The club tweeted: “Following (intended fun) comments made on a podcast regarding women drivers, First Team Manager Marc White has received a six-game touchline suspension to be served from the beginning of the league season.”

In the video seen below, Marc White says: “Fantastic record last year. I think 12-stadium ban it was in total, which beat my previous best. Yeah. Beat my previous best.

“This year, I’ve gone easy, mate. Obviously, more women rest now. So you have to pay a bit more respect. Do you know what I mean? You have to pay a bit more respect like help them park. Do you know what I mean? But, yeah. But, yeah, it’s it’s I’m getting a bit better.”

Surely there’s more to it than just this 😅 https://t.co/RzXJzJEFWg pic.twitter.com/AzQj6gDJ1q

: There’s no way this is real 😂

: ? Has nothing to do with football, so why is it affecting the league season.

: Game has never been so gone

: Swear we had free speech

: Free speech doesn’t mean freedom of consequences. He broke FA regulations as he was sexist and he is rightly being banned for it. Hardly surprising that he has been caught out being sexist and of course the club try to defend him.

: But do you not think that this sets a very awkward precedent for whoever issued the ban?

: Games gone

: Dorking manager makes a joke about women drivers on a podcast…..and the FA has given him a 6 match ban. This is why woke is being rejected by the majority. It’s a Communist ideology, silencing anybody who doesn’t dance to their tune

: Ever wondered why the FA are not considered fit for purpose? Run players into the ground? That’s OK. Shaft supporters by allowing TV to move fixtures at very short notice? Acceptable. Make a joke? Burn the witch! The sooner the FA is torn down brick by brick, the better.

: Marc White can find hot water wherever he goes🤣🤣

: Had to be banter

: What a joke

: 😂 what am I reading

: April’s come round rapid surely

: No fucking way is it April 1st again already

: If it’s not politically correct for the fa you’ll get done. Idiots

: Oh give it a rest this can’t be true

: Nah what is this 😭😭😭

: @DorkingWDRS it isn’t April, April fools jokes aren’t in. This is absolutely absurd

: It was a daft, funny, comment. Surely he’s not been banned for that?!!

: So you can get a six-game touchline ban for saying something on a podcast, that has absolutely nothing to do with Football. Insane is an understatement

: wtf that’s mental 😭😂

: 😂 Podcasts even doing managers in now 😂🤦🏽‍♂️

: This is one of the most absurd bans I’ve seen.

: He’s such a div.

: Very very dangerous @fa interfering and trying to control private lives/ personal comments, precedent set …. Wow

: They actually have it out for this bloke

: Only in non league 😂

: Blokes got a touch line ban for comments on a podcast 🤣 wtf is that all about

: This sets a dangerous precedent. Absolute shambolic from whoever issued this ban. They need to seriously reconsider because this surely isn’t a lawful? Nothing football related so where do you draw the line now?

: He is a football owner and manager, it is very much football related as per his contract and FA regulations

@theboygosling: Saying it football related is a stretch. You now have the EPL wanting to do in match interviews, dressing room content and everything else. More opportunities for ‘disrepute’. Certain Pep wouldn’t have got a 6 match ban

@MaccaCoaching: Dangerous precedent @FA. I hope you now commit to monitoring the speech of everyone working in football. Every podcast, every interview, every social media post, you must commit to monitoring the lot. Good luck. 👍🏽 It makes you realise how far gone the game is when you see stuff like this. Is it any wonder there’s no personality left in football anymore when people are now being punished for speaking freely outside of their roles? For what it’s worth, I often tell my partner who is a female that she’s shit at parking the car, because she is. Could I be in line for a ban now I’ve let you know of this?

This sounds like it’s a joke, but the way it’s written suggests that it’s not in fact a joke. #NationalLeague ⚽️ https://t.co/QIP0tNjlWx pic.twitter.com/xDbFf0Mzl5
