HAVE you ever listened to, or read, someone’s quotes and thought: “This has got to be some kind of joke, you cannot be serious?”

That is what went through my head after reading Football Association (FA) chairman Greg Clarke’s quotes on gay footballers and black managers on Monday.

It’s the latest gaffe from the FA following their scheme to get more girls playing football included nice smelling pink bibs and advertising on the back of bathroom doors. I can see what Clarke was trying to say, he just worded it wrong and made himself look silly.
