- Awards night attendee ‘sickened’ by after-dinner speaker’s jokes
- Broadcaster Eilidh Barbour among those who walked out
A body representing football writers in Scotland has apologised after a speaker’s sexist and misogynistic jokes prompted attendees to walk out of its annual awards dinner.
The backlash to remarks at Sunday’s Scottish Football Writers’ Association event, which also saw Sir Alex Ferguson receive a lifetime achievement award, has seen the body pledge to review its format.
