I wanted to make a thread entitled 'Rob Wotton is a cock' but it's probably best that I don't.

But seriously, Rob Wotton is a cock.

This interview has converted me into a staunch Republican.

Good job done there tbf, held her to account for some obviously very inapproriate and offensive conduct.

His line of questioning is both condescending and incredibly ignorant. I'm assuming you're not Irish.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Nothing'll learn the pesky Irish more than a smug English man, with a clear lack of knowledge of history, condescending an apologetic Irish woman. We've certainly learned our lesson.

They'll never rest until we apologise for what they did to us.

I'm waiting for the Declan Rice apology.

 

[Sweet Square]

Don't back down, double down.

No. In full context it was the wrong tone, representative of a dynamic that still resonates painfully. Not to mention the hypocrisy around the issue of education regarding our shared history.

 

[McGrathsipan]

fecking Sky Sports can feck off.

Blowing this out of all proportion.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Won't be a peep when McClean is abused again anyway so we can just wait for that and it will all have blown over for the girls in green.

Jesus. What a smug, odious prick. Hats off to her (should know her name but don’t) she handled that superbly.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Democratic Unionist Party MLA David Hilditch has now lodged a complaint with Police Scotland over the matter.

In a statement, the East Antrim MLA said he has written to Police Scotland, UEFA and the FAI regarding the players’ actions, which he described as “repulsive scenes.”

"Unfortunately this is becoming an all too common occurrence, a team wins a trophy or qualifies for a tournament and their first thought is to chant about a terrorist organisation" said Mr Hilditch.

"We have seen it numerous times in the past and no doubt we will see it again in the future. An apology doesn't cut it. There are countless victims of IRA terrorism in both Northern Ireland and the Republic who will be rightly disgusted by the actions of this group of women who are supposed to be representing their country."

The DUP MLA continued to say he hoped sporting body UEFA is “sitting up and taking note” of the players’ actions.

"If this were a team chanting about Al-Qaeda or Hamas there would be wide spread uproar and the team would most likely be expelled from the tournament. This is no different, but will we see action? I doubt it."

He added he believes the FAI should “withhold the players’ match fees” and donate them to a victims’ charity.

This wanker can get in the sea an’ all.

At it again.

 

[cyberman]

Why the feck is she brought on to Sky Sports for this anyway?

 

[KiD MoYeS]

I can only assume it is because Sky is the official sponsor of the Irish ladies team.

 

[moses]

Letting her near Sky, being who they are was a huge mistake. Issue an apology and explain it to RTE and stfu.

Well you get what you're paid for then..

And they turned off commenting on the tweet. People are posting about it on every other tweet since instead.

What an absolute A Hole

 

[Oranges038]

The real idiot is the person who records that and then releases it to anyone outside the room.

 

[MayfieldsFinest]

The irony of an Englishman speaking of someone needing education on Britain and Ireland's history.

 

[Champ]

What an absolute prat, do you think you need education on this? On their own countries history? I doubt it you idiot

 

[DatIrishFella]

This is amazing. The absolute cheek of that Sky Sports cnut.

Are you responding to me?

Up the RA!

Yup. Which is why her response was so good/brave. She was in damage limitation mode but still refused to lie down for that bit of nonsense. Good on her.

Glad she said no to that question. She must have been raging.
