Rather outdated viewpoint there.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.

The OP getting so upset about a minor issue like this is why it exists in the first place. The media put out these stories as they know they will get clicks and a reaction, like the wound up OP. If people like the OP just man the fack up and stop getting so wound up about these things then they wouldn't exist. Man up!

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.

I think they just want to feel loved too

I think its just your old age that comes into if I'm totally honest. I will admit, coming through this generation where mental health and equality continues to be an ever pressing issue, there are times where I feel it is pedantic and that people use this "power" to their advantage in certain situations, that much I understand.

However, the message is clear and people know just how badly people are affected these days due to the influence of social media platforms and in fairness, the ability of people to speak out more about it. It's still not enough, but it is improving I feel. The term "man up" for me is one I was sceptical with at first in terms of how it relates to mental health, but then you think of women of all ages who look/read on social media to try and look a certain way or be a certain type of person because that's what brings attention.

I feel like the term "man up" is the same in principle. Asking a bloke of any age to be a certain type of way, when in theory there probably are many emotionally stressed men across the world who cannot "man up" because they are not that kind of person. Emotional men is something in the real world and always has been, telling somebody to "man up" isn't the solution either.

Should it have made the news? Probably not, maybe that's a bit extreme but I can see why it has been spoke about because the message needs to become clearer that these phrases need to be erased really.

Thank you for your interesting and articulate reply Average Fan. There is no way Richards had to mention mental health in this instance. You have to look at the context in which the term 'man up' was made before jumping to any conclusion. This manager I believe was just telling his keeper to improve he was using the quote man up to mean be stronger. Be more commanding. simple as that. Why people have to criticise is beyond 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

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.
