I never mentioned athletics or any other sport, the discussion is about football.

Well done to them, a great result. Hope they win the tournament.

Would you boo them taking a knee in the final?

If you're not interested and nothing will convince you to watch it, why do you want the highest level of women athletes to have their media coverage reduced?

Watch from 1:06 - A fantastic cross leading to Beth Mead's header followed by some fancy footwork before scoring again. If Ross Stewart did that, it would be wall to wall jizz in here. As a woman did it, it's subpar? 🤷‍♀️

Mead was on another level last night. Absolutely superb.

Am I a saint for wanting an end to inequality and racism?

What is woke to you?

You won’t answer

Woke is being aware of injustices in the world. It's about trying to be the best person you can be. it doesn't mean that every statement made is correct or sensible or must be accepted. Is that an answer?

No I wouldn't boo them. My knuckles only brush the floor they don't drag. I've commebnted previously about taking the knee, I see it as an empty gesture that did as much bad as good and serves little purpose. But it's too late to change now.

Would you boo Sunderland not taking the knee?

I don’t boo. Too much effort

I would report incedents of racist comments though. Would you?

So Floyd Mayweather is not one of the best boxers as he would get beaten by the heavy weights?

Do they have to qualify absolutely everything? Laura Kenny is one of the most decorated olympic athletes in UK athletics history so she is one of the best track cyclists. So how many of those medals to we have to discount because she wouldn't beat Chris Hoy or her husband Jason Kenny?

In boxing the term ‘pound for pound’ is used to determine who’s the best as it’s obvious the heavyweight champion of his time will always be the best.

Like I’ve said, more than once, the Olympic medal table has always been combined, an exception to the rule if you like. Perhaps because men and women compete against each other to win the medals.

If I was asked who the greatest footballer, golfer, tennis player, cricketer of all time I’d always say a male. I‘d have to be asked who the greatest womens footballer, golfer, tennis player for me to name a female as they’re separate sports.

Pound for pound, yes he is.

I keep getting questions and alerts

I answered your question, darts, snooker and tennis are 3 sports both sexes compete against each other

It wasn’t a question and I didn’t say compete against each other at all.

Dont say that you‘re out and then carry on, makes you look a bit daft.
