Scots football chairman quits over 'dangerous' posts making fun of violence against women

A football club chairman last night quit over “dangerous” social media posts making fun of violence against women.

Stirling Albion’s Stuart Brown suggested he’d like a Coronation Street character to “throttle” a female relative. He replied to a chat board user complaining about a female colleague by saying: “Boot the bint… You’ll feel so much better”.

On the Pie And Bovril football forum, he also referred to women as “fat munters” and described Corrie character Gail Platt as a “turtle-faced bitch”. In a series of historic messages, Brown suggested a chat board user get married on Boxing Day so that on anniversaries “it’s easy to remember to give her a smack in the mouth for messing up your life”.
