Several gins are usually good for sleep, or is that for slurring my words and falling over? I get so confused.
Sports forums shouldn't be dangerous places for women. You've done a great job with this site ...... but there is much more to do, not the least of which is broadening its appeal ..... so that women (or other forum minorities) never end up feeling as you do. Please stay.
Gender, race, sexuality etc. shouldn't be relevant behind a keyboard, but because they are, and for that very reason, I'm open that I'm a gay man. Women can know about football, have opinions, play the game .... organise websites, moderate idiots etc. Gay men can too. I was a good footballer, played both codes of rugby well and a fair cricketer for a start. I'm not Kenneth Williams and I bet you're not Martina Navratilova just because you love sport. But given half a chance we'd be stereotyped .....
Look at it this way, at least you didn't have to come out that you were a woman. It took me until I was 39 to come out and my mum reciprocated by telling me the budgie escaped when I was 9 and she replaced it with an identical green one. We love you and respect you and worst of all we need you not to leave.
Anyone who quotes Miss Davis, and I think you'll find this is actually a law, can't leave unless it is agreed by 75% of the membership in a secret ballot. So you're stuck with us. I'm not sure I'm helping you sleep .......
Can't we just beat the shit out of them like real football fans? I categorically did not say that!
