Women’s Euros 2022

Performance.

There’s never been as bad a performance as this one by the SAFC mens team. Because the standard they play at means they’d lose 50-0 if they did.

So how did I end up at the end of the first half feeling like I was off my tits on coke, compared to numerous times when I've trudged over the Wear Bridge and contemplated lobbing my season card off it?

Performance has got nothing to do with standards or comparisons. It's how they play, score goals and create entertainment to watch.

I don’t like watching Eastenders - but I’m not feckin crying about it being given airtime on the bbc. What an absolute goon you are. Log off and give your head a wobble son.

The BBC do right in broadcasting it but it’s utter dross

The BBC have been giving womens tennis equal air time with the men the whole of my lifetime and womens athletics. I don't recall anyone maoning it was 'utter dross' or 'rammed down' their throats.

 

[SAFCOldie]

Correct. But that was never my point …

Be grateful for small mercy's as well, it's kept Eastenders off the box.

Don’t watch it then if it’s not for you? Nobody is putting a gun to your head and making you watch the BBC. It’s 2022 and there are a billion other things you can watch if you want to

Have a look at post #11 before you start spouting off.

Dinasuars Becs.

I have been watching womens football for around 12 years when Jill Scott was playing for Sunderland. Its massively improved and maybe the amount of abuse its getting is a good sign as the resident knuckledraggers are being highlighted.

Is Serena Williams a 'shite' tennis player because she would struggle to beat some very low ranking male players and would never have won a single slam v the men? No she isn't, she is an absolute legend of tennis so why do we judge female football players by the level of the male game?

These are the very best female players from across Europe and that's the very definition of elite sport. Its irrelevant how it compares to the mens game as men are not allowed to play in it.

I really think you're overreacting to a bit of banter.

I wouldn’t be drawing attention to the post where you used the word “sinister”.

That was your peak gonk moment

What’s womens tennis got to do with the quality of football!?

To you its banter. To most people its mysogyny. I have a wife two daughters a 95 year old mother and three sisters and I hate mysogyny.

Nobody compares womens tennis players to the men and calls them 'shite'.

That’s why you’ll always be ignorant because you ‘Can’t be arsed’ to look before you post.

I've got some female family as well. If someone was to say to them they don't like woman’s footie I honestly wouldn't get upset.

 

[FatCat2402]

Some utter fucknuts on this thread. If you don't want to watch it turn it off.....there's a substantial number who like watching women's football.

Ah, the old ‘it’s only banter’ riposte. Classic!

The thing is, the quality of football on offer in this game has been far from dross (by England at least!). Some really well worked goals and great technique on show…the people who compare the quality to the national league obviously don’t watch much of either!

If ever a thread on this board brought out the Neanderthals, this is the one!
Watch it, or don’t! Easy choice, but crappy negative commentary, about something you apparently don’t even want to watch but feel inclined to comment upon is just beyond reason.
I’m enjoying this match, But more to the point loads of young lasses are absolutely thrilled and can see an exciting path forward, and the amount of local girls who have, and are representing the England set up is staggering.
Meh… it’s a board and everyone is entitled to an opinion, but mebbes have a thought for a younger generation that just might have a more enjoyable life if womens footy is a future for them.

Exactly. You’re comparing two completely different sports at completely different levels. I’m not saying it’s dross because it’s women playing, I’m saying it’s dross because it’s dross.
