You have to get the full context of what he said.
In what way did he say the word that rhymes with bike?
Don't even know if he did or not.
If he just said 'f... you you're a lazy incompetent chairwoman' I don't care. Even if he shouted.
But if he called her a d.... then I care.
And I don't care about him shouting at the players unless he was shouting at them using racial, sectarian or homophobic slurs.
Football is all about shouty managers, just like showbiz is all about shouty diva type managers. If they don't like that bit of it, they need to step out of the limelight, become social workers or something.
I just hate the use of slurs if he used them on an out lesbian. I think Dempsey is out (openly lesbian). If not then she's still really obviously butch and there's sexism involved against gender non conforming women.
If he said it then he said 'you're coming across like an incompetent d...'*
I can't imagine it though.
And no I haven't had the picture on my wall for a year or so. My thing was 'this art print cost a lot of money so as soon as he leaves Hibs I'm putting it back up unless he joins another SPL club'
It feels weird having other clubs' managers on the wall for obvious reasons.
*I've lived in the English midlands, there are times when saying that word isn't offensive but it's usually something like 'I was walking down the dyke and then I crossed over the bridge of the dyke'. Not calling people it. Bit like the f.. word can mean a cigarette. He wasn't calling her a stream.
And thanks Ferris for actually saying who it is so I can actually address this fully instead of tiptoeing around it.
