Seems a New Year has a habit of unearthing football Neanderthals. Last January it was Andy Gray and Richard Keys unceremoniously being shown to the exit by Sky Sports having been ruthlessly exposed as serial sexists. With any luck the same fate will be visiting this years candidate for most retarded chauvinist - Paul Jewell the Ipswich Town manager.
Last night his team lost a game which was all the fault of a referees assistant who happened to be a woman. She failed to alert the referee to a nailed on Ipswich penalty according to Jewell.
When a journalist at a post match press conference said to Jewell, "I think everyone to a man thought that was a penalty", Jewell replied "Unfortunately to every man but not to a woman"
Jewell obviously doesn't do apologies not even the insincere crap normally crafted by a solicitor.
Instead he came out with this, "I didn’t suggest in any way that the official made a mistake because she was a woman. I don’t think what I said was sexist and will argue all day long with anyone that says it is"
