Is where you stick your todger really relevant to playing football?

If you put it closer to the goal line than the ball and the second-last opposing player then you're offside, I s'pose.

Only if it's interfering with play though.

If you don't get it then you most probably don't get football.

If you don't get it then you most probably don't get football. By definition a working man's game where the humour is 'rougher' and you don't show weakness.

There's nothing to 'get' as far as I can see. I just meant, it's interesting that out of nearly half a million professional players worldwide, none are openly gay.

Justin Fashanu (sp?)

was until he hung himself.

There have also been a few other high profile outings but I cannot recall any of them of top of my head.

No? What's all that rolling about and squealing in agony like little girls then?

I think they're called metrosexuals. I don't actually know what that means.

Nor me. Perhaps it's an anagram.

That's cheating (or football as it's also known).

Playground bullying is a fair definition of how many fans behave.

Meanwhile, elsewhere:

The Justin Campaign was founded to demonstrate that ten years after Justin Fashanu’s tragic suicide in 1998, homophobia is still hugely prevalent in the world of professional football.

The Justin Campaign seeks to challenge the stereotypes and misconceptions that exist around gay & bisexual men & women in football and work towards a future where the visibility of gay and bisexual men in professional football are both accepted and celebrated.
