I don’t know the context involved so jury’s out for me. But regardless it is silly for him to give her something to bat back at him, when he could have just taken her to the cleaners. I'm not having that, she's gone public and attacked him then hid behind this faux misogyny shite.

Dear oh dear. She also went public a few weeks ago, with a totally different story of the events, she's an idiot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also discovered Foster told his mum she wasnt invited to the wedding by leaving her a letter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear oh dear. Mr Foster has signed an NDA so cant speak publicly about it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On another note, shes just a total loud mouth. She cant help herself. As you've probably heard. She would challenge Saints fans in the stands if they shouted stick at her beloved. I'm sure he's a nice guy and all the rest of it but shes totally and utter deluded if she genuinely believes it when she says Tommy's temper was the problem. We've all seen Richard Foster lose his rag with his teammates, REGULARLY. It wasn't Tommy who forced RIchard to smash in the dressing room door at Dens, it wasnt Tommy forcing him to fight with Swanson. It wasn't Tommy that enraged him to the point he has shouting matches with individual fans in the East Stand. It wasn't anyone other than Foster to blame for him losing his temper away to Hamilton, picking up the ball and booting it out the stadium in a tantrum. We all can see for ourselves hes a bit unstable. She really needs to just shut the f**k up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t realise about the NDA, but I’m also familiar with Ricky’s issues, they did not begin at st Johnstone. I’d be surprised if he’s delighted she spoke up about it to be honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 8 hours ago, Londonwell said: Her name, as far as I’m aware, is not Mrs Foster though. Boris Johnson did the exact same thing to a female Labour MP a while back and I thought that was a dick move then, as I do now that TW has done it. Silly from him as all he needed to say was she’s talking shite 8 hours ago, Londonwell said: I guess a lot would depend on context. Reading the article, I got the impression that he was saying it to demean AM. I may be wrong on that and without actually having seen him say that, it’s difficult to judge. I don't see it as misogynistic. If she was a football pundit, or expressing a view on this as a neutral, then yes calling her Mrs Foster could be construed as just that. But her role in this issue is solely that of the wife of one of the protagonists. Addressing her in that capacity is not misogyny. Do folk think that because she is famous, it somehow gives her an elevated standing on all matters? If it was any other player's wife speaking out about her husbands treatment, and she was addressed in that manner, would there be any issue here? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fife Saint Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Amy should just focus on getting Richard's dinner on the table in time rather than spreading spurious allegations against Sir Tommy IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint jason Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 On 17/09/2019 at 15:30, Widge said: I think he was more making the point that she’s “Mrs Foster” so obviously won’t be saying anything against her husband even if that means not telling the truth. As far as I’m concerned she’s trying to simply deflect from the absolute state she’s got herself worked up in and going around contradicting herself. Surely it’s just as much misogyny to suggest that Tommy Wright suffers from “toxic masculinity” based on simply being a man and leader. I’d rather it stops here as it’s unnecessary, but Wright has a right to defend and put the record right. But he’s straying into PC and hot topic waters, which is always best avoided. Pedants' corner: Her attributed comments regarding Tommy Wright would not be described as misogyny but rather misandry. Regardless of this, she seems to have a turbulent relationship with the truth and no off button. A bad combination. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
