Well done @AlexScott for standing up for Steve Bruce today and making yourself heard despite being so patronised and talked down to by male colleagues, most notably Ruud Gullitt. You won support while they came over as uncaring and arrogant with their snide comments #motd #swfc

Seriously. Guilty of “inappropriate behaviour” when at Bristol City, eventually found to have used racist remarks on two occasions, banned for three games for brandishing a metal pole and verbally abusing an official. Yet *somehow* the FA give Sampson the grounds for an unfair...
