Ex-Staff Amy Cranston

[Eric Blair]

Just a big thank you for all that Any had done for the club

Yes, she is OUFC through and through. I’ll miss her which is a weird thing for a fan to say about a physio but it shows what an impact she has had. It’s a fantastic job she goes to and one she fully deserves and will smash. Great role model for my daughter. Hats off to you Amy.

 

[Eric Blair]

Absolutely. We need to give Our Amy a good send off. If she's walking around the pitch back to the dugout after treating one of the lads I want to see rapturous applause follow her round!!

This. Massively this.

 

[Leysboy]

Are you suggesting that he expressed an interest in Amy romantically?

Well I would! Wouldn’t you?

 

[Leysboy]

Not another one downing tools?!

Not our Amy. Adam Benson is a tool.

 

[Marston Road Yellow]

Well I would! Wouldn’t you?

We’re getting to that level now? Seriously.
She’s a professional woman who’s worked hard and done wonders in her role and you’ve baked it down to basically “I’d give her one!”

 

[QR]

Well I would! Wouldn’t you?

Bet she can't believe her luck. She luvs neanderthals.

Yep. Gross.

 

[Carpy]

Well I would! Wouldn’t you?

Come on, we're better than this surely

Maybe keep that to yourself next time

 

[Scotchegg]

There is a great opportunity to recognise a local girl who has worked hard to rise to the top of her game in a heavily male dominated industry, and has done so with humility and integrity. She is highly regarded by everyone across the entire club, and has done so much to promote women in football including her support with #HerGameToo.

And let's not forget that even away from the game she saved the life of a guy on the morning of our playoff final.

And what do we get on here? Some desperate point scoring from bullshit rumours from one poster and the disgusting "I'd give her one" from another.

It's shameful.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Well I would! Wouldn’t you?

There is one thing making up bullshit to want to be seen as ITK but this is a new level even for you.

 

[dickwalton1964]

The changes seem fair enough and I think the club have given a thorough enough explanation and gone in to as much detail as they need to. We don’t need to know anymore than what they’ve given us. It’s a great career move for Amy Cranston - any football related job at Manchester United has to be a step up for her and the chance to work within that environment will be a great experience.

 

[Leysboy]

Hold on a minute. I’ve not said I wanted to give her one.

Where have I said that?

I’ve said I would show an interest, but giving someone one, wasn’t what I was alluding too.

You’ve jumped the gun and made the assumption, and calling people names like Neanderthal is unacceptable!! How about your a Neanderthal??

I’ve wished her all the best in her future endeavours, and stand by that.

I will wait for the apologies, but I won’t hold my breath.

I bet Amy is so flattered that you would show an interest.

I’m sure she would take it as a massive compliment.

If you really think you deserve an apology for people not appreciating the sexist nature of your post then yes I would agree that you shouldn’t hold your breath.

 

[Marston Road Yellow]

Think the apologies need to come from you but I won’t hold my breath.
What you actually said was well I would wouldn’t you?

What would you do? Offer her a job based on the work she’s done at OUFC? No you sexualised her and whatever that meant it didn’t mean anything that was to do with her professional life.

Hell will freeze over before I apologise for calling out misogyny

Yes I would wouldn’t you, as in show an interest.

You jumped to the wrong conclusion, and assumed it was meant as something different.

You all jumped to the wrong conclusion, and got it completely wrong.

Nothing sexist in what I wrote at all.

 

[Emilio]

To play devil's advocate, I read Leysboy's post as more a "she's beautiful" than as anything crasser. However...

This is a place where we are discussing someone based upon their professional merits, as well as how they conduct themselves overall as a person (their commitment to various causes). I'm happy to give you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't intend your comment to be as lewd as others are taking it, but that said, please be aware of these sorts of comments going forward.

Ah, now that's where you went wrong.

The fact you are still trying to justify it only makes it worst.

How did you mean it if it wasn’t meant in a way where you sexualised Amy? Considering you’ve already said you meant it as you would take an interest in her. I’m pretty sure you didn’t mean that by asking her about her hobbies, what her favourite meal is etc.

 

[Marston Road Yellow]

Yes I would wouldn’t you, as in show an interest.

You jumped to the wrong conclusion, and assumed it was meant as something different.

To suggest that “I would” means anything other than what every bloke on here knows it means is a bit pathetic. Even from you.

More than that even if you did mean she’s lovely and I’d love to go on a date with her, what has that got to do with her job?

Just keep digging

Thank you sir.

That’s exactly how it was. Nothing lewd intended at all.

 

[headless_pnub]

This is such an embarrassing climb down and I’m absolutely here for it!

Maybe a women can exist in the world and people can discuss her job without anyone needing to chime in on her dateability status? How very ‘woke’

 

[Chippy]

Mods - Should all the posts in the trail being referred to since yest evening be deleted?. Including who meant what etc…?

It’s getting a bit embarrassing and cringe worthy all these being on here? Regardless of what was or wasn’t meant, the various discussions are not a good look for the forum

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Well I would! Wouldn’t you?

Bannable post that.

 

[SteMerritt]

I don't think our job here is to remove posts for that reason. @Carpy has mentioned the post isn't really on and a few of you have called out the comments. That, I think, shows the community here in a positive light.

The removal of posts is a very tricky area, and we have as a Mod team been called out on it in the past, and even called out for moving posts. It would get very easy for us to get sucked into removing what we as a team thought was insulting or uncalled for, and then get criticism from others who didn't feel the same way. We all have different levels of what we think is acceptable, if we get too involved with removing posts then I think a lot of people will just stop posting (and of course if we let it go too far the other way then the same will happen).

 

[BrockBuster]

Don't think it needs removing. Just shows Leysboy in his natural light.

In a completely unrelated point, to ignore a user on these forums you can click into their profile and select the 'Ignore' button.

Thank you sir.

Aye I read it in exactly the same way as @Emilio , but it doesn’t really put you in any better light.

Lewdness or not, the fact you felt you needed to comment on attractiveness on a discussion of a woman’s professional career and the excellent work that she’s done for the club is a) just deeply sad and b) something that women have to contend with every day in their careers. It’s not ok and if you can’t see that then you should educate yourself about it.

 

[Leysboy]

Bannable post that.

You are a very sad individual.

You should be banned, for trying to get someone banned. Grow up!

Anyway I’m busy at work, and have more important things to do, than look at Yellowsforum all day scrutinising everything someone posts.

Anyway this has gone off topic because of the amount of hysteria over nothing.

Again as I said originally I wish Amy all the best in her future endeavours. She’s been great for our football club.

A line was crossed

 

[ECYellow]

This forum is falling quite a long way short of what it used to be. Sad times.
