mkowlthesexynewversion Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Be fun to observe the bitter disappointment of women when the usual failure ensues. Blokes chirping "its only a game don't get upset" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto_Man Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Got tickets for the semi at the stain. If all goes to plan it should be England, but I'm not holding me breath... Typical opening game of a tournament I thought, we played some good stuff at times and should have won by more. You'd have expected Ellen White to do better with the chances she had in the first half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirstys 12th Pint Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Put it on for a couple of minutes and could not cope with the screaming kids in the crowd. Turned back over and watched Yorkshire in the T20. Now that was good. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the build up games they were playing through the phases, just like how they scored the goal, but after the goal went in it just seemed like they reverted to Neville ball.

Skamp Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Interestingly, and hardly a surprise to many, but lots of the women admiting to be gay. Unlike the men's game where the silence is deafening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirstys 12th Pint Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) No interest in the footy but was out drinking in City Centre and honestly amazed at the number of Dutch and particularly Swedes. Did not realise the match was on but the Swedish fans marching down Division Street was particularly impressive.

Left cos the bitching over who was shagging who ended up getting in the way of the football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we accept that, for example, hairdressing as a profession tends to attract more gay men - isn't the reverse possible when it comes to football? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrolMong Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 I’ve enjoyed watching it. I remember watching a womens game 20 years back and the standard was woeful. Technically it’s very good now, it’s much more competitive and it’s very well coached. I guess the biggest obvious difference between the mens and womens game is just the athleticism and physicality.

Most girls start much later. Used to be that way but the increase of girls participating at u6-u8 level is now massive. It's caught a lot of JFCs by surprise and some haven't coped as well as others but there are now clubs fielding 3 u8s teams where, a couple of years ago, they only had one. The problem now facing clubs is retention. A lot more girls bail out when it gets to single sex games. Some of that is down to competition for places, as the game hasn't grown with the numbers, but a lot of it is peer pressure from non playing mates. There's almost a reversal on gay attitudes where 14/15 year old girls don't want to be seen playing a 'gay' game. The hype around the number of elite players coming out is almost stigmatising the game for straight young teens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently watched an u11s league game where an all girl's team absolutely destroyed the all boys team of a decent semi pro club purely through technique. It was like watching Barcelona play Barnsley. They started playing 'keep ball' when the score got to 5-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wholeheartedly agree with all that Ty, my daughter's club only had an U8's team for the first time last season, they have 2 now. There's still a lot of late comers, we lost 6 at the end of last season, yet had 8 come in, none of whom have played in a team before. Club actually can't cope at the minute we've got too many players, one of the age groups has 20 for 14 spaces, can't set up another team as we've only one 9 a side pitch and 3 teams currently, we won't be able to schedule matches for 4 teams, pitch literally won't take it when we get to wet and wintery weather. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
