Probably asking for trouble here but I fail to see why he had to apologise for that comment

No doubt the SJWs were out in force and kicked up a furor.

Me either. If anything he was being kind because if Rovers played a ladies team they would of won by more than 5.
No doubt it will cause more outrage as per usual

He's been sacked now anyway. Although I think that's more likely down to him being a crap manager than anything else.

Cant be that crap, higher than us in the league In the last 10 games we've got 4 more points than they have. In the last 6 games they've got 6 points, or double our points if you prefer.

I've moved this post to the Shrews post match, as it doesn't feel good or make me smile.

Because it's sexist. And sexism is wrong (I keep having to remind people of that and it's depressing.)

Will have to agree to disagree on that. It's about as offensive as saying it was men v boys, which is what he probably should have said to avoid grief. He is on the dole now anyway so it's a dead story

I'm not trying to spark any kind of argument or anything.. I'm just wondering why that's sexist/offensive? Would that make the more well known phrase 'Men V Boys' ageist then? Just interested to hear other peoples views, that's all.

Fuckin' ell. Because the standard phrase is "Men v Boys", and Page is clearly looking for an extension of that, to say that even the standard "Men v Boys" doesn't cover how bad they were. So he reaches for the next level, worse than boys = girls, hence Men v Girls. Not saying it's hugely offensive in the grand scheme of things but come on, it's fairly fucking obvious why people would see this as being sexist, as the very clear implication of what he's said is that girls are lesser than boys. Genuinely can't believe people need this spelling out. Oh, and for the record I do agree it's a bit of a storm in a teacup and very much hope that it played no part in him losing his job. If he lost his job for poor results, fair enough, if this played any part in it, that's quite ridiculous

I wholeheartedly apologise for not seeing something that you saw as 'pretty fucking obvious'. Won't happen again, promise xx
