Women's football

[sir roger]

I can see both sides of it, but my main worry would be that there appears to have been no benefit in the ladies apparently doing it by the book by going to their administrators, so think things will be done more furtively in future.

 

Anyway,enough of the seriousness, here is Alisha Lehmann of Villa  and a bonus Douglas Luiz for the laydeez

Bit shit, that she's had to resign.

As beautiful as it would be, Klopp and Alisson can’t be partners.

 

Football is just not the environment for work romances.

Yeah, I get that. The same is probably true, in certain circumstances, in other workplaces. Still a bit shit, like.

Looking at the two articles I posted on the first page, football would be a bloody interesting place if Alisson and Klopp were partners and Nat Phillips had got his missus to injure Van Dijk.

Average attendances in the Women's Super League have increased by 200% after England's triumph at Euro 2022.

Kelly Simmons, the director of the women's professional game, also says average attendances in the Women's Championship are up by 85%.

 

England won a first major women's tournament when they beat Germany in the Euro 2022 final in July.

"The Lionesses' victory propelled the women's game in this country to new levels," said Simmons.

Well the men have just seen to those crowds shrinking faster than a dick while  looking at  a naked picture of Susan Boyle.

Any chance we could get Megan Campbell to pretend to be a bloke and replace Trent on the throw-ins?

I reckon that's how one of our training sessions looks.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Once again our very own striker Katie Stengel

I would not care if Kelly Brook, Salma Hayek and in form Pamela Anderson were the front three. naked. I would still not watch as it is shit.

 

Edit. Well maybe match of the day.

There's been pre-match warm ups at Anfield like that to be fair.

I fucking hate it. Number of times I've clicked on a link on BBC football eg Liverpool target Manchester United Striker. I'm thinking what the fuck? Click on it and it's fucking woman's footy. Ah fuck off.

 

Plus the commentators. I would not watch the Champions league final if we were in it and a woman was commentating.

I thought 'Fran' was a woman. Not much to see here. ' Handbags.' (Runs for cover.)

For one reason or another I watched quite a bit of the women's footy over the weekend (live footy on telly at 3pm on a Saturday!)

 

There is some quality, but the goalies - jeez, they're awful. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Leighanne robes thighs and arse should get the Balon d'Or! Unbelievable skills.

I think the better goalie coaches go into the men's game and there are no (not yet anyway) female role models for the upcoming female keepers to look up to.

I'll probably get slagged for this and maybe rightly so but i'm going to say it anyway because it fucking grinds my gears.

I am sick of hearing about women's football. Not because it's women but because it is shit.

The coverage it gets goes way beyond the interest in it and the level it is played at. I do not know a single women who has even a passing interest in it. I am sure others will disagree and have wives and daughters that follow it and that is great. I have 3 daughters and not one would watch it if it was across the street and free.

A healthy woman's game is brilliant, I am all for it. it should be supported and funded. I suspect however that most tickets are bought by men for daughters or whatever. If a women's league is to be successful then how about women go and watch the thing. If they did I suspect they may get a few 1000's at matches and that is fine. Below conference level because that is the standard whether you admit it or not.

 

This is were I defo will get in the shit but the same applies to pundits and commentators. You have some women, I've no idea who she is, sitting next to Gerrard or Souness analyzing matches. Guys who have won European Cups played at World Cups alongside a female pundit who would not get a kick in a male under 16 game. 

I like golf have a decent handicap and play competitions all the time. They would not lob me on next to Tiger Woods. Not because I don't appreciate and understand the sport but I have never experienced that level of competition.

I repeat this is not sexist but particularly the punditry and commentator side of it stinks of box ticking. Have a womens game enjoy it, be successful, I wish it all the best, but tone the coverage down a bit until at least women regularly fill stadiums.
