Sexist,moi?: Albion Rovers, of the Scottish third division, lost at the weekend. Nothing unusual in that, other than that, hilariously, Rovers manager Peter Hetherston, laid the blame squarely at the feet of the referees assistant, and stated she should have been at home cooking tea. He has a point, I have yet to meet a woman who quite understands the offside rule. Should women officiate in male professional sports ?

The only point he has is the one at the top of his head. I can't recall any instance where my penis gave me special insight into the rules of sporting events. Does yours?

Yes, it does, it is a very intelligent penis.

My cock refereed the 1970 World Cup final

The Swiss pro league and UEFA appear to have no problems with at least one woman referee. And now we get this comment from a country where men wear skirts. Perhaps Hetherton's kilt was too tight or his codpiece too heavy. btw, my cock works in pubic relations.

Did I misspell something?

There's nothing wrong with women refereeing in sports. People shouldn't blame losses on officials anyhow, since it's usually the team that sucked, not the zebras. My penis, btw, graduated magna cum laude from MIT. Finding the right size mortarboard was a bitch.

Cooking tea? I know they have some rough cuisine in Scotland, but really.

Kippers, probably.

Don't you dare try to show us anything bill. ;-) The bloke's an arse, there's nothing wrong with women officiating football games (as long as they can demonstrate that they understand all the rules, like any other ref'). I'd rather not discuss my penis' intellect, but will go as far as to say that when I go to the lav I refer to it as "shaking hands with the unemployed".

The idea of someone being worse than the typical scottish official is pretty fucking mind blowing.

Is he an arse? or a knob?

Hm. This looks like it might have been cleaned up after the fact to prevent troll bait. I'll just keep walking... You suppose Rover's any relation to this guy?

My penis is a terrorist.

Wow ... I never thought of it that way. I wondered what that little bastard was doing up all hours of the night ...
