I - as a man - have no interest at all in the offside rule, and although i know vaguley what it means, i could not confirm my knowledge with any certainty.
My wife, youngest daughter, and mother-in-law - all season ticket holders for the mighty Stoke City can explain the rule with lucidity - because it is of interest to them.
The fact is - any rule of any game is only of interest to people who follow that game - and of course the officials, who must know and apply the rule regardless of gender.
Messrs. Gray and Keys were busy being 'laddish' off-air, and no doubt such nonsense is spouted all the time, supposedly in private. Witness Ron Atkinson's career-obliterating observation about the mental capcity / ethnicity of a player which was picked up, although off-air.
As it turns out, the maligned lady not only understands the law, she applied it as required - and Messrs. Keys and Gray should apologise to her - and to Karen Brady who was another innocent reecipient of their 'wit and wisdom'. Given ms. Brady's position within the football fraternity, and her known intolerance for such shenanigins, that would be better delivered sooner rather than later - a visit from her to the Sky studios would not end well for the 'gentlemen' concerned!
