Women’s Euros 2022

[SAFCOldie]

Imagine how good the women’s game would have been if men hadn’t made it illegal for 50 years.

Wouldn't be any better, remember Brazil trained on beaches and nothingness and were by far the best team for 20 year. The only reason the womens game was popular is because blokes turned up to watch women. I can give you evidence of this with the contempary soundtrack of the day and you can draw your own conclusions.

And a hanging in this world is a ban

Good point , now fuck off!

 

[Pantomime Mackem]

I’m not going to do your Bobby basic internet research for you. Some national teams are rightfully paying equal wages. My point is at club level….’week to week‘ club matches. Ok Mr Moral High Ground…why do Sunderland AFC male players get paid more than their female counterparts?

Nobody’s asking for equal pay at club level, you’re being ridiculous

 

[Alan Partridge]

Should be a straight ban and thread delete IMO

I do agree to an extent but it's handy for outing the unknown wankers though, and hopefully kept the shit talk out of the match thread, which I stayed off as I was watching the game on iPlayer and that stream runs a minute or two behind so you read what's happening before you see it.

viewing figures will be terrible but they won’t portray it that way.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Its not a minority sport, its the national game

It’s an awful standard of football and when a training ground is used as one of the best uses you know it’s poorly supported but it’s the bbc

You have been aware of some of the places we've visited the past 4 seasons?

 

[Wild Card]

It is being rammed down our throats because media outlets, see it as a potential lucrative income stream in the future and are trying to build it now.

Not a fan of womens football personally but not offended by it either. It's no different from a company ramming a product down our throats when they see they are potentially onto a winner.

A few million the other day for the England game apparently, good figures for the BBC and of course it keep Eastenders wokery off the box, so all good. Everyone loves some sports tournament in summer.

And when did this agenda get accelarated, Was it ten years back, 5 years back, 3 years back or was it... 3 weeks to...

Oooch

 

[RossTheNinja]

I like men (not in that way) and I like cars as I have one (although not in the way many do). If F1 was in my back garden I would close the curtains and put my earphones in. They are not contradictions either.

PS - My back garden is not big enough for an F1 circuit by the way!!

Look at me. I have a back garden. Pathetic

That's an utterly depressing post mate.

Womens football only matters if men turn up to watch?

I will indeed 'draw my own conclusions' and I suspect most others will as well and it does not put you in a good light.

It's true and it is depressing.You will see women's attendances rapidly drop from the 20s to the 70s.

 

[djilobodjiitist]

This might not go down too well but why are the BBC pushing this sport down our throats on their main channel?
Unbelievable the coverage for this minority sport.

Get f8cked

 

[Super K]

I'm not suggesting that women club footballers get paid the same as their male counterparts, I was asking you who was campaigning for it.

As we live in a capitalist society, it stands to reason that men are going to get paid more as their game generates far, far more money.

I told you at 10.15pm let market forces decide and now you are agreeing with me. But you chose to be sarcastic….how magnanimous of you !!

I am glad you agree. I find most of your posts depressing and regressive.

See you deleted the really inflammatory bit and as for 20's to the 70's that was when the FA banned womens football and society never exactly tret women well.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

I agree. Nor trying to be chauvinistic but it's shite. Goalkeepers are shite. Players tripping over the ball. Am all for women's football but its a different game. Don't have ex.male players on as its a different game.

About 15 years ago, I umpired an interuniversiry women's cricket match, and possibly spent as much time coaching as umpiring. A few years later, I umpired a girl's U15 match, and the standard wasn't that short of the boys. The women can't hit the ball as far as Jos Buttler or bowl as fast as Jofra Archer, but their skill is undoubted.

The standard of women's football is on an upward curve. They won't match the physicality or pace of the men, but they can develop the technical skills. They're two sides of the same coin.

If men feel threatened by that, it says more about them than the women.

 

[Pantomime Mackem]

I feel sorry for all the haters on here who missed out on something extraordinary tonight. It’s going to take a while to process that England performance. All I know right now is that it was unexpected, it was superb, and if you love football you’d have had one of those rare nights where football truly uplifts you.

I only want the best for everyone and have many women and young girls in my family, but draw the line at history being rewritten.
