Have enjoyed watching England play but have taken little interest in women’s football in general.

What sort of salaries do the top players earn? Are there sizeable transfer fees when players move clubs?
 
So girls can play football with equal opportunity then?

So why create the illusion that they can't? Poor and divisive and has already taken in a few on this thread.
I assumed you’d had a beer yesterday but it turns out you’re just a bit dim.
I mean the actual statistics have been posted on the thread, and people are still saying it’s not true because one lass they know used to kick a ball around.
It’s the people basing their opinion on their own school experience 30 years ago that are the most entertaining. :lol:
About 15 years ago, still got kids in the family etc and don't know any of the girls interested in football which they definitely haven't been discouraged to.
:lol:

You don't think they should be allowed a kick about at school marra?

Did lasses play football at your school in P.E? Did the girls have a team? Wasn't an option at our lasses school in P. E. for them.
Yeah mate we generally all got mixed in together except for rugby and football at younger ages - but some of the better girls would sometimes play footy in lads PE lessons. Played cricket together too

I’m almost certain we had a dedicated girls team as well who played against other schools

Tbf, attitudes will have changed and progressed surely. So if some schools were allowing lasses to play 30 years ago you'd expect those schools, and more to be offering it now.

However, parents and teachers are on here saying in this present day it's not an option at their schools.

Fair enough marra. I'm not aware of any girls school football teams in comprehensive schools that I and other mates went to. That might be down to girls not showing interest I suppose.

No need to be abusive because you disagree with me Mick. You're better than that.

mux, people on here have said that some girls today can’t play at school - it is their personal experience - and someone has linked to data from the FA as evidence that it is true

Yet you’ve repeatedly said that people are inventing things and that it isn’t true.

That’s not a disagreement - that’s you implying people are lying.

With respect - what’s going on?
 
But most of not all out of school teams have girls. Might not play it in school which is wrong but its not like they can’t play.

But it's about playing at school. If it's offered as standard to lads, the argument is it should also be for lasses.

By having it at school it may just encourage more girls to play. Let Girls Play At School isn't as punchy either.

I think it has a lot to do with their traditional draft systems in football (American). The colleges and universities retain professional talent until a certain age and make an absolute fortune from them.

Whereas in Uk the kids who are decent go pro immediately.
Those students also come away with a 4 year degree. I agree with you in that the money surrounding it all is insane. College football and basketball here are much bigger in some areas than pro sports.
 
Just asked my 13yr old daughter. Does play football in PE but the quality is v poor. She plays up a year girls football for the school. And has been asked to play for the boys school team. She also plays for an RTC and a top boys team. So I'm not sure how girls "can't play"!
