Lord Duckhunter Posted 16 May, 2021 Author Share Posted 16 May, 2021 Stating that chicks football is shockingly bad and only gets its publicity by piggybacking on the men’s game, isn’t a 1970’s opinion. It’s a 2020’s fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan The Flames Posted 16 May, 2021 Share Posted 16 May, 2021 Doing the line at my sons football today, I turned to run down the line and nearly smaked into the female co-manager who was standing on the line in a world of her own, staring into space. The ball went up the other end, so I stopped and said you were miles away were you thinking about the shopping later. Ten minutes later the male co-manager came strutting over saying I insulted her with my sexist comments. It took me ages to work out what I had said. Fuckin modern world.

Manuel Posted 16 May, 2021 Share Posted 16 May, 2021 It gets more coverage than it deserves, based on ability. I don't mind promotion but why choose women? Why not choose youth? Shouldn't the under 18 sides complain that ageist policies prevent them getting the coverage they deserve? Why not promote disability football? It exists and has leagues but I don't see them on the BBC every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Bateman Posted 16 May, 2021 Share Posted 16 May, 2021 It does get an OTT amount of coverage now, mainly on the BBC, but I guess that is making up for the fact that it has been TOTALLY ignored for years. Yes, the level is not as good, but they're mostly (I believe) not paid massive amounts of money to be professional athletes who kick a ball, they just kick a ball. I think it's crap and I choose not to watch it, but then I only watch Saints matches anyway as football has generally become a load of bollocks. I'm waiting for the first woman to appear in a man's team in the top 4 divisions, THEN we'll see proper advancement. I'm being semi serious as it's too easy to have a go at women's football. Don't like, don't watch and don't look at the BBC news pages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baird of the land Posted 17 May, 2021 Share Posted 17 May, 2021 I mainly just don't have time for more football in my life. I've enjoyed watching the odd international match even if the quality is nowhere near as high as the men's game. I do feel a big issue at times is the lack of competiveness. Too often just one team thrashing another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Force Posted 17 May, 2021 Share Posted 17 May, 2021 The economic reality is that its cheap and therefore the BBC can afford it. Its not like most football at most levels is over blessed with quality. Sport is interesting to watch when it is competitive. Watching two bantam weights fight is interesting, but if you tried to compare this with how two heavy weights go at it, its not the same thing. With no professional incentive the quality is unlikely to be at its peak. Watching athletes at their peak competing with other athletes at their peak in a fair contest is exciting. But to compare them against each other is not helpful they should be judged against themselves. If it does not entertain you choose to do something else is the only suggestion I can give. People do not watch kids sport and complain their Johnny's game aint as good as watching Real Madrid. But is judged in the context of a game against other 8 year olds for example.

whelk Posted 17 May, 2021 Share Posted 17 May, 2021 Can’t think of many sports where sexes compete. Horse racing and darts is all I can think of. Happy for it to be on and doesn’t have to be same level of men’s game but the patronising accompanying reporting and punditry gets my goat. Pretence and now has crept into football podcasts. It is not the same and I don’t want to hear about it. also amusing how angry the gammon get like their golf club is being overrun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference with a lot of those sports is that they were never banned from playing for years and have been supported by consistent funding. Women's football was left floundering for decades. It's only been in more recent times that it's been supported properly, firstly in the US and some of Europe and more latterly around the world. They obviously won't have the skill men do at the top level because they've largely not had the structure to achieve it. Give it 20 years and their game will have improved a hell of a lot. Also, any proper pro woman footballer would run rings around your Dog and Duck players. I did some FA coaching badges years ago and was taught by Sue Lopez, her touch and passing was miles ahead of anyone else I have ever played with.

I don’t particularly have a problem with them pushing woman’s sport, it’s good for the game and I like seeing the Southampton ladies do well (like earning a promotion playoff after beating Portsmouth).
