McLean with John Barnes? Alex Ferguson with any number of journalists you care to mention? Rodgers wasn't sexist or anything else, apart from being rude. People again trying to make mountains out of molehills.

Even big Ange was a condescending and patronising git towards reporters when he was at Celtic (and still is) when he feels he's being asked a daft question. You're right, rude is probably as far as you'd go with it, he's hardly called her something awful or been downright nasty. Folk need to get off their high horse and relax a little, it's pathetic.

Correct, the only person who can be offended by his comments, Jane Lewis hasn't made anything of it yet every man, woman and dog has suddenly gotten offended on her behalf and all while using ageist terms like dinosaur towards Brenda.
