Alan Brazil talksport

[Digsys dinner]

Laura woods - class presenter and knowledgable of the game

Women’s football - not my thing too slow but certainly improved


Alan Brazil - looks like a tomato

 

[Chewit]

I think there's more people out there that just don't care, rather than "Hate"
I can take it or leave it, but if i was never to see a womens game ever again i wouldn't feel like i'd missed something.

This
Good luck to them, but it’s an irrelevance to me. So is Alan Brazil for that matter. However he is right in the context of all things Man Utd

 

[Ducktales]

Canny mad that sky are happy to spend money on a sport nobody watches

Those boxes won’t tick themselves.

 

[Banks]

It has to start somewhere though- its natural you'll get some big teams who dominate to start- hopefully as it gets more popular this will change.

Its fantastic to see the amount of girls playing football in clubs these days.


As I say above, it has to start somewhere. Just look at how far its come in the last 10 years.

And "nobody gives a stuff" is just completely wrong.

It's not completely wrong though is it normally these things are somewhere in the middle.

It's a niche sport. You cant force people to like something they don't like. The women's game is worse than league 2 football, i don't watch men's league 2 football because it's not very good to watch.

Stop giving a niche sport as much attention as a major sport. Let it grow independently away from the mens game, that's the mistake they are making.

 

[Digsys dinner]

Smaller goals and smaller pitches

Sure to annoy some but would make it more exciting and would have its own identity

You actually think Sky put anything before profit?

It’s far far far worse than League 2 mind.

You could put South Shields against the womens national side and would be a massacre still.

 

[hodge1973]

He’s absolutely right, bout time someone said it.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

It serves about as much purpose as me commentating on netball.

Do you know anything about netball? Have you played?
You appear threatened by women being involved in football so it might be worth going along for a try some time

 

[Banks]

Said that for ages. Pitches are far too big and so are the goals.

There will be money to be made by pushing agendas such as this.

It's s the feminist agenda flagship mate , they wont do that .

That makes no sense.

Their whole model is based on advertising and subscription revenue.

newsflash, women and Lgbt have money too

It is away from the mens game. Dunno what you mean here

 

[BucketBiff]

If you asked 100 Man Utd fans what their priority is, with the choice being a) getting back to challenging for the prem or b) the women’s team winning silverware. The vast majority would choose option a). How dare Brazil publicly state the obvious though. Cancel him immediately

 

[Fetch Fletch]

So what you’re saying is there are people interested? Enough to make it profitable ?

Excellent thank you for proving the OP wrong

 

[Banks]

It really isn't.

Sue Smith is in the soccer Saturday panel, Alex host of match of the day.

Several female pundits now involved in the mens game.

That's not away from the mens game at all.

 

[Hugh Gains]

Let's face it, 90% of football fans don't have any great interest in women's football.

They sometimes get decent crowds but they are selling tickets at about a fifth of the price of the men's game.

I have no problem with people calling a spade a spade.

Well said

In addition to that weve got the equal pay shenagans and numerous other motifs.

The mens game is over 100 years old and has developed over that tenure, the womens game is in its infancy and is artificially above itself.

Furthermore, there's a reason more people watch Man United men than Aldershot, the standard and the quality, the same goes to the women. Pound for pound the quality is poor and It's the same reason the likes of the womens NBA pails to the NBA.

The conversation was only made about priorities by the fat tomato though.The project they were talking about actually mentioned the womens football team. So what was the matter with the woman mentioning it?
