So the Bolton manager has had to come out and apologise for telling his goalkeeper after he made a mistake to 'man up' Please tell me what type of world we are now living in when this makes the BBC news.
This was then compounded by Micha Richards who is now the BBC sports and medical expert saying "The phrase 'man up' we don't like to hear - especially with everyone's mental health at the moment and what is happening around the world. Is he serious. Or is it just my age !
What annoys me most is that these comments cannot help the people who are suffering from real mental health problems. This was just a manager of a football club telling one of his players he needs to do better end of story. Why bring mental health issues into it.
What can we do to stop this stupid political correctness.

Rather outdated viewpoint there.
I don't believe an apology was required but a correction to the language used to avoid stigmatising any group is surely so little to ask that it doesn't warrant any complaints.

In fitba.lmao
Are you at the wum?
Women tell women to man up.
Weird woke world the noo.
No clapping or singing as you may scare student fans, next.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You old dunderheids would have been opposing womens rights to vote if you had been about at the time too.
Lets stand in the way of progress because we're old and bitter and don't want things to be better than when we had them.
What about my big bloated red face and my fat white erse, what about me.

Stuart Pearce said Hate inspired him in football.
Not sure about going that far, but in sport it's about winning as well as having fun

Us young ones with our bloody empathy and thoughtfulness.

Haha, yea,I get that, but in fitba and sport it's best, fastest, hardest, toughest mind and body takes all.
But, mental health and thoughtfulness are important too, petal.
Only kiddin, HB
Don't have strong opinion

Disagree, look at Gazza, Best and Maradona.
Fragile minds, fantastic feet.

Maybe it is why he is managing Bolton and that's about the level for these types of old school English managing styles. Being a cant only gets you so far these days. Managers at higher levels know how to manage players individually to get the best out of them.

Rather angry reaction and debate tactic
Are you not meant to be progressive and nicer than the evil old Gammon you reference?
I mean, you sound just like those you oppose.
Or was it wum

adversity is part of life. there are some who can deal with it, others who cannot and others who seek to milk it.
Society is becoming far too precious and the lines between genuine mental health issues and the rest is so. blurred that I could literally call my boss tomorrow saying I'm.stressed and cannot cope with my difficult job and be signed off for weeks and watch everythjng on netflix while being paid in full.

The first person I'll tell to man up is myself.
Next, I'll tell all the wusses out there to man up.
