Carolyn has a pop at the boardroom

[bellwhiff]

Please don't try and derail another thread with your race-baiting. It's incredibly dull. Save it for your UAF mates on Facebook, there's a good boy.

He wasn’t baiting. It was you.

[Sandy Pate Best Stag]

Whilst I have some sympathy for this, unfortunately she can't have it both ways.

If she truly believes there should be no comments about her appearance, why does she go to such lengths and expense to accentuate her looks?.

Anyone who looks at her can immediately see that she has had cosmetic enhancements that she believes improves hers looks and uses them to her every advantage. Whilst accepting that is her absolute right she can hardly complain when people comment on it.

As they say though, any publicity is good publicity and once more Mrs Radford has pushed herself forward.

That said she has been very good for the club and long may it continue.

What a load of crap. Since when do people have the right to comment on how someone looks to there face in what Is supposed to be a professional environment?

Is it ok to point out to a women that she's fat and ugly? Of course not... Wake up and smell the 21st century Sandy.

Oh what a sad world when men can't give ladies a compliment without being accused of being sexist or predatory. There is no mention in the article that suggests these men are coming on to her or attempting to belittle her. It's like suggesting that any adult male who talks to children must be a paedophile.

Don't women ever comment on your appearance to you maybe saying they like your shirt or new haircut? Should we get on our high horse if they do?

These men are not discussing her appearance between themselves but paying the lady a compliment to her face. What's wrong with that? Haven't you ever commented on a mate who is all dressed up and looking smart?.

It used to be encouraged as a social skill but we are now bullied by the political correct who put their own interpretation on our words which usually bears no resemblance to the intention .

I don't think I need to come into the 21st century more like people should respect differences in generations and not look for insults that don't exist. As for professional environments, don't human beings attend them or are all 'professionals' humourless robots. Stop being so precious and you may actually get on with people.

[Amber Andy]

How does the old saying go ? You should never judge a book by its cover.

Surely in her professional capacity as CEO, she should be judged on her ability to do the job.

I think she's done a good job promoting MTFC. In fact doing these kind of interviews she gives the club a higher pro file ( as well as herself of course ).

Good luck to her, I admire her spirit.

Good post. When I put a suit on and my friends tell me that I scrub up well, should I be outraged ? No, I’ll take the compliment as it is intended.

As Doomy says, until she lowers kids prices at the Mill then she isn't doing a good job.

[Foxy]

Well said Sandy Pate Stag. It's faux outrage for the sake of it.

[arsene wengers coat]

Foxy, what aren't you enraged by?

[SidneyOttewell]

CR is a brilliant self-publicist. Personally, I think if she came across in a more natural way, she wouldn't get all the flak. All the posing and posturing looks false. If she toned it down a bit, she would be taken far more seriously for the good job she's doing. Sometimes, less is more. I'd like to hear the other female CEOs' thoughts on how they're treated, too.

[five to three]

Does she want women to be taken seriously or is it that really she wants herself to be taken seriously which after her poor showing on Question Time is less likely and didn't she pose for a holiday snap in her bikini a couple of seasons ago! Less about women and more about Carolyn I fear.

[Foxy]

Must admit when I first read the thread title I thought it said

Carolyn has a poop in the boardroom.

[Spiritater]

Let's not beat about the bush. She's only there because she's really pretty and incredibly wealthy in the first place.

I do like Carolyn but come on sweetcheeks you aren't a victim.

Everybody has to be a victim these days don't they? Except the only people who can't claim victimhood are white heterosexual men.

Feminism is another cancer on society.

I'm white and hetrosexual and get abused on a weekly basis.

[mousemousemouse]

Christ, we now have people saying she can’t wear swimwear!

The issue isn’t paying compliments, it’s the demeaning way it’s done I guess.

Regarding her career path, what does it matter? She’s doing a better job than most in our league I feel.

But, because she’s a woman and doesn’t like being treated like raspberries then she gets even more abuse.

Half you lot on here just don’t like the idea that she’s more successful than most of you

Well yes exactly. If you weren't the people saying those things would be getting their doors booted in arrested and charged with hate speech.

You don't have protected status Spiro and your feelings don't matter.

You see even multi millionaires can be a victim if they've not got a penis.

But you as a straight white man getting up every morning at 4 o clock to go and do 12 hours of manual labour just to be able to afford something to eat and electricity to go on t'Nintendo Wii can't cos you are the oppressor, the colonialist, and part of the patriarchy.

What a time to be alive.

Shock and horror, how on earth can she be taken seriously if she's worn a bikini ?

You brought race into it - as usual. And facebook? What are you babbling about?

Stop playing the race card.

Carolyn isn`t the prettiest of girls, but she`s extremely presentable, smart and outgoing. She`s like a breath of fresh air. I`ve spoken to her on a couple of occasions and thought what a nice girl she is. Yes she is succesful and obviously works very hard to acieve what she has achieved.

Oh my goodness "she isn't the prettiest of girls" , but then go on to praise her. I really think it's time this thread was closed for many reasons .
She's our CEO,and has done with JR, so much for our club, whatever she decides to do in her life, whatever she decides to say, is HER choice, whether you feel it right or wrong. The manner of some of the replies on here and subsequent arguing is all a bit ridiculous.
There are some strange comments on here, and it's potentially a thread that might not end well with the goodwill that has come to our club in the last few years. All from people who are fans of the club.....only on Stagsnet.

[bellwhiff]

Isn’t the prettiest of girls.

Bwahahaha.

Oh dear. Hark at Brad “Shirebrook” Pitt here.

[oldweststander]

She's a bit of an attention seeker I feel.

We've heard nothing from her recently, since that car crash apoearance on Question Time, she has kept her head below the battlements after that.

[Parkinsons Perm]

So what about this latest BBC article and the Metro one the other day

So what if she is?
It's what makes the world go round. She's our CEO generates good publicity for us, and looks like she works hard as well for us and the club.
The undertones of many of the posts on here smack of a bit of jealousy and resentment.
Give the woman a bloody break!!!!
God knows what some of you would be like if she was CEO of a club across the M1 border.

[DoomMerchant]

WHAMMO!!! (As the Batman graphics dept might say)

[DoomMerchant]

The replies in this thread are society encompassed. Human brains and attitudes come in different shapes and forms. One person's insult is another person's compliment. Another person's black is someone else's white. Opinions are opinions.

In the short, my own opinion is that Carolyn Radford is good for my football club. She's proven my initial thoughts of her to be a tee shot in to 'out of bounds.'

[PRL13]

Typical of the mentality of some Stags fans. You tell the truth and get slated for it. It often makes me wonder if we deserve success!
