We're Definitely not Obsessed with Women's Football, Honestly

Pretty reasonable debate here

Lead story on BBC lunchtime news. Two days away FFS. I get it is a feel good story in a quiet News month but seems OTT

Well it’s only a World Cup Final, so no big deal. Let’s be honest, if it was the men the media would be all over it like Turkish and his Circle of Trust. It is brilliant achievement and if they win they deserve all the media attention they will get.

Dear God,

 

If you can’t see the difference between the blokes World Cup final & the bird one then you’re beyond help.

Same team as the semi. Lauren James on the bench.

Oh there is a game on today. Two posts about a World Cup final. I guess people are a little more excited than the semi where it wasn’t even mentioned on here until the first goal went in. Even then the person made a dig at another poster in it 🙄

Absolutely right, perfect place to discuss the women’s WC final… a bit like going to my garage and talking to all the tools there.

Don’t forget it was the scene of the great cull so if you came late you missed all the deleted posts

So it was but the cull was because no one was talking about the football supposedly. It’s pretty incredible that with it being so popular there isn’t more discussion. Still I’m sure Sue Whistle will be along soon to launch another foul mouth rant about what wankers everyone who doesn’t agree with her are, rather than talk about the game.

You're so manly and you shouldn't let anyone forget about that xxx

Just been into town. 1 England flag on a car and hardly anything in the shop windows.

Yep, whole country behind them

What’s that got to do with anything? I’ll be watching it and cheering the girls on. Shame other people that are so interested don’t seem bothered

Yes, interest levels should definitely be judged by number of posts on a message board set up by fans of a football club that has nothing to do with todays final. 

And flags.

I agree as this is the forum where people are constantly reminding us how popular it is when anyone says it isn’t it’s surprising there isn’t more discussion about what has been recently called a major final, which it is.

Viewing figures? I probably wouldn't judge interest in a World Cup final based on attendance at a Saints game no, men or women.

Interest in a world cup or womens football in general (which I thought was the threat title)?

Like I said, you're both so tough and burley and no amount of anyone daring to watch, show interest or even say they enjoy it will change that. The desperation is strong.

[Pilchards]

Guys if you’re not interested in watching it then don’t bothered.

I’ve represented my country at the highest level in sport. The pride in wearing your team colours to a national anthem is something special.

Come on Lioness do us proud!

What a weird post, Why are you going on about being tough and burley? I told you I’m watching it, been looking forward to it.  I’m just asking why more people aren’t showing any interest. You don’t seem to have any answers other than make weird comments about my masculinity, very Strange

Please stop constantly reminding us how interested you are in it. That's twice now you've told us you're watching it.

Viewing figures peaked at 15 million. Most watched television event of the year.

I guess that the whole country was being them.

Too much watching and enjoying, rather than putting flags up signalling it. 🙂
